What we’ll discuss
-
A Gospel Lens
Learning to see the world through Christ, rather than Christ through the world.
-
Categories of Engagement
Learn to discern when Jesus calls us to belong to culture, when we are called to distance ourselves, and how to becomes artisans of redemption.
-
Identity
How is our identity formed? Discuss where you have been formed by 'outward' sources; where you have looked 'inward'; and how God the Father invites you to look 'upward' to hear His voice.
-
Technology & AI:
As tech further encroaches on every aspect of our being, we pause to consider the implications of our "cyborg reality". As heart-soul-mind-strength complexes designed for love, is our tech usage fostering relationships of love or diminishing them?
-
Reconciliation in Canada
Reconciliation is a central aspect of the gospel. In Canada, our history of colonization of Canada's Indigenous people did not demonstrate this. How is the church invited to seek reconciliation by educating ourselves about our history and then being artisans of peace in our communities?
-
Integration
The goal is that we live increasingly integrated lives; that no area of our lives would be untransformed by the life of Christ.
