ISSUE No. 66 | February 2026
WELCOME
If you’re new to CULTIVARE we welcome you! CULTIVARE is a monthly field guide for life and faith, brought to you by TEND. Each month we explore a specific “field” – a topic or theme through which we seek to cultivate contemplation, engagement, and deeper understanding. Our guiding questions are:
What are you cultivating in your life?
What fruit do you want your life to bear?
Each issue of CULTIVARE is structured into three parts:
Cultivate: Examines a specific “Field” or facet of life and offers questions to unearth and challenge our held perspective; along with concise kernels of truth which we call “Seeds.”
Irrigate: Explores the ways we nurture our understanding, which varies from individual to individual. We offer six means of irrigation: Art, Poetry, Profile, Film, Essay, and Books.
Germinate: Encourages practical ways to engage in becoming more fruitful and free in our lives.
Our name, CULTIVARE, in Spanish means “I will cultivate.” We hope each issue of our field guide will encourage you to do just that – cultivate new thoughts, actions, faith, hope, and fruitful living. We invite you to dig in and DIG DEEP!
FIELD
For we are partners working together for God, and you are God's field.
(I Corinthians 3:9)
Our theme this month is The Journey Outward. You may recall that our last issue spotlighted The Journey Inward. This month we shift our focus to the Outward Journey, though the two journeys are intricately connected. Author Elizabeth O’Connor beautifully describes it: Just as we are committed to being on an inward journey for all of time, so we are committed to being on an outward journey, so that the inner and the outer become related to one another and one has meaning for the other and helps to make the other possible.
In O’Connor’s book Journey Inward, Journey Outward, she frames the Outward Journey as the active, visible expression of one’s faith and inner life through service in the world. It’s not merely good intentions or private belief—it’s about how a person engages outwardly with others and the world from the foundation of who they truly are and what they’ve been formed to be inwardly. Three key elements of her definition include:
-
Active engagement in life and service: The outward journey encompasses what we see, touch, do, and achieve—acts of serving, giving, helping, healing, and building up the world around us.
-
Action that grows out of inner transformation: It isn’t just busywork or moral action; rather, it arises from a deep inward life—the inward journey of prayer, self-knowledge, and relationship with God. The inward and outward journeys complement and inform each other.
-
Engaging the world with true self and gifts: The outward journey reflects engaging the world from one’s “true self,” using genuine passions and abilities in ways that make a positive difference.
In this issue we profile pastor Gordon Cosby, who was Elizabeth O’Connor’s mentor and pastor, and also mentor for theologian and author Jim Wallis. We feature the Outward Journey of sculptor Shinook Kang. Our Essay of the Month highlights the blessings of living in a missional community and offers ideas on how to build your own missional community. We also spotlight the inspirational documentary film Fill the Pot Ministry and their work in Salt Lake City, Utah.
As we each seek to live out our understanding of the Christian faith, may we commit to the outward journey as a means of embodying our ongoing inner transformation in concrete, compassionate, world-engaged action—not as separate from our spiritual life, but as a tangible and meaningful expression and extension of it.

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you…and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
(Genesis 12:1-3)
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:2 NIV)
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
(Matthew 25: 34-40 NIV

A handful of quotes to contemplate and cultivate into your life
The outward journey is not to be confused with the way of the crowd. Those on an outward journey can see the neighbor. Their world includes the technological age, the modern metropolis. They are concerned with shaping the church for responsible involvement.
(Elizabeth O’Connor)
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. (Maya Angelou)
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. (Mahatma Ghandi)
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. (James Keller)
I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know. God may call any one of us to respond to some far away problem or support those who have been so called. But we are finite and he will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us. (C.S. Lewis)
Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have. (Margaret Mead)
We do not go into the desert to escape people but to learn how to find them; we go there to find ourselves so we can discover them. (Thomas Merton)
We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. (Bryan Stevenson)
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. (Marcel Proust)
ART
Artist of the Month
Sculptor Shinook Kang
Part 2: The Outward Journey
By Olivia Mather
“That was God in the studio with me the whole time.”
In our last issue, we featured Shinook Kang’s spiritual journey inward, the experience of learning about one’s own soul and discovering it with God. Understanding one’s spiritual self is necessary to have an effective journey outward that is grounded in compassion, understanding, empathy, strength, and faith. It’s tempting to think of this move from inward to outward as a one-time, unidirectional journey, or as a predictable cycle of input and output. It’s not. A life of inward and outward journey isn’t linear. Its direction is toward maturity, a maturity built upon layers of all the micro journeys we take within the self, and between the self and outside world. For some, this would be difficult to tease out into categories of inward and outward. It might look like a tangled mess, or it might look like a back-and-forth movement that happens so quickly, and with such overlap that it just feels like authentic existence. Shinook’s authentic outward journey is what we highlight in this issue.
Integration is what I see in Shinook Kang and her life as an artist. In our interview, she told me about the God-ordained inflection points of her life. At each of those points (for example, a personal illness, her father’s illness and passing, and her graduate program in art therapy), she was simultaneously called to serve while facing difficult realities about herself. What came through was her courageous commitment to the realities around her and to the realities of her own story. Having fully placed all of it, the good, the bad, and the ugly, in God’s hands, she moves outward in confidence.
As an art therapist and coach, she is intentional about supporting others to be all that God created them to be. Her work is self-conscious, but is also a natural outpouring, almost a need or requirement of her. Her specialty is the aftercare for those who need healing after trauma. Being present in these spaces requires her to do the inner work, too, and seeing God’s hand in all of it. Similarly, her work as a sculptor attends to the finished result—the glaze, the texture, the luster, the shine, the surface of a material—but in partnership with what’s underneath: a structure, a potential, the properties of the medium, or the process of sculpting itself.
What might such art look like? Shinook’s Self Portrait is one answer to this question. She started with solid clay, forming it into a likeness of her own head. To fire a large piece of solid clay in a kiln, however, is to ask for poor results, at best, and a literal explosion at worst. So she hollowed-out the sculpture by first slicing the top off and then scooping out the inside. Being hyper-aware of what happens inside the clay during this process, Shinook knew that she couldn’t just fire it yet, because again, it could crack or explode unless the clay itself is very dense. The clay must be squeezed, squished, and pushed. If it’s not dense enough, there will be air bubbles. And those air bubbles can trap moisture that will expand during firing, possibly causing it to explode. The viewer has no way of knowing this; she can only see the surface, the texture, the shape, the shine, the glaze. She can admire the artwork with no understanding that the literal molecules of that material, the unseen of it, must be ordered. It has rules, it has integrity, it is whole.
All artists must consider the process of making as well as the finished result, but some artists are “all in.” For Shinook Kang, it’s all of a piece. To live in the outward journey is to live authentically and toward wholeness, because of God’s love. Her word for this is sincerity; it’s a state of being honest with ourselves while moving out to others in confidence because of the healing that God is doing.
POETRY
Reminder
By Michael Ryan
Torment by appetite
is itself an appetite
dulled by inarticulate,
dogged, daily
loving-others-to-death—
as Chekhov put it, “compassion
down to your fingertips”—
looking on them as into the sun
not in the least for their sake
but slowly for your own
because it causes
the blinded soul to bloom
like deliciousness in dirt,
like beauty from hurt,
their light—their light—
pulls so surely. Let it.
PROFILE
Gordon Cosby
(1917-2013)
To really belong to one another and to depend on one another—to really share a common destiny—is difficult for a community that wants to be diverse. It is also the community’s only hope of survival. Whether or not we will be honest with each other, whether or not we will let ourselves be truly known, determines everything. (Gordon Cosby)
Our profile this month is of Gordon Cosby, founder of Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC, a church known for emphasizing and embodying the practice of Journeying Inward and Journeying Outward. For many of us followers of Jesus, Gordon Cosby has had a major influence and impact on our lives. One of the individuals most impacted by the life and ministry of Gordon Cosby is Jim Wallis, American theologian, writer, teacher and political activist. Wallis is best known as the founder and former editor of Sojourners magazine. When Gordon Cosby died in 2013, Wallis wrote the following article in Sojourners as a tribute to his friend, mentor, and cherished brother-in-Christ. The article entitled “Gordon Cosby: Teaching Us How To Live and How to Die” can be found at: View Now
For readability’s sake, we cite the entire article below. Wallis writes:
Gordon Cosby was perhaps the most Christian human being I have ever known. But he would always be the first to raise serious questions about what it meant to be a “Christian” and lived a very different kind of life than many of his fellow pastors and church leaders who call themselves Christian. Gordon was always happier just calling himself a follower of Jesus. He always told people who wanted to call him “Reverend” to just say “Gordon.”
At 4:15 Wednesday morning, Gordon went home into the arms of Jesus. At 94 years of age, he died in hospice at Christ House, a medical living community for the homeless, and one of the myriad of ministries formed by the Church of the Saviour in Washington, D.C., which Gordon and Mary Cosby founded in 1950.
Gordon Cosby and the Church of the Saviour were one of the most important reasons that Sojourners decided to come to Washington in 1975. And we have been spiritually intertwined ever since. For Sojourners, Gordon was a mentor, elder, inspirer, supporter, encourager, challenger, and retreat leader. For me, personally, he was a pastor and my most important spiritual advisor and director. Our countless times together provided me more wisdom, care, support, discernment, and direction than I ever found with anybody else. And never have I felt more prayers for me from anyone than I did from Gordon Cosby, especially in the closing years of his life.
Gordon Cosby taught us how to live by the Gospel and, in these last years and months, he also showed us how to die. In one of my many visits near the end of his life, Gordon said to me in his deep graveling voice, “I am enjoying dying.” What a Gospel thing to say. From the first time I heard Gordon preach, to the last sermon he did a few years ago, I have never heard the Gospel and its meaning more clearly articulated than from Gordon Cosby.
Well into his nineties, and living in Christ House with the homeless men he always served, Gordon was less able to continue to do the all things he had done all day, every day, for so many people and over so many years. “All I can really do is pray now,” Gordon said to me, “but I have so much time now to pray!”
During a long Lenten fast a few of us undertook in 2011 to draw national attention to the vulnerability of the poor in Washington’s budget debates, Gordon told me he had constructed a special “Jesus Prayer” for my fasting and prayed it 100 times a day! Knowing that Gordon Cosby was praying for me that many times each day left me with such a sense of undergirding and sustenance, even without any food, for all those weeks. His prayers literally lifted me.
And when it came to fundamental questions about the vocation of Sojourners — or my own vocation — there was never anyone I wanted to talk with more than Gordon. Last night, as so many people packed into the Potter’s House, the first Christian “coffeehouse” in the nation where Gordon had lunch or coffee every day with literally thousands of people; it was absolutely amazing how many people’s vocations Gordon Cosby had fundamentally impacted. The stories went on and on.
Transformed lives of both the poor and the affluent because of him, pastors founding churches and ministries because of him, marriages kept going because of him, communities forming and new missions starting because of him, individuals changing both their lives and the world because of him. A pastor said how disappointed he was to tell Gordon that their new little church had only 15 people to start. “Wow,” replied Gordon, “Fifteen people is amazing!”
Another pastor told his story of how Gordon had inspired and sustained him in forming a church for the homeless in the suburbs of Washington. “Gordon took such a genuine interest in me,” he said. But looking around the room and having listened to all the other stories of just the people who had gathered quickly on the night of Gordon’s death, the pastor then said, “I don’t know how one person could take such a genuine interest in so many people!’
Gordon Cosby never needed or wanted to be out front or become a famous public figure. He could have spoken across the country, and was often invited to do so. But he instead decided that his own vocation was to stay with a relatively small group of people trying to “be the church” in Washington, D.C.: the Church of the Saviour, which has produced more missions and ministries, especially with the poor, than any church I know of anywhere in the country — even the huge mega-churches who capture all the fame. He never wrote a book, went on television, talked to presidents, planted more churches, built national movements, or traveled around the world. He just inspired everybody else to do all those things and much more. And the world came to him.
Last night we all gathered to tell stories about how Gordon had changed our lives: the poor and middle class; the former alcoholics and the former wealthy (both because of Jesus); clergy and ministry leaders; founders of projects that have touched the lives of thousands; activists and contemplatives; political players in Washington, D.C.; those with southern American accents and those with African accents; blacks and whites who found themselves in a church together in a city where that didn’t happen in 1950, when the Church of the Saviour was born. All said, in different ways, that Gordon always asked them about how their “spiritual life” was going.
While American churches were divided between those who stressed evangelism and those who focused on social action, the Church of the Saviour spoke of “the inward and outward journey” of deepening our lives in Christ and then letting Christ take us out into the world on one creative mission after another.
I was blessed to be at Gordon’s bedside the night before he died and with Mary alongside him — still loving one another after 70 years of marriage. I felt like I was standing there with countless thousands of people who would want to say how much Gordon loved them and how much they loved this man of God. As one person said last night, “You knew he loved like Christ, and he made you want to love like Christ too.”
Gordon was suffering no pain when he died. He just made the decision to rest in peace — the peace of Christ. Thanks be to God for the life of Gordon Cosby.

Memoriam with Interview of Mary and Gordon Cosby: View Now
Agape love is the power to love the unlovable. It is the power to love people we do not like. Jesus commands us to love our enemies in order to be like God. We are not told to love in order to win our enemies or to get results, but that we may be children of God, who sends the rain on the just and the unjust, who looks after both the good and the evil. The predominant characteristic
of this agape love is that, no matter what a person is like,
God seeks nothing but his or her highest good. (Gordon Cosby)

Helping Others Makes Us Happier
Elizabeth Dunn
(14 minutes)
Research shows that helping others makes us happier. But in her groundbreaking work on generosity and joy, social psychologist Elizabeth Dunn found that there's a catch: it matters how we help. Learn how we can make a greater impact—and boost our own happiness along the way—if we make one key shift in how we help others. “Let’s stop thinking about giving as just this moral obligation and start thinking of it as a source of pleasure,” Dunn says.
ESSAY
Living Missionally Together:
Learning to Build Missional Communities
By Jeannette Melvin
Do you long for a stronger experience of community? A deeper sense of mission and purpose? Do you want to exercise compassion and care not solely by yourself but with others? Have you ever thought of living missionally with others?
In this article by writer Jeannette Melvin of the Jesus Film Project, she explores the topic of Living Missionally Together drawing from the Bible, history, and living examples. She explains:
I’ve observed that many people in the church (myself included) are almost always crying out for community. We want to gather with other Christians who share similar interests and with whom our lives coincide. That’s not always possible. We live far from church, our schedules don’t line up, or when they do, we realize we don’t have anything in common––at least with those in the Bible study located closest to us.
We seek community for a mutual building up of our faith, and rightly so. We’re looking for Godly friendships, accountability, a place to grow and “do life together.” As good as these things are, when we talk about missional community, these benefits are not the driving force. They’re not supposed to be.
Melvin offers this definition of "missional community:"
A missional community is a group of Christians who does life together, but do so with the intent to share Jesus. A missional community enriches our desire for community, turning that desire outward for the sake of the world.

NON-FICTION
Just Mercy:
A Story of Justice and Redemption
by Bryan Stevenson
Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.
Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. A New York Times Bestseller!
FICTION
A Man Called Ove
by Fredik Backman
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.
CHILDRENS

DIG DEEPER
Practical suggestions to help you go deeper into our theme
1. QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION
Devote some time and thought to these reflective questions on our theme:
a. How would you describe your “outward journey?”
b. In what ways do you faithfully care for others?
c. What is one act of compassion that you performed recently, and how did it make you feel?
d. What is your primary motivation for caring for others?
e. What do you enjoy most about caring for others?
f. In your care for others, are you empowering them, or creating a dependency?
g. What is the difference between empathy (feeling with) and sympathy (feeling for) in your actions?
h. What can you learn from a recent time where you offered support that didn’t go as expected?
2. INCARNATIONAL COMMUNITY-BASED MINISTRY:
A LEADERSHIP MODEL FOR COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION
In this thoughtful article by Gaspar Colon, he writes: “As we look at the life and ministry of Jesus, and get caught up in His intensity and focus on bringing the influence of the kingdom of heaven to whomever He met, we must ask ourselves to what extent the Christian church reflects the transformational traits palpable in the ministry of Jesus. Is the church, as the body of Christ, content to live on the sidelines as passive victims of the entropy of humanism and its resulting post-Christianity? Does the church even perceive itself as an incarnational entity through which Christ showers His blessings to a world filled with self-centeredness, suffering, and pain? Does the church strive to earn social capital and trust by reflecting the ministry of Jesus?” Read the entire article here: View Now
3. WHAT THE POOR NEED MOST
In this article from First Things, author Joe Carter reflects on his childhood lived out in poverty, what is a helpful response from the church, and the lessons learned decades later as a well-ensconced middle-class man. Carter cites the insight of Abrham Kuyper: There cannot be two different faiths”- one for you and one for the poor. The question on which the whole social problem really pivots is whether you recognize in the less fortunate, even in the poorest, not merely a creature, a person in wretched circumstances, but one of your own flesh and blood: for the sake of Christ, your brother. It is exactly this noble sentiment that, sad to say, has been weakened and dulled in such a provoking manner by the materialism of this century. Kuyper’s words are even more profound when you realize he wrote those words in 1891. Read the entire article here:
4. SONG: ACT JUSTLY, LOVE MERCY, WALK HUMBLY
In this song by singer songwriter Pat Barrett, he shares that: “Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly… Act, Love, Walk… for me, this phrase from Micah 6:8 has touched every area of my life. It’s an invitation to abide in God, but also an invitation to change. The type of change that happens when you audit your soul and don’t like what you find. View Now
5. PRAYER FOR COMPASSION
LOVING GOD: We pray for a compassionate heart. Help us to be more understanding and empathetic towards others. Let us see the world through the eyes of those who are suffering and be moved to action. May our compassion lead us to help and support those in need.
Thank you for your compassion towards us. Help us to reflect that same compassion in our interactions with others. May we learn to listen deeply and to respond with kindness and care to those who are hurting. Guide us to be patient and non-judgmental, recognizing the struggles and challenges that others face. Help us to extend compassion to ourselves, understanding that we too are deserving of care and kindness.
We pray for a world where compassion is the norm, where people look out for one another and support each other in times of need. Thank you for the opportunities to practice compassion. Help us to seize those moments and to make a positive difference in the lives of others. AMEN
ROOTED
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.
(Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV)
