  The world has changed. The changes around us present daunting challenges to the church, and we minister in places we have never been in before. But there are no one-size-fits-all solutions because every church needs to attend to its specific situation and calling. We need to listen for not only what to do but also what not to do. In a world screaming in a thousand directions for our focus, it's essential for us to become attentive to God, our congregation, and our community. 
   
   
   
  Kevin Ford and Jim Singleton call for attentive churches with attentive leaders who can discern cultural and organizational change and pivot accordingly. Healthy transformation starts with a posture of attention. We need to see what God is already doing in our midst: in our own soul, in our people, and in the communities and culture around us. Chapters explore key questions that attentive leaders ask and offer case studies of attentive churches that have navigated the issues and transitions facing them. As we practice habits of attention, God leads us through the highs and lows of change into the exciting adventure of being on mission with him.

  How has God provided for single Christians? Statistics show that life as a single person has become a common experience. For many in the church, singleness is the new normal. Between loneliness, sexual temptation, and self-pity, Christians often forget that God does not view them as second-class. In this short booklet, Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley remind single Christians that they can experience rich and satisfying lives when they understand that Christ, not marriage, completes them. Pastoral and practical, their biblical wisdom shows singles in the church how they can see their singleness as God’s gift for them as a means to glorify and enjoy Him forever. Singles and married couples alike can learn from this resource as they strive together to grow in godliness. “As an older, lifelong, single Christian, I recommend this booklet to my fellow Christian singles as a helpful summary of biblical principles, advice, and promises.” ―Curt Daniel, pastor of Faith Bible Church, Springfield, Illinois, and author of The History and Theology of Calvinism This booklet is a part of the “Cultivating Biblical Godliness” series, which answers questions Christians have about everyday faithfulness in life and practice.

  Year of the Dark Goddess - A...

  A guided journey of empowerment and healing through life’s difficult passages, with practical tools, including embodied rituals, writing prompts, seasonal self-care practices, and community creation.   The journey of the Dark Goddess is a natural part of any difficult rite of passage. These transitions are often thought of as negative—death of a loved one, job loss, home loss, chronic illness, divorce—but even so-called “happy” transitions, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or retirement, can come with unexpected instability, grief, and a need for integration. In our culture, we may often feel like we should "move on" or "get back to normal." In studying myth, however, we come to understand that the purpose of challenging life transformations is not positive or negative.  Year of the Dark Goddess provides an anchor and a roadmap for navigating the disorientation of life transformations and offers resources for embracing changes as initiations that strengthen us and make clear our purpose and power. The book is modeled on ancient rite-of-passage ceremonies and journeys to the underworld and is structured as a four-phase rite-of-passage process: Preparation, Separation from the Known, Transition-Initiation, and Return-Integration. The book provides readers with practical tools—embodied rituals, writing practice, seasonal self-care and community creation—to ground and empower positive transformations in times of challenging change. Readers may use the book as both a linear guide through the initiation year, or a nonlinear tool for structuring their own unique rite-of-passage journey. Readers are invited to create personal challenges, reframe their rite-of-passage through myth work and sacred art, and create a potent and effective rite of passage ceremony to integrate their change.   The self-initiation process in Year of the Dark Goddess follows a ceremonial year, each quarter section is structured with the following:An interactive brief of themes and objectives for the quarter, such as making an altar, writing with the ancestors, creating herbal infusions, and storytelling.A seasonal ceremony template appropriate to the rite-of-passage phase.A unique retelling of an ancient myth or fairy tale and instructions for deep myth work. These tales contain the formula for how to successfully navigate rites of passage, consciously and unconsciously.Journaling prompts for reflection and projection, making visible the initiation journey.
