The number 7 is linked to many things in the Bible – many good things. It is most often referred to as the number of completion, due mostly to the idea that God created the world in 7 days. There are whole studies dealing with the symbolism associated with the number, but I want to focus on […]

3 More Edgies’ Reflections
Continuing our first-hand look into the experiences of Edgies from Summer Edge 2014, we take a look at three more people whose lives were touched and eyes opened in very different ways. Katherine focuses on people, but more specifically, compassion, both in her approach to those God put in her path and God’s compassion towards […]
God At Work in Spain
Having been all over Europe as a missionary for the last 25+ years, it’s been interesting to see how people respond to God and the Gospel. While Europe is truly a small part of the globe, each country within the continent is very ,very diverse with varying histories. When the Iron Curtain fell in 1989, […]
Arianna at BIOLA University
A message from Arianna I thought you might want to hear one of the sessions I taught at Biola University this year. Hope you are blessed. It was a honor to speak at Biola Chapel this year and the responses that have come from this message continue to humble me and show the faithfulness of God through His work […]
Creativity, God and Edge
Why Edge Project? In the traditional evangelical churches around the country, the combining of faith and creativity is an oxymoron = two things that don’t go together. What does creativity have to do with faith? How is God glorified in our creativity? How do people see Jesus or the Gospel through our creative expressions? […]
Summer Edgies 2015
This weekend has been very busy for Edge 2015 with our Edge 2015 Summer Edgies meeting for the first time! Every year I stand in awe of the work God has done to hand pick each and every person who joins us on this adventure. With a new mix of people, new outlook, new goals, […]
Change is Good
This year is a big year for Edge Project. Well, every year is big, but our parent organization, TLC International is heading towards its 25th year! It’s hard to believe that so many years have passed and to look back over all the amazing changes the organization has taken – and in the case of […]
Nice to Meet You!
Getting to know someone takes time. And knowing someone in one context is just a fraction of who that person really is. To truly know someone, you have to spend a considerable amount of time with them and to see them in different settings. Edge Project is no different. We try to show […]
Terry Clark Interviews Arianna
Last week we mentioned that Arianna was interviewed by Christian singer Terry Clark on his radio show. Arianna takes us on an honest look at the turns our lives take and the difficult trials we endure along the way. As old friends, Arianna (Aryn) is free to open up with Terry and share parts of […]
Arianna @ BIOLA University
Many of you may not know that while Edge Project culminates to fruition every summer, the lead-up fully consumes the preceding months; Edge may be a three month program, but it’s a 9 month labor of love. Edge takes shape mostly on university campuses, getting the word out during cultural events, overseas program fairs, Christian […]
God is Speaking
I recently had a child ask me if I would do a particular thing if God “told you to.” The question came in response to a worship song he was singing along to in the back seat: Where you go, I’ll go, where you stay, I’ll stay… I will follow you. What they were asking […]
To Whom Much is Given…
“To whom much is given, much will be required.” This almost sounds like a threat, or a dare or a mom guilting her kids into doing something for her. But that’s not really the heart if God. God gives us things to enjoy and protect and multiply. God gives us beautiful things and then […]
EDGE is Faith
What is EDGE? EDGE is Faith. These questions we are pondering, the foundation of what EDGE is, are complex ideas. That’s part of what makes EDGE so adventurous; you can never really come to the bottom of possibilities when elements like art, culture, faith and community are at the helm. So faith…Believing what you don’t […]
EDGE is Culture
What is EDGE? EDGE is Culture. But what is culture? That’s actually a really good question. I’m going to have to think about it for a minute. Had to look it up, because really, there are lots of meanings to it. I’m choosing to embrace the anthropological definition for our context: […]
Edge is ART – Part 1
What is EDGE? Edge is art. What is “art” you may ask? Well we believe that art is any creative expression that conveys an emotion or experience that is valid, outside of its perceived beauty or monetary value; it is an expression, a very personal one. Art isn’t something that has been part of the […]
