Experiencing God “above” us: focus on God’s creation with a
high view of knowledge, science and art
Experiencing God “among” us: focus on
evangelism, discipleship, and serving
the needy
Experiencing God “within” us: focus on intimacy with God, spiritual power, and
emotional health
Col 128 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

Jer 295 “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
