Resetology

Our parents provide the closest human relationship we have to understand God as Father. This means that whether we had great (though imperfect), absent, or even abusive parents, the filter through which we view God is shaped by our experiences with them.

In this podcast, Amy Rinta explores this topic to help you develop a healthy perspective of your Heavenly Father. (This episode is a replay from our Fall 2024 Reset Retreat).

The most effective communication requires understanding both spoken words and unspoken messages. Just as a tuning fork helps adjust a musical instrument, we need to attune ourselves to what others are communicating on a deeper level.  By attuning to physical, emotional, verbal, behavioral, and relational cues, we can understand far more than what is being explicitly communicated. In this episode, we explore the importance of understanding the things that are left unsaid.

In this episode, we learn the importance of surrendering to God, even when it doesn't make sense. When we are guided by the Holy Spirit, we consistently lay down our lives for the sake of mission and people. It is a reflection of the life of Christ in us. Giving God our “yes” always yields a harvest if we don’t lose heart.

In this episode, Carissa shares a message on true and false prophets from the Sermon on the Mount. As Jesus nears the end of his sermon, he teaches us that our blind spots must be revealed in order to navigate the narrow road and discern true and false prophets. Only when we have clear spiritual vision can we see people through God’s eyes and discern the fruit of what they say and do.

A fictional character once told his son, "Never look back. The past is a wilderness of horrors." Scripture often advises the same, minus the whole "wilderness of horrors" part. That's because looking back can take our eyes off what God has for our future, not to mention the pitfalls our flesh can fall into: reliving past hurts, returning to harmful situations or relationships, etc. Yet there are also times in Scripture and in our walk with God when looking back is a good thing. It helps us remember the times we saw God's faithfulness in our lives, his comfort, care, and protection. In this roundtable podcast, Carissa, Jeff, and Julie will discuss both the good and bad parts of looking back.

The last chapter of Jonah has a lot to teach us about the intersection of our stubbornness and God's love. What should we do if we discover we have wrong beliefs about God? What if we discover that God and His love are bigger than we thought? The Book of Jonah expands our understanding of God and deepens our understanding of repentance.

The story of Jonah being swallowed by a huge fish can seem unbelievable to many people, and it's often used to criticize the Christian faith. How can a man survive for three days and nights inside the belly of a fish? And what’s up with the Ninevites repenting so quickly and so thoroughly? After the fish story, this seems like another logical barrier to taking Jonah seriously. But when we enter the polytheistic world of the Ninevites, it makes a little more sense. And after that, when we remember what Jesus said of their repentance, it not only makes more sense, but it's also a gut-check moment for Christians.

Jonah stands out among the prophets due to his questionable decisions despite being a prophet. In this message, Jeff and Carissa will explore Jonah's world to gain a better understanding of him. Then, we will use his story as a mirror to reflect on our own tendencies to make similar mistakes, going against the teachings of Christ's Sermon on the Mount. We will also explore what the first chapter of Jonah reveals about God's character and His sovereignty to accomplish His will in our lives.

In this episode, Jeff and Carissa discuss the ancient contemplative tradition of our faith and the three stages of our spiritual journey. Although these stages are not necessarily linear, the first stage often lasts for the first several years of our walk with God, and for some people, it can last their entire lives. The second stage is where we truly understand what contemplation means. It's a prayerful state of rest and passivity on our part when God bypasses our thoughts and emotions and speaks to us in deeper places than either of them can go. The final stage is a perfect union with God. To reach perfection on this side of the grave, one must be able to share Christ's pain and glory and endure a dark night of the soul and spirit.
