The Quiet Reformation

July 2022 Micro-Teaching from Jeremiah 2

They did not ask, 'Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness...'

Tim Doering, Vision and Networking for netzer.org

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. - Acts 6:4 -

“Right after the events of 9/11, people were asking: ‘Why do people hate us?’ And I just thought, oh, that’s such an important moment. Can we just sit down, Americans, and ask this question? Can we really ponder this question? But, no, it didn’t happen. We asked it for a few weeks then of course we were told to go back to shopping and get America back to business.”

10 Minute Devotional from Tim Doering (Vision and Networking)

The idea of equipping is BOTH being adjusted, adapted, prepared, and supplied to fulfill a purpose for individuals, AND being united, aligned, knitted together to complete a purpose corporately.

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. - Acts 6:4 -

Netzer.org w/ Justin Ryan Boyer (producer)

“...Christian community was really only likely to be truly effective to the surrounding environs when we were small groups of people and we were living in deep relational structure with one another. In doing so, that was the model that had the maximum likelihood of being a powerful witness to those around us.”

“Young leaders often think, especially pastors, oh, it’s my preaching. If I just give these amazing messages, they’re going to come. Less and less is that the reality. Most people are never going to walk into your church building, there’s going to be no interest to go in. So all the more I think, that long obedience in the same direction, even in terms of mission, is you gotta be present, you gotta gain trust, and you can’t microwave that, you can’t just rush that.”

"…we decided that we want to be a community that pursues justice, and that diversity will be an outflow of that. Instead of just pursuing diversity for diversity’s sake, and there’s really good things that as leaders we have to be attentive to that, but when we start talking about justice, and we’re aware, each one of us as individuals, about how were are stewarding our influence or privilege or our access on behalf of other people (male/female, young/old, socio-economic class, racial diversity) there’s all sorts of ways that plays out, that is a core discipleship question every follower of Jesus needs to wrestle with."

Season 2 Conversations Begin April 19th!

Last season we spent our time laying theological foundations. We explored the New Testament picture of the Church: a unified church, collaborating together for the glory of Christ and for the furthering of his Kingdom. 

This season we have conversations with leaders from Philadelphia to San Francisco, seeing how the ancient roots of the gospel are pushing forth new growth in the church today. 

We go after practical and spiritual principles. We also hear how God is showing up every day in the lives of his people. 

Thanks to the generosity of the band Poor Bishop Hooper, we’re integrating the music of the Psalms, both in lament and in celebration. www.everypsalm.com/give

We’re continuing to pray for God to reform his church. That the body of Christ would grow deeply interconnected, forming trust-filled relationships capable of handling the tensions of different perspectives. Our prayer is that across the Church we would build one another up, speak the truth in love, and mature more fully into the image of Christ.

Tim Doering prays and reflects through the Scriptures...

Our hearts not only have the good seed of the Sower, but also thorns and thistles which can strangle the life God has for us.
