Trail Markers

As Pathfinder celebrates its 175th anniversary year, we’ll take a careful look at what got us to this milestone. What we’ll see is that for churches and people alike, it’s not that hard to know what’s faithful, but doing it is another matter. 

Persist in Grace

Feb 15, 2026

Conventional wisdom says it’s a bad idea to change horses in midstream, but when it comes to Grace, the very thing that all Christians acknowledge as the means for our salvation, we seem to struggle to live by it. Unfortunately, too many churches, seeing the reality of sin in the world, abandon grace and reach for a different means to motivate and grow people. How can we both cling to grace AND grow to be more like Jesus?

Jan 25, 2026

If we see the whole point of life as getting to heaven, then what point is there to doing anything but evangelizing and baptizing people? Why would churches ever pay attention to the real-life needs of the people or the world around them? Was it just proof of his power? Was it bait to reel people in? Or, if the cross was the point of Jesus’s mission, then what do we make of all the other stuff he did?

Live by the Scriptures

Jan 11, 2026

The world has changed a lot since Jesus, but especially in the last 100 years! The rate of change is now exponential, leaving many once sacred societal structures in the dust. So, what role do 2,000-year-old plus scriptures play in a world as modern as ours?

Know Your Calling

Jan 4, 2026

While trying to live out your purpose, you can easily get lost in it. That’s the story of numerous organizations and people; they start out with a clear reason for existing, but they lose sight of it and fail to keep the main thing, the main thing.
