Perhaps the hardest part of faith is realizing we’ve often inherited a version of God that’s way too small.

Too certain.
Too manageable.
Too reductionistic.

As A.W. Tozer once wrote, our real idea of God may be buried beneath the “rubbish” of religious assumptions.

What if God is more beautiful, mysterious, and present than we imagined?

Join us this Sunday as we begin our summer series:
The Great Divide — Moving From Anxiety and Avoidance to Secure Attachment With God

This Sunday (5/31), we start this 3-week summer series!

Some leadership lessons aren’t fully learned until they’re lived.

We hear truthful axioms all the time… yet many don’t really hit home until we experience them firsthand… often through failures, pressure, and painful mistakes.

So why share leadership lessons beforehand?

Because when those disorienting leadership moments inevitably come, remembered truth can become a steadying grace in the middle of the storm. What once sounded theoretical suddenly becomes deeply personal… and deeply anchoring.

Even our suffering can become a place of communion: another way of encountering our cross-carrying Lord, who leads us not only in victory, but through weakness, endurance, and gritty love.

True or false?

For a leader to be an authentic speaker for God, they must first go through several crucibles in order for their credibility to become genuine.

What do you think?

This notion can challenge us.

But the truth is... it’s true.

There’s something about walking through valleys that authenticates one’s with-ness with God.

And as you experience this with-ness, you just might have something to say.

Join us this Sunday as W.E.
discuss this withness-witness
… AND eat some tacos afterward.

Isaiah 49:18
“Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather and come to you.
As surely as I live,” declares the Lord,
“you will wear them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.”

We all struggle with beauty. The desire to be beautiful points to a deeper desire… to be known, valued, and appreciated.

There is a deep mystery in God’s design: our children are part of what makes us beautiful. These young disciples are the best ornaments we can wear. And as we teach them to love Christ, there is a beauty formed in us that surpasses anything skin cream, weighted vests, or keto diets could ever offer.

As we continue teaching these young disciples to love Jesus, we begin to enjoy a beauty that is truly wonderful and good.

Moms, we love you. We see you loving Christ and teaching these young people to do the same—and it’s beautiful.

It’s funny how this truth still holds true:

Sometimes what we think will land… doesn’t. AND what we’re unsure about ends up speaking deeply.

It’s a sweet, humbling reminder.

With important conversations, we do our part… but it’s not up to us. The Holy Spirit is the One who leads, speaks, and awakens hearts—even when we forget the Spirit is at work.

So this Sunday (5/3), let’s remember again… together.

Let’s come expectant… not because of music, a message, or a gathering, but because God Himself meets with His people.

Be the reason Sundays feel like home.

Less is more.
Bittersweet.
Winning by losing.
Power in surrender.

Culture knows the language of paradox.

But God doesn’t just speak in paradox…
He is the answer to it.

The Good Shepherd and the
Passover Lamb Who speaks:

The first become last.
We lose our life to find it.
Strength shows up in weakness.

What sounds like contradiction…
might actually be truth.

This Sunday: the foolishness of God…
wiser than anything
we call wisdom.

Divisions are everywhere today… so what can truly unite us?

In this small portion of Scripture below, we’re reminded of the only thing strong enough to bring a divided people together.

True community isn’t built on similarity, opinions, or preference.
It’s formed through a common unity:

Our shared, desperate need for Jesus.

When the cross is central, unity follows.  
When anything else takes its place, division isn’t far behind.

“...that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought… For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.”
— 1 Corinthians 1:10, 17
