Description

Among other things, the Ordinary Life class will focus on: 
• What it means to be alive and aware. 
• More on the gospel of Jesus than the Jesus of the gospels. 
• More on being the way than the way to be. 
• And on the principles and practices we can put in place in our lives to experience these things and not just know about them.
