FINDING MEANING
Faith is about a meaningful life.
Jesus was about a meaningful life.
The Spirit invites us to a meaningful life.
Does the Church encourage a meaningful life?

GREAT SPIRITUAL MIGRATION

• WE ARE SHIFTING SPIRITUALLY FROM DEFINING OURSELVES BY BELIEFS TO DEFINING OURSELVES BY A WAY OF LIFE DEFINED BY LOVE.
![Page 19: Rev. Dr. John Pentland Webinar - United-in-Learning · 2019-11-05 · FISHING TIPS 1. Let Leaders Lead 2. Expand Your Circles 3. Discern Your Values 4. Dont Fight The Resurrection](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050210/5f5d0b652aae11448e7ae3be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• WE ARE SHIFTING THEOLOGICALLY BY MOVING FROM THE IDEA OF A VIOLENT SUPREME BEING TO A RENEWING SPIRIT AT WORK IN THE WORLD.

• WE ARE SHIFTING MISSIONALLY IN THAT PEOPLE ARE IDENTIFYING LESS AND LESS WITH ORGANIZED RELIGION AND MORE AND MORE WITH CAUSES SUCH AS THE ENVIRONMENT, PEACE, AND POVERTY.

• We need to be clear that HOW we treat each other matters. People “sniff out” churches for behaviours and practices that say “who they are”.
• Is respect, compassion, inclusion in the air?
• Is their an “in group” and “out group”
• How do we have “oneness”?

• Churches tend to focus on people who have been around for a long time
• Not on “who could be here?”
• It is important to expand your circles.

WHERE IS FOCUS?
• IS it who is THERE or NOT THERE?
• Both matter, but often it is SO inward NO ONE can enter…I say people NOT THERE MATTER
• Call this evangelism if you like, sense is people sniff for authenticity, realness, inclusion.

What REALLY matters to your community?
Are they known?
Can you repeat them?

RISK • In 2016 we added RISK as a practice.
• We noticed we were already in our budget, in our staffing, in our engagement, in our practice with other values…helps us NOT BE stuck or fearful..(kinda like Jesus)

Tip 4
DON’T FIGHT THE
RESURRECTION

LET IT GO
Sometimes something has to die to make room for something new.
![Page 73: Rev. Dr. John Pentland Webinar - United-in-Learning · 2019-11-05 · FISHING TIPS 1. Let Leaders Lead 2. Expand Your Circles 3. Discern Your Values 4. Dont Fight The Resurrection](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050210/5f5d0b652aae11448e7ae3be/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
DO we TRUST ?
• Let things die, it is natural in our world why not church…?
• It isn’t about YOU…it is about who is NOT here.
• DO we trust God can and will work with us to bring a new way and day…? Mark Gospel first word…”repent”- change…

Do you practice possibility?
