DESCRIPTION:The School of the Way is not a class for talking simply of corr
 ect beliefs—it is a space for cultivating courageous lives. Rooted in th
 e earliest name given to the followers of Jesus\, “the Way\,” this Thu
 rsday-night gathering is designed for those who are tired of faith that on
 ly sounds good but doesn’t show up. Here\, spiritual formation is not pa
 ssive or polite\; it is embodied\, disruptive\, and deeply communal.\nAt T
 he School of the Way\, we learn faith as a practice\, not a performance. W
 e wrestle with Scripture\, tradition\, and the Spirit in ways that move us
  from belief to belonging to becoming. This is a space for unlearning colo
 nial Christianity\, recovering insurgent discipleship\, and forming people
  who live the gospel publicly—through justice\, love\, resistance\, and 
 repair.\nThis pathway centers prayer\, story\, study\, and action\, ground
 ing participants in a faith that can withstand hard questions and hard tim
 es. We are forming people who walk with Jesus beyond church walls\, who ch
 oose solidarity over silence\, and who understand that following the Way h
 as always meant swimming against the current.\nThe School of the Way is fo
 r seekers\, skeptics\, survivors\, and saints—anyone ready to practice a
  faith that costs something and gives life.\nBecause the Way of Jesus has 
 never been about comfort. It has always been about transformation.\n______
 ______________________________________________________\nOur first Spring s
 ession will be facilitated by a new member of the Passion Center leadershi
 p team\, Rev. Dr. Gerardo de Jesús\, PhD on his latest book The Stuff God
  Is\, We Are Too! \nDescription of book: This book is an attempt to see G
 od everywhere and in everyone. I speak specifically to Nones and Latinx
 \, as well as others who have left the church in search of a greater depth
  to their faith. I seek to reimagine the meaning of sacrament inherited fr
 om colonial Christianity and make it personal and contextual\, a way of se
 eing that transforms how we see ourselves\, one another\, and our stewards
 hip of the earth. More than just a series of childhood church rituals\, wh
 ich for many holds little meaning\, I seek to reclaim the notion of sacram
 ent as a visible grace by turning to the ancient practice of contemplation
  as a faith-consciousness that helps us arrive at a new understanding of w
 hat a sacrament is-that is\, this book is about recovering a "sacramental 
 spirituality\," a place of inner awareness that helps us to see through ne
 w eyes. What you're looking at is where you're looking from\; and it's my 
 hope this book helps you to see again\, to respond to the diminished sanct
 ity of reality\, and to recover the divinity embedded in everything.\nPurc
 hase your book before we begin here.
