To Be a Beginning

This visual liturgy was created during an earlier season of ministry, when Joey was still very young. It grew out of a simple desire: to offer something gentle, honest, and hopeful in a moment when many people were carrying grief, uncertainty, and exhaustion.

The prayer is adapted from “Help Me to Believe in Beginnings” by Ted Loder, and it holds space for what it means to trust that new life is still possible—even when the world feels fragile. Joey’s voice anchors the prayer in wonder and sincerity, reminding us that faith is often carried not by certainty, but by attention and love.

This piece was offered freely to congregations and communities as a visual prayer—an invitation to pause, breathe, and receive a blessing. It remains one of the most meaningful projects we’ve shared together.
