Living Jesus - a six-part series
Living Jesus: Formed by Christ
It was an uncomfortable prayer practice. I was invited to prayerfully imagine that I was standing before Christ on the cross, asking three questions.

Living Jesus: A Spiritual Practice for Discovering Our Context
Ongoing spiritual transformation continuously calls us to become more conscious of what restricts a free and faithful response to Christ’s mission in and around us.
When thinking about Living Jesus this is what comes to mind. The actions of an individual or community that reveal Jesus.
Living Jesus: The Inward Center
