Square 1 - Back To Square 1 With Stuff

Back to Square 1 with stuff. Here’s a complicated question: What role do possessions play in your life? Here’s another: What role should possessions play in your life? Maybe the answers are so hard because they’re the wrong questions. Maybe this is a dead end in our lives that we need to work our way backwards from. Back at square 1 we can discover better questions. That won’t be easy either, but together we can take a look. Thanks for being part of the wrestling match with us

Back to Square 1 with US. Somewhere things got all screwed up. We human beings are one species in a big, lonely universe full of challenges, but we’ve worked our way into a deadend of being divided and opposed. Doesn’t make sense when you step back and think about it. We need each other. So whether you’re thinking global conflict, domestic politics, or the tension in your own office or home there is unlearning to do so we can get back to square one and relearn how to live with one another.

Square 1 - Back To Square 1 With God

The challenge of a maze is that when you get stuck you can’t just push on, you have to go back to where you turned wrong and start fresh. That describes our situation with God pretty well. Human beings got a few inklings of what God was like from what they could understand and ran with it. Now we’re in a corner with an image of God that just doesn’t work or make much sense. It’s time to back up to square one and explore again.

We've snipped and clipped pieces of the message from Greg Meyer and Heidi Esposito that was woven throughout our Easter gathering and we stitched them together into a podcast to give a little sense of the wonder and fun that was going on with Jacob's Well this year and to prod you a little bit to reflect and own who you are and what you do!

April 9 – So what happens when you would rather be elsewhere doing something else with someone else? It happens often to each of us. Circumstances aren’t ideal, they aren’t what we planned or expected, we wish things could be different. So what do we do and what would it look like to show up anyway? It’s worth thinking about because it might be the way you’ll spend the majority of your life.

Show Up - The Power of Being ALL There (Part 2) It’s not because people are lazy that they don’t show up with their whole selves. They avoid it because that real, raw person inside is fragile and sensitive. We all know what it’s like to risk something in public just to be criticized, judged or laughed at. Who wants that? How can we develop the strength to show up even when we know we might be somebody’s lunch? Let’s talk about how we can build up our worthiness to stand up to the fears that try to undermine it.
