Trellis: Guided Spiritual Rhythms | Becoming Fully Alive

There is a moment in every Christian’s life when everything changes. Despite the seismic nature of this event, it can come about quietly and invisibly without pomp and circumstance. Scripture describes this moment as a miraculous movement from death to life. Theologians refer to this as regeneration, not meant as a metaphor or symbol, but as an ontological reality.

Biblically speaking, to live is to live by the Spirit who is the Spirit of love (2 Timothy 1:7). This is what animates the Christian life and brings to the world the aroma of life and of Christ. It does not arise from sheer resolve or discipline but from the generous outpouring of the Spirit who animates parts of us that have never come alive.

Over the course of this two-week journey, you’ll be invited into new ways of prayer, learning to walk conversationally with God and to recognize His voice amid the patterns of your life. In pausing with intention, we rediscover that stillness is not stagnation—it is fertile ground for growth, authentic connection, and living more fully in God’s presence.

• 1 Intro Session: Sun Dec 7, 7:45-9p EST. (Online experience for theological introduction and time in listening quads. Recorded for those who cannot join live.)
• 6 Communal Guided Listening Sessions: every Mon, Wed, and Fri 12:35-1:00p EST, during the weeks of Dec 8 and Dec 15. (Attend live or listen to the 25-min recordings at personal set times.)

The communal practices of Trellis are designed to gently interrupt ordinary routines, creating openings for deeper attentiveness to the God who renews and restores. And because they can be entered into wherever you are, the journey meets you right in the midst of daily life.

“If a vine doesn’t have a trellis, it will die. And if your life with Jesus doesn’t have some kind of structure to facilitate health and growth, it will wither away…The point of a trellis isn’t to make the vines stand up straight in neat rows, but rather to attain a rich, deep glass of wine.”

— John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
