Resources
Jesus Brand Spirituality was written in the context of ongoing conversation regarding faith in Jesus, a.k.a. a church community.
Before it became a book, the material found it’s way into many sermons, and eventually, a Newcomers Class that also serves as a new members class, which in turn included a small group discussion component.
So the resources in this section have been field tested to some extent within an actual faith community.
If you end up using any of these resources, I’d love to hear from you: why you thought they might be useful, whether and how you found them to be so, and what changes you made to make them more useful. That would be invaluable input that could make this section more helpful to more people.
The resources loaded here are as follows:
Newcomers Class
The Introducing Jesus Brand Spirituality class serves as a newcomers class and new members class.
Refresh Weekend
This retreat for the Newcomers Class provides some coaching to participants in exploring the contemplative dimension of Jesus brand spirituality.
Sermon Series
A four part sermon series that complements the perspectives of the book.
Group Discussion Guide
This is a discussion guide for the book to be used in book groups, or in small groups going through the Introducing Jesus Brand Spirituality class.
