Thin Line Between Faith & Creativity
On Sunday we explored something that I believe is deeply connected to who we are as a community: the relationship between faith and creativity. We began with a simple question: Why did God create humanity? From Genesis to Hebrews 11, we explored how God invites us to participate in His creation…

What God Is Building In Us
Studio, you are a dream, and we want to say thank you. Thank you for continuing to show up, lean in, and make gathering a priority in this season. We greatly value gathering, whether in person or online. We believe there is something powerful that happens when we come together in worship, in...
-
The Battlefield Of Unity
This Sunday, Pastor Eric continued the series of talks around the topic of unity. We often think unity is about changing someone else’s mind, resolving disagreement, or getting everyone on the same page, but Paul points us somewhere deeper: “In your relationships with one another, have the same...
-
ASK. SEEK. KNOCK. | An Invitation to Pray
As we move into the new season, we come hungry for more of God - to commune with Him, and to step into all that He has for us. Last week we took time as a community, in prayer and fasting, to intentionally humble ourselves and seek the Lord. Before we move forward, we want to pause. To seek His...
-
Who's Sitting At Your Table
Last Sunday we continued our conversation around the Unity of the Spirit by asking a very practical question: What happens when the people Jesus brings to the table don’t agree with each other? Because unity would be easy if we all thought alike! In Romans 14, Paul writes to a community…
more -
New Humanity
This past Sunday we explored something Paul writes about called the "unity of the Spirit," we learned he isn't talking about everyone thinking the same, looking the same, or sharing the same preferences. He's describing something far more remarkable and dynamic. The early church brought together...
-
The Letters: Reading Someone Else's Mail Pt. 2
This past Sunday, we continued our series on Reading the Bible by exploring one of the most common mistakes we make when reading the letters of the New Testament: We often extract a verse without understanding the conversation. When reading a letter, the invitation is different: Don't just…

The Letters: Reading Someone Else's Mail
This week we continued our series on reading the Bible, focusing on how to read the New Testament letters. We learned that when we read books like Philippians, Corinthians, Romans, or Peter’s letters, we are essentially “reading someone else’s mail”. These letters were written by real leaders to...
-
There Is More The Story
This past Sunday we continued our series on reading the Bible with a familiar story: David and Goliath. Most of us know the story. David. Goliath. Five stones. A sling. A giant falls. But what if there’s more to the story? One of the challenges of reading biblical narrative is that we naturally...
-
Reading The Bible The Way It Was Meant To Be Read
How do we faithfully approach Scripture? One of the biggest reasons people struggle with the Bible isn't because they don't love God—it's because they haven't been given the right lens to read it. The Bible isn't one kind of book. It's a library filled with stories, poetry, law, wisdom, prophecy,...
-
Known By Love
At Studio, we want to be a place where God and people meet and to be a people known for our love. That kind of love doesn't happen by accident. It grows as we encounter Jesus and become more like Him. One of the greatest things Jesus changes isn't simply what we believe. He changes how we see and...
-
Find Me Somebody To Love
This Sunday we explored one powerful question: Does my view of God's goodness shape how I see my circumstances, or do my circumstances shape how I see God's goodness? Looking at the life of Daniel, we discovered that Babylon wasn't evidence that God had abandoned him—it was evidence that God was...
-
7 Common Barriers to Reading the Bible
This past Sunday we kicked off a new series by asking a few simple questions: What kind of relationship do you have with the Bible? Many people believe the Bible is boring, confusing, or difficult to understand. But what if the issue isn't the Bible itself? We looked at seven common reasons…
more -
On the Journey of Becoming
We're all on a journey of becoming. Every season is shaping us. The only question is... who are we becoming? When life feels hard or uncertain, it's easy to find ourselves praying, "Lord... when is this going to change?" I've prayed that more times than I can count. But what if God is inviting us...
-
The Art of Favor
This Sunday we continued our series on Favor by exploring what it means to have favor with man. Luke tells us that Jesus "grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52). While we've spent much of this series talking about God's favor toward us—His delight, love, and…
more -
You've Mourned Long Enough
This week at STUDIO, we welcomed back Nate Edwardson, from The Stirring in Redding, California. He took us into 1 Samuel 16, where God chooses David to be the next king of Israel. At the heart of this story lies a profound truth: before God anoints a new generation, He first heals the spiritual...
-
The Three Dimensions of Favor
This past Sunday we continued our conversation on favor and looked at one of the most fascinating verses in the life of Jesus: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52) For years I've read that verse and wondered: How does Jesus grow in favor with God if…
more -
The Myth of Favor
This past Sunday we talked about Favor — and how many of us have misunderstood it. We often think favor means success, open doors, influence, or easy circumstances. But Psalm 30:5 reveals something much deeper: favor is first about God’s posture toward us. His face turned toward us with delight,...
-
What My Mom Taught Me
This past Sunday Eric shared a personal message about four things his mom taught him over the course of her life. Four years after her passing, her life still continues to shape his in profound ways. • Create Space for Becoming — She created environments where people could discover who God made...
-
The "Y" In The Wilderness
This Sunday’s message, “The Y in the Wilderness,” reminded us that wilderness seasons often bring us to a fork in the road—a choice between striving in our own strength or trusting in God’s promise. Through the story in Galatians 4, we saw the contrast between Hagar, representing performance and...
-
Why STUDIO
Over the past several weeks, we’ve been walking through Why Church? Why Gather?—and this Sunday we turned the corner and asked a more personal question: Why Studio? We didn’t start Studio because the world needed another church. We started it because we believed something essential was…
more -
Why Do You Look for The Living Among The Dead?
This week we stepped into the resurrection story in Luke 24 and heard the question that still echoes today: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” From the very beginning, God’s heart has always been about relationship. In the Garden, He walked with humanity—close, present, near. Sin...
-
Created to Gather
We are on a journey of rediscovering our why: Why Church, Why Gather, Why Studio. As Simon Sinek says, “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe.” We are continuing to dig into Why We Gather because, at a basic level, gathering is a core...
-
Seeing The Face of God in The Bible
This past Sunday we were privileged to hear from Jeremy Gagnon, as he shared his passion for the bible and provoked us to dig into Seeing the Face of God as we read The Word. The Scriptures aren’t just information, but they’re meant to transform us. Often, we come to the Bible with our modern…
more -
Coming Together with Intention
As we continued week five of our "Why Church" series, we explored some challenging yet transformative truths about gathering as the body of Christ. This sermon explored the biblical and historical foundations for why we gather on Sundays and how our approach to gathering has shifted from the…
more -
Faith Can Exist in Isolation, but Formation Cannot
This week in our series Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio? We stepped into a deeper conversation often called ecclesiology—the study of the church. At the heart of the message was a simple but important question: Can formation and maturity happen in isolation? Scripture makes something…
more -
East and West
This week we continued our series “Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio?” with a simple but important realization: we are Western people reading an Eastern book. Most of us don’t realize the tension that creates. We live in a culture that begins with “I”—my faith, my truth, my relationship. But the...
-
God’s Presence + God’s People
This past Sunday, Pastor Rheva continued the series Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio? by helping us reflect on why the church exists—and why gathering actually matters. Throughout Scripture, God does not save individuals in isolation; He forms a people for the sake of the world. Our faith was...
-
Why Church?
Have you ever done something for so long that you forget why you’re doing it in the first place? This is called ritual drift. Over time, we can fall into habits and rhythms without remembering the original purpose behind them. This past Sunday, we began a new series titled “Why Church? Why…
more -
Heart & Vision Sunday
This past Sunday was Heart & Vision Sunday. We recapped 2025 and talked about 2026. This is a year of Taking Ground and Expanding Territory. These two ideas embody what we are setting our sights on: seeing you take ground and expand territory in your inner world and in your life. For more info…

People of Audacious Faith
For STUDIO’s 4th Birthday Celebration, we welcomed back Julian Adams. He spoke from Luke 5:17-26, which tells the story of four faithful friends who broke through a roof to bring their paralyzed companion before Jesus. Julian’s main point was this: we are living in a season where 'the power of…
more -
Stepping Into Freedom
This year we are responding to God calling us to expand our territory and take ground - not just around us, but within us. We’re turning four as a church, and this feels like a holy growing-up season. It’s a good time to be alive, to mature and step into all that God has for us. For us to do this...
-
Taking Ground
The very fact that you can dream, imagine, and look ahead is evidence that you were designed for the future. Scripture is filled with moments of stepping into the new—moving from glory to glory, crossing rivers, leaving what’s familiar—and we believe this year holds that same invitation for us.…

30 Seconds that Changed Everything
This Sunday, we slowed down a familiar story and discovered just how disruptive it really was. In Luke 2, the announcement of Jesus’ birth may have taken only about 30 seconds, but in that moment the veil between heaven and earth thinned, time seemed to pause, and everything changed. What looked...
-
A King In Exile || Episode Reissue
In this episode reissue, Pastor Eric reminds us that the birth of Jesus is not an isolated moment—it’s a pivotal chapter in the much bigger story God has been writing since the beginning. Scripture is full of hints and shadows pointing toward His arrival and His mission for humanity. But here’s...
-
He is Our Feast
We pray you are filled with joy as we step into this month of celebrating Jesus - God born among us and changing our human story forever. We have so much to rejoice in and to give thanks for. The holiday season is often filled with gatherings, celebrations and yummy food, and we pray that in the...
-
Healing Mental Scars || Episode Reissue
As you know, we can get scars on our bodies from injuries and medical procedures. There are other kinds of scars that no one can see but anyone around you will experience them. Let’s call them Mental Scars, these scars develop when painful and hard circumstances take place in our life. Science is...

Jonathan Helser | Well-Worn Pathways
This past Sunday, we had the great privilege of hosting Jonathan & Melissa Helser. Jonathan released a powerful word that invites us into a profound exploration of what it means to run the race of faith for the long haul. Drawing from Hebrews 12, we're reminded that we're surrounded by a great...
-
Letting Go of Preferences
This Sunday we embarked on a journey of raw truth and invitation: discovering how our personal preferences—the way we expect life and God to look—can quietly shape how we experience Him and sometimes limit what He wants to do. Through valleys and victories, we’ve seen God remain our constant; yet...
-
Spirit Of The Mind
Last Sunday, I shared how the mind is the meeting place for heaven, hell, and earth—not because they all live there, but because that’s where they all compete for your agreement. Every thought that passes through your mind carries an invitation: some from God, some from fear, and some from your…
more -
Intrusive Thoughts
Did you know the average person has over 6000 thoughts per day? This means you are having four thoughts every minute. If even 10% of those thoughts are negative, anxious, or intrusive, that’s 600 mental interruptions a day competing for agreement. In the talk titled Intrusive Thoughts, Pastor…
more -
Give Us Wisdom
This Sunday, Pastor Rheva shared a powerful message from 1 Corinthians 1 titled “Give Us Wisdom.” Paul wrote to the young church in Corinth—a diverse, fast-growing community struggling with division. Pastor Rheva reminded us that, like them, we sometimes let personalities, opinions, or cultural...
-
You Have My YES
At Studio, we’re a passionate community of Jesus followers on a journey of being shaped and formed into His likeness. Every time we gather, we’re reminded that we’re humans living in one culture, while learning to live in the values of another — the culture of God’s Kingdom. Our Father in heaven,...
-
Echo Chambers | Episode Reissue
A Echo Chamber is an enclosed space where sound reverberates / an environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered. We create these places as they are comfortable…

Home Is Built Together!
Studio has always been, and continues to be, a place where God and people meet. This is a sacred space where healing happens, where belonging is discovered, where creativity and faith intersect, and where the future and dreams are stirred inside of us. It’s not just a church—it’s a community.…

Adjust + Grow: A Call to Love
We are full of gratitude and humility as we reflect back on these past weeks. Processing the devastating events has been weighty and we are thankful as we watch our community (YOU) walk graciously with one another. This is stunning to watch! In the face of pain and grief, we are figuring out how…

Quite The Moment for Prayer
It has been quite a week. My heart has been heavy with sadness, shock, grief, anger, confusion—and also with a resolve. Once again, tragedy has shaken our nation and reminded us of the brokenness in our culture. As Psalm 120 says, “In my distress I cried to the Lord, and He heard me… I am for...
-
Unity Grows where Pride Dies
On Sunday we continued our study in the Songs of Ascent. Psalm 133 paints a stunning picture: “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” Surprisingly, Unity isn’t the starting point—it’s the result of our journey of walking and doing life with people towards God....
-
The Choice is Yours
This Sunday, we continued our journey through the Song of Ascents. We were reminded that in Psalm 124 that if the Lord had not been on our side, we would have been swallowed up by life’s storms. These ancient “Songs of Ascent” were survival songs—words sung by God’s people as they journeyed step…

A Playlist for Creating the Future
For a second week, we continued in the Psalms of Ascent, which the children of Israel sang while on pilgrimage journeys to the Temple. Psalm 127 reminds us: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In…
