Prove It: Be It (Greg @ Field)

Your life is evidence of something. Just what is the question. Jesus’ life was pretty convincing evidence to a lot of people in his time that God was real and afoot in their world. What about yours? Does your life, without all your words and layers of action, say that God is afoot in the world? It can and that doesn’t mean being perfect, churchy, holier-than-thou or boring. It does mean you’ve just become a pretty awesome Christmas present – kinda like Jesus.

Prove It: Do It Little (Dawn @ Field)

The prophet Isaiah poetically anticipates the laying out of the red carpet for the coming King.  You know, every valley shall be raised up and every mountain made low, the rough ground made level and the rough places a plain.  But then the King comes...and goes...and in a lot of ways nothing looks or feels all that differently.  And I don't think we expect a constant stream of signs and wonders but we wouldn't mind if God could throw us a bone now and then!  But what if God is doing exactly that?  What if we're actually surrounded by signs...and what if we (yeah, you and I) are actually one of God's wonders?

Revolution: more than mine (Greg @ Field)

You’ve known all along that it isn’t all about you, it isn’t even all about us, our country or - for that matter - about human beings. The universe is a totality and has to be taken that way. Why doesn’t anybody get that? Believe it or not, you aren’t alone on this. God even gets it. Always has. It’s one of the Big Guys main points in the Bible. It’s about time we not only get God’s point, but start seeing how and why this makes so much sense. It’s a matter of faith. It’s a revolution that needs to happen.

Revolution: stranger than strong (Peter @ Field)

Why is it that all the power seems to belong to those with the most money, the biggest weapons or the most "connected" friends?  Do you ever wonder what the world would look like if the decision makers didn't have to be rich or carry the biggest stick?  Your gut tells you the system is broken but you wonder if thinking so means you must be crazy.  Well you're not alone because God agrees that real power comes from somewhere completely different.  It has to. Let's spend some time hearing how God's vision and your gut are really in tune.

Revolution: better than bigger (Greg @ Field)

Along with “Mama”, “Dada” and “No” most of us learned to say “More” as one of our first words and we haven’t quit saying, wanting or trying to have it ever since. That’s a problem because we are running out of more and there isn’t room for bigger. “Bigger is better” thinking is killing us and destroying our world. You know it’s got to change and guess what, God does too! In fact, 1000’s of years ago God put the clues to what’s “Better than bigger” in the Bible for us to discover. Let’s take a look.

Revolution: fantastic not fanatic (Dawn @ Field)

When you read the paper and watch the news, do you get the impression that there are pretty much two options when it comes to religion: you can be a fundamentalist which is taken to be rigid and judgmental…or you can be spiritual which is taken to be anything and everything goes.  Are you as tired of this false dichotomy as I am?  I think there’s another way and I think we should talk about it!

Life's a pain and then you: Train (Peter @ Longfellow)

It happens all the time and usually comes out of nowhere.  Long before the *stuff* ever hits the fan, wouldn't we be smart to put some energy into getting ready for it?  Preparing is a big part of enduring, and maybe even a bigger part of thriving. So rather than being hit by one, let ‘train’ refer to how you live so that you can be up for the challenge God’s got in mind for you.

Life's a pain and then you: Deal (Greg @ Field)

There’s a “pity party” on one side and a “get over it” message on the other. Neither help too much. But no matter who’s at fault, nor how deep the wound, we each have to deal with what life’s thrown at us and build a future. God’s got a big stake in that. And God has a lot more than sympathy and kicks in the butt for us. So let’s get creative and discover what’s next.
