Of Beautiful, Rowdy Stories (Thank you, Allen Arnold) – and How We Need Them

January 17, 2018 / Kiersti Giron / Jesus, movies, story, Uncategorized

When I saw The Greatest Showman with my husband and father-in-law the week after Christmas, I sat in the movie theater and cried. It was probably partly the state of my heart right then, and lingering emotion from our own theatrical production of The Promise a few weeks earlier. But the story just captured me […]

Last week, I sat in a darkened church and saw a story live and breathe on stage…the story of Immanuel. I saw a young girl, unsure about being betrothed to a man she knew little, have her world turned upside down when one of God’s heavenly warriors showed up in her little home in Nazareth, […]

  “Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.” ~John 13:1    John I don’t understand, Lord. Since supper started, things haven’t been […]

Come and See: Glimpsing His Presence Now

March 22, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / faith, Jesus, Michael Card, Music, teaching
4

    We stood around our students, we teacher-chaperones, our arms outstretched over them. Together we prayed, aloud and all at once, as believers in Korean churches often do. And amid sniffles from the students and tears pricking my own eyes, I felt the presence of Jesus there, covering us, surrounding us.   Have you […]

Dr. Who and Jesus: How Watching BBC Sci-Fi Helps Me Know God Better (No, Really…)

  A few weeks ago one of my students asked me, “Mrs. Giron [both they and I were still getting used to that name], are you a Who-Lockian?”   “A what?” I asked.   “A Who-Lockian. A fan of Dr. Who and Sherlock.”   “Oh,” I said. “Well, I guess thanks to my husband, I’m […]

Have Mercy on Us: Of Old Liturgy, Chalk Words, and When We Just Need His Grace

May 13, 2016 / Kiersti Giron / England, faith, Jesus, Music, Uncategorized

  England has been on my mind a lot lately—partly because my husband and I love British TV shows (really, I do like Downton Abbey and Dr. Who and Call the Midwife and Sherlock way better than most American shows I’ve seen!). And partly because my sister is going to get to study abroad at […]

And the Crazy Thing Is, It’s All True: Star Wars, Godspell, and Stories That Give Us Hope

  I have married into a Star Wars family.   My beloved new husband, Anthony (yes, I’ll post some wedding pictures soon!), grew up on the Star Wars movies and delved into the novels as a teenager. His mom loved Ewoks, and his younger brother’s alternate moniker is Vader (though he’s an extremely good-natured guy). […]

As we celebrate our Lord’s resurrection today, I thought I’d share the last installment from the “Journey to Jerusalem” series posted in years past. Happy Easter, dear friends–He is risen! He is risen indeed. May that truth and hope fill your hearts today.   “Therefore you too have grief now, but I will see you […]

More Than Enough: Of a Song, Singleness, Getting Married, and Just Needing Jesus

  The sermon series at church lately has been on, “How do we love?” Each week, the speakers have focused on loving a different group of people. When the focus has been on marriage and singleness, a couple of points especially stuck out to me.   Marriage is good. Singleness is also good.   Marriage […]
