Our Bodies Play an important roll in worship. Join the team as we talk about the ways they do. We did this podcast live a few weeks ago. Join us every Thursday afternoon on facebook. And feel free to ask some questions! Like how in the world did Josh get into a class called "Advanced P.E.?"

Part one is read Mark 4:21-41

Part two is to practice Lectio Divina on Psalm 77:10-20

Part three is to record what you took away from today’s practice

Part four is to go to the “Serve with us” page on

How do we adjust to a new way of living with people? Or how do we live with our families again even though we are in a new phase of life? What if we began to live like every moment and simple interaction is filled with holiness. Join the team (minus Josh who is on vacation) today as they talk about the Theology of holiness in each moment and how that can play out into very practical ways of learning to love the people God has put you right in front of you.

None of us were prepared for the way COVID-19 threw our worlds into disarray so abruptly. At times it feels like we are all just floating aimlessly not knowing how to get back into a rhythm that feels slightly normal. Like all of you, the Ekklesia staff felt this and had to try to adjust to this new reality and what they found was that creating a routine was an incredible way to create normalcy in our life. During the podcast the crew chat about some strategies and resources to implement into your life as a means to create a rhythm, that will not only benefit you you in our present crisis but long after this historical moment passes.

The crew begins to unveil what is next for Ekklesia in the midst of the new reality in which we all now find ourselves, we talk about the process of how we got here and what that means for us to be a community going forward.

The Ekklesia Staff is in isolation because a couple of them were exposed to the Corona Virus last week. So we all hopped on video chat and thought today would be a great time to talk about how to be calm in the storm when chaos is occurring. Our world is feeling especially frightening right now and we just wanted to address what’s going on and talk a bit about taking wise precautions, how to care for people during times of fear or disaster, and what it looks like to put our hope in Jesus when it’s tempting to freak out.

There is so much happening subconsciously when we are interacting with each other in online spaces. Have you spent time thinking about what it is doing to you? The crew shows us what is happening as we use social media to meet very basic human desires but, also, how that could have some adverse affects. The challenge this week: become mindful of why you are using social media in the way that you are.
