Across teaching, conversation and worship, C. Baxter Kruger (Perichoresis), Jason Clark (Rethinking God with Tacos) and Paul Golf (Champions of Hope) will invite us to move beyond a “visitation” mindset into a steady, lived participation in the Trinitarian life of God. This is not escapist spirituality, but a grounded, hope‑filled vision of life with God in the middle of ordinary responsibility, leadership and mission.

Many of us have tasted “God’s presence” in powerful moments, yet still carry a quiet sense of distance, anxiety or scarcity. What if encounter is not an occasional gift for a few, but the atmosphere we were created to breathe?

Teaching input will be blended with space for questions, conversation, prayer and response, so that theology and experience deepen one another rather than compete.
