For most of us, the biggest bully we’ll ever face is in our own head. Every time things feel like they’re moving in the right direction, you’re rudely interrupted by negative thoughts, anxious spirals, self-doubt, and waves of regret. You’ve tried reading the verse of the day, positive affirmations, and even cold plunging—but it’s no use. Your brain bully is always two steps ahead. You didn’t sign up to play mind games with yourself, but here you are. So, how do you exit the cycle, renew your mind, and recover your sense of courage, confidence, humility, and lovability?

who in your life might benefit from you telling them about a different kind of parade? (30) About a different kind of savior. A different kind of kingdom. A different way of living and being. One that can actually deliver on what it promises. Because the reality of it is—the Roman philosophy didn’t even work for the people it worked for. Because no one is strong, wealthy, or right forever. In other words, the second you reveal who and how you really are, you’re out.

Most of us are doing our best to do it all on our own. We’re juggling our dreams and other’s expectations, work, relationships, finances, health. It’s overwhelming; often leaving us wondering if we have what it takes to keep going. With every passing week, we push harder and cope longer just to keep our head above water. Is this just the way it is? We wish we were better, stronger, greater, and more self-sufficient than we are. But despite how much we try, we don’t feel any more at peace. Ever think, “If Jesus were sitting right next to me, I’d be so much more confident and capable.” His first followers experienced that to be true. Then one day, he turned and said, “It’d be even better for you if I went away.” What? That can’t be right! But what if it is? Could that promise be true for everyone, even you? It seems to be. What if learning to connect to God’s Spirit is the secret weapon you’ve been waiting for all along? We’re going to show you how

Forty-seven percent of American adults are single; more than any time in history. Yet, despite the apps, algorithms, matchmaking services, and well-meaning aunties indiscriminately handing out your number, it still feels impossible to find someone. Life devolves into a sad string of awkward texts, disgusting DM’s, bad dates, and unsatisfying hookups. Then there’s all the married people weighing in with what you ought to change to be more marketable. Because obviously life doesn’t start until you’ve locked down your special someone. Is that true? What if it’s not in the cards for you? Why’s it taking so long? What do you do with all your loneliness, longings, hopes, and heartbreak? How did we get here & where do we go from here?

Opportunities materialize out of thin air. Any minute you could stumble onto a better job, bigger house, nicer school, or sexier partner, and skip off to where the grass is greener. Or so it seems. There’s something exciting and adventurous about all the potential possibilities. But truth is, it’s tough to build a meaningful life with one eye on the horizon and one foot out the door. At some point, you need to settle down somewhere. But you just want everything to be perfect. I get that. But—what if the life you’re looking for isn’t about moving on, but going deeper right where you are? What would happen if you settled into the soil of your current reality & poured your passion into the people, places & problems sitting right in front of you?

Nothing puts you in the Christmas spirit like the perfect holiday playlist. And by mid-November it’s everywhere—your car, the grocery store, the gym…jail. It soundtracks every aspect of our lives. You can’t escape it. And most of us don’t want to. It gives us all the feels we’ve waited all year for. We come to associate these songs with our own stories, but what are their stories? Where did they come from? What do they mean? What makes them so relatable? This month, we’re going to pull back the curtain on some of the most iconic Christmas carols, because behind each of these nostalgic tunes is an inspiring tale that points to the true purpose of Christmas. And through these stories, we’ll learn to live better stories ourselves all year long, ones that hopefully look a lot more like Christ. Our title of this series is  LYRICAL

Life keeps moving faster and faster and our schedules keep getting fuller and fuller. Fortunately, we have access to so much technology to help us keep up. But even though it empowers us to do more, we feel worse. We’re glued to our phones, rage baited, and over stimulated. Many of us walk around with a pit in our stomach, anxious over what sources to trust and what catastrophe will strike next. But it doesn’t help to blame our phones. It’s a neutral piece of technology.

Not one-time activities...but walking a pathway that Scripture suggests you follow for the rest of your life. 

Who you are is largely due to who you’re with. But most of us don’t intentionally design an inner circle, we default to hanging around with whoever happens to be around. Sometimes we get lucky. But for some of us, these convenient connections pull us further from who we want to be. Everyone says they know they need good people around them, but what does that mean? If you look at the lives of those you look up to, you’ll notice most of them have invested in four specific relationships. We see it in sports, business, entertainment, and even Scripture. So… What are they? Why are they so important? And where do you find them? You know, without being weird. Because having these relationships won’t just make you a better person, they’ll make you a better family member.

Every Influencer has a list of things they think you should do. Some they’re being paid to say, some are ridiculous, and some are good ideas. But let’s be real: We can’t do all the good things everyone tells us to. We don’t have near enough time, energy, or money. so, how do you figure out what’s essential; even foundational? So in this series we’ll talk about what happens when we commit to the essentials. And what would happen, if we were to be consistent to what we committed to? And if we were going to reorganize our life around faith, what few things would we need to do to become the best version of ourselves?

You know-the category that keeps you up at night; all the unbelievably difficult moments and draining people? Why do you keep getting stumped by the same problems & what do you do about it? That's what this whole series is about--real life. And we think you'll be surprised by just how relevant this ancient wisdom is to life right now.

Everybody wants to live an intentional, meaningful, satisfying life. We want God’s best. Is this it though? Does your life feel smaller than you thought it’d be? Why is that? Isn’t Jesus supposed to make everything better? Didn’t He say He came to bring us life to the full? Full of what?? My life is full of stress, insecurity, and failure. Why can’t we seem to step into the dreams God put inside us? Influencers keep telling us, “Just go for it.” But you can’t. You’re stuck. What would it look like to overcome your excuses and take a step forward? Is it possible that the most spiritual thing you can do is let God KICK YOUR BUT.

Even if you’re not a Christian, you probably have a picture in your mind of who Jesus is. For most people, it’s someone unwaveringly kind, caring, and gentle. And for the most part, they’re right. But if you read through the Gospels, you’ll inevitably come across instances that upset your expectations. Jesus said and did things that almost seem out-of-character; moments where He comes across as mean, dismissive, and even aggressive. At times He’s flat-out SAVAGE. So what’s really going on here? Are we misreading these stories, or have we misjudged Jesus? Who was He really and why did He do the things He did?
