ISSUE No. 65 | JANUARY 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 Inward . For some readers, this phrase may be unfamiliar; for others, it names a deeply lived experience of the heart, mind, and soul—one they know well and continue to walk. The term is often associated with the Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC, and its founding pastor, Gordon Cosby, along with resident author Elizabeth O’Connor. Yet the idea itself reaches far beyond any one community. It arises from a long and faithful tradition, stretching across centuries, of taking a slow, loving, and honest look at oneself—at one’s life, one’s relationship with God—and allowing that reflection to lead to meaningful confrontation and purposeful change.
Socrates famously observed, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Centuries later, St. Augustine echoed this longing with his prayer: “Grant, Lord, that I may know myself, that I may know Thee.” Together, they remind us that self-knowledge and knowledge of God are deeply connected. John Calvin underscores this idea when he wrote: “Without knowledge of self, there is no knowledge of God. Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true sound wisdom consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves.”
As we begin a new year, we invite our readers to embark on the Journey Inward —to live more freely, more truthfully, and more fully as God intends. Yet we also acknowledge that honest self-examination before God is not easy. It asks for vulnerability, courage, and commitment. It also requires the gift of community—companions who walk with us, support us, and tell us the truth in love.
The goal of the Journey Inward is not self-absorption, but transformation: to know ourselves and God more deeply so that we may faithfully engage in the Journey Outward —loving others, caring for the earth, and responding to the needs of the world. The inward path prepares us for a life of service, compassion, and mission.
In this issue, we are pleased to profile author Elizabeth O’Connor, whose life and writing have guided and encouraged countless pilgrims along their own inward journeys. We also spotlight sculptor Shinook Kang, gaining insight into how her inward journey shaped her life and informs her art. In addition, we feature an essay by Henri Nouwen, who beautifully illuminates the vital connection between the inward and outward journeys.
One of the most evocative descriptions of the Inward Journey comes from Thomas Merton, who wrote:
We’re all on a journey. We’re all going somewhere. The geographical pilgrimage is the symbolic acting out an inner journey. Every moment and every event of every persons’ life on earth plants something in their soul. But I do have a past to break with and an accumulation of inertia, waste, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. The great need of clarification of mindfulness, or rather of no mind, a return to genuine practice, right effort, need to push on to the great doubt, need for the Spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
May this new year find us returning to genuine practice and right effort. May we have the courage to confront our deepest doubts and formidable fears. May we trust the Spirit of God to guide us along the inward path. And may the clear light of Christ lead us, sustain us, and encourage us on the journey ahead. (DG)

A handful of quotes to contemplate and cultivate into your life
Christian spirituality involves a transformation of the self that occurs only when God and self are both deeply known. Both, therefore, have an important place in Christian spirituality. There is no deep knowing of God without a deep knowing of self, and no deep knowing of self without a deep knowing of God. John Calvin wrote, “Nearly the whole of sacred doctrine consists in these two parts: knowledge of God and of ourselves.”
(David G. Benner)
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground of our own feet, and learn to be at home. (Wendell Berry)
The life of “peace” is both an inner journey toward a disarmed heart and a public journey toward a disarmed world. This difficult but beautiful journey gives infinite meaning and fulfillment to life itself because our lives become a gift for the whole human race. With peace as the beginning, middle, and end of life, life makes sense. (John Dear)
Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. (Carl Jung)
Go to the center of your being and trust that God is there and wants to give you what you most need. (Henri Nouwen)
Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am. (Parker J. Palmer)
The journey to happiness involves finding the courage to go down into ourselves and take responsibility for what’s there: all of it. (Richard Rohr)
Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. (August Wilson)
ART
Artist of the Month
Sculptor Shinook Kang
By Lisa Hertzog
“That was God in the studio with me the whole time.”
From an early age, Shinook (Karen) Kang experienced art as a way of communicating her truth. Growing up as a Korean American with immigrant parents in a small, predominately Irish American New Jersey town, she often felt excluded and misunderstood. Art became her sincerest language, a way to live outside marginalization while remaining connected. As a young adult, she tried sculpture at an artists’ community in Mexico and accessed a new language that reflected all her parts. She was especially drawn to the method of carving—a process of taking away.
Carving required stillness and attention. It asked her to look beyond surface appearances to what was already present in the material. “I usually don’t have a vision of what I’m going to create,” she explains. “What I wish to communicate gets formed through journeying with the stone or wood.” Unlike relationships, where she used intellect and sarcastic humor for protection, carving required presence and vulnerability. There was no need to pretend with the tools and materials, which were waiting to receive all of her heart and mind.
Shinook learned that stones develop a protective outer layer formed by exposure to their environment. To discover what laid beneath, she would spray found stones, often in glacial deposits, with water. This exposed the color and composition of the stone’s grain formation, highlighting what a stone might reveal once polished. In her search for truth, this practice took on broader meaning; our human condition means we develop protective layers and we hide truth that’s waiting to be uncovered.
Truth was not something simply added to her practice. It was a give and take relationship. It emerged through being still and meditating upon the rock and her stories. Each stone required a different response. Each story required a different tool and different marks. The work taught her to attend closely—to notice the unique properties of each stone and discern which tools would birth the shapes she wished to create. Shinook desired to share personal stories of transformation with the viewer in visual, emotive, and tactile ways.
Shinook grew up wary of organized religion and searching for meaning in relationships left her disappointed. Her artistic practice brought purpose and healing, but at thirty-two, she concluded that life is ultimately solitary. When she shared this with a coworker, the response unsettled her: “I’m not alone. I have God.” That conversation led her to attend church to find belonging. She didn’t know much about God but knew that “Amazing Grace” was a Christian song she wanted to hear (God spoke to her through that song sung spontaneously by a pastor). She came to believe that Jesus was real but struggled to believe that grace extended to her. She was too broken; her identity remained shaped by imperfection, fracture, and resistance. In the stillness of a solitary morning, she sensed Jesus saying, “Shinook, I love you.” It was truly His amazing grace embracing her.
She saw that the stillness, patience, and truth she encountered in the studio had not been solitary experiences after all. “Oh,” she realized, “that was God in the studio with me the whole time.” The lessons she had learned through carving—about acceptance, stepping into the unknown, speaking one’s truth and revealing rather than hiding or forcing—took on new resonance. “We’re like these stones,” she explains. “There’s dead stone and living stone. When you tap it with a metal chisel, you can hear the difference.” Stones, like people, bear the marks of the environment. Beneath lies the true self God has uniquely created each person to be as He gently carves away the dead parts.
Today, Shinook understands her sculptural process as collaborative. In her abstract direct carving, she begins without a fixed outcome. “I have an idea in my heart and mind,” she says, “but I don’t know what it will look like.” She starts by removing dead stone, then works slowly, circling the rock, responding to what is revealed. Sometimes she uses hammer and chisels and other times, power tools with diamond blades. But always she uses her hands and eyes with a sacred openness in the quietness and trust of her studio. “God shows me little by little what to take away,” she reflects. “We’re co-laboring in the sculpture.” This same posture shapes her spiritual life. She has learned that presence precedes understanding. “When I do show up,” she says, “God has been waiting.” The inward journey—whether in stone or in faith—remains unfinished, shaped by attention, patience, and the willingness to stay with what is being revealed.
Sculpture: Remembering
Shinook heard about a beautiful, round, tapered pedestal of pink stone, nearly 1,000 pounds, at a Salvation Army near Times Square in New York City. She immediately went to see it and purchased the Spanish Alicante marble valued at $2,000 for $50, plus a $25 delivery fee. Someone had carved off what was on top and discarded this treasure.
At the time, Shinook had come to the realization that her path to a life full of loving relationships required her to love herself before being able to love another. Therapy and creating art were slowly guiding her on this path of discovery. She instantly knew this was what she wanted to convey in this rescued marble. Weeks into its reshaping, a fellow student in the studio passed by remarking, “That stone looks like an internal hug.” She knew she was on the right path.
She worked on it off and on, taking three years to complete it. Shinook titled it Remembering—remembering to love herself first. Years later, when she became a believer, she recognized that the sculpture had also been teaching her another truth: before loving others, she must first love God. He had always been with her in all her journeys inward that would be shaped outward.
POETRY
Love after Love
By Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
PROFILE
Elizabeth O’Connor
(1921-1998)
By Duane Grobman
I first learned of Elizabeth O’Connor in 1980 when I was given a copy of her book Inward Journey, Outward Journey by my pastor Bob Pietsch. Bob had visited the church community in Washington DC of which O’Connor was a member—Church of the Saviour—led by pastor Gordon Cosby. The term “Inward and Outward Journey” was new to me, but Bob shared that it was an integral concept to the life of Church of the Saviour and how the church lived out its mission. I was deeply moved by O’Connor’s vulnerability, spiritual insight, and her extraordinary gift of writing. Four years later this was deepened when I was diagnosed with advanced cancer and turned to O’Connor’s book Cry Pain, Cry Hope. Once again, her vulnerability and spiritual insight deeply moved me and encouraged me. Simply put, O’Connor’s writings have been a gift and grace to me throughout my lifetime and have encouraged me on my own inward and outward journey.
I am not alone in the impact O’Connor has had on a life. Numerous leaders I know have been profoundly impacted by her writings. I recently discovered that pastor and author Aaron Kleinfelter wrote a short biography of her. Kleinfelter writes of O’Connor:
It is impossible to tell her story without telling the story of the Church of the Saviour. The two are inexorably entwined. Further, it is important to have a sense of her personal history in order to understand something of her teaching as well. Elizabeth O’Connor came to Washington, D.C. when she was thirty-one years old. She had originally planned on a temporary stay while she looked for a “healing environment for her mentally ill brother.” But a visit to The Church of The Saviour, a newly established congregation under the leadership of Gordon Cosby, changed her plans. She had been invited by two friends to a class Cosby was teaching at the church. She writes, “I was fond of these friends and in the debt of their love, so out of respect for what was important to them I went to visit the church that they were excited about and described as ‘different.’” Dorothy Devers, a long-time friend of O’Connor’s and an editor of her work, was also a member of The Church of The Saviour. She shared a tribute to O’Connor at her memorial service saying, “She had come to please her friends but, before the evening had ended, she knew that she had come home…. I recall how shy she was, so inhibited that she had not the courage to read aloud even one verse of Scripture.”
Elizabeth O’Connor died on October 17, 1998. She has left an indelible mark upon her community, The Church of The Saviour, and the many that have read her books and articles. Gordon Cosby pays homage to her in a sermon the day after her death. He states, “For Elizabeth, everything was geared to personal growth leading to outward work, all in the context of faith communities. Her books were deeply supportive of our missions, interpreting them for a larger public.” Cosby continues, “Elizabeth felt that every local congregation should be a seminary preparing its people for ministry, and she felt that one of the deepest challenges was that of teaching.” According to Cosby, “Elizabeth thought of herself primarily as an educator,” and her writing was an expression of this call. “She didn’t think of it as just a call to write, but a call to interpret church and its meaning in terms that the uninitiated into the faith could understand. Many who have been alienated from the church began their journey home through her writings.” In an interview with Kelsey Menehan, O’Connor reveals, “I write for those who are lonely in their hearts, people searching for what they have not found.”

***
O’Connor describes the “journey inward” as the essential work of spiritual formation that must undergird any authentic outward mission. She argues that churches often rush toward activism or service without cultivating the interior life needed to sustain it. The “journey inward ” is the intentional movement into one’s inner life—exploring motives, fears, wounds, gifts, desires, and one’s relationship with God. It is a process of self-discovery and spiritual formation through which a person becomes more whole, honest, and aware of who they truly are. Key themes in O’Connor’s understanding of “journey inward” include:
-
Honest self-confrontation: She emphasizes that people cannot serve truthfully if they have not faced their own fears, compulsions, and unhealed places.
-
Listening to the inner voice of God: Discernment is central; one must learn to recognize God’s invitations and promptings within.
-
Naming one’s call: The journey inward leads each person to identify their unique vocation rather than imitate others or conform to expectations.
-
Inner disciplines: Prayer, silence, journaling, solitude, and small-group reflection are presented as structures that help people stay grounded in the truth of their own lives.
O’Connor insists that true inward work happens in community, not in isolation. Other people help us see our blind spots, wounds, and gifts. She describes small mission groups as places where individuals tell the truth about their lives and are held accountable for their inward growth as well as their outward commitments.

Journey of the Heart:
The Life of Henri Nouwen
(2004)
A Roman Catholic priest, University of Notre Dame, Yale and Harvard professor, author and social activist, Henri Nouwen possessed a unique insight into the human condition. Through his many books, which continue to be widely popular, Nouwen wrote passionately and eloquently about our human frailty and brokenness, while identifying and addressing the spiritual needs of today. Journey of the Heart is a thought-provoking look at the life of this unassuming, charismatic scholar considered by many of his contemporaries as one of the best and brightest minds of his time. Abandoning the insular works of academia, Nouwen embarked on a radical and personal pilgrimage of downward mobility that led him to L'Arche, a community of people with developmental disabilities. This documentary features an inspiring conversation with Nouwen shot just a year before his death. Interviews with key friends, prominent colleagues and family members help complete the picture of this unique man of faith—a person of passion and compassion. Produced by Windborne Productions; 56 minutes in length.

ESSAY
Moving from Solitude to Community to Ministry
By Henri Nouwen
This article by Henri Nouwen was originally published in the spring 1995 issue of Leadership journal. We at Cultivare think the article offers great insight and instruction into the Inward and Outward Journeys and what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Here is a brief excerpt from Nouwen’s article:
There is a moment in our life when we stand before the desert and want to do it ourselves. But
there is the voice that comes, “Let go. Surrender. I will make you fruitful. Yes, trust me. Give
yourself to me.”
What counts in your life and mine is not successes but fruits. The fruits of your life you might
not see yourself. The fruits of your life are born often in your pain and in your vulnerability and in your losses. The fruits of your life come only after the plow has carved through your land.
God wants you to be fruitful.
The question is not, “How much can I still do in the years that are left to me?” The question is,
“How can I prepare myself for total surrender so my life can be fruitful?”
Our little lives are small, human lives. But in the eyes of the One who calls us beloved, we are
great—greater than the years we have. We will bear fruits, fruits that you and I will not see on this earth but in which we can trust. Solitude, community, ministry—these disciplines help us live a fruitful life. Remain in Jesus; he remains in you. You will bear many fruits, you will have great joy, and your joy will be complete.

NON-FICTION
The Gift of Being Yourself:
The Sacred Call To Self-Discovery
by David G. Benner
Much is said in Christian circles about knowing God. But what if there is also value in knowing yourself? Christians throughout the ages have agreed that there cannot be deep knowledge of God without deep knowledge of the self. Discerning your true self is inextricably related to discerning God's purposes for you. Paradoxically, the more you become like Christ, the more you become authentically yourself.
In this exploration of Christian identity, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner illuminates the spirituality of self-discovery. He exposes the false selves that you may hide behind and calls you to discover the true self that emerges from your uniqueness in Christ. Freeing you from illusions about yourself, Benner shows that self-understanding leads to the fulfillment of your God-given destiny and vocation.
FICTION
Diary of a Country Priest
by Georges Bernanos
Awarded the Grand Prix for Literature by the Académie Française and adapted into a classic film by Robert Bresson, Diary of a Country Priest has long been recognized as a literary masterpiece. In this acclaimed new translation by Bernanos scholar Michael R. Tobin, the full, unabridged work is made available to English-language readers for the first time.
Author Michael D. O’Brien writes of Bernanos’ book: “This novel, so immense in significance and beauty, is a portrait of a suffering soul, a simple priest who carries within his own body the sins of others, and in his heart an incomplete love for himself. As the events of the story unfold, we come to know this highly sensitive soul, so dedicated, so yearning to help others. Yet even as his worsening health is combined with a dark night of the soul, grace moves in him, and through him, for the salvation of others. This fine new translation offers us afresh a major Christian classic, which prevails as one of the great works of human literature.”
CHILDRENS

My heart is a window. My heart is a slide. My heart can be closed...or opened up wide.
Some days your heart is a puddle or a fence to keep the world out. But some days it is wide open to the love that surrounds you.
With lyrical text and breathtaking art, My Heart empowers all readers to listen to the guide within in this ode to love and self-acceptance.

2. TED TALK #2: LESSONS OF THE LABYRINTH
In this is a journey of self-discovery, Kristin Keyes uncovers how she learned to love herself and develop a deep connection with who she is by walking a labyrinth. She explores what a labyrinth is and how it is useful in helping to quiet the mind, guide healing, deepen self-knowledge and empower creativity. (17 minutes)
3. OUR MANY SELVES: DOING SOME INNER HOUSEWORK
In this article from Amy Byrd, she writes: “How does one become spiritually mature? What does that look like? Often the church presents the answers to these questions in finely combed-over doctrine, leadership positions, or how many programs you are involved in. These are good things, but they are not proper measures to experiencing God; growing in his grace, love, mercy, and justice; and being a receptacle of that for others. If we are not mindful, they can become the very things that distract us from doing the inner work we are called to.” Read the entire article here: View Now
4. SONG: THAT’S WHAT THE LONELY IS FOR
Originally released in 1994, this classic song by artist David Wilcox speaks powerfully to the Inner Journey. Lyrics are below. Listen to the song here: View Now
The depth of your dreams, the height of your wishes
The length of your vision to see
The hope of your heart is much bigger than this
For it's made out of what might be
Picture your hope, your heart's desire
As a castle that you must keep
In all of its splendor, it's drafty with lonely
This heart is too hard to heat
Chorus:
But when I get lonely, that's only a sign
Some room is empty that room is there by design
If I feel hollow, well, that's just my proof that there's more
For me to follow that's what the lonely is for
Is it a curse or a blessing? This palace of promise
When the empty chill makes you weep
With only the thin fire of romance to warm you
These halls are too tall and deep
But you can seal up the pain, build walls in the hallways
Close off a small room to live in
But those walls will remain and keep you there always
And you'll never know why you were given
Why you were given the lonely
Some room is empty, if you feel hollow that's
Just your proof that there's some more
You need to follow that's what the lonely is for
5. PRAYER FOR THE JOURNEY INWARD
Give me a candle of the Spirit, O God,
as I go down into the deep of my own being.
Show me the hidden things.
Take me down to the spring of my life,
and tell me my nature and my name.
Give me freedom to grow
so that I may become my true self –
the fulfillment of the seed
which You planted in me at my making.
Out of the deep I cry unto thee, O God.
AMEN
Prayer by George Appleton
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)
