Catch up on the latest teaching — available to stream anytime, from anywhere.
We don't usually change because we believed the right thing. We change because we practiced something — long enough that it became who we are. This August and September at The Venues, we're spending nine weeks on that idea, spelling out one word — PRACTICE — one letter, one week, one practice at a time.
August 2 — Why Practice? — Why doesn't just believing the right things ever seem to be enough?
August 9 — P: Presence — Can you be fully there with someone and still miss what's right in front of you?
August 16 — R: Release — What would it cost you to let go of being right, or being in control?
August 23 — A: Attention — Who has your community quietly stopped noticing?
August 30 — C: Commitment — What do you keep doing when nothing's making you stay?
September 6 — T: Truth Telling — What's the true thing we'd rather not say out loud?
September 13 — I: Interruption — What happens when the person who needs you shows up at the worst possible time?
September 20 — Venuespalooza — A day where we practice all of this together, out in the 417.
September 27 — C: Curiosity — Can you bring your real, unresolved questions into the light?
October 4 — E: Embrace — Who have you been taught to keep at arm's length?

● RADICALLY INCLUSIVE
Whoever you are, you are already welcome here.
We know a lot of people have complicated feelings about church. Maybe you’ve been hurt before. Maybe you have more questions than answers. Maybe you’ve never stepped inside one, or you walked away and aren’t sure why you’d walk back in.
None of that disqualifies you here. We are a radically inclusive community built on the conviction that love comes before everything else. No prerequisites, no performance required.
We’ve been waiting for you
