Some Updates!

1. After the survey results, we’ve realized you all are busy and Fall is not a great time! So, we’re going to stick with the small group on Sundays and skip the Shine Bright Event for now. We’ll push it to Winter.

2. If you haven’t signed up for small group yet, no worries! We still want you to join us. Heck, even if you don’t sign up, you can still come. You can grab a copy of “Battlefield of the Mind” on Amazon for less than $10 HERE! I’m including the .pdfs of the study guide.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=battlefield+of+the+mind+amazon&hvadid=409975306476&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9058993&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=5471858603479252306&hvtargid=kwd-480262601677&hydadcr=6782_11102926&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_3qd36wun1u_e

3. Lastly, even though I hate self-promotion, I’m throwing this out in case anyone is interested. My Book Baby launches into the world on November 5th. My launch team is open, and pre-orders of the book opened on Amazon today! I’d love for you to join my launch team if you’re interested. This is the info I sent out to my email list today for anyone who might be interested (BUT, I totally understand if this is not up your alley! No worries! You can quit reading...)

You can pre-order the book HERE!

https://www.amazon.com/Breathing-Again-Finding-Navigating-Reconstruction/dp/B0DHJL2NKN/

BUT, if you’d like to go ONE STEP FURTHER and join my launch team, I’d love to have you!

I would love for you to join me as I launch my book Baby into the world.

You can join the launch team HERE!

Opportunities to win prizes every week as you complete tasks related to the launch

What I'll expect from you as a launch team member:

Don't stress about the social media shares. I'll provide you with the pictures and the copy for all of the social media shares.

You need to have a Facebook account

If you can't complete every task, that's okay! If you can commit to completing a couple of tasks a week, this would be a huge help.

The launch team will be active for 8 weeks. Every weekday during that time, I'll post giveaway information, videos, tasks, etc..

These tasks will only take a couple of minutes each to complete.

Once the launch team is active, I'll send you an email with all the instructions, but I'll also post everything in the Facebook group!

Not sure about joining? A little info about the book:

The struggle of faith deconstruction can look like some combination of a night in a rage room, weeks in therapy, and finding yourself stranded on a desert island. Now that you're through that part of your journey, you're probably no longer confident with how you fit in your old faith community, if you fit at all, or if you'll ever fit again. While you may feel like you have some things nailed down, you still have many questions about others. The process of deconstruction was daunting enough, but now you find yourself asking, "What now?" as you try to figure out where to go from here. You're wondering if you'll ever be able to fully breathe again.

There is hope, friend. Reconstruction might feel just as daunting to you as deconstruction. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Instead, you can navigate this process in a way that allows you to breathe freely as you find peace. For what may feel like the first time, Breathing Again will validate your feelings around deconstruction and reconstruction as you identify the catalyst for your deconstruction and what triggers might affect you in your reconstruction journey. You can go on to analyze the damaging tenets of your faith before deconstruction while gaining an understanding of your foundational beliefs, your individual faith, and your priorities for faith reconstruction.

During the reconstruction process, finding community can be challenging. By the end of this part of your journey, you'll better understand who your circle is and who it isn't. You'll also have a blueprint for what to do when you are ready to return to church or find a new faith community. Most importantly, when you struggle with different questions in the future, this book will equip you with the tools you need to tackle those questions or sit with them in peace.

Ultimately, when you put this book down, you will have found the freedom and the ability to breathe again.

I’d love to have you as part of my team! Hope to hear from you all soon!!

This is your friendly Friday reminder to fill out this 2 minute survey about the Shine Bright Event we’re planning for the weekend of October 25th.

It only takes 2 minutes!!!

The survey closes today.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to plan a fall event for you all with all the things you love: a little food, a little fun, and a little faith. We know it’s a busy time of year. We’ve been agonizing over when to schedule this. Instead of guessing what day/time works best for you, we final...

Hey Ladies!

We’ve been working behind the scenes to plan a fall event for you all with all the things you love: a little food, a little fun, and a little faith.

We know it’s a busy time of year. We’ve been agonizing over when to schedule this. Instead of guessing what day/time works best for you, we finally decided to just ask you.

Here are the details:
Shine Bright: Finding ways to SHINE no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in
2-hour event
A meal
Teaching by Jody Camp
Breakout Sessions
Cost: $20

If you could take 2 minutes and fill out this super short survey about the event, we would be so grateful.

We'd love to have results by Friday, so we can make an official announcement on Sunday!

You can fill out the survey here:
https://forms.gle/HMdvCsdehPeowGVv9

(I emailed it as well. You only need to fill it out once!)

Hey Friends!

We hope you’ve had a GREAT summer and start to fall.

We have some SUPER EXCITING things coming up in the next few months, and we can’t wait to tell you all about them.

After our Bible Studies last spring, we decided we’re going to try to do ONE study at a time EVERY week for just a few weeks.

We’re kicking this study off on OCTOBER 13th at the church from 3:30-5:00.

We’re going to use Joyce Meyer’s Battlefield of the Mind. If you haven’t read it before, I can’t urge you enough to jump over to Amazon and snag yourself a copy of it because it is truly LIFE-CHANGING!

You can get it HERE for just $9.50.

I’ve been through this book 3 or 4 times, and I’m telling you, I get something different out of it every single time.

We can’t wait to go through it with you.

The reading/meeting schedule looks like this:
October 13th: Part 1 (chapters 1-7)
October 20th: Chapters 8-11
October 27th: Chapters 9-15
November 3rd: Chapters 16-21
November 10th: Chapters 22-end

I’m uploseding two .pdfs. The one that says printable is for those of you who want to print it out and write on it. The one that says fillable is for those of you who would rather type on the document on your device.

We can’t wait to hang out with you all again and dig into this amazing text!

Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

You can sign up at church at the small groups' table beginning Sunday, or drop a comment on this post!

As we head into summer break and more time with our kids, check out this great resource!

Are you looking for positive things to say to your child to encourage and inspire? Here is a list to get you started.

05/21/2024

Imagine a day where you simply made the choice to remain unoffendable. And you let kindness bloom wild and free and unrestrained. Where you simply had compassion for the rough edges of others realizing it’s just evidence of something cutting deep and brutal inside of them.

It doesn’t make them right. It makes them in need of someone’s love... mercy... gentleness.

What if you were handpicked by God for the epic assignment masked by what seems like a normal Tuesday, to show them there are still good people in this world?

“...it is to one's glory to overlook an offense,” Proverbs 19:11.

Happy Friday, Friends!

A few quick notes about our Brunch tomorrow:

1. Bring a notebook, your journal, or something to take notes in. We don't have access to the simulcast until tomorrow morning, so we couldn't make a study guide.
2. Don't forget a writing utensil!
3. If you were waiting to sign up until the last minute, there's still time. We have plenty of food and space, so come on out. You can sign up here:https://forms.gle/AmFc6MzewRu9VGbw7

4. If you didn't sign up to bring something and would like to, feel free to bring whatever your little heart desires! BUT, if you aren't coming because you feel bad for not bringing food, please don't feel bad at all. We have plenty!

We'll see you tomorrow morning at 10:00.
