“The story of God is all about God and God’s people. Yes, there are absolutely things that I can apply to my own life, but that is not the end goal.”
“I think that Paul’s pastoral letters are incredibly helpful.”
“I think it’s really important for our church to hear from men and women, for them to hear from multiple generations, and so for there to be diversity in the pulpit.”
“We plan 12 to 15 months out on average. We do a preaching/worship planning retreat every year with multiple people from our staff, not just those who are on the preaching team.”
“We do follow the Christian calendar, not always the lectionary…but we do follow the rhythms.”
“We also focus a lot on practices during the months of January and February because people are thinking about New Year’s Resolutions.”
“Pentecost is a really big day here. We have our intercultural worship, and so for that worship service all five languages are spoken at once. It’s really amazing and powerful.”
“The Christian life is an embodied life.”
“It’s really important for me to know the various scholarship that is out there on a particular topic…before I even read the scholarship it’s saturating and reading over the actual scripture passage and journaling on that.”
“It’s so important that we hone in and find the voice that God has given us.”
