Where is home? For the world-wandering expat, this question holds layers of meaning—confusion and longing, fullness and beauty, grief and gratitude. Home can feel like a shifting concept, stretching across passports, cultures, and relationships. It’s the ache of missing one place while being rooted in another. It’s the joy of belonging and the sting of never quite fitting in.
For those navigating re-entry, home can be even more complicated. Returning to a passport country—whether for a season or for good—can bring unexpected grief, reverse culture shock, and the realization that the place you once called home has changed, or maybe you have. How do we make peace with the in-between, honoring both what was and what is?
In some ways, always searching for home makes us more aware of the hope of heaven—our truest, lasting home. And yet, we also hold the truth that Christ has made his home in us, and we are at home in him. What does it mean to live in this tension? How do we embrace the beauty of home in the here and now, even as we carry the longing for something more?
We hope you will join us for the conversations happening this month!
