Why is it so hard to change?

Most of us know there are habits, attitudes, or patterns in our lives that need to be different. We make promises, set goals, try harder, and determine that this time will be different.

Yet somehow, we often find ourselves right back where we started.

In this message, we'll explore what it means to be truly set free—not just from unhealthy behaviors, but from the deeper struggles that keep us stuck.

If you've ever felt frustrated by your failures, trapped in destructive patterns, or discouraged by how difficult change can be, this message is for you.

So many people are carrying around regret. Regret over choices they made… opportunities they missed… words they said… or the person they’ve become. Deep down, many of us wonder if things could have been different.

But what if regret doesn’t have to be the end of the story?

This message is for anyone who feels stuck in the past, uncertain about the future, or longing for peace they can’t seem to find.

We’re so happy to be serving today at Cloverdale Elementary School. Volunteers are serving popcorn and snow cones and supervising games and bouncy houses. What a privilege to share the love of God with all these children, parent volunteers and staff at Cloverdale!

So many people are living a version of life they never actually wanted.

Going through the motions.
Stuck in patterns they know aren’t healthy.
Settling for comfort, distraction, or just “getting by,” while something deep inside whispers, there has to be more than this.

And the truth is… there is.

In this message, we’ll explore what it means to stop settling for less than God’s best—to let go of bitterness, stop blaming others for where we are, and choose growth instead of comfort.

This message is for anyone who feels stuck, restless, disappointed, or ready for something more.

What if the life you've always wanted is closer than you think?

Somewhere along the way, most of us learn to settle. We get comfortable with "fine." We avoid the hard questions, push down the restlessness, and tell ourselves this is just how life is. But what if it doesn't have to be?

Too Good To Miss is a three-week series about the life that's possible when we stop playing it safe — more freedom, more purpose, more of what we were actually made for.

May 17: Don't Settle
May 24: No Regrets
May 31: Set Free!

This series is for anyone who suspects there's more to life than what they've been settling for.

Life feels full—calendars packed, responsibilities piling up, expectations everywhere you turn. You’re doing your best to keep up, to show up, to not drop anything important… but underneath it all, you’re tired. Not just physically—deep down, soul-level tired.

And if we’re honest, no amount of sleep, scrolling, or “self-care” seems to fix it.

This Mother’s Day, we’re leaning into a simple but powerful invitation from Jesus: “Come to me, and I will give you rest...”

Maybe the answer isn’t trying harder to hold it all together…
maybe it’s learning you don’t have to carry it alone.
