Access Reading Room: Volume One

What is the way forward for the Western Church and how did we get here? Who are we as followers of Jesus and what are we meant to be doing?

For years now the prophetic witness has gone forth declaring "the new wineskin". But what is it? Many have been feeling an internal pull, a holy discontentment born of hunger, not rebellion. This hunger has emerged with a hope that the ekklesia Jesus said He would build and that He gave His life for would be so much more than organizations, events and buildings. There is a hunger to see healthy, transformed believers empowered to do the work of their ministries, belonging to spiritual family. A church with order and health, yet without control. A church with leadership that selflessly works together across regions, instead of isolated organizations. A church centered on Jesus, instead of brands or individuals. A gospel that brings redemption to the earth, not escape from it. 

The way forward is not simply behaving more like Jesus, mimicking Acts 2 or changing our leadership structures. It's allowing something much deeper and more costly to take place; union. The way forward has never been a method, it has always been a person. Jesus is taking all who are willing to go with Him to a deeper place in Himself. We must allow The Word to become flesh in us, which will inevitably change our ways, our methods and our structures. God is merging the divided streams to produce one powerful river flowing from a body that is unified in Him alone. Do we hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church?

  • "This book is a guiding light for many within the Body of Christ. Through the sharing of her real and deeply personal story, she invites us into a profound journey of transition—from a place of structure, familiarity, love, and faithful dedication into the wilderness of transformation. A place few have been, yet many are being called toward. This is essential reading for all who are on pilgrimage with the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. It is an honest and courageous expression of inner processing, faith, surrender, and becoming."

    —Libby

  • "Vulnerable and powerful challenge to take up a new wineskin. For anyone sitting in church vaguely wondering if this is fully what Jesus had in mind, read this book. If the Holy Spirit is prompting you to step into something new, read this book. If you been touched by Rhema's spiritual ministry or impressed by the power she walks in, read this book. I was crying after the first paragraph. Highly recommended. "

    -Darren

  • "I have read many Christian books over the years, but Rhema’s was one of the very few where she refused to stand on a pedestal and was authentic and real about what her journey has looked like. So many parts of it would have resonated with so many people who deeply love Jesus but feel like the current Church isn’t reflecting His glory. Can’t wait for next month!"

    —Tanya

  • "I’m not sure where to even begin. I guess the first thing I’ll say is that Rhema has put words to an experience /season that has felt so foreign and isolating. Having her put words to it was such an encouragement that God is in fact doing something even when everything I feel tells me otherwise. I’ve also really enjoyed a kind of “state of the union/church” address from Rhema that in no way felt critical. It truly feels like an honest assessment rooted in love from someone also willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work. So refreshing."

    —Shell

  • "What an amazing journey with God I went on while listening to you read! It has been like a massive summary of many internal and external struggles I myself went through, heard from someone ahead in the journey casting a light of hope onto an intense season full of unexpected moves and sufferings. Listening to your personal journey I felt such a sense of "belonging", to a body, to a family, to a company of people called for a greater purpose. At a certain point while you were reading, I saw in my mind a scene from Lord of the Rings and the sense of purpose that came upon Frodo understanding how his life was going to be completely derailed to be part of the fellowship that would bring destiny into play. This is truly the hour to respond to what you beautifully laid out. I'm so grateful to God that allowed me to bump into your ministry, you guys are such a compass in this hour. "

    -Francesco

  • "There was such a deep stirring in my spirit while listening to Rhema and Steve’s journey. Some of it I didn’t have words for, just tears. I am beyond thankful for Rhema being willing to stand and share the truth of her journey and while not common it is definitely needed. We don’t often see the struggle in other people’s lives as intimately as she shared in her book, but we’re living it feeling like we’re wandering through with many questions. I spent hours worshiping God in tears."

    -Marlena

  • "Rhema’s way of drawing you into her story while also teaching you is incredible. The content is so well thought out and it flows seamlessly together. Highly encourage it for anyone seeking the Lord in this season of transition for the Body!"

    -Melissa

  • "Attending Rhema Trayner’s reading of Paradigm Volume 1 was not my first reading room experience, but by far the most profound! Wow…this became far more than a literary event….it was a holy encounter. Rhema didn’t just read words on a page; she invited us into the very process of what it means to be a yielded vessel to the Lord. As she shared, something shifted within me, a genuine paradigm shift in my own soul."
