Rhythms are the grooves in the record that allow the music of our lives to find expression. The record begins to skip when the rhythm is disrupted, but we can find ways to fix the vinyl. We are in a season where society as a collective has found their well-worn grooves skipping. Sometimes the disruption is a good thing; it creates space for us to make grooves and to rediscover old ones. One of the rhythms that we have at FōS is SOAP, a daily plan for reading the Bible and journaling our reflections. SOAP is an acronym that stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. If you want to join us in our rhythm of SOAP, you can find more information here (fos.church/soapdaily-readings). Our series over the next few weeks is called "The SOAP Sessions," and will consist of messages pulled from our daily reflections. 

This week Glenn leads us through a conversation about learning to let go of our need for control and learn to lead from trust and vulnerability.

Formational Learning:

(Head)

  • Paul leads from a place of weakness and vulnerability as he addresses the people in Corinth, what does leading from weakness and vulnerability look like for Paul?

(Heart)

  • Can you name a time you needed to address conflict?

  • What is different when I invest myself into community starting with vulnerability rather than control or defense?

(Hands)

  • How do you empower yourself or others to face uncomfortable conversations from a place of vulnerability?
