If holiness is not just what we avoid, but what we embody—if the gospel is not only a story we tell, but a life we live—then the question in front of us isn’t “Do we agree with this?” but “What would it look like to actually practice it together?”
Furthermore, the church does not become an alternative social reality by accident. It happens when ordinary people, in ordinary lives, choose to live in the Way of Jesus with intentionality. Not perfectly. Not performatively. But deliberately.
In light of our focus on the practice of Witness, we’re calling the church to lean into a radical, alternative, counter-cultural practice.
Practices that quietly but clearly ask the world around us a question: Why do these people live this way? We’re asking everyone, or every family, to practice one of the following all February:
Radical Hospitality
Sabbath Keeping
Intentional Generosity
Peacemaking and Reconciliation
Witness: Radical Hospitality
We can define the word hospitality very simply: it’s Welcoming the Stranger.

Witness: Peacemaking & Reconciliation
Peacemaking and reconciliation are at the heart of the gospel. God did not wait for us to move toward Him—He moved toward us in Christ.
