This week, we share a For the Journey exclusive conversation between Bill Haley and Terry Walling, a long-time church leader and author of the recent book, Unlikely Nomads: In Search of the New Church. Terry has observed many committed Christians choosing to step away from familiar forms of church and community out of love for Jesus. Bill and Terry discuss why this trend has only increased since Terry's book came out, and what God might be up to as new forms of Christian community emerge.Explore new forms of Christian Community offered through Coracleinthecoracle.org | @inthecoracleSupport the show

Are you finding yourself characterized by restlessness, confusion, self-doubt, and isolation? Do all your attempts to hear from God seem to only bring resounding silence? If so, you may be in a transition! You don't know where you are going, but you know you can't go back to where you were. These moments of pause are actually gifts from God as He develops us for His greater glory. Often in these times, we want to get out as quickly as possible, but God wants us to let Him in to do His mighty work. Kevin is joined on the podcast today, by Dr. Terry Walling, author of the book, Stuck. Join them for this crucial conversation about times of transition that every Christian faces.

Ps Joel looks at a story of Elijah in our Remnant series as we think about how to respond in times that are overwhelming. Check out the Whiteboard image from tonight here “One of the general characteristics of a time of transition is the fact that we can’t go back but we don’t know how to go forward. And it creates this time of uncertainty, even a time of isolation. We often don’t like those moments and we want to get out of them as quickly as we can. But the reality is that if we look back on many, many years of how God shapes leaders –even biblically and historically –we want out of transitions, but God wants in. One of the things that is good about transition is the ability to have him refine us, and take us to a new place, deeper into our dependence on him, and what that typically yields is a greater ability to minister for him. The very thing we resist sometimes is the very thing he is trying to do to align us with him and grant us more of his presence. Because personal renewal leads to corporate change. Instead of resisting it, move toward it.” - Terry Walling
