Kathryn is in NYC with Laura Leigh, reliving her dream from four years ago that has recently become a reality.  After her Broadway debut came to a sharp halt during Covid, God gave Laura Leigh a dream to start building an innovative community for women in the city. At the center of it all would be a home where 12 young creatives could live together and be discipled.  Hear Laura Leigh's heart behind the dream, be inspired by her resilient faith, and be encouraged in God's big work in this small community in NYC. https://risecollective.nyc -- www.Dwellings.info

Tony shares about a life of deeply investing into small groups of people, over many years and in many contexts. Join our conversation around how to build community in non-traditional spaces, with people God brings in our paths. Tony tells us about his business friends and gym friends and other groups he regularly invests in, to inspire us toward innovation in our ways of discipleship. --- www.dwellings.info

We are taking a break from our season on Kingdom Innovation bc it's election week in the US, and we think this word from our teammate David Legge is one that is worth hearing, no matter what country you are listening from. As our house churches were gathering here in Little Rock this week, David Legge was in town with us, and we asked him to share a message with us, that he titled, “An Other Worldly Kingdom.”  David had given a similar message in Ireland recently at the New Wine Conference, but it was interesting how much of the perspective he gave to the crowd there applies to us in the United States as well, as other countries, when it comes to the ways we can accidentally start finding our hope in a political Kingdom, a Kingdom that is less than the spiritual Kingdom God has invited us into.

JR Woodward, author and national director of V3 church planting movement, shares how freedom and innovation enables movement. He tells us how a story of an ordinary woman innovating for the Kingdom in a retirement home, and he challenges us to all create more room for gifts of innovation to flourish in our communities, even in small ways.  --- www.Dwellings.info

Rob Wegner, Director of the Kansas City Underground movement of microchurches, shares with us the surprises he has had in his journey of doing ministry differently over the past seven years. Rob explains how decentralization can promote innovation, and what we can do when the best ideas come from outside of us.  www.kcunderground.org / https://starfishinitiatives.com --- www.Dwellings.info

While innovation is a key value in business and education, the church has been hesitant to innovate. In this episode, Kathryn and Jennie discuss why these hesitations exist, and how the church might apply innovative thinking to help it flourish. Jennie explains that the next generation is hungering for revival and awakening, and she talks about Gather 25, her greatest Kingdom innovation yet.

Join the conversation with Jayme Thompson, founder of the Worship Initiative, Linger Conference, and the Five Talents Fund, as we talk about how Kingdom can intersect with entrepreneurial ideas, and how to discern the Spirit's direction when faced with a new idea. Jayme shares how to discern the right Kingdom alignments as we pursue the work ahead. Last, Jayme challenges us to think about our own interests, and how they might become ministry. This intersection of Kingdom + our interests might just be what leads us to Kingdom Innovation.  Connect with Jayme at https://www.fivetalentsfund.org --- Visit Dwellings.info for more information on the Dwellings Pathway and other resources from the Dwellings team.

As Christian leaders, we often feel dissatisfied with the status quo or overwhelmed by rapid cultural shifts. We know something needs to change, but the fear of uncertainty, loss, or pain leaves us clinging to ineffective systems and practices. Drawing from Jesus' life and ministry, leadership catalyst and coach Rich Robinson of Scotland outlines a four-phase framework to navigate adaptive challenges and help you dream again, unlocking your kingdom potential.

In this episode, Kathryn Maack and David Legge talk about  7 myths around the concept of innovation. You can ask yourself if you have believed any of these myths for yourself, and how they might even get in the way of having Kingdom imagination in your context. If you want to start a conversation around it, we'd love to hear from you over in our Facebook Group, Dwellings Community.  --- Dwellings Pathway: www.Dwelling.info

We need to pursue Him passionately to experience more of the presence of God. King David reflects this in Psalm 63, and others like Moses and Isaiah show us what it is like to hunger after and interact with God's presence. In this message, you'll hear how God is calling us to turn away from other distractions and sins to gain a greater passion for friendship with him. -- If you would like to become a Dwellings Partner through a one-time or monthly gift, you can sign up today here:  https://www.dwellings.info/give Want to meet friends on this journey?

Ezekiel tells us how the presence of God reluctantly withdrew from the Temple in stages and eventually from the whole nation. The sins of the people had driven him from them. This is a sobering message highlighting the need for holiness but also giving us great hope in the Savior we have in Jesus, who brings God's presence to us through His cross. -- If you would like to become a Dwellings Partner through a one-time or monthly gift, you can sign up today here:  https://www.dwellings.info/give Want to meet friends on this journey?

The primary way the presence of God rested among God's people in the Old Testament was in the Tabernacle and the Temple, particularly over the Ark of the Covenant. Unfortunately, the people of God came to the point in their history of taking God's presence for granted, and consequently, they lost it. Listen along as David shares some principles around reverencing the presence of God and how God's work must be done God's way to experience the power of His presence. -- If you would like to become a Dwellings Partner through a one-time or monthly gift, you can sign up today here:  https://www.dwellings.info/give Want to meet friends on this journey?

In the first part of this teaching series by David on The Glorious Presence of God, we look at the different "kinds" of God's presence and how God manifests His presence to us in a unique way during times of awakening and revival. Then David focuses on God's relationship with Adam and Eve before sin entered humanity and how our sin impacts the presence of God in our lives.

In this episode, Christy Nockels tells us how, after years in the Passion Band and as the band Watermark, she has learned to experience his presence in the ordinary moments just as she has on the largest of stages. Christy gives us ways to posture ourselves when God seems far away: confession and consecration. She also tells us of a time when a song felt particularly consecrated to Jesus, and how she - and many others - experienced a special moment together as a result. This song was Knees to the Earth, and since Christy just released a new version of the song, listen for it at the end of this episode.

Bill has been a champion of revival and awakening for decades, especially after he led his own church through 19 days and nights of prayer and worship. Bill talks about the issues we have in seeking experiences instead of Jesus himself, but also the issues if we avoid emotion and experience altogether. Bill will encourage you to open your eyes to all God is doing in our unique time and places, and thinks we could be on the verge of seeing a great move of God in our day.

Roy and Daphne Godwin decided to do things differently as they led a prayer retreat center for years in Western Wales called Flald-y-Brenin. As people arrived, they pulled back from programming and even teaching as their all-consuming goals became introducing people to the presence of Jesus. Learn how the Godwins learned to simply make space for his presence, and hear some stories about how people's lives were subsequently changed. It takes humility to remove ourselves from the picture, and it takes faith to rely on God to show up as we make space for him. Be challenged to do the same in your community as you hear the Godwins' story.

In this episode, Kathryn and David briefly talk about the tendencies we have to operate in our own power, ignoring the fact that he is here and wants to lead the way.  Join our conversation around what it looks like to start with yourself, asking Jesus to be real in your life again. Awakening typically starts when just a few people begin to confess their sins, get right with God again, and invite him in new ways into thier lives and communities.  You'll hear about how this happened years ago on a small island called the Island of Lewis, as we pray that we could experience a similar move of God in our communities today.

This episode gives you a glance behind the scenes to our one of our online gatherings of the Dwellings Cohort. Francis Chan is the bestselling author of Crazy Love, Forgotten God, and Letters to the Church, and leads a house church movement in San Francisco. He inspires us all with his recent growing appetite to devour the Scriptures, reminding us that a reading of the Word of God from an unskilled orator might just change us more than any carefully crafted sermon that didn't center on Scripture. He goes on to answer some questions from cohort participants such as: How should we invite the participation of people that are more reserved? When we talk about everyone participating, where does leadership come into play? And how do smaller communities multiply well?  You don't want to miss this inspiring conversation.

Dwellings' Content Developer Sarah Wood has a background in both ministry and education and finds the crossroads between the two to be an interesting subject for our time in the Church.  On this week's episode, Sarah tells us about Jesus's conversational style of teaching his disciples and how it challenges our models of discipleship today. Do you know how many curiosity-provoking questions he asked them? Little of Jesus's time with them involved preaching sermons.  Also see how conversational learning relates to trends we are seeing in the field of education.

Kathryn opens up a conversation around the third shift we are making in our discipleship: from spectators to participants. In an era where our discipleship forms have often centered around a stage or a video, it's interesting to look back at Jesus's way with his disciples. He was the ultimate Rabbi, (teacher) but his teaching was different because it invited participation. He invited his disciples into conversation, asking over 300 questions, and he invited them into practicing their faith... involving them in active miracles, a life of prayer, and more. How could we begin to go back to not only his way, but the way of the early church, and invite participation in new ways?

When Mary and Joseph arrived at the inn some 2000 years ago, there wasn't room for them at the inn. So many of us can find ourselves in the same place this week- so consumed with tasks that we miss Jesus himself. The places we inhabit can also become too full for him, even this week. What type of things can we cut to make room for him? What would it look like for our homes to be more like the manger bed- open and ready to receive him?

In a world that has more accessible information than ever before, we can move beyond information transfer to transformational discipleship. While having knowledge about the Bible and God is very important, it is not enough... we were called to relationship with him. God is meant to be experientially known, not just mentally known. Job had second hand knowledge of God but desired a first hand experience of him... reminding us that there is always more for us as well.

We're adding this bonus episode at the end of our shift from isolation to family, after hearing from so many of you that your relationship with family has been complicated or wounding. Kathleen Doyle, a pastor counselor with over 25 years of church leadership experience, helps us walk through what it means to disentangle our relationship with Jesus from the wounds of people, the difference in spiritual abuse and wounding, and some steps we could take to move forward and reimagine what it could mean to experience spiritual family again. @kathleenadoyle https://m.exponential.org/2022orl/speakers/speakers-1010.html The Dwellings Podcast is only possible because of the generous partnership of people like you.

One of the world's leading missiologists, Alan Hirsch, comes to us from Australia, explaining how we should question titles but embrace giftings in the church. Learn about the gifting that Christ has given his church, outlined in Eph 4, and a test we can take to help us understand the roles of: apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, teacher.  Kathryn and Alan discuss how these giftings have a scope way beyond church and ministry staff positions. They also talk about how certain leadership gifts have been elevated in this season of the Western Church, and how we need to elevate, and refuse to quench, all of the gifts... in order to see the future Church flourish.

Today Kathryn introduces three shifts that are important for us to consider in the church. This episode introduces the shifts we will talk about during this season: isolation to family, information to transformation, and spectators to participants. We will be reminded that many of these aren't just a shift toward the future, but an echo of the past, as they are informed by the ways of the early church. We will also see how we are being informed by the ways of the church in the global south, where Christianity is growing the fastest. The Dwellings Podcast is only possible because of the generous partnership of people like you.

Dwellings Podcast Season 2 is on Future Shifts for the church. In this series we will explore shifts we feel God calling us into during this season. While they feel new to us in the West, they are actually shifts toward the early church, and are in keeping with the ways of the church in the global south where Christianity is growing the fastest.

When it comes to making decisions, sometimes we isolate, making pros and cons lists or ruminating in our beds at 3am. Other times, we seek the counsel of others, hoping their advice can bring clarity to the situation at hand. While we can make decisions on our own, and we do need advice from others, we can often forget that God has ways of speaking into our situation with wisdom that is above the wisdom of man. Learn about a practical tool to use when it comes to making decisions in your life that are informed by God. And then pass it on when others come to you seeking advice.

Despite it being a country where a conversion to Christianity can mean execution, Iran has the fastest growing Christian church in the world. Large numbers of Muslims have first been introduced to Jesus through a dream or vision. Why would God use dreams to reach the Muslim world? And what happens after these dreams or visions occur? In this eye-opening episode, Kathryn invites to Tom to help us know whether dreams and visions can be trusted as a way to hear God's voice.

Some of us have a life with God that is characterized by being with him. We might have a lot of practice hearing God's voice. Others of us have a more active life with God, one characterized by doing. We might struggle to sit around listening for God when there is so much to do on the earth. Inspired by the book Aaron and Kathryn wrote, Whole, this conversation focuses on how hearing God's voice relates to taking action.
