BEYOND Formation Courses
ReWire’s core formation courses are a collection of six core courses that are central to missional spiritual formation. Each core course is 10-weeks long, gathers once per week, is led by a ReWire formation coach, and involves daily and weekly rhythms of prayer, journaling, live class discussion and teaching.
Call: Discovering Your Call in Community
Call is a passion that, when activated, not only brings healing to a hurting world but also brings healing to our souls. Have you ever wondered what it would look like to engage your passion for the Kingdom of God? This class could be the place to discover just that. As a community, we will learn to discern God’s voice from the voices of family, friends, culture, and self. We will explore how God has used our experiences to form us into people uniquely prepared to serve him.
Care for the Poor: Jesus’ Way of Community Transformation
Jesus is our example of the ultimate servant. He lived among us, walked with the poor, had a heart of humility, and displayed self-offering love. His servant character is what we should strive to imitate. As a community we will explore the kind of heart change necessary to do this, as well as the practical question of how to live it out.
Centered Living: Rhythms for an Integrated Life
Many of us long for, but rarely get to experience, time set-aside for listening to God and being in his presence. Centered Living introduces disciplines that bring people into the presence of God. These disciplines are not a legalistic set of rules but rather practices that, through grace, tap into the healing and transforming love of God. As a community, we will explore and experience the practice of disciplines including meditation, silence, fasting, and solitude. Through the process, we will experience the reality that these disciplines are meant to heal the heart, not burden the soul.
Character of a Change Agent: Finding the Strength to Love
Martin Luther King Jr.’s life serves as a template for putting God’s love into action for causes of justice and peace. As a community, we will look at the life and teachings of MLK to find the kind of character one needs to be transformative in the world for God. MLK embodied the love, truth, and courage needed to do what was right as an advocate for social change; we will explore how we too can find the strength to love.
Cultural Captivity: A Pathway to Freedom
Culture influences us more than we realize. Keeping up with the Joneses, A.I., reality TV, pace of life, cars, smart phones, music, lifestyles, clothes, consumerism . . . and the list goes on. Often if we stop to think, we realize that culture has come to control our lives more than we ever remember giving it permission to. Come and explore with others how freely you make decisions and how much is determined by culture. Find out how it might feel to be truly free and what steps you might take to move toward that freedom.
Life in the Kingdom: Living the Mission of God
God’s desire is that all people live a life of loving him and loving their neighbor. This kind of love works for a just, reconciled, and peaceful world where people are liberated from all forms of oppression and treated with God-given dignity. As a community, we will explore the values of the Kingdom and how to live in such a way that we sustain an “others-focused” lifestyle.
