 Storms are a striking demonstration of energy in nature. They combine kinetic energy from wind, thermal energy from the atmosphere, and electrical energy from lightning. During the recent Pathfinder Camporee, a storm threatened to cut short a time of fellowship and worship. The storm, however, became an opportunity to experience God’s grace as leaders made quick adjustments, allowing worship to continue despite the turmoil. This moment reminds us of how storms—both literal and spiritual—manifest powerful energy in our lives. Just as nature’s energy can be overwhelming, the internal storms we face in life can feel all-consuming. In moments of uncertainty, we might feel out of control, much like the disciples in Mark 4:37-39 when their boat was caught in a storm. As they panicked, Jesus rose and commanded the wind and sea, “Quiet! Be still!” Immediately, the storm calmed. This miracle shows that Jesus has the power not only to calm physical storms but also to bring peace to the storms w
