The community I am a part of sets aside the month of October every year to enter into an intentional time of discernment. This time has become so part of who we are, that the phrase ‘Discernmentober’ has become commonplace.

I live in a thirteen bedroom ex-Backpackers in central Wellington. Two and a half years ago, some of my friends at Blueprint Church and I decided to turn it into a community house. We cook together, keep a regular rhythm of prayer, host community dinners, and have spare rooms to offer to those who need a place to stay.
