VantagePoint3

Few invitations in Scripture are more beautiful than these:

"Come to me... and I will give you rest."

Jesus doesn't simply promise relief from our burdens. He invites us into a different way of living.

Eugene Peterson captures this beautifully:

"Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it... Learn the unforced rhythms of grace."

The Christian life is not something we master through determination or the right technique. It is a life learned in relationship with Jesus.

We have been saved by grace.

And, over a lifetime, we learn to live by grace.

This week, may you hear Jesus' invitation again—and find yourself keeping company with him.

In conversations with adults, certain questions surface again and again:

Who is God?
Who am I?
What does God desire to do through me?

These are not questions that can be rushed.

They unfold slowly—through reflection, conversation, and shared experience with others.

The Journey was designed to create space for these kinds of life-shaping questions.

If you’ve ever wondered what that kind of space could look like in your setting, we invite you to join us for a free online conversation: What is The Journey?

In this short gathering, you’ll see what a Journey group looks like and hear how leaders are creating trusted spaces where meaningful growth can take root.

We hope you’ll join us.

One of the assumptions that shapes everything we do is this:

God is already up to something good.

Our invitation is not to convince God to become active.

It is to learn how to recognize his presence, respond to his invitations, and join the good work he is already doing.

How might your perspective change if you began each day believing God was already at work?

If you are near the Chicago area and have wondered what VP3 and The Journey are about. Please join us on Friday, Aug 21, to learn more!

9 am-1 pm at Faith Church in Dyer, IN.

Intro to VP3: Welcome to The Journey - VantagePoint3 Inviting pastors, ministry leaders, and others who want to learn more about VP3 and our flagship discipleship process, The Journey.

The wisdom our world needs isn't always found in what's new.

Sometimes it is found in lives that have been faithfully shaped over decades.

There is a quiet lie that says there comes a point when our work is finished—that we've done our part and it's time to step aside. But Scripture tells a different story. Faith continues to deepen. Wisdom continues to grow. Love continues to bear fruit.

Whether you're entering this season yourself or grateful for someone who has modeled faithful living over many years, this newest At the Table reflection is an encouragement to see later life not as retirement, but as a new season of God's calling.

Read "A Word to the Wise: You Are Not Finished."

If you’re already tending sacred conversations and helping others pay attention to God in their lives, At the Table offers weekly reflections to nourish you in that work—thoughtful essays, spiritual practices, and mentoring insights that strengthen your own formation.
