Praxis, meaning “Action; practice.

Praxis is a series of one to four-week classes on various “Christian living” topics taught by different teachers throughout the year.

Upcoming Praxis class: God Owns It All

“God Owns It All” is a 6-session video study with author Ron Blue that tackles the money question we all ask: How much is enough? The answer to this question is found in God’s Word. Ron Blue presents financial principles that are affirmed by the authority of Scripture and tested by the marketplace. He knows that God’s principles work and are needed in our finances. These biblically based principles will equip us to approach money management and financial planning with freedom, generosity, contentment, and confidence. When we apply the biblical truths offered in this study, our finances will be ordered, our decisions will be simplified, and our experience will invite contentment in all areas of our lives. Ron Blue has over 40 years’ experience in the financial services industry.

PBC women are invited to “Making Decisions with Spiritual Confidence” with Liz Ditty, author of “God’s Many Voices: Learning to Listen, Expectant to Hear”

It’s hard to hear God’s voice in the constant clamor of life, and sometimes the divine whispers we hear are so quiet (and other voices so loud) it’s hard to know if the things we notice were even God speaking at all. Author and Spiritual Director Liz Ditty will lead us as we carve out an evening of quiet to listen for God’s voice in our life right now. What might He be saying to you?

We will consider healthy habits of noticing, what it looks like to live busy lives in the company of God, and how to determine if the signs, coincidences, or words we notice are from God or our own imagination. We’ll explore what it looks like to listen for God’s guidance through times of uncertainty and how His presence can give us peace in the decisions we make even when His voice seems silent.

Join us for an incredible opportunity to listen with one another and to one another. Cost is $15. Dinner will be provided.

Camp PBC is a unique opportunity to spend a week living together with brothers and sisters from the PBC family. We will spend time at beautiful Lake Siskiyou, near majestic Mt. Shasta, the fifth highest peak in California.

Camp PBC is a favorite for kids, who get to play outside all week. Camp PBC is open to people of all ages and stages of life.
