We are a church not just near campus, but we are a church for campus. What does that mean, and why are we uniquely shaped for this mission?

Does God care about how we carry our conversations? How can we start to enfold our conversations into the mission of God?

Redemptive Hospitality involves what some have called "the lost art of neighboring." What is that? And how can we learn this lost art?

Why is experience with God necessary for holistic Christian maturity? What are some helpful habits (or invitations) to experience the goodness of God? This is Part 2 of our conversation on holistic Christian maturity with licensed clinical counselors Amanda Hullinger & Bernadette McNamara, and spiritual formation guide, Elisabeth Badenhop.

The past 12 months have knocked us all to the ground. Allow the empty tomb to cause you, like Peter, to rise and run.

Palm Sunday, 2021.

When we envision our church in 10 years, one of the clearest things we see is a thousand or more conversations happening each week about how Jesus changes everything. And the way these conversations happen is mainly through redemptive hospitality. There are three components to redemptive hospitality, lost arts even. The lost art of conversation. The lost art of neighboring. And the lost art of table-setting. First we will talk about table-setting. Table-setting is just another way of saying "making room for others in our life." We intentionally and purposefully “set the table” not just for our family, or our church family, but especially for others.

Licensed clinical counselors Amanda Hullinger and Bernadette McNamara, gather with spiritual formation guide, Elisabeth Badenhop, to discuss holistic Christian maturity (the integration of head, heart, and habits). What does our body and our emotions have to do with maturity in Christ? And why is that important?

What place does habit have in the Christian life? And why does Hope think paying attention to our habits is a very important part of holistic Christian maturity?

What does it mean to be mature? Is it just thinking correct thoughts? Or is there more to being mature in Christ?
