Description
Wellbeing
is at the very heart of the gospel but, in well-intentioned efforts to keep
activities running, are over busy churches simply burning-out and missing the
peace of Jesus?
Renewable Wellbeing reveals how re-discovering the Jesus way of wellbeing is
our best hope for a tired church in a broken world. Examining episodes from
Jesus' life as seen in John's Gospel, Ruth Rice unpacks the five culture shifts
she believes the church needs today to renew wellbeing in our churches:
connecting with our identity, learning the new economy of the kingdom, getting
active in community, taking notice of simplicity in our habits, and giving in
renewable ways and sensing our call to serve.
