2020-2021 Intern Program

Jane Lewis’ Internship

September 01, 2020 to July 31, 2021

Hello! Thank you so much for visiting this page. I'm glad you're here! I am absolutely thrilled and honored to be one of the Flatirons interns this year. Since being introduced to this church through Controlled Chaos as a middle schooler in 2010, I have always wanted to dive a little deeper and experience church ministry myself. There is no better fit than spiritual formation--becoming more like Jesus and living life in the freedom He offers is something I feel very passionate about. The mens and womens weekend and group experiences offered have profoundly shifted my own life and the lives of many whom I love. The work I will be doing partnered with the Spiritual Formation team can be explored in further detail via the following two links: www.liminalwork.com https://www.flatironschurch.com/spiritual-formation/ This work seeks to aid in the process of becoming more like Jesus through growth and community. In the end, we hope that our lives look very different than the life we lived before (Matthew 7:24-25, Romans 6:4). Men and women are able to join an initial group (a formation group) to learn about more tools in their toolkit of life, then can choose to continue in an ongoing group or join others on a weekend away. It is not "easy" work, but no transformation happens in the easy! It aims to go a little deeper, ask the harder questions, and bring freedom and redemption to dark places of our lives. I am looking forward to this journey of continually growing in my own abilities and awareness, as well as having the opportunity to link arms with others who are getting to experience it themselves! I very much believe that the Lord is using this work to heal many in not only our church community, but communities everywhere. His ability to transform lives through this work is not bound by what we do; He leads people to this work (like He did with me!). If you are interested in partnering with me financially, please know that I am SO GRATEFUL! This work requires more than just myself, it is a community effort and mine is one of the best. I need to raise a total of $12,000 or $1,000 per month of my internship. I would be happy to sit down for coffee (when we're able) or chat over the phone to give you more information and to share with you the passion I have for this work! If you are able to partner with me through prayer at this time, I am also incredibly grateful to be covered there. One of my favorite quotes is by J.I. Packer: "Those who know anything about their God are those who pray." (paraphrase) Thank you so much for stopping by. . . *Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic landscape and the unknowns around that, should Flatirons determine that the 2020-2021 intern program is cancelled, all donations to members of the 2020-2021 intern class will be refunded to donors once the decision to cancel has been made. If the internship for this class (2020-2021) moves forward, but an intern withdraws from the program, donations to that intern are not eligible for refund.**
