George Miley introduces the major themes of his new (as-yet-unpublished) book, Leaders Following.

In this teaching, Thomas Cogdell addresses the concern that work towards Christian unity could produce a "false unity." What is true unity? False unity? How do we rightly respond to those whom we disagree with, to the extent that we question whether or not they are "real Christians"?

This is the first in what is anticipated to be a series of four teachings on the topic of Boundaries of Reconciliation. It was given at Christ the Reconciler during the retreat on 10 September 2022.

When the Cogdells stumbled into the Antioch Network gathering in Herrnhut Germany in 2008, they were amazed to find people talking about Catholic - Protestant reconciliation! One of them was Paul Miller, a YWAM missionary working with Catholics in France. He gave a remarkable talk on reconciliation for the purpose of Evangelical mission, in a culturally-Catholic country.

Recorded on 11 June 2008.

The first time Mark Kinzer visited CTR, we were hoping to get him interested in Wittenberg 2017. But he mostly wanted to talk about our community. When he came a second time, after Wittenberg 2017 had completed, he gave this teaching on covenant community and Israel. Worth re-listening in these days, when we are considering “all-in” community commitments at CTR.

Teaching given on February 10, 2018 at CTR.

In June 2019, Amy was asked to be the keynote speaker for an Antioch Network gathering in Istanbul. She gave three talks, all on the subject of Friendship with God. The second talk was about Moses. It ends with Phillip Owens singing Andrew Peterson’s song Rise Up.

We conclude the Foundations of Community with this, the 10th teaching of our series. It also completes the second half of the series, which focuses on the commitments to action. The fifth and final commitment is to Work.

Phillip Owens imparts to us his high value and immense capacity for work, explaining that it comes from God and is for God. Thomas wraps up by grounding our understanding of work in Jesus' report to his Father, John 17:4.

Teaching recorded for the retreat at Christ the Reconciler on 10 May 2022.

As we observe the season of Advent, waiting and watching for the coming of Jesus, let us remember that Dan Davis’ last sermon at Hope Chapel was about the Second Coming. He had never taught on the return of Christ, in all the thousands of sermons he preached there. On September 8, 2019, he preached a beautiful sermon about the hope we have in the return of the Lord in glory. Our own Sandi Pedrotti closed the sermon with a meditation and invitation. Come, Lord Jesus!

During a small Antioch Network meeting in Berlin, Jayson Knox was asked to address the topic of apostolically-gifted leaders. The purpose of the gathering was to explore the idea of "Antioch Network Europe" - which has since become a reality!

Teaching given on 16 November 2011.

The last in a series on Spiritual Formation given at Christ Church Anglican in Phoenix. This teaching was from August 28, 2011.

The end of Boundaries of Reconciliation #1, True & False Unity, was the ruling of the Jerusalem Council on the controversy of Gentiles becoming followers of Jesus. This second teaching in the series picks up there by addressing the gift of apostles to the church; the role of apostolic authorities in safeguarding unity, and the beauty of healthy mutual submission.

At the end of the teaching, Amy introduces the word "apostolate" and the concept of Christ the Reconciler as an apostolate, whose leaders carry apostolic authority for the community, but are also submitted to apostolic authority in their own traditions.

Teaching given at a Christ the Reconciler retreat on 12 November 2022.
