In John Chapter Five of the New Testament, Jesus heals the man who had been unable to walk for 38 years. His conversation with this man, both before and and after he is healed, brings important insight into Jesus' work and His purpose to accomplish what God sent Him to do. Come and join us as we read, learn, and grow together!

Over 5,000 hungry people and no food--in John Chapter Six of the New Testament, Jesus encounters an enormous crowd of people who need dinner... and so much more. When people are hungry, they seek that which will fill them. Jesus shows both the crowds and His followers that what they need even more than three meals a day is the food that satisfies their soul. Jesus is the Bread of Life, and John 6 takes an close look at this truth. Come and join us as we read, learn, and grow together!

When God switched up the one language of the earth at Babel, it was enough to change the course of mankind from that point forward. Since then, the construct of language has been both a divider and a uniter across the globe.

As a Harvard Professor of Anthropology, Nicholas Harkness takes the scholarly approach to the question of language and tongues, both as an individual study, and as a part of the greater understanding of speech and communication. Glossolalia is a great opportunity to learn about the subject, not only as it has been experienced in South Korea, but as part of the broader discussion of languages and communication around the world.

What can a non-religious Philly mechanic teach an Ivy League researcher about the impact of religious meditation? According to Dr. Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman, the answer is a great deal!

After fifteen years of investigation into the neural mechanisms of spirituality, Dr. Newberg and Mr. Waldman have an emphatic message of impact for any person--Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, agnostic, or atheist: contemplative meditation practices used in spiritual and religious settings can bring benefit to anyone's brain--even the average, aging car mechanic from Philadelphia.

A book that focuses on both the "bigger picture" and the "nitty-gritty" of the research, How God Changes Your Brain seeks to give practical advice to those who would like to both increase their brain health and have a greater appreciation for the incredible design God has implemented in the brain!

We will meet to discuss the book on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 6:30 pm at Panera Bread, The Greene. Come join us!
