(7/6/25) Dialed In: Prayers of Listening

The next step deeper in our prayer lives involves moving from just talking to God--to actually listening. This involves making space for silence in our lives, and tuning into all the various ways God likes to speak to us (there's more than you think).

(6/29/25) Dialed In: Prayers of Gratitude

Do you know what the antidote is to complaining? To criticism? To entitlement? To discontentment? Gratitude.
Not only do prayers of gratitude help us spiritually and help our persective on God--they're incredibly valuable to our mental health too! On Sunday we learned why & how to deepen into these prayers and learned that gratitude doesn't just have to be a feeling to wait for--it can become an intentional rhythm in our lives...
 

(6/22/25) Dialed In: Prayers of Blessing

Prayers of Blessing are one of the most under-utilized spiritual practices we have available to us--they can be so impactful on us and others!

(6/8/25) Welcome Home: Open the Door

The longer we follow Jesus, how do we avoid drifting toward having the heart of "the older brother" in Jesus' famous parable--a heart of bitterness, resentment, and judgment? This Sunday we learned together how to find the heart of "the Father" instead, and practical ways to live out grace, even toward the people that are the hardest for us...

(6/1/25) Welcome Home: Come Back Home

On Sunday we kicked off our series submerging deep into a story that many scholars consider the greatest story ever told--Jesus' story of the prodigal son. We learned what it really means to choose our "bottom" & decide to turn around and come back home to God--and what's awaiting us there...

(5/25/25) Change of Mind: Choice

We're all dealt different cards in life--how will you play your hand? It's your choice, and God wants to help you!

(5/18/25) Change of Mind: Thought Life

What are most of your thoughts focused on lately? On Sunday in our series for May (Mental Health Awareness Month) we got super practical in learning how to partner with God to change our thought life--which overflows into all other areas of our lives!

(5/11/25) Change of Mind: Courage & Faith (Mother's Day)

For Mother's Day, we learned from an "unsung hero mom" of the Bible about how to find courage & faith when facing the hard things in our lives, including mental health challenges.
