Cohort: Goals & Culture
“No one gets very far on the path of Christian spirituality without two things—space for contemplative reflection and engagement with others who share the journey.”
YOU
You are Yahweh’s literal dream come true. He thought of you before the founding of the world and chose this time on earth for you. You are a deposit of Him who has been created with beautiful purpose.
This Cohort is a time and space for you to invest in yourself as a child of Yahweh and as a part of His beautiful plan.
As you are best able in this season, make intentional time for reading our books, for contemplation & prayer, and for being part of our meetings.
GOLD
When panning for gold, miners sort through a lot of rock and dirt to find the treasure. They don’t focus on the dirt, they just keep setting it aside in order to find the gold.
The books we will be reading together are not perfect. You won’t agree with all points. But let’s pan for gold, not dirt.
What for the Holy Spirit to highlight the gold. Allow Him to highlight the things that He has for you in this season. Don’t worry about the rest.
COMMUNITY
Our Cohort community is a place of grace, space, and care.
-
We give each other GRACE to be exactly where we are in our journeys. Our journeys are not linear. We are each on our own trajectories.
-
We give SPACE for differences. We choose to learn from each other as we each reflect unique facets of Yahweh. Our community will contain a diversity of human cultures, denominational affiliations, and political opinions. We will make space for differences and not debate them.
-
We CARE for one another’s stories and journeys. What we share in our times together are precious conversations that will be carried with care. We anticipate that we will be “iron sharpens iron” for each other, and also hold each others’ stories in safety.
