The DISTRICT will be presenting at Assembly 26 about Bi-vocational missions and ministry requiring a team — really a Community of Practice (CoP). We organize the core of our DISTRICT team using the APEST Equipping Gifts framework. Attached is a PDF which shows how our gifting maps out: where we have over-lap coverage and where members…

I had a chance to Talk with @Etcetera as we sat in the house: https://radicalnow.org/community/groups/eco/forum/discussion/with-the-economic-heart-of-god/

@Etcetera and I were talking tonight about the importance of WITH: doing life, pushing mission, and solving big problems with God.

I shared how John 15:1-11 says the heart of life with God (abiding) is keeping Yeshua’s and the Fathers commands out of love (v. 10). This is the heart of the Gospel of the Kingdom and true faith (Mark 1:15).

So if we…

My personal practice of Revelation Rhythm happens very organically — that is as-needed, woven into conversations, ponderings, research and writing, and other activities throughout my day. This has worked well with my frequently irregular schedule, but it hasn’t been so great for my family — especially my children.

While praying about this…

Thanks for these notes on the activities!

Wow, very exciting to hear that you were able to do all those activities! The feedback on how they went is great, and I’m glad that the Mind’s eye Map and Journal activity were especially fun. I like those two the most too 🙂 I would love to see any maps that you’ve drawn, if you would like to share them.

For the nickel navigation, I’m…

I really like your App. Since I use my phone most of the time, the App is more useful then visiting your website on my computer.

One issue I’m having: it seems hard to select text when I’ve written a paragraph in a post on the forums and group discussions. Sometimes, the cursor jumps in the editor to someplace other than what I’m…

I have an old iPad mini (first generation) running iOS 9.3.5. When I tried to install your App, there was an issue. Can I install the App on my iPad?

What are my other options. I’m posting to this discussion using my iPhone 11 which seems to work well.

Thanks for your help!

This is really encouraging. I think I’m going to try this out for my end-of class party.

This website might be useful to this discussion. https://bulkhempwarehouse.com/hempcrete-101/

Brain health has gained a special place in my heart. Both of my parents had dementia before passing away. I understand what it’s like to lose someone twice; once before they die and when they die. This also concerns me as I’m aging, because I don’t want my children to have to go through what I went through with my parents. The big question in…

@bopbop made a suggested follow-up questions that we could put on the group text: “What kind of blocks do you encounter as you write?”

One of our teens is finishing up a Creative Writing class as the school year ends. It’s been a pretty cool experience. We had an idea to have an end-of-class experience, partly because we want to see if the relationships and friendships could continue through the summer and beyond.

When it comes to Kingdom thinking, relationships are important…

We’re very interested in hemp-crete as a building material and insulation, but before we add it to our model, we need to get cost numbers and compare with other materials.

@Etcetera and I and some friends are interested in exploring small/tiny homes. While we’re interested in less-toxic and sustainable construction, our main driver is affordability. A big driver for this is our own cases:

• What does it look like for a young person to live a local and rooted like without huge debt that requires consuming…

As an example of how laws are changing concerning minors and social media, New York State Senate Bill S7695A recently signed into law requires obtaining informed consent from the parents of any minor who will provide personal data for any purpose not strictly involved in the delivery of a requested product or service.

We’ve completed these activities: Mind’s Eye Map, Cardinal Directions, Simon Says, Nickel Navigation and Journal Activity.

Mind’s Eye Map was really fun. it is good for all ages and good for rainy days.

Cardinal Directions is good for all ages but might feel boring for teens that have done it already. We did this activity outside on a sunny…
