The Descendent Life is the authentic Christian life. Just as Jesus descended into loss, darkness and death, and ascended into new life and flourishing, we do the same as we follow him in our everyday lives. This post series invites you to see descent as God’s means of grace to transform you into who you were truly meant to be.

The Descendent Life “begins in the dark and moves toward the light—but [we] should not move too quickly or too glibly, lest we fail to acknowledge the depth of the darkness. As our Lord Jesus tells us, unless we see the light of God clearly, what we call light is actually darkness: ‘how great is that darkness!’ (Matt. 6:23).”
