God-Shaped
The Week of Spiritual Emphasis 2025
God-Shaped
An annual highlight that never fails to inspire, this year’s Week of Spiritual Emphasis (WOSE) is an invitation to connect with God, with your community, and within.
This week is an opportunity to explore topics that are spiritual, emotional, biblical, and relational. The talks, presented by gifted and passionate speakers, will challenge you and enable you to take the next meaningful step in your own personal development journey.
This year's theme, God-Shaped, draws inspiration from The God-Shaped Brain, a book written by one of our very own speakers, Dr Timothy Jennings. Our dynamic speakers will be sharing a range of perspectives around God-shaped spirituality, mission, community, personality, and more.
We pray that these presentations will spark a rediscovery of how we might live in ways that are healthy, meaningful, and intentional.
