Bob Stromberg - WWF20 Talk #4 - Eagles vs Geese

Have you ever observed geese flying in a V formation? The head goose shields the wind and all the rest are carried by him with very little effort on the part of any one bird. Often we strive for self-sufficiency, like an eagle or hawk, but God made us more like the goose. He wants us to follow behind him and share in communion with each other.

Bob Stromberg - WWF20 Talk #5 - Finding yourself in the bible

The process of finding yourself in the Bible has several steps. First we must enter the story, then we must make the story our own. Next we need to reflect on the good news of the story and, finally, we must give the story a meaningful name to us.

Scripture: Mark 2: 1-12

Jake Kirchner - WWJ20 Talk #1- Looking for God

What if all the events in our life that we thought were meaningless and insignificant and didn't have purpose, God had been a part of it the whole time? God invites us to see the divine in every moment, big or small. God's timeline isn't about changing the trajectory of your life as much as it's changing the condition of your soul.

Scripture: Esther 4: 14

Jake Kirchner - WWJ20 Talk #2 - God's Wake Up Call

God works to give us wake up calls, to not just change the trajectory of our lives, but to change the condition of our souls. He is working in our life; intersecting in our life. God wants to work through us, he wants to work in us, and he wants to work with us.

Scripture: Esther 14

Jake Kirchner - WWJ20 Talk #3 - A meal is never just a meal.

Looking at the last supper, we see ordinary people experiencing extraordinary things. We are reminded that through Christ all things are reconciled. We trust that God is going to do what only God can do and that through Christ, all will be set right.

Jake Kirchner - WWJ20 Talk #4- Moving is not the same as never standing still

Sometimes in life we're supposed to hit the brakes, but often we end up hitting the gas. It's hard to slow down. We know we're supposed to let go, but somehow we're clinging tighter. We're so desperate to run after what God wants us to do, that we miss how God wants us to be. God wants us to be in his proximity, he wants us with him.

Jake Kirchner -WWJ20 Talk #5-Bravery is self-reliance, boldness is spirit dependence.

Michael Frost says we're not called to take a leap of faith; we are called to a faith of leap, a boldness that stirs our faith. It stirs us to boldness and that boldness builds up our faith. The three types of boldness are courage, clarity and confidence. We step into this faith of leap, trusting that God will do what he says and we will be bold in what he has set out for us.
