Spiritual Collectives Fall 2025

The Quiet Work: Living the Fruit of the Spirit

This collective centers on the sacred invitation of Galatians 5:22–23 to cultivate the inner life of the Spirit. Each meditation will gently explore one or two of the nine spiritual fruits—such as love, joy, peace, or self-control—not as personal achievements, but as evidence of God’s quiet work within us. This series will consider how Spirit-bearing lives resist the chaos of the world with grace, maturity, and a deep rootedness in divine presence.

Spiritual Collective FAQ

  • Spiritual Collectives offer you the opportunity to cultivate Holy Listening, a practice of listening to God's voice in scripture, daily life, and community, helping you find peace, purpose, and a deeper connection with both God and others. 

    Each collective houses an intimate setting of 5-8 people, who come together weekly for 6 weeks (in-person or online) to practice holy listening. We learn to pray in a way that feels genuine and effortless, allowing your connection with God to flow naturally.

  • [REFLECTION]

    Each week you’ll receive an original scripture meditation video around the theme. To help you integrate the scripture into daily life, we've included a Spiritual Inventory. It is a set of questions to guide your reflections for the week.

    Set aside time each day to review the passage, meditate, and listen for God's whisper.

    [HOLY LISTENING]

    During the weekly 60-minute group meeting, we come together to practice "Holy Listening." 

    We will share our insights in response to two main questions: 

    • What is God saying to me? 

    • What will I do about it?

    In the group, we will take turns sharing our thoughts. As a group, we will listen without judgment or commentary. The space is designed for gentle accountability and support.

    Our Spiritual Collective is not a Bible study or discussion group. It is a sacred space to deepen your awareness of God's voice in everyday life. Our facilitators, from curious seekers to seasoned Christians, will guide you. They will lead you through Scripture meditations. The meditations blend ancient wisdom, modern views, and artful thoughts.

  • Main Questions

    • What is God saying to me?

    • Are there actions you feel challenged to change or lean deeper into?
