Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

Jack is interviewed by Ocean Robbins to explore the big spiritual questions—why there is suffering, how to navigate duality, making the ordinary holy, and cultivating a loving witness.
Discover Your Buddha Nature with Jack Kornfield, an online journey for reclaiming our dignity, compassion, and generosity, beginning June 2.
“It’s important to not use spiritual practice to set up an ideal or judge yourself. Sometimes you need to shut down, and then you open again. So the spiritual path is really about being with both the calm ocean and the storm.” – Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack and Ocean mindfully explore:
- What first got Jack into mindfulness and meditation
- Life as beautiful, and an ocean of tears
- Suffering, Buddhism, and the end of suffering
- Why is there suffering in the world?
- Navigating the reality of duality—form and emptiness, life and death
- The recycling nature of the universe
- How to make the ordinary holy
- Meeting our lives with presence
- A simple way to explain “The Witness”
- The magic of consciousness
- A calming and deep guided meditation
- Holding fear and grief in compassion
- Not getting caught in reactions and anger
- Acting the nobility of heart and your original dignity
This episode was originally recorded for the Food Revolution Network in November of 2024.
“Life is extraordinarily beautiful, and it’s an ocean of tears. You can’t have birth without death, you can’t have light without dark, you can’t have beginnings without endings. We live in a universe constructed of opposites. That’s just the game of form, of duality. You can’t have form without the emptiness from which it comes.” – Jack Kornfield

“We live in a universe that’s recycling itself—the ultimate recycling of birth and death, form and rebirth. For us as human beings, the question is not why or how. The Buddha didn’t actually answer those questions. He said those are questions that don’t tend to have understanding. He said, what I’m interested in is how to navigate the universe as it is, in a way that brings love, well-being, and freedom to all who want to awaken to this.” – Jack Kornfield
