Episodes

  1. Restored to Return | Teen Challenge Director Klayton Kirkwood

    What happens when we come down from the mountaintop? In Restored to Return, Klayton Kirkwood walks through 1 Kings 19, where God cares for an exhausted Elijah, speaks to him in a gentle whisper, and sends him back with work to do. Drawing on Tucson’s Mount Lemmon and his own recovery through Teen...

  2. Missio Dei | Steve Lummer

    God is already on mission—and he invites us to join him. In “Missio Dei,” Steve Lummer explores Acts 2:42–47 through three connected rhythms: the temple, the table, and the trail. We gather for worship and biblical teaching, grow through shared life and meaningful relationships, and go into...

  3. Engage: What's Your Assignment?

    What’s your assignment in God’s mission? Some are called to go, and others are called to help send—but every assignment matters. In the final message of our Engage series, Pastor Kai Eilert explores the importance, impact, and imperative of world missions. Drawing from Acts 13:1–4 and his...

  4. Engage: When Love Crosses Lines

  8. Detox: Focus and Fuel

    Detox is not the destination. After laying aside the weights and sins that hold us back, we still have to ask two important questions: What am I running toward, and what is sustaining me for the race? In Week 3 of Detox, we move from detox to discipleship. Hebrews 12:1–2 tells us not only what to...

  9. Detox: Overcomers

    Hebrews 12 tells us to “lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely.” Some sins are easy to recognize and move past. Others seem to cling to us, pulling us back into the same patterns again and again. But the good news of Jesus is that sin does not have to have the final word. In Week…

  10. Detox: Drop the Weight

    What if some of the things making life harder aren’t necessarily sinful—they’re just heavy?
