Over It
In this faithful season of newness, we continue to be examine various dimensions of our shared faith and practice with fresh sight. Last Sunday, our sister Stacie Kopczynski vulnerably invited us into her own winding story with the church, including the places of deep disillusionment and skepticism. She asks an important question that many are wrestling with themselves: how do we faithfully move forward when we feel “over” so much of what the Church has become, yet so much within us remains drawn to the heart of Christ and a longing to see it lived out in the places to which we have been called?
Quotations
"Religions should be understood as only the fingers that point to the moon, not the moon itself."
- Richard Rohr
Reflection
In light of all that Stacie shared, reflect upon your own experience with organized religion. We will continue this conversation at our next Home Group Gathering, coming up Sunday February 25 (contact Mike or sign up at the bottom of the page to receive a weekly update and location details)
How has the church brought beauty and goodness into my life?
How has the church pointed me to Jesus?
In what ways, in my most hopeful interpretation, can the church better my children?
In what ways can I imagine the church beyond a building or a Sunday morning service?
