Series: Awe
January 18, 2026 | Rev. Brooke Heerwald Steiner
I've been reading the book Awe by Dacher Keltner. How fun to hear the wisdom of scientists who have studied awe for their work. With concrete evidence, they reveal how the emotion of awe is critical for our well-being and connection. Thousands of years ago, the writers of Job must have known this as well. This week we'll hear Job 38, when God speaks to Job after 37 chapters of questioning. The response leaves Job in a place of awe at the Creator and creation. I hope you join us this week, as we cultivate more awe in our own lives.
Series Information
Awe is the feeling that rises when we encounter beauty, goodness, or mystery and realize we are part of something larger than ourselves. In a culture of speed, certainty, and distraction, awe slows us down, humbles us, and helps us pay attention to what truly matters. This series invites us to rediscover wonder as a spiritual practice—one that awakens compassion, deepens faith, and keeps us present to the world as it is.
