About The Course

Five Transformative Values that Root Us in the Way of Jesus.

Following Jesus in our world can be a challenge. Our pace can be too frenetic to be in union with God, and we often don’t know how to quiet our hearts and minds to be present with him. But God calls us into a life of purpose in communion with him. Join pastor and author Rich Villodas in this five-session series as he teaches us five practices that will take us from simply “being Christians” to being deeply formed by Christ.
