Sunday – Online Gathering
We held our second Exile Online Gathering, exploring Jeremiah 29 and what it means to live faithfully in exile.
We talked about how exile isn’t simply about what we’ve left behind, but about what God may be inviting us to build next.
Not just, “What did you leave?” but “What are you going to build now?”
We’ll share the podcast from our gathering in two weeks so you can join the conversation!
Spotlight Introduction
This week, we introduced Spotlight, an exciting new part of Exile focused on sharing people’s stories and finding meaningful ways to demonstrate care.
In the first of a two-part conversation, I sat down with my longtime friend Dave Baldwin, who shares his personal faith journey and how a simple act of kindness grew into a ministry that helped furnish 34 apartments for Ukrainian families starting new lives.
Dave reminds us that following Jesus isn’t simply about what we know or believe, but how we put our faith into action. Sometimes that begins with noticing someone in need and having the courage to respond.
Next week, we’ll share Part 2 and explore how Spotlight will work through Exile—and how you can be part of it.
