Counter-Formation | The Formation Machine | Phil EuBank Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

We’ll delve into the importance of spiritual practices in resisting cultural pressures and being formed by Christ. We'll discuss practices such as Sabbath, solitude, and community as essential for slowing down and creating space for God. Colossians 2:8 will guide us in understanding the importance of being rooted in Christ rather than in hollow and deceptive philosophies.

Culture's Curriculum | The Formation Machine | Phil EuBank Feb 09, 2025

Show notes

We live in a culture that feels like the terms and service agreement; we don’t read it before we accept it, and before we know it…it’s too late to change our mind. This week will focus on the subtle and pervasive ways culture shapes our thinking and behavior. We’ll explore the daily systems around us as major forces of spiritual formation; we'll explore how media, technology, and societal norms influence us more than we might realize. We'll look at Paul's admonition in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Accepting God's Power | Baptism Sunday | Phil EuBank Feb 02, 2025

Show notes

At a time when separation between groups of people based on their religious customs and traditions was normal and embraced, the early church saw God moving in everyone, regardless of their background. We will be challenged to see God’s capacity for that change in all of us today.

Deploy | Menlo Midweek | Jevon Washington, Mark Morinishi Jan 29, 2025

Deploy | Startup Faith | Menlo Church Live Stream Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

Focus on the deployment and expansion of the early church through expansion. Highlight the importance of taking faith into the world and making a lasting impact. Sure, we can let our faith stay contained in our relationships and community, but aren’t we glad the early church didn’t do that? We can sellout to pressures around us and settle back into an earlier phase of development, or we can release the story of our own faith into the story God wants to write in others.

Develop | StartUp Faith | Phil EuBank Jan 19, 2025

Show notes

Startups can hit plateaus and so can we; the choice to stagnate or innovate is always ours to make. Examine the growth of the early church, including overcoming obstacles and expanding their reach. Emphasize the importance of perseverance, adaptation, and continued development in faith. What would happen if we weren’t willing to settle for safe in our pursuit of life and faith?
