Sunday, January 29, 2023. Have you been told that God must separate Themself from you because of your sin? Or that you needed to hide some significant part of yourself because it was unacceptable to God? That breaks attachment, and makes us feel like we must always be worried if our relationship with God is "good." The good news, though, is God's love for us truly is conditional. And that when Jesus asks us to rest, it's with no strings attached. 

Sunday, January 22, 2023. It's far to easy to intellectualize our faith to the point where we lose all sense of magic or mystery. What it would be like to, like Moses, notice a burning bush and actually turn aside to pay attention to it. And believe that God may turn Their attention to us as well.

Pastor Anthony compares the story of the Magi with 4 key questions from the book "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman.

Where in your life or your work are you currently pursuing comfort, when what's called for is a little discomfort?

In what ways have you yet to accept the fact that you are who you are, not the person you think you ought to be?

In which areas of life are you still holding back until you feel like you know what you're doing?

How would you spend your days differently if you didn't care so much about seeing your actions reach fruition?

Don't confuse maturity with cynicism. 

Pastors Tonetta Landis-Aina and Anthony Parrott discuss the implications of Paul Nixon's book Multi. We talk a bit about our own experience with multi-spaces, the challenges we've faced, and why we think it's all worth it. 

If you want to be part of discussions like these, you can jump-in month-by-month with our Learning Cohort.
