Something New Is Coming - and It's For You

Faith In Everyday Life

There is a question I get asked more than almost any other — not in church, but everywhere else. At the grocery store, at school pickup, at neighborhood gatherings. People find out I'm a priest and they ask, sometimes directly and sometimes sideways: how do I make my faith feel real on the days when I'm not in church?


It's the right question. And I've been thinking about how to answer it — not just in a sermon, not just in a moment, but in something people can hold on to, return to, share with a friend.


So we built something.


Twelve articles. Four series. One question: what does it mean to follow Christ not just on Sunday, but on every ordinary day of the week?


Starting this month, Sts. MM&M is launching Faith in Everyday Life — a new blog series written for our whole congregation. Twelve articles across four series, each one exploring what it means to follow Christ not just on Sunday, but in the grocery store, at the dinner table, in the neighborhood, in the seasons of the year.


This is not a theology course. It is not a Bible study. It is, I hope, something closer to a letter — from a friend who happens to know a lot of theology, written for real people living real lives in Coral Springs, Florida,  and beyond, in 2026.



THE FOUR SERIES

I

The Sacred in the Ordinary

Incarnation & everyday life

II

The Book of Common Prayer as a Way of Life

Liturgy & spiritual formation

III

Faith in the Public Square

Justice & Anglican tradition

IV

Seasons of the Soul

The liturgical calendar & transformation


Each article is short enough to read over coffee — around 800 to 1,000 words — and ends with a simple reflection question or practice to carry into the week. They are written to be accessible whether you have been Episcopalian your whole life or walked through our doors for the first time last Sunday.


They are also written to be shared. If something moves you, forward it to a neighbor. Print it for a friend who has been meaning to come back to church. Leave a copy on the break room table at work. These articles exist for the people inside our walls and the people just outside them.

My prayer is that something in these pages meets you exactly where you are — on a Tuesday, in the ordinary, wondering if God is anywhere nearby.


The answer is yes. Always yes.

Grace and peace,

Father Lee+




Title for Hard Question Series

can you be angry at God? Yes. The tradition provides a whole grammar for it. The unprocessed cry to God is one of the oldest forms of prayer we have.

They showed up. They grieved. They did everything right. So why did Jesus put them outside? A reflection on certainty, experience, and leaving room.

Where is God when it's awful? Closer than the silence makes it seem, and more hidden than we'd like. The cross says God does not watch from outside.

Doubt is not the opposite of faith. It's what faith looks like in a human body. It's the gap between what we reach for and what we can fully hold...

a lot of people sitting in pews on Sunday morning are carrying doubt they've never said out loud, because they're not sure the church can handle it.

We have spent a long time domesticating the Holy Spirit reducing it to a warm feeling. But the Spirit in John 20 is something else, something that doesn'twait.

They were still looking up. We are living in the between — after the Ascension, before Pentecost. Come back to the room. The Spirit is on the way.

Read the second chapter of Acts carefully and you will notice something the Sunday school version tends to smooth over: the disciples were not ready.

Jesus says he won't leave us orphaned. But some weeks, that promise is held by faith alone. A reflection for the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

The building faces the street for a reason. A church that exists only for the people inside it has forgotten what it is for.
