REFRAME COURSE RESOURCES

Welcome to the ReFrame Course!

ReFrame is a 10 week video series designed to dramatically expand both our understanding of the gospel storyline, and the unique part that God’s called each of us to play within that story. It provides a unique opportunity to think, reflect, and apply the gospel in ways that few of us may have done in the past. The goal is not simply to see the gospel story more clearly, but to be so formed by that story that the whole of our lives are transformed by it. God’s desire is not only to redeem our hearts and minds, but to infuse the relationships, resources, and stewardships of everyday life with a new sense of eternal purpose and vision.

Because the course was produced within a seminary context, it may at times feel a bit academic. Some concepts may even challenge our assumptions and stretch our thinking. We hope that this process of “gospel re-imagination” is a stimulating one that produces a growing sense of awe in the scope of God’s mission in the world, and joy in responding to our individual callings to both reflect and declare the reign of Christ wherever we are, and in whatever we do.

Like any resource, the Reframe Course is imperfect. Please know that there may be concepts within the material that you or even our pastors may not fully agree with. That said, we believe that there is much to benefit from within the material. Differing opinions on secondary issues should not be a source of disruption, but a normal part of engaging the broader Body of Christ beyond our uniquely familiar church circles. If you have questions, please feel free to clarify any issues with a pastor.

As a church, and as individuals, we are on a journey together, discovering and engaging our place in God’s mission. May the ReFrame Course serve us to that end; that we may see the grand story of the Gospel with new eyes and fresh faith. May our sense of mission move from good intentions to focused reality, as we engage the people, places, and callings that God has entrusted to each of us for his great glory in our unique moment of church history.

With much gratitude,
Bob
