17 Aaron Niequist on Practice-based Faith

Aaron Niequist helps launch Season 2 of the Betwixt Podcast! In this episode, Aaron and I share a really beautiful conversation about how practice-based faith draws us into spaces that are ripe for transformation.Aaron is a liturgist, writer, and pastor. After leading worship at two of America’s largest mega churches, Aaron began to re-imagine what a discipleship-focused, contemplative, practice-based community might look like, and so he began The Practice - an experimental gathering in the Willow Creek Chapel. “Jesus did not say, ‘Here is the truth. Believe it.’ He said, ‘I am the truth. Follow me.’ The invitation is participation.” - Aaron Niequist Aaron is the author of the new book called The Eternal Current: How a Practice-Based Faith Can Save Us from Drowning. He’s also the creator of A New Liturgy- a collection of modern liturgical worship recordings, which you will get to hear throughout this episode.
