Transformation 2021

Church of Theseus

Too often, faith is reduced to an intellectual exercise. But Jesus pressed for transformation, change so dramatic it was described as 'resurrection' or 'rebirth'. What does it look like for us to pursue this sort of new life here at Catalyst in the coming year?

From Series: "Church of Theseus"

An ancient Greek thought experiment asks us to imagine a ship that, over the years, has every plank and mast replaced. When there's no more original wood left, is it the same ship? Catalyst has changed a lot over the last decade. Despite all the changes, what defines us as a church? And what does that mean for our future?

Star Wars. Avatar. Up. When a story resonates with so many people it becomes a blockbuster, we should ask, “Why? What is it about this film that resonates with us?” People of faith can gain a window into desires of our culture, and we can discover how the Spirit is at work, that we might join in!

What can we learn about faith by interacting with the stories our world loves?
