Simplicity Mid-Week 2 - Your Closet

The best place to start your minimalism journey is your closet. But how do you start and what questions should you be asking?

Practicing Simplicity - An Abundance of Possessions

Billions are spent every year to make us believe that "more is more" and that "life consists in an abundance of possessions." But this stands in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus, and we have to decide which voice we are going to believe. 

Simplicity Mid-week 1 - Practice His Presence

The mid-week episodes are designed to explore the practical application of simplicity in our lives. But as we begin our minimalism journey, we want to start by catching the big picture of WHY we're seeking minimalism and simplicity. It's not to save money, lessen our stress, or curate our homes. It's to open up our lives, our schedules, our hearts, and our attention to the presence of God with us. 

Practicing Simplicity - What is Simplicity?

As we embark on a new series, we have to start by answering the question: what is simplicity? Where do we see this in the life of Jesus and followers of Jesus throughout the millennia? And what might it look like in our lives today? 

Witness -The Cost and Power of Revival

What would it look like to see revival in the western world? And what is the cost of ushering it in? 

Witness - The Inevitability of Rejection

One of the primary fears that keeps us from witnessing to others is our fear of rejection. But in order to follow Jesus we must face and overcome this fear, for the sake of others. 

Witness - Share

The last of the of 5 Habits of Highly Missional People is to share their faith with others. But what attitude should we have toward this crucial step? How do we actually go about sharing?

Witness - Learn (Gospel Fluency)

In reality, most of us don't feel equipped to share our faith. But as we bless, listen, and eat with others, opportunities will arise for us share Jesus and the Gospel. This is ultimately what witnesses do. So how can we grow in our ability to speak Jesus "fluently" into the stuff of everyday life, in a way that's natural, conversational, and effective? 

Witness - Bless

We want to end our series by examining “5 habits of highly missional people.” What does it look like for us to effectively reconnect others to God? How have past methods left us (and others) feeling alienated, and how can we engage in life-giving practices moving forward?

Witness - Revival

As we finish out our study of the cultural moment that we live, we have to ask; what is the future of the western world? Will it become a secular wasteland? Is Post-Christianity a one way street? Or do we have a hope for a better tomorrow in which renewal and revival sweep the western world?
