The theme for February is Embodying Resilience. On Sunday, “Faith That Faces Giants: Courage for Our Time,” will be presented by Bobbie Colt.
Inspired by 1 Samuel 17: Living in the Champion’s victory means walking through life with steady confidence that love, justice, and hope ultimately prevail.
This confidence is grounded in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, through which fear, sin, and even death no longer have the final word, and in the enduring power of transformative love made visible through faithful living and moral courage. We do not strive to earn our worth or fight for victory; instead, we live from a victory already revealed in love’s triumph.
The invitation is to rest in this reality and allow it to shape our minds, hearts, and actions as we respond faithfully to personal struggles, communal challenges, and the needs of the wider world.
Colt is a U.S. Army veteran with more than 30 years of leadership experience in counseling, training, and organizational management. She holds a BA degree in Political Science with a minor in Criminal Justice and has completed a MA in Ministry with a concentration in Formational Leadership through Lancaster Bible College’s Online Global Program. As a Unitarian Universalist Christian, Bobbie is committed to continued theological education and plans to begin a master’s degree in Unitarian Universalist Religious Studies at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Summer 2026.
Colt’s ministry is grounded in pastoral care, rites of passage, and congregational leadership. Bobbie is devoted to serving as a compassionate pastoral care team leader and worship leader, offering presence, care, and spiritual guidance to individuals and to the wider community. Outside of ministry, She finds joy and balance in singing, reading, and collecting diecast cars.
