1.12 [TEACHING] The Anatomy of Spiritual (R)Evolution (wk 1)
Tuesday Jan 14, 2020
Tuesday Jan 14, 2020
Jason Miller - It’s a new year, and we’re talking about growth. How do we keep going when the things that brought us this far can’t take us further? (John 20, Hebrews 5, and Philippians 1)
We close by reflecting on our own spiritual journeys. Here are some of the questions from the guided meditation.
Movement 1: What are some beliefs or experiences that marked the start of your spiritual journey?
Who are some people that impacted your journey at the time?
What were some of the emotions, positive or negative?
Movement 2: What did your faith look like as you grew and matured?
What are some beliefs that were really important to you back then?
What are some beliefs that have changed since then?
Movement 3: Was your faith ever challenged or broken?
What questions were you asking God, or about God?
Did your faith eventually go back to the way things were or are things forever different on this side?
Movement 4: What are some things we can learn from the people who have helped us along our spiritual journey?
Are there any habits or practices or postures that would be good for us to try?
What are some ways we help others on their journey?

1.5 [CONVERSATION] Jason Miller + Dave Armstrong
Sunday Jan 12, 2020
Sunday Jan 12, 2020
A conversation between Jason Miller and our friend Dave Armstrong, pastor of Redeemer Central Church in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Dave closes our gatherings with this benediction, an adaptation of the Prayer of St. Patrick:
May Christ protect you today
Against anger, against jealousy,
Against fear, against timidity,
So that His justice may flow through you
and you may share in its reward.
Christ with you,
Christ before you,
Christ behind you;
Christ within you,
Christ beneath you,
Christ above you;
Christ to the right of you, Christ to the left of you;
Christ in your lying,
Christ in your sitting,
Christ in your rising;
Christ in the heart of all who think of you,
Christ on the tongue of all who speak to you,
Christ in the eye of all who see you,
Christ in the ear of all who hear you.
And may grace and peace be with you
[all together]
And also with you.

Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Jason Miller - When you build an altar to recognize the gift you've received, the next question you might ask is: is this altar calling me to stay here, plant some roots, and resist the temptation to keep moving? Or is it compelling me to keep walking forward, trusting that the God who was good to me here can be good to me anywhere?
