Phil lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with his wife, Julia, and their son, Henry David.

Some communities last a lifetime; others come together only once. But what if the power of belonging isn't measured by time, but by presence? In this reflection, we’ll explore the beauty of temporary community, the grace of showing up, and how—even in a fleeting gathering—we can find something holy and whole.
