It Starts with Desire
A wandering and eventful journey with God
Imagine an authentic relationship with God.
We have to sort out who God really is, letting go of inadequate and distorted images, and risking new possibilities.
This is friendship, not religion. It is not about knowing all the answers, having it all together, or anxiously performing to earn approval. It starts with God meeting us in the ‘mess of our unfixedness’ and calling us ‘Beloved.’
Welcome to Theodyssey, a made up word (aren’t they all?): a combination of theos, God, and odyssey, a wandering and eventful journey. We help others on their own wandering, eventful journey with God.
We do Christian spiritual formation, the messy but authentic process of being conformed to the image of Jesus for the sake of others. We partner with individuals, small groups, and churches to explore the possibilities of a transforming friendship with Jesus.
Are you longing for ‘something more’?
It starts with heart’s desire for ‘something more’: Sometimes a brassy, unruly longing; or a reluctant inner stirring; or a quiet dissatisfaction when life is going well.
