Change of Perspective
By Daniel. Filed in Family, Nikki |
It has been some time since we posted. I am sure you are wondering if we have fallen off the face of the earth. Trust me that’s not the case. We have just been packed full of activities and getting into a new rhythm. In fact, one of those activities I want to share with you right now.
As many of you already know, Nikki decided some time ago to leave the CBF of GA and stay at home with Natalie. This has been a wonderful, yet challenging transition. The time Nikki has had with Natalie has been a blessing. At the same time, Nikki has also found something to keep her involved in ministerial life. In my eyes, she has found a little niche that fits her perfectly.
I have been blessed to find a beautiful woman, but also one that has a great mind. The thing that I have always loved about her preaching is that she would always bring out new perspectives and fresh ideas on biblical texts that I had never thought about before. Even texts that I have heard preached on hundreds of times. That’s why I love her new project and wanted to share it with you.
Currently she is the face and writer behind a new form of discipleship media. She is working with Faithelement.com to create background material for Sunday School classes or small groups. The material is provided free of charge but is supported by donations and sponsors. I encourage you to check them out and spread the word if it is something you find meaningful.
Nikki provides the background information and research through a short video while other writers provide a variety of other material to accompany it. When we look at new ways to approach our beliefs, I believe this will be one of those channels that people will gravitate towards.
If anything, use it for your own meditations and growth as Nikki does what I love and brings a fresh pair of eyes to biblical texts. Check out the links below and like I said….spread the Word. I hope to post new videos as the become available. (Did I mention she is in HD…for me that’s just cool.)
Faith Element Home Page – provides full explanation of what they are trying to accomplish.

The June 6th video….(includes a blooper reel! See if you can find the moment where Natalie interrupts the filming.)
I hope everyone is going great! Thanks again for all your support!
Daniel

I use her stuff every time I’m in charge for Sunday School. The trouble is, she’s IN the SS class, so I also have to get cozy with Bruce Metzger. I so love being in a church where you have to look at 2 commentaries before teaching sunday school!
