Postures and Practices of a Jesus-Centred Church in Post-Christian Canada

Join us for another episode of our Practitioners Series where we learn how Jesus-centred churches are seeking to be on mission with Jesus. More and more in North America and Europe, the Church and Christianity are seen as irrelevant, insular, and offering little to make life better for secular communities. The message of Jesus is always good news, but churches can struggle making that good news relevant in their communities. The Tabernacle Christian Church (The Tab) in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada is quietly being good news to their city. We chat with Lead Pastor Frank Allen and Community Life Pastor Heidi Schaaf from the Tab about how the postures and practices they embody help them be good news for their secular community. We explore how they’re giving their building to their community, how they’re supporting drug-afflicted communities, at-risk youth, and Indigenous communities, stories of people becoming new Christians or rediscovering Jesus during COVID, and lots more.

Learning From Marginalized Jesus-Centred Voices Around the World

In the west, the Church cannot afford to be sheltered in privilege and ignore the challenges, victories, and kingdom creativity happening in Jesus-centred communities in the developing world. Putting Jesus at the centre means we must learn from our global and often marginalized brothers and sisters in how they're putting Jesus at the centre and the ways they're advancing kingdom creativity. Join us for a fascinating, challenging, and awakening conversation with César Garcia, the General Secretary of Mennonite World Conference (MWC). MWC is a global movement linked to the Radical Reformation, including Anabaptist and Anabapt-ish traditions, with a mission to connect churches around the world for community, learning, and resourcing. César is author of What Is God's Kingdom and What Does Citizenship Look Like? (Jesus Way: Small Books of Radical Faith) by Herold Press.

Being Jesus Centred in a Secular Age

Secularism as an ideology is influencing Christian thought and practice in the church more and more in the Western world. What does a Jesus-centred, counter-cultural way look like in a secular age? Where does the Gospel invite us to affirm secular culture and where does the Gospel invite us to become wary of the assumptions embedded in secular culture and the progressive or conservative versions of it? Join church planter & professor Brian Ross as we explore how to stay deeply rooted in Jesus as we lead and disciple in currents of Secularism.
