In this message, Andy invites us to reflect on Jesus’ words in John 15 to “remain” or “abide” in Him. Following Jesus is more than learning information or holding the right beliefs—it’s about allowing His life to form our desires, habits, and everyday rhythms.

Throughout church history this has often been described as a “rule of life”—not a list of rigid rules, but intentional practices and patterns that help us stay connected to Jesus. The truth is that every one of us already has rhythms shaping our lives. The question isn’t if we have them, but what they are forming in us.

As we continue exploring the Way of Formation, this teaching invites us to slow down, notice the habits and patterns of our lives, and begin asking the Holy Spirit what they may be shaping in us.

In this message, we explore the practices of taking daily inventory and confession as part of the deeper journey of spiritual formation. Hebrews 12 reminds us that sin is anything that entangles us and keeps us from running the race with perseverance, with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Rather than seeing sin only as bad behavior, Scripture reveals that it runs much deeper—touching our habits, our motives, and even the attachments we build our identity around.

Formation isn’t fast. It’s the slow, intentional work of becoming like Jesus from the inside out. In this message, we explore how one of the deepest places God forms us is in the middle of our pain — not by avoiding it, but by meeting Him honestly in it.

Jesus doesn’t rush past sorrow. He enters it with us. When we slow down and bring our real emotions into God’s presence, even our pain can become a doorway to healing, deeper faith, and true transformation.
