In our 16th episode, we’re talking about how our power and privilege can often lead to toxic theology and bad Bible reading. We'll look at how Jesus leveraged his power and privilege for the inclusion, affirmation, freedom, healing, salvation, and liberation for the people who were most marginalized, oppressed, abused, and rejected by society. Joseph shares a little bit about his journey with toxic theology and offers a few questions for those who might still currently hold to various forms of toxic theology, doctrine, or hermeneutics.

Essentially, it helps us dismantle my destructive rhythms and routines that prohibit us from pursuing life to the full and helps us live in alignment with our deepest passions, desires, and priorities In this episode, we both share a few of our goals for 2021 and give some tips on how to develop your own rule of life.

In our third episode, we’re going to share our individual and family goals for 2020. We’ll dive deep into the topic of Family Formation and answer our yearly question of “Who are we becoming by what we are doing?”
We frame our year with 2 Vision Statements each then talk about the 8 categories that frame how we set out to become more like Jesus. Each goal is specific and relates to our whole person- mind, body, spirit, soul. Those categories are: Spiritual, Marriage, Parenting, Health, Career, Finance, Time, and Relationships.
We end the episode by sharing how you can create your own 2020 Formation Goals! We've put together a worksheet filled with questions that will help you think about each category of your life and how you want to be formed into the image of Jesus through them!
