Chicago Fellowship Talks

Jon Houghton and Austin Carr have a candid conversation about the pursuit of Godly ambition.

There is much for followers of Jesus to endure in this life but sometimes our endurance can distract us from our love for one another. Jesus invites to return to the "love we had at first."

Jon Houghton teaches us how to turn our "right belief" that all people are created in the image of God into "right action"

Collin Hansen Editor in Chief at The Gospel Coalition shares lessons learned from the life of Tim Keller.

We now live in a world where thousands of businesses are competing every day for our most finite and valuable commodity—our attention. Skye Jethani examines the biblical concept of the Sabbath and why rest is more than a practical discipline for rejuvenation. It's about where we direct our attention to shape our lives.

Drawing on brain science, Skye Jethani explains why Jesus avoided making his communication and his community too easy, and why we need more resistance to grow as his followers.

The recording begins about 7 minutes into the talk due to a recording error—we apologize for any inconvience. We love efficiency—but there are areas in life where we actually need redundancy. Skye Jethani explains why redundancy used wisely can build communities and save lives.

How do we avoid leading in our own strength? In this talk, Jon Kelly reminds us that the stewardship of leadership should flow from our intimacy with Jesus. This is the distinguishing mark of a godly leader.

We confess that Jesus is Savior by faith by recognizing grace, rejecting fear, and responding to God.

Jon Houghton describes the three-step cycle of the Christian life: identity as God's Beloved, formation into Christlikeness, and working for the flourishing of others.
