This week we kick off a series of discussions on the book Emotionally Healthy Discipleship by Peter Scazzero. We are happy to welcome back special guest Emily Hanson to set up the framework of the book by talking us through some background on six streams, or traditions, of Christianity that have shaped the history of the church. 

Discussion:

We’ll be looking at six traditions. And if you want to learn more about each of these, Richard Foster’s book Streams of Living Water is a good place to start.
