All of life begins in affection. The conception of a baby begins in the affection of a man and woman. In creation, life begins in affection. The Father looked upon his creation and saw that it was good. It is not an easy thing for a parent to turn off affection for a baby. The framework of our life reorients around the love of God when we experience his affection for us. Join Joshua Hoffert as he dives into the affection of the Father.

The invitation of the Christian life is to gaze in wonder at the beauty of the Father. We, however, default to fear rather than the invitation of love. It permeates our culture and our churches. What might it look like if we actually recognized the God of compassion that is so tenderly demonstrated in the life of Christ?

Even the healthiest families still have problems. No parent is perfect. What we learn in our family we practice later in life. Our family of origin goes a long way to inform who we become. 

When I am hurt how do I come back to myself? Some of us have those skills and some of us don't. Jesus actually taught his disciples how to recover themselves. You can only learn those things in the context of community. When we wrestle with wounds of abandonment we tend to go into enemy. When someone has hurt me, I turn them in to an enemy. But Jesus gave us a different way.

Tune in as Joshua Hoffert brings the way of Jesus to our responses to life's difficult moments.

Moments with God become less about us and more about Him. When God comes to us He reveals Himself, it is about Him. The central event of Scripture is the revelation of God. God does the saving, speaking and revealing. Our responsibilty is to respond to Him. And oh, how great that response is. And oh, how lovely He reveals Himself to be. And oh, how majestic He becomes to us.

Christianity is not just a worldview that you adopt one day because conveniently it looks good to you. Its not like your "Get Out of Jail Free" card. You don't just join this sect of people and you won't go to hell anymore. Here's the card. Just hold on to it until the end.

Christianity's not even really a religion. It's not a codified set of doctrines and beliefs that dictate how you live the course of your life in this world. I derive a whole new worldview, not because I decide to move from this worldview to that worldview, but because the Father came and planted Himself in me.

It started with the testimony amongst twelve people. Then it proliferated and proliferated one person to another, then to another and another. The radical spread in the first 400 years of Christianity was person to person. It was one person's redemption, to another person's redemption, to another person's redemption.

The story of Christianity is God revealing himself. And the nature of revelation is that it creates internal pressure that's uncomfortable. It lodges something deep within you that you will need to work out. It creates pressure against all the ways that you see the world and yourself. This pressure builds up and it mounts and it can drive you absolutely crazy. 

But that's the whole point because it won't let you go. The Father won't let you go.

Join Joshua Hoffert as he talks about how Christianity is an encounter that changes everything.

Do you know Christ or do you just know how to act like a Christian? There is a vast chasm between the two. Any citizen of a western country can sneeze and fulfill 7 of the 10 commandments. But rule following does not a mature Christian make. We can have a form of godliness but deny the desire of God to powerfully encounter his people. If we do this then we can just say words and salvation happens. The plague of humanity is forgetting who God is. God desires to encounter his people and the ways he does this are multifaceted. The path to true healing is the path of encounter. Tune in as Josh dives deep and shows how the path of Christianity is a path of encountering the heart of God and being forever transformed.
