Here I Am, Abba

Week 6, Day 30 - Intentional

September 2, 2022 • Debra De Los Reyes • John 15:9–17

As we’ve studied scripture, we have learned about the deep abiding love God has for His son, Jesus. Then in turn Jesus’ deep abiding love for his disciples. His love for us. He calls us friends. He chose us. Even after seeing all of who we are - the mistakes, the rebellion, the beauty. He sees the Imago Dei in His sons and daughters! In His friends!

Friend of God

September 1, 2022 • Charles Williams • John 15:15–17

Today, I wanted to share some of the things Spirit shared with me in my journal during my time in the Lectio Divina practice.

Lectio Divina

August 31, 2022 • Charles Williams • John 15:15–17

Today, we are going to soak into scripture through the practice of Lectio Divina—one of my favorites! Lectio Divina, which is latin for Divine Reading, is a contemplative practice that guides us in reading over a passage of four times, each with a different intent: Lectio (which is a plain Reading), Meditatio (a meditative Reading), Oratio (a prayerful Reading), and Comtemplatio (a restful Reading).

Carry No Shame

August 30, 2022 • Joel Buckner

Can we just be honest and say that none of us really know what we are doing and that we kind of figure out life as we go? Even those of us that plan in our Type A and strategize we’re making decisions based on our current understanding. All of us are doing the best we can each day. And that right there is good, my friend. Have some grace for yourself and release the shame that you might carry.
