ethos groups
This is the place where there are no secrets (or at least a lot less than you typically have). This is the place where you feel safe, feel exposed, and feel comfortable with being uncomfortable. This is that place, with those people, who love you enough to challenge you, who love you enough to fight for your walk with Christ, and who love you enough to refuse to let you grow indifferent. These two or three people are your friends, your enemies, your brothers, your sisters, your life line. They are the ones who have the keys to your house….emotional, spiritual, and physical.
Ethos groups have no structure, no leader, no handouts. They are simply conversations, prayer, tears, and truth. There is nothing simple about them. They meet weekly, they meet daily, they meet always. They meet for an hour, an afternoon, a weekend, a semester. They meet for healing.
Accountability is not easy, and being so honest it hurts is never fun, but it is always freeing. At Resonate Church we want to be a people free from secret sins, free from troubled histories and free from those things that hinder our journey with Jesus. Freedom.lives in your ethos. You live in your ethos.
“Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate that the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin….. he who is alone with his sin is utterly alone.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
