IMBY: In My Back Yard Course
A Radical Alternative for Housing and Community
The housing crisis seems like it is an impossible problem. But what if there was a different way to live out community and mutuality?
IMBY, (In My Back Yard) dares to dream for tiny homes being built and shared in people's actual back yards. And it is not just pie in the sky. It is happening. Homes are actually being built and shared in people's back yards. The numbers work, the building can be done. It's not easy, but what worth doing ever is?
This course will inspire you to join that dream, to create, build, share and play. It will teach and equip you to participate in a new way of housing that can actually be conceived and lived out. And it will guide you into becoming part of one of the most significant movements of community-building in our time.
If you are concerned about the housing and community crisis, this course is a must.
Available self-paced or in a facilitated cohort.
Scripture is not straight forward. There is an awful lot within its pages that should trouble us, if we are reading it sincerely and carefully. Misogyny, violence, slavery, terrible sadness - what do we do with these things?
We need to trouble scripture: we should ask searching questions of the interpretations that have been handed down, looking for strengths and challenges, but also wondering if there are other ways of reading and understanding these passages. Perhaps there is truth to be found in the tension.
Jesus or Nationalism?
So-called "Christian Nationalism" is all over the news these days. What is it, and is it a faithful expression of Christianity? Or are we being lured in by the predatory powers of nationalism, militarism, and the strong-man idol?
This self-paced course, hosted by prophetic voice and biblical scholar, Bob Ekblad, will help your discernment and will challenge you to pursue the alternative, humble way of Jesus.

Art is a revolutionary practice. The Nativity was a revolutionary moment.
In this course, Bear Barnetson, a West Coast Indigenous artist from the Nadleh Whut'en, Dakelh, Duntem'yoo nations, re-imagines the story of the Nativity through his revolutionary art and relflections. This is re-telling of the Nativity story through Indigenous art.
This will revolutionize the familiar story to you all over again.
