Formation of the Fixated: The Seat or the Limp

When the thoughts of 'I'm not good enough.' 'I have no future.' 'No one loves or accepts me for who I am.' are believed, it is hard to have a seat at the table of victory when we have a defeated mindset. Listen along, as we learn how to sit at a the Kings table, even with a limp, through the lens of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel.

Formation of the Fixated: Sustainability Pt 2

Sustainability is not what you do when things are good, it’s who you are when things are bad. In the purification process, the value of what’s being purified increases. We pray you are encouraged, challenged and strengthened as we talk about how to sustain when you know there will be pain.

Formation of the Fixated: Sustainability

Do you believe that God is your sustainer? How do you model sustainability in your life? Do you live a life that is prepared to brightly burn through the dark days? A life that doesn't lead to being burn out and run down, but one that is holistically healthy. May we not live a life of hyper productivity that leads to barely functioning, in the pursuit of proving ourselves. There is a fullness and a preparedness waiting for us in the intentionality of sustainability. Let's relearn and reshape our lives together.

Formation of the Fixated: Generosity through New Testament Lens

If you have depth and sacrifice without discipline, you’ll have burnout. If you have discipline and sacrifice without depth, you’ll have legalism. May we live a life of sustainability, through the pursuits of depth in the Spirit, discipline in the ways of Jesus, and a lifestyle of healthy sacrifice in the example of which our Savior set. Fixate is a place in which Heaven touches earth and turns our gaze towards the Creator who longs to create again in our lives.

Formation of the Fixated: Foundation of Generosity

When we are rooted in the wholeness of the Spirit, sacrifice gets the world's attention. Generosity, sacrifice, giving..all words that may instantly cause your walls to go up, and at time, for valid reasons. Join us in this conversation of understanding the Biblical posture of generosity, how the church has gotten in wrong and what we can do going forward. Sometimes our anything doesn't feel like anything, but with God it shows that He's in our everything.

Formation of the Fixated: Sacrifice

When you have depth and discipline you understand that sacrifice is an example we set that shows who is above us. Maybe the word "sacrifice" makes you cringe, or causes your walls to go up, but journey with us as we unfold what sacrifice has become and what it biblically means for all of us. Sacrifice is dirty humility and messy compassion. We do what is beneath us, to show Who is above us. Compassion is non-conforming, and if your compassion only conforms to your belief system it's not compassion, it's counterfeit. Service is about inner posture not just outer activity, and sacrifice means committing to pay a cost.

Formation of the Fixated: Discipline of Sabbath

Biblical rest is a redefining of God as the Creator and producer. We learn in Hebrews, that we have a call to be diligent to enter into rest. Being rootless, enflames restlessness. Self help theology, apart from God, can not restore and revive humanity. As you listen to this podcast, allow yourself to go into a time of honest reflection. Our heart is for every believer to find true rest that sustains their pace to finish the race.

Formation of the Fixated: Disciplines in the Sanctuary

Do you think of the Sanctuary as a place of refuge, abiding, covering or safety? Did you know that Jesus' first words recorded in Scripture were regarding His need to be found in the church, consumed with all things God? Disciplines of the Sanctuary must be in place so when the devastation of detours happen in life, we aren't taken out. We continue our walk through the Formation of the Fixated, by getting very honest and real about the discipline of being rooted in a local body.

Formation of the Fixated: Depth in the Desolate

Depth is being rooted in Scripture and Spirit. Let's walk and learn together in what it looks like to be formed by the Father as we are fixated on Him. When things don't dictate depth, do you have depth? Jesus today we come before you, and ask for renewed perspective on desolate seasons. Father would you give us depth, to withstand what feels like fighting for breath, as the waves churn around us. May we be a place where we trust that pursuing You holds our heads above the water, our hearts above the chaos, and our Spirits above the emptiness. Father, would you keep us running towards you, not the comfort of this world.

Formation of the Fixated: Depth

This week we spent some time talking about being formed by DEPTH with the Father. We long for the depths of God, the depth of relationship that only comes from intentional time spent with Him. A depth that reshapes and reforms us into His image and likeness. We don't long to just "get" from Him, but to gain the things of Him. Let us, together, return to the times of refreshing that He has for us. From a life of burnout and legalism, to living a life that bears GOOD fruit in all seasons, through the depth of knowing Him.
