Memory can shape or be shaped:

“‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

Deeper In.....

Cultural Practices

Communities of Truth

Seeing Jesus through Blind Bartimaeus' Eyes:

  • Jesus gets close to others--especially the broken--especially to me!
  • He changes narratives:
  • from judgement to love
  • from exclusion to inclusion
  • He creates hope
  • He is willing to do uncomfortable things

Stevenson:

  • Get close
  • Narrative
  • Hope
  • Risk

Traditional Pedagogy

Deeper In through the Morning Meetings:

  • Sets a tone for respectful and engaged learning in a climate of trust

  • Builds and enhances connections among students and between students and teachers

  • Merges academic, social, and emotional learning

  • Motivates students by addressing the human need to feel a sense of significance and belonging, and to have fun

  • Through the repetition of many ordinary moments of respectful interaction, enables some extraordinary moments

People of Story...

"What do you want me to do for you?"

  • How might Christ be revealing his Kingdom to you, even through your own personal story?

  • How can he empower you to lead others into experiencing His story for them too?
  • "Deeper in..." love: of self, others, Yahweh
  • "Further out..." flourishing: community, city, planet

When I arrived at their home it was exactly like I thought it would be, I was overcome with emotion and I broke down. But, I broke down in the arms of people who were broken and oddly it healed me. Going to Jordan’s house and talking to her parents was a turning point in my life. I talked to them about how they deal with pain, how I should deal with pain, we talked about her life, her stories. But there was something that afternoon that changed my life completely. The guilt that I was feeling and thought only Jordan would be able to answer; Jordan’s parents answered for me. . . . And at that very moment I broke free. They snapped my bounds in half, they set me free. I am forever thankful that they were just able to tell me what I didn’t reply to, it was exactly what I needed.

A couple weeks later after my visit with Jordan’s parents my Writers Craft class decided that we were going to lead our teachers in a group devotion. The topic of the devotion was pain. I was so thankful for the experience to be able to share my story with the teachers of my school. It was one of the most satisfying experiences I have had. They listened, they asked questions, they learned, I learned, it was fantastic. Afterwards, I had a conversation with a couple teachers about what they were going through, their struggles.

If it wasn’t for this class, I would probably still be bound by my locks and chains but this class gave me my opportunity to be freed. I full well believe God planned these struggles to make me stronger and to learn a lesson. The point of class is to learn, and learn I did.
