What does it look like to connect with others and successfully engage the lost in a COVID 19 world? 

We all know that we're supposed to share the Gospel with others, but how did Jesus do it and how can we grow in this crucial practice? 

The mid-week podcast is devoted to helping our community navigate and even flourish in this unique season of COVID-19. Join us this week as we take on the topic of fear.  

Two of the practices that Jesus talked about most were prayer and fasting. But too often we view fasting as irrelevant and prayer as dull obligation. What is the role or purpose of these practices and how can we grow in them in the midst of this moment of global uncertainty? 

As the corona virus situation continues to unfold, we are making a mid-week podcast available for the sole purpose of helping our community navigate this unprecedented moment. 

Each one of us is becoming someone over time. Are we becoming more like Jesus or less like Jesus? Are we experiencing the life that Jesus intended? One the biggest difference makers is whether or not we are walking in God's grace. Those who misunderstand God's grace often stagnate in their discipleship, and those with an accurate understanding are often propelled into greater depths of discipleship and transformation than they ever thought possible. 

When Jesus calls his disciples, he calls them to deny themselves, pick up their cross, and follow him. But why is this call so important and how do we engage in it as a discipline or practice?

Perhaps the most basic spiritual discipline of our tradition is reading the Bible. But what role did Scripture play in the life of Jesus? And why is it so important that we take time each day to read the words they contains? 

"Suffering well" typically doesn't make the list of classically defined spiritual disciplines. But suffering is the great divider of discipleship, forcing us either deeper into the reality of God or running the other way. Jesus and the Scriptures make it clear that we will suffer in this life, but what does it mean to suffer well? What can we learn from Jesus, "the man of suffering"?

As Jesus begins his ministry, he calls disciples or apprentices to come form a community around him. By what's the significance of this community? Why should we seek it out? And what obstacles to we have to overcome along the way?
