Bridgetown Audio Podcast

From the series: Practicing The Way. We live in the age of self-help, therapy, and technique-obsession. Deep down, we all know we're broken and need to change. The question is, How? This week we begin our in depth look at the "how" of transformation. Through teaching we get a vision of the good life. Through practice, we align our loves and longings with those of Jesus.

From the series "Practicing The Way." How do we live like Jesus? How do we actually do what he did? As the church, we are called to not only follow Jesus in spirit but we are called continue his work on earth as it is in heaven. This means healing the sick, praying for the lost, opening up our homes and our lives to those far from God. The end goal is to do what he did. In this teaching, we explore the next steps in forming our lives around the practices of Jesus.

One of the most important teachings in the life our church: How do we change to become like Jesus? The promise of the New Testament is nothing short of full-on transformation, but so many of us feel a disconnect between that promise and our reality. Is change really possible? The answer is: yes, but the odds are, it's not what you think.

From the series "Practicing The Way." The first goal of apprenticeship to Jesus is to “be with Jesus.” But how do we “abide in the vine” in the chaos of the urban, digital world? It’s pretty straightforward: to experience the life of Jesus, we adopt the lifestyle of Jesus.

From the series "Practicing The Way." What does it mean to “follow” Jesus? To be a disciple, or apprentice, of the rabbi from Nazareth? In this teaching we explore a life built around three goals: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what he did. We also lay out a vision for our future at Bridgetown Church: practicing the way of Jesus, together, in Portland.
