Trellis | Knowing Yourself (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Who am I? We seldom make time to unpack this short but critical question that affects everything we do. Our identity is found not simply by looking within ourselves but by understanding the voices in our lives—from both the past and the present—that have shaped who we are, and continue to do so! As relational beings, the voices that resonate most deeply in our lives are the ones forming our… Read More »Trellis | Knowing Yourself (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Trellis | Listening for God (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Our misconceptions of God can keep us from experiencing the incredible privileges of divine communion with Father, Son, and Spirit. Despite the ultimate mystery of who God is (how can the finite truly know the infinite?), the gospel is that this Triune God eagerly calls to us as both friend and child. The (optional) accompanying text for this TRELLIS will be Dallas Willard’s Hearing God. This is a rich text as… Read More »Trellis | Listening for God (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Trellis | Reviving Calling (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

For some, the idea of discerning one’s call is synonymous with finding the right job, but the Biblical notion of calling is much grander.  God’s calling engages the whole of our lives and was never meant to be isolated to one small aspect of it.  When we open ourselves up to God’s lead, we can’t simply pick and choose which elements we follow and which we ignore.  For this reason,… Read More »Trellis | Reviving Calling (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

TRELLIS: The Calling of Hope

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: The Calling of Hope

TRELLIS: Loving Others

In our ruggedly individualistic culture, it’s not readily apparent that other people are a quintessential part of our identity.  As image-bearers of a Triune God, we need other people to help us understand and realize the redemptive work God has set before us.  Who are the others in my life?  What role do they play and what calling has God given me regarding these people? Throughout the two-week experience, you will be introduced… Read More »TRELLIS: Loving Others

TRELLIS: New Vision for Work

Too often, we myopically reduce the concept of calling to career choices, but doing so assumes that God speaks to us with regard only to our work rather than speaking into the whole of our lives, with work as one part. It is this layering within the larger context that can help us more clearly discern God’s direction for our work. This Trellis draws from Makoto Fujimura’s book, Art + Faith.… Read More »TRELLIS: New Vision for Work
