If you're reading this, you've found the GHNC blog — a small new space where our community can share what we're learning, what we're wrestling with, and what God is doing in our midst between Sunday mornings.
I want to start with why this blog exists.
For years, much of what shapes our faith has happened in our Sunday gatherings. The worship, the message, the prayers, the conversations over chai afterward — that's where God meets us as a community. And that won't change. Sunday is, and will remain, the heartbeat of our church.
But Sunday is once a week. Faith is every day.
So we're starting this blog as a way to keep the conversation going — through the workweek, through the seasons of life that don't always neatly fit into a sermon, through the questions that surface at midnight when sleep won't come.
What you'll find here
Different kinds of writing for different kinds of moments:
- Devotionals — short reflections on scripture, written for ordinary days. The kind of thing you might read with morning chai.
- Teaching — slightly longer pieces that work through what we believe, how we read the Bible, what prayer is, and other foundational questions. Especially helpful if you're new to faith.
- Pastoral letters — when something happens in our community or our city that needs a word, I'll write to you here.
- Reflections on life and faith — particularly what it looks like to follow Jesus as a Nepali Christian in Bangalore. We have a unique story, and that story is worth telling.
We won't post every day. We won't even post every week, sometimes. But when we have something worth saying — something that might encourage you, challenge you, or simply remind you that you're not alone — we'll share it here.
What we hope it becomes
I hope this blog becomes a place where you read something on a Tuesday afternoon and feel less alone. Where you find a piece of scripture that meets you in a hard week. Where a question you've been afraid to ask gets gently answered.
And if it does that for even one person — that's enough.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
The Bible says something simple about the Christian life: we're not meant to walk it alone. Encouragement, the kind that builds us up over time, happens when we stay close to one another. This blog is one small way to do that.
A small request
If something here helps you — share it with someone who needs it. If something here raises a question — ask. You can always reach me by email, by phone, or just by stopping me after a Sunday service.
And if you're new to all of this — to church, to Christianity, to anything spiritual at all — you are especially welcome here. There are no wrong questions. We're all figuring this out together.
Welcome.
