​Rod Mills

The Seven Pillars (Part 8) - NT Community & Spiritual Friendship - Rod Mills
In this teaching we deepen our understanding of the third pillar, New Testament community, by talking about a lifestyle of guild based living. In their early history, guilds were organizations for craftsmen or students of different disciplines. Their purpose was to help one another improve their craft and to sharpen that trade as a whole.
In this teaching on the third pillar, New Testament community, we talk about the heart of the great commandments and the heart of discipleship: spiritual friendship. This is how Jesus loved the disciples, cultivating deep, spiritual friendships with them. “Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.” Psalm 84:5

The Seven Pillars (Part 9) - New Testament Community & The Supernatural Nature Of Spiritual Friendship - Rod Mills

The Seven Pillars (Part 10)-New Testament Community & The Divine Pleasures Of God-Dwelling -
​Rod Mills
In this teaching on the third pillar, New Testament community, we dive deeper into the concept of spiritual friendship and it’s supernatural nature as opposed to natural friendship. True friendship requires God's presence and is sacramentally set apart in the kingdom of God.
As we continue to dive into the third pillar, New Testament community, we introduce this important truth: that the pleasures of loving and knowing God enter into our spiritual friendships with others. The spiritual practice of God-dwelling is the practice of dwelling in relational proximity to God. But it's lived out as group God-dwelling. The practice of dwelling with God within deep relationships with others.

The Seven Pillars (Part 14) - Obedience & Listening - Rod Mills 
 In this further teaching on the fourth pillar, obedience and listening, we discus the lost art and practice of followership. God sets us in families, to be spiritual fathers and mothers yes, but also to be followers of spiritual mothers and fathers.
There is extraordinary blessing in the relationship of obedience and submission we have to one another and to spiritual leaders in our lives. This life practice of spiritual leadership followership is a three fold braided cord: spiritual fathering and mothering; spiritual sonship; and generational transfer.

In this profound teaching expanding on the teaching of the fifth pillar, taking up the mantle of Elijah, we talk about the transition from a paradigm of success to a paradigm of legacy. The success paradigm is a life focus on our own success. The legacy paradigm is about the multiplication of the anointing of God in your life imparted into the lives of others.
