What does is look like for the church to be a positive disruption for good. If it isn't at all possible for the church to find unity theologically is there ways we could partner socially to disrupt industry or cultural norms in a positive way.

Fruitfulness takes longer. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A branch does not wake up, check its quarterly fruit targets and push harder. It remains connected to the life of the vine. Fruit comes from that living connection. Productivity depends heavily on capacity. Time, energy, skill, health, money, opportunity. Fruitfulness depends on Christ working through a life that remains in him.
Understanding our Identity before engaging in our Activity. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dallas Willard described character as acquired essence. In a teaching on character transformation he said, “It is your identity as shaped by your experiences, and especially your choices, and interaction with other people.” That is useful because identity is both gift and formation. We receive our deepest identity in Christ, and then our habits, choices and relationships shape the kind of person we are becoming.
Formation in Concealment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes God does his best work beyond the view count. That is difficult for a pastor, author, communicator, or anyone who makes things. We want the work to matter. We would also quite like evidence that it matters, preferably before dinner. But spiritual formation does not ask whether the moment performed well. It asks whether we became more like Jesus. Maybe the holiest thing you do this week will never be posted. Good. Let it belong to God.
Joybringer. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've been telling people I want to be a joybringer. What does it look like to practice joy when you don't feel it?!
Faith and Fear. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do faith and fear sit at opposite ends of the spectrum. When Jesus is away from what is perceived safety where is the safest place for us to be?!
