For we are not simply passengers on the vessel. We are the crew. We are the ship. (And we are the ocean too). As we ride the winds and the currents leading us into the future, we are all vital and necessary—as the nature of God is to incarnate and express among and through us.
We not only worship a God-Beyond-Us or are devoted to a God-Beside-Us. We are called to live into God-Being-Us as an act of worship.
What does it look like to worship the divine in us?
Read MoreFrom the beckoning of our invitation, in divine participation, to WeCreating, we have moved with the breath of becoming, the communal breath of life, breathing in and as the mystical body of Christ.
And now, in the simplicity of our being, we might open and rest into the gentle breeze of being, here and now. Just breathe. Just be.
Read MoreOur breath is the most fundamental rhythm of life. Each inhale is an inflow, and each exhale is not just release but a giving back—to nature, to the world, to life. Every breath is shared with all creation, part of the cosmic and communal breath of existence.
Read MoreIn order to WeCreate, we have to do it together. We will not be able to create the necessary future unless it is coming from more than collections of efforts from singular individuals.
This is an extensive barrier we face, especially in modern society where so many of the systems we live and operate in exist to divide and isolate us. These systems feed the rampant egotism and narcissism that are the result of consumerism and materialism.
Read MoreThe beckoning we have opened up to these last weeks is our divine participation. To living a spirituality that embraces and engages in our divine being and becoming in this life, even today. Rather than heaven being a transcendent escape or deferred reality, we are invited to inhabit the realm of God here and now.
From the essence of the teachings of Jesus, we do this by abiding and attending.
Read MoreIn our rhythms of evolution, we engage in processes of Becoming to catalyze and further inhabit together who we truly are, our divine being, as God is beckoning us here and now.
Read MoreThis is the full calling of our divine participation. To be the living and moving mystical (holistic) Body of Christ becoming today. To co-create with God the necessary future and spiritual becoming of heaven on earth. To be enlivened in the here and now to live into the fullness of this life, with all the glory and all the grief, and all that is being beckoned and begged for by a hungry and thirsty world.
This is what I mean by “WeCreating the future of Christianity and the world”—which I believe is the vital calling of our time for followers of Jesus and the Christ-way.
Our lives are not about what comes next, but about actively engaging in the loving transformation of ourselves, our communities, and the planet now.

A new process for ICN Saturday emails for transformation, evolution, and WeCreating
Practices to help us move in our evolving faith journey.
Read MoreWeCreating is about being an active part of bringing forth heaven on earth, in the here and now. We might also call that the work/play of loving evolution—a divine process of ongoing creation and holistic becoming.
In our divine participation, we are called to be co-creators of the new heaven and new earth—which is not a separate realm or distant future, but an integrative becoming and emergence in this world, in this life together. In this way, we become evolutionaries, those actively participating and contributing to loving evolution of the world, WeCreating the future.
