Through the Disciples' Eyes: Calling
The Practice Church Podcast
Have you ever considered how fascinating the disciples are as characters in the Gospels? We often read these stories with our focus on Jesus, but how often do we pay attention to the disciples’ perspective? Throughout the Gospel narratives, the people who followed Jesus are ‘representative characters.’ In so many ways, they stand in for us as we try to understand and be formed by the ministry and presence of Jesus. In this series, we will contemplate six stories from the Gospels through the eyes of the disciples. How did they understand the teaching and ministry of Jesus? How did they...

Walking in the Psalms: Psalm 74
The Practice Church Podcast
Eugene Peterson wrote, “Most Christians for most of the Christian centuries have learned to pray by praying the Psalms. The Hebrews, with several centuries of a head start on us in matters of prayer and worship, provided us with this prayer book that gives us a language adequate for responding to the God who speaks to us.” In this series, we will consider how the Psalms teach us to worship and pray. The Psalms are a rich array of reflections on God’s character, power, love, and activity in the world. They are also reflections of what it means for us to know, trust, and follow God....

Gifted for the Kingdom: The 5-Fold Ministry
The Practice Church Podcast
Paul encouraged the Christians in Corinth by writing, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-7) In this series, we will be exploring how each of us are gifted to serve in God’s kingdom.

info_outlineIn our culture, we are being shaped by our political engagement. We are tempted to find our identity in our political affiliation. We view those on the other side with contempt. We form opinions based on memes and talking heads rather than prayer and discernment. We give in to the way of power and control rather than the Christlike way of surrender and self-emptying love. But what if there is another way? This week, Jason Hitchcock helped us explore the counter-formational practice of community.
(A note about the practice: In this service, our practice was a discerning conversation about who we hope to be as a community. Included in the podcast is the framework for our practice and what we shared as a community.)
