Fall Study: How do Guardrails help?

Alive to God in Psalm 1

October 22, 2019

Every Fall, we sit in a passage of Scripture for two months as an extended community. Our desire is to practice how to be Alive to God in Scripture, where we encounter God and be transformed by Him. This year, we journey through Psalm 1. Our website and phone app have all the resources and details. Hope you join us on the Fall Study!

In this episode, we transition to the second step in the process: Think. We discuss four guardrails that are vital as we pursue the question: "What does this passage mean?" This stage can be intimidating, but we hope to show you how accessible it actually is.

This is Session 9 of our Fall Study: God and me, Actually, which is a 10-week expedition through Zechariah 3:1-7. In this final episode, Eric, Rachael, and David continue to explore the last two verses of our passage. The vision ends with an If-Then statement, showing us what it looks like to step into this new reality anchored in God as a "Rule-Breaker" and us as "chosen. In this episode, we focus on the “then” statement. If we walk in fidelity with God, privileges, empowerment and accessibility are offered to us. God invites us into the partnership and intimacy found in a transforming friendship. Hope you enjoy the conversation!

The vision ends with an If-Then statement, showing us what it looks like to step into this new reality. What does obedience look like when we grasp that God is a "Rule-Breaker" and we are "chosen"? What are the dreams and possibilities awaiting us when learn how to authentically follow Jesus? Hope you enjoy the conversation!

GOD AND ME, ACTUALLY: What God is Really Like

November 4, 2024

This is Session 7 of our Fall Study: God and me, Actually, which is a 10-week expedition through Zechariah 3:1-7. After spending a week exploring Our True Identity, Eric, Rachael, and David turn to the question of, "What is God really like?" To truly experience an authentic relationship with God, we not only need to grasp how God views us, but also embrace the truth of who God is. We all have views of God rooted in our upbringing, experience, and life circumstances, which are often distorted. We need to let God speak for Himself and for most of us, it will surprise us. What if God is different than what we expected? Our view of God is arguably the most important thing about us. Hope you enjoy the conversation!
