Deeply Formed Life

Be changed. Be formed. Go deep.


 

What is deeply formed life?

We want to be a community that creates space for any topics or questions of life. This is a way to gather people with different backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures who all have the shared desire to go deep. We will join together monthly for shared conversation around five transformative values, rooting us in the way of Jesus. As Rich Villodas says, The troubling reality is that believers can be deeply committed to being Christian without ever being deeply formed by Christ.”

What will we be reading?

This Spring 2024 we will be reading The Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas where we will discuss:

January 29 | Contemplative Rhythms, Chapters 1-2

February 26 | Racial Reconciliation, Chapters 3-4

March 18 | Interior Examination, Chapters 5-6

April 29 | Sexual Wholeness, Chapters 7-8

May 13 | Missional Presence, Chapters 9-10

*Scroll down for discussion questions and suggested further reading.

 

What will we do at deeply formed life?

We will come together, having read that month’s materials, to share a meal, break into small groups of 12-15 people (either with your Connect Group or we will put you in a group), explore questions based on the topic, and pray together.

Who Can Come?

Anyone is welcome, so feel free to invite friends and family! All Connect Groups are invited to come as a group for the discussion portion.
