About Homeward
We're a Jesus-centered, contemplative spiritual community forming in Dallas–Fort Worth — built for the long journey home to God.
Our Vision
So much of modern faith has drifted toward either certainty or exit. Homeward offers a third way: a place to stay and keep growing. We take Jesus seriously and questions seriously. We draw on the deep well of Christian contemplative practice — the Desert Fathers and Mothers, the mystics, and modern voices who've kept that stream alive — not as an escape from real life, but as the pathway to becoming fully alive in it.
Our entry point is simple: doubt born of love, not grievance. The kind of questions that resolve toward a bigger faith, not out the door. Everyone is welcome, exactly as they are.
The Shape of Us
Practices That Form Us
These are the practices we learn together in a Circle — simple ways of paying attention to God that have formed followers of Jesus for centuries.
Reading Scripture slowly as a living word — listening for what God is saying now.
Resting in God's presence beneath our thoughts. Consent, not performance.
A daily review of where love was present — and where we missed it.
A short prayer carried on the breath, returning us to God through the day.
The Cloud of Unknowing — letting go of words and simply being with God.
Entering the Gospel stories with the imagination, meeting Jesus inside them.
Affirmation — meeting God through Scripture, image, and word.
Surrender — meeting God in the silence beyond words. Both flow to the same love.
Who's Behind This
Homeward began the way a lot of good things do — with a longing that wouldn't go away. A longing for a faith honest enough to hold real questions, and deep enough to actually change how we live. A place where you could belong before you had it all figured out.
"I'm not building this because I have the answers. I'm building it because I want to keep journeying toward God — and I don't want to do it alone."
Homeward is being formed prayerfully and in community, with the guidance of trusted mentors and spiritual directors in the contemplative tradition. If you'd like to know more about the people and thinking behind it, reach out — we'd love to talk.
This Fall in DFW
Our first Circles begin in October. If something in you is leaning in, we'd love to hear from you.
