Purpose

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

The Deeply Formed Life

This study will take you on a journey through the Bible. Along the way, you’ll look at characters and events that show us God’s mission and His heart for the world. Each day begins with some passages of Scripture for you to read.  As you consider the mission God has for you, we hope this Bible study will be a source of insight and encouragement for you!

Maybe you’re looking at the pastors and staff in your local church and asking God if He’s calling you into full-time ministry as well.

Is God Calling Me Into Full-Time Ministry? - 7 Questions to Consider

We live in a world where to be seen is to be known and to be known is to have influence… or so we’re told. Leadership without a spotlight doesn’t make you any less of a leader, and it doesn’t make your calling any less important or impactful. Join us over the next three days as we learn how to lead in obscurity from a man named Bezalel.

How to Lead When You're Behind the Scenes 

Do you feel like your life is stagnant? Do you want God to do something in your life? Are you searching for your purpose, but can’t seem to find it? God is calling you to do something new and something great. Always being ready to answer God’s call means preparing our hearts for what he wants to do.

Always Ready: Be Prepared for God’s Calling

Through these daily powerful readings, return to the altar and experience a fresh encounter with God. Learn the true meaning of the altar, and bring hope to the hurting and those seeking a revival in the church. This devotional is based on Rebuilding the Altar by Pat and Karen Schatzline.

Rebuilding The Altar

Why am I so stressed? Why don't I get any rest even when I get enough sleep? Why do I feel so pointless in my job? God wants to replace your stress with his Sabbath rest and your job dissatisfaction with his divine calling for your workplace. To do this, we need to look to Jesus. He helps us to make every decision through the lens of God's kingdom.
