She wasn't sure about Jesus yet, but she kept showing up with a notebook full of questions — four or five every week.

She'd stick around after service, find someone willing to talk, and just ask.

That's what it looks like when someone is searching — and a community makes room for it.

Every Saturday, same question. "Am I going to see you at church tomorrow?"

Mikayla kept saying maybe. Darleen kept asking. Eventually the guilt built up and she showed up — just once, just to get her off her back.

That visit changed everything.

She asked God to prove himself real. Two weeks later, her dad called.

"Come move to Florida."

He didn't even ask. He just said it.

"I haven't sat in a pew since I was 8."

"I was definitely nervous. I didn't know what to expect."

An honest first Sunday at Alive — walking into a borrowed Adventist building, a smaller room than he was used to, kids running everywhere, and he hadn't sat in a pew since he was eight years old.

And then worship started.

Most of you watching have already been to Alive — you know what he's talking about. That authenticity doesn't depend on the size of the room or the size of the band.

If someone in your life has been "thinking about trying church again," this is the clip to send them. Tell them you'll save them a seat Sunday.

Relatable preaching that doesn't dodge hard truth.

Two things rarely show up in the same sermon: relatable AND honest about hard truth. At Alive, you usually get both.

Ryan doesn't dodge what's uncomfortable in Scripture, but he also doesn't preach over your head. You walk out knowing what the Bible just said — and what it looks like in your actual week.

And then someone walks up after service, asks your name, and offers to show you around. That's the whole vibe!

If you've been church-shopping, come this Sunday — we'd love to give you the same tour!

Biblical preaching. Board shorts welcome.

Roll in from a Sunday morning surf session — still salty, still in your trunks — and nobody's going to look at you twice. Then you'll hear preaching that actually opens the Bible.

That's the rare combo - Biblically rooted without being legalistic. Hard to find in the Daytona Beach area.

Know someone who's been quietly looking for a church that takes Scripture seriously without making them feel out of place? Send this their way!

Hey Alive family. We've got a treat for you! Pastor Nathan met with one of our college students and filmed a podcast episode. It's coming out this Saturday at 11:00 AM. We'll post a few clips over the next couple of days, but you're not gonna want to miss this first podcast episode.

CJ shares how Alive connected with him and resonated with him as a young person. We oftentimes think that what young people are looking for is polish, but what CJ was looking for was authenticity, and that's what he found at Alive.
