Schedule
Spokane – Session 1
“Jesus has given you his own eyes. Hold no secrets from Jesus, and you will see everything with his eyes.” ― C. Baxter Kruger, Patmos: Three Days, Two Men, One Extraordinary Conversation
Spokane – Session 2
"I want to tell you about the God that actually showed up and healed my heart. Not the God I grew up with, because the God I grew up with was fundamentally... schizophrenic, narcissistic, unreachable, and unknowable. My concept of Jesus was -- He likes me -- but He came to save me from this angry, distant, and unreachable God, who was his Father. That framework, all of it, had to come crashing down in order to find healing for my soul." -WM. PAUL YOUNG
Spokane – Session 3
"God is relationship. There is something deeper in his essence as Father, Son, and Spirit than just doing the morally right thing all the time. They are completely, head over heels, in love with each other. And it is out of that relationship, from which everything flows, we find the reason for his creating of you and me. God loves in freedom because that is the way he is. There is no other way of being for him."
