Is a Painless Community Possible?

"I told myself this will be a church that never hurts anybody ever again. No one will get hurt here like I got hurt...

But that's impossible."

As much as we may want to, we cannot prevent people from getting hurt in community. Believing you can will lead to overperforming and burnout.

We can't prevent every hurt, but we can build a community where those hurts are named honestly, we seek to repair the harm caused, and share leadership so the weight is not ours alone.

This is the kind of formation we practice in our Praxis Community Cohorts. Our next cohorts begin in January and we invite you to take the journey with us!

There's a version of church planting built on information.

You read the books, attend the conferences, and you put together a strategy. But before long you discover that that information alone doesn't produce the kind of leader a new community actually needs.

Formation does.

Formation shapes not just what you know, but who you're becoming. It's about your emotional health, your embodied habits, your relational patterns.

And that kind of formation is slower. It takes time. Thirty weeks of it, alongside peers who are doing the same work. This is what our Praxis Community Cohorts are built around.

You've spent some time discerning and you are confident that God is doing something. You've identified where God has called you to and a relational core is beginning to form. The question is no longer whether you're doing this; it's "how?"

Yet underneath the momentum, there is often a quieter one: do I actually have what it takes to sustain this over the long haul? Most planters carry this question alone.

You don't have to.

A Triage Center vs. A Greenhouse

Institutional Participation vs. Spiritual Apathy

"We are not living in a post-spiritual age. There are millions that are stepping away from institutional church participation but they have not abandoned transcendence."

Something New Is Possible.

Repentance As a Part of the Journey

"I used to really be a disciple-maker, but I got away from it because of the size, the scale, and the responsibilities of the church."
