Crossroads: Mapping a Journey of Faith- Have you ever wondered what lies ahead in your journey of faith? Have you ever wished you could draw from the experience of the saints who have gone before you? During this course, participants will enjoy an in depth look at different stages of the Christian life and the development of Evelyn Underhill's The Three Ways. Participants will study the purgative, illuminative and unitive ways (stages) and the general focus and experience of a Christian in each of those three ways. Prayer will be a central focus as we look at each of The Three Ways and it's significance in deepening your relationship with God.

The class will look at the makeup of the human soul as the body, mind and spirit. Stephanie will also introduce the Meaning Matrix, which is a helpful tool in discovering meaning in every stage of life.

Countless Christians over the the past century have discovered the benefit of understanding this map of Christian growth. This information will tickle your intellect and expand your understanding of Christian spiritual development, while helping you to answer the lifelong spiritual question, "What purpose does God have for me in the time to come?"

"The Irresistible Revolution" By Shane Claiborne- If there is such a thing as a disarming radical, 30-year-old Claiborne is it. A former Tennessee Methodist and born-again, high school prom king, Claiborne is now a founding member of one of a growing number of radical faith communities. His is called the Simple Way, located in a destitute neighborhood of Philadelphia. It is a house of young believers, some single, some married, who live among the poor and homeless. They call themselves "ordinary radicals" because they attempt to live like Christ and the earliest converts to Christianity, ignoring social status and unencumbered by material comforts. Claiborne's chatty and compelling narrative is magnetic, his stories (from galvanizing a student movement that saved a group of homeless families from eviction to reaching Mother Teresa herself from a dorm phone at 2 a.m.) draw the reader in with humor and intimacy, only to turn the most common ways of practicing religion upside down. He somehow skewers the insulation of suburban living and the hypocrisy of wealthy churches without any self-righteous finger pointing. "The world," he says, "cannot afford the American dream." Claiborne's conviction, personal experience and description of others like him are a clarion call to rethink the meaning of church, conversion and Christianity; no reader will go away unshaken.
Mike Edmison's Wednesday Night Alive classes are group discussion based events.  The path the class takes completely comes from the class itself. Each one is individual.  Join us as we take a look at what the world of dress codes, material wealth, and search for status has done to the community of faith and who has been pushed aside because of this.  This class will challenge not only your faith but your life as well.
