We’ll delve into the importance of spiritual practices in resisting cultural pressures and being formed by Christ. We'll discuss practices such as Sabbath, solitude, and community as essential for slowing down and creating space for God. Colossians 2:8 will guide us in understanding the importance of being rooted in Christ rather than in hollow and deceptive philosophies.

We live in a culture that feels like the terms and service agreement; we don’t read it before we accept it, and before we know it…it’s too late to change our mind. This week will focus on the subtle and pervasive ways culture shapes our thinking and behavior. We’ll explore the daily systems around us as major forces of spiritual formation; we'll explore how media, technology, and societal norms influence us more than we might realize. We'll look at Paul's admonition in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

At a time when separation between groups of people based on their religious customs and traditions was normal and embraced, the early church saw God moving in everyone, regardless of their background. We will be challenged to see God’s capacity for that change in all of us today.

In our last week of our Startup Faith Series we chat about the importance of having diverse voices in our life, what it means to listen to God, Bonhoeffer, and cook outs. Text Us: (650)600-0402

Focus on the deployment and expansion of the early church through expansion. Highlight the importance of taking faith into the world and making a lasting impact. Sure, we can let our faith stay contained in our relationships and community, but aren’t we glad the early church didn’t do that? We can sellout to pressures around us and settle back into an earlier phase of development, or we can release the story of our own faith into the story God wants to write in others.

This week we record from a redesigned studio, Phil gets a gift that makes him feel like he went into a time machine, and we talk about how there were things in Phil's message that Mark originally did not like.

Startups can hit plateaus and so can we; the choice to stagnate or innovate is always ours to make. Examine the growth of the early church, including overcoming obstacles and expanding their reach. Emphasize the importance of perseverance, adaptation, and continued development in faith. What would happen if we weren’t willing to settle for safe in our pursuit of life and faith?
