    Sabbath Keeping

    August 22, 2020 - By Andree Koehler

    I have been pondering the notion of Sabbath for some time. Oh, not that I don’t understand it, but it’s like a jello mold … if you try to pick up the jello from the plate with your hands, what happens? It’s all jiggly and sluices through your fingers. Sabbath…

    Timed Timelessness

    September 3, 2019 - By Andree Koehler

    My devotional reading this morning was about recognizing that we all are destined for something similar, no matter what our beliefs: eventually, this physical shell will cease to function and the part of us that is ‘us’ will go on. Every week or two weeks, depending on schedules, there’s a…

    A (Potentially Lengthy) Missive on a Problem with Today’s Christian Church

    January 9, 2017 - By Andree Koehler

    In my opinion, I happen to attend a pretty fantastic church. It was founded on the premise that the purpose of Christendom is to love one another and help one another; the mission of the organization is to bring Christ’s love to the inner cities of the world. There are…

    Epiphany! or, Figurative, Literal, It Matters Not in the Course of Learning Stuff

    September 18, 2016 - By Andree Koehler

    ‘When Problems Arise’

    July 7, 2016 - By Andree Koehler

    Riding to and from the gym, it was a J Dilla day. For the uninitiated, James Dewitt Yancey was a powerhouse in the underground hip-hop scene in Detroit, who died way too young. I fell upon a mix of his stuff a few days back and the rhythmic drum beats…

    What #RevPit is and how I got there …Created by the author on MidjourneyAh, so. You don’t know what RevPit is and I hadn’t bothered to clarify. I took another detour from the WIP in this post to write about the pitching process for the event.

    Did you watch “The Residence”?Andre Braugher, from Town & Country Magazine, https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a46116433/andre-braugher-classical-theatre-harlem-donations/I was saddened to hear of Mr. Braugher’s death. But as I watched “The Residence”, I was curious about why one of the episodes was dedicated to him. I did a little digging and wrote a piece as a little interlude to all the […]

  • A Conversation about How The Police got it right (no, not them …) June 14, 2025
    This conversation is not about the “people in blue” or those who “patrol the streets in their black and whites”. I’m referring to the other Police. Postor from the “Ghost in the Machine” tour. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/390075-the-police-ghost-in-the-machine-tour-live-at-gateshead/images/posters Right, the band!

  • From Recon to cReative June 8, 2025
    This site isn’t new. But it is different. What once lived here as Reconnoiter Leadership has grown into something more layered, more inward-facing, more alive. It’s now called cReative Leadership — and it holds space for those who lead with vision, soul, reflection, and resilience. For those who move sideways before forward. For those who think deeply, […]
