Episode 19 - Aaron Niequist - So what's the deal with a practice-based faith?
It was so good to have Aaron Niequist drop in to the podcast to talk through the value of a practice-based faith.
God has been at work since the beginning of creation and Aaron speaks of this work as a river, a river that we are invited to not only believe exists, but we are invited into it. To wade in it and participate with God in the healing of the world.
Aaron discovered a practice-based faith years ago when the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist got to the point where he began to even question his beliefs. It was through the help of discovering a practice-based faith that he was able to see great healing take place in his life. He began to swim with God to bring healing to others then too.
Show Notes - The Big Ideas
- Aaron's story of how he faced a faith crisis which changed everything. * not to be missed.
- What exactly is centred prayer? What do we engage in it and how can it be beneficial in our lives?
- Church reimagined as a gymnasium- this is one of the things Aaron brings up in his book. This idea poses some very telling things about the way that churches often conduct services and Aaron tells of another way to possible see church.
