Practicing Presence

In today's episode of Practicing Presence, our spiritual formation podcast, we continue working through Henri Nouwen's book "Making All Things New" by talking about the deeds of Jesus. And more specifically, talking about the things that Jesus does, that we are also supposed to do. Happy Listening!

Our Identity:

WellHouse Church is a church seeking to reimagine what the church is. Too many people have been hurt by a church in their past, because church has become something that it was never meant to be: an event or building that we attend.

At WellHouse, we believe that the people of God are the church and that the love of God should be experienced through the people of God. So, WellHouse has returned to a New Testament expression of our faith by meeting in homes and dedicating ourselves to: the teaching of the scriptures, the fellowship of the believers, the breaking of bread together, and praying together for one another. We are focused on being a genuine expression of Christian hospitality and service to our community and the people of our community.

At WellHouse we want to be a place where people can Be Real, Be Relational, and Be Restored. As our leadership was dreaming up this vision, we looked at Scripture and saw that the earliest expressions of the church met in homes and it was rare that all of the believers were together. Today, most churches have found themselves spending a large portion of their budget on buildings that they rarely use. Not WellHouse. We want to keep our overhead low so we can spend our money on the things that matter, being the hands and feet of Jesus. So, we meet in the homes of our members for the majority of our meetings. Once per month, we all come together at a rented facility to devote our selves together as the whole church for the purpose of worshipping God together.

The Kingdom of God is a huge part of the story of the bible, our faith, and the message of Jesus. In fact, the Gospel is the "Good news of the Kingdom of God." But how do we live this out? What do we do with this? All of these questions are more get answered in this episode of Practicing Presence as they relate to your own spiritual formation. Happy Listening!

In today's episode of Practicing Presence Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss being unfilled and yet busy and how that impacts our spiritual formation from Henri Nouwen's book "Making All Things New." Happy Listening!

On Practicing Presence we talk exclusively about spiritual formation. But have you ever considered why we need spiritual formation and spiritual practices in our lives? In this episode Pastor Cullen and Clayton begin reviewing Henri Nouwen's book "Making all things new" and talking about why we need spiritual disciplines in our lives. Happy Listening!

For the last several weeks we have been talking about all of the categories of life that impact our own spiritual health and formation. These categories get used to think about writing a rule of life. But how do you actually write a rule of life? Well in today's episode of Practicing Presence Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss the ins and outs of writing a rule of life. Happy Listening!

Have you ever heard someone say, "Don't ruin your witness?" As a kid I remember hearing that phrase all the time. However, it wasnt always used in the appropriate context. I always heard it when it came to sins; dont do things that would make you look bad as a Christian. Never did I hear it in the affirmative; make sure that you do the thing that you are supposed to do or you will ruin your witness. Witness and mission are hugely important things to us as Christians, but on this episode of Practicing Presence, Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss it in an unusual way. Happy Listening!

We spend so much of our lives at work. Shouldn't work be viewed as something spiritual rather than being mutually exclusive from our experiences of the divine? In this episode of Practicing Presence, Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss work, the ethic of work, the balance of work, and much much more as it pertains to work and your own personal spiritual formation.

Does God actually even care about how you choose to spend your money? The answer to this question is a resounding yes. You can tell a lot about a person based upon how they spend their money. So, in todays episode of Practicing Presence Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss money within the context of a Rule of Life for our spiritual formation. Happy Listening!

When I was growing up I remember thinking that Christians couldn't have fun. I remember thinking that God somehow wanted me to be boring and not really do anything fun or enjoyable for the fear of sinning. But in this episode of Practicing Presence Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss how enjoyment enriches our spiritual formation and delights God. Happy Listening!

If you are like most in our community, you grew up thinking about your physical body as something largely disconnected from your spiritual existence. But that just simply is not the case. God made us, each and every one of us, and each and every part within each one of us, including the body. So on today's episode of the Practicing Presence podcast we continue talking about Rule of lIfe but looking at taking care of our bodies as a part of our spiritual formation. Happy Listening!
