“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Isaiah 26:3
Mind Stayed is a series of metaphors – in story, poetry, and visual art – that focus on who Christ is and his relationship with us. The aim of the series is to help us to think deeply, and to meditate on Christ as he is presented in the Bible. A new metaphor – created and crafted by various authors and artists – will be posted here each Tuesday. Then, on Friday evenings, to help us think more deeply about the metaphor and the Bible, a quiz will be posted. To recieve an email notifying you when new content is posted, you can join the list at this link. This email list is ONLY for this series.
