Have you ever felt like your faith is becoming a bit… hollow? Like you’re going through the motions of “being a Christian” but feeling increasingly disconnected from the world around you? It’s a subtle drift, often moving us away from the messy, beautiful reality of people and into a sterile, private version of spirituality.
In this gathering, we explore a provocative idea: the danger of “excarnation” — the de-fleshing of our faith.
While religious professionals often seek holiness through distance, Jesus modelled “incarnate holiness” by moving into the neighbourhood and sitting with the very people others deemed unworthy. We hear moving, vulnerable reflections from members of our community on the challenges of forgiveness, the power of being truly known by God, and the simple desire to be the “friend in the ditch” rather than the bystander.
What if the church isn’t just a symbol of Christ, but a literal extension of His earthly body? Join us as we dive into Romans 12 to discover how your everyday, ordinary life — your eating, sleeping, and walking-around life — can become a primary expression of God’s presence in a polarised world. It’s an invitation to stop faking it and start living from the centre of who you are.
