Trellis Loving Others

Trellis: Guided Spiritual Rhythms | Loving in Exile

In a culture that prizes independence, we can forget that we are made for one another. As image-bearers of the Triune God, our lives are deeply interwoven—our identity, our growth, and even our calling take shape in relationship with others. God often speaks through the people He places around us, shaping us and inviting us into redemptive love. This Trellis invites you to reflect on the question: Who are the… Read More »Trellis: Guided Spiritual Rhythms | Loving in Exile

Trellis | New Voice: Discerning God’s Tone

Our perception of God shapes how we relate to Him. Misunderstandings or distortions can keep us at a distance, missing the joy of communion with Father, Son, and Spirit. Yet the good news of the gospel is that the Triune God draws near—welcoming us as both friend and child, inviting us into ongoing conversation with Him. Over these two weeks, you’ll be guided through a variety of prayer practices that… Read More »Trellis | New Voice: Discerning God’s Tone

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… Read More »Trellis: Guided Spiritual Rhythms | Becoming Fully Alive

Trellis: Life-Giving Rhythms for Reviving Calling

For many, “calling” is often equated with choosing the right career path. But in Scripture, God’s call is far more expansive—it encompasses the whole of our lives. Calling isn’t about isolating one piece of who we are; it begins with the Caller Himself. Discerning our call doesn’t start with self-analysis, but with listening—attentively and expectantly—for the voice of the Shepherd who guides His people (John 10:13–16). Over the course of… Read More »Trellis: Life-Giving Rhythms for Reviving Calling

Trellis | Hidden Hope (*Special Note for Federal Employees*)

We have a God who is familiar with darkness. Imagine, before the divine fiat, “Let there be light,” God was in the darkness of what was formless and empty. Perhaps the Bible starts off this way because God wants His people to know that He is no stranger to the darkness found in this world. He wants us to know that He speaks into that darkness to create light and… Read More »Trellis | Hidden Hope (*Special Note for Federal Employees*)
