Spiritual Formation
I’m starting to notice pockets of genuine spiritual formation emerging within our little community. Things like…
…true discipleship. No checklists, choreographed meetings or baseball diamond flow charts. Instead, people sharing the journey, God centered exchanges and authentic life change.

Tony Jones, Emergent USA Co-ordinator, posts his lecture notes from a recent forum he participated in at Wheaton.

Today we kicked off a new series and new short film at theStory.
To watch the film, go here.
The concept for the film grew out of these ideas:

*When […]

This past week at theStory we combined some borrowed and homemade ideas and designed a gathering that took the participants on a ride through the scriptures – ten readings, ten responses – following the story of Jesus through the Old Testament leading up to his arrival on planet earth as recorded in the New Testament.
