origins day 2
wow. seriously. it has been a great time so far. day 1 was great - erwin is a great communicator. what i can appreciate the most about what mosaic is they definately think the church should be a movement and they are living it. they believe many things have been skewed in the western church and think following jesus should look way different than it does. and they live it and breathe it. so great. there core values are amazing, check em out here. yesterday we dove into wind and earth. alex mcmanus did the 'wind' talk and i love this statement he gave: "mission is why the church exists" beautiful. so great. and then erwin spoke on 'earth' - creativity being a natural result of spirituality. his comment was everyone is creative and our problem has been we equate being artistic with creativity. and he thinks this is wrong. everyone is made in the image of God and is a creative being. and we as the church should be helping people unleash their creativity for the kingdom of God. good stuff. and this is just a snippet of what is going on. today we will dive into the rest of the core values. i am stoked. it has been a breathe of fresh air here - so great. now it will be complete tonight when amanda gets here!! also, in other news i have decided to pursue a maters degree. probably focused in spiritual formation. anybody got some ideas? i am looking at george fox and asbury sem right now, anyone else know of some good programs with a distance learning option? let me know!! off to day 2...i will keep ya posted.
