Creating intentional life-giving rhythms
For most of us, the past several years have been filled with intense disruption, disorientation, perhaps anxiety and despair. You may find your "typical" patterns of work, home, and relational life upended, with no sense of what the future will look like. Yet here, in the disruption, we are given an incredible opportunity to re-orient ourselves towards creating new structures for holistic flourishing. As we continue to ask ourselves, "Who we are becoming?" during this challenging season, this guided 4-week journey is intentionally designed to:
- Process the current season of pain,
- Discern what matters most to God,
- Practice stillness, deepening the inner life of faith, and
- Affirm the importance of community in hearing and responding to God's voice.
The journey is intended to be done in partnership with another, so find a friend or family member to enroll with you!
The rhythms consist of the following components:
- Weekly hour-long sessions for stimulating theological training and skillful orientation to introduce each week's theme.
- Daily "Listening Book" exercises to facilitate hearing God in the midst of hectic days incorporating a variety of spiritual practices.
- 3x/wk 25-minute times of guided stillness and prayer.
- Weekly 45-min listening conversation with a spiritual companion. (Optional for Mini-Trellis)
The Calling of Hope
LIVE: April 11 - 24, 2021
Sometimes we forget what hope feels like and have trouble knowing what it even looks like in our day-to-day existence. Why does it often feel like hope is barely operating in our lives? Hope from a biblical perspective is not a vague optimistic feeling, and certainly not the luxury of the privileged, but it is the vibrant, audacious calling of every Christian. There is One who calls to us and works in us continually to revive hope, and this animating hope emerges not because we can always see reasons for it with our own eyes, but because of the unwavering faithfulness of our Caller in all circumstances.
This abbreviated 2-week journey focuses on growing in the Calling of Hope that is the joy of every Christian’s inheritance.
