Welcome to The Lantern and the Pen, the official blog for the Sarasota House of Prayer.

We believe that, as followers of Christ, we have unique perspectives that can greatly aid our understanding of the things that are currently happening in the world around us. The aim of this blog is to provide a platform for our spiritual family to share their thoughts, analysis, and commentary on a wide range of subjects. Here, you will find articles that explore how our Christ-centered faith and our biblical worldview intersect with our knowledge on various topics—from geopolitics to art to history.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We at the Sarasota House of Prayer are excited about what the future holds, and are equally delighted for the opportunity to share our writing with the rest of the world.

Soli Deo Gloria! (“Glory to God alone!”)
