The Bible is full of people we remember for big moments, but their stories were far from simple. They faced fear, disappointment, doubt, pressure, and seasons of waiting. Each week, we’ll explore a different person from Scripture, looking at their struggles, their choices, and how God worked through their story. Along the way, we’ll see what their experiences can teach us about following God in our own lives. Sometimes we think peace will come once we get through the hard thing, reach the goal, or finally get an answer. But what happens when you get to the other side and the worry is still there? This week, we’ll look at what anxiety can take from us, what might be underneath it, and how we can begin to respond when we can’t seem to quiet our minds. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

Each week, we’ll explore a different person from Scripture, looking at their struggles, their choices, and how God worked through their story. Along the way, we’ll see what their experiences can teach us about following God in our own lives. Sometimes the things that matter most get hardest somewhere in the middle. The excitement wears off, the finish line still feels far away, and quitting starts to sound reasonable. Through the story of Nehemiah, we’ll look at what to do when you’re tired, frustrated, or questioning whether the work is still worth it. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

Jonah knew God was compassionate and forgiving, but that became a problem when God showed that same compassion to his enemies. His story forces us to look at our own hearts and ask what happens when God’s idea of grace doesn’t feel fair to us. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

We spend a lot of time trying to make life easier, more comfortable, and more in our control. But what if some of the things we try to avoid are actually shaping us into who we’re meant to become? This message looks at what it means to embrace the limits, relationships, struggles, and joys that make us human. What if becoming fully alive means embracing the journey instead of trying to skip it? 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

We’re surrounded by more content, opinions, and information than we could ever take in, so something has to decide what gets our attention. Over time, what we repeatedly watch and listen to can shape how we think, what we fear, what we want, and even who we become. This week, we’re looking at what our attention is producing in us and asking a bigger question than what we should look at less: What deserves more of our attention? 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

Technology has made it easier than ever to stay connected, but somehow, we may be spending less time actually connecting. Our screens offer us versions of community, friendship, and belonging that can feel close to the real thing, but still leave something missing. This week, we’re looking at what our digital habits may be costing us and why some of the most important parts of life can’t be replaced by a screen. What would change if we made more space to be face to face? 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

What if the biggest thing standing between you and faith is a misunderstanding of what Jesus actually came to say? Many of us assume Christianity is about rules, behavior, or getting life together. But what if his message was far more personal and relevant than that? This Sunday, we'll take a fresh look at the good news Jesus came to bring and why it still matters today.📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next.👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnextNot sure where to start?

We all know what it's like to say, "That's not what I meant," only to hear, "Well, that's what I heard." The truth is, every conversation is filtered through our experiences, assumptions, and past hurts, which means we don't always hear what's actually being said. This week, we'll look at how becoming a better listener can change our relationships and the way we respond to the people around us. Every day, we respond to people, to pressure, opinions, criticism, and even the voice in our own head. But our responses are rarely as small as they seem. They shape relationships, reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, and create a ripple effect throughout our lives. Your Response(ability) is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and consider what our words and reactions are really doing. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

The thoughts we repeat to ourselves can start to feel like facts. Shame, failure, past mistakes, and even the voices of other people can shape how we see ourselves without us realizing it. But not every thought deserves the final word. This message looks at how to recognize the voices shaping our lives, question what they’re telling us, and replace what isn’t true with what is.  Every day, we respond to people, to pressure, opinions, criticism, and even the voice in our own head.

We all know words matter, but it's easy to underestimate the impact of the conversations we have when the other person isn't in the room. Gossip doesn't always start with bad intentions, yet it can quietly shape relationships, reputations, and even our own hearts. This week we'll look at why we're drawn to these conversations, what Jesus had to say about them, and how choosing our words more carefully can change the way we relate to others.  Every day, we respond to people, to pressure, opinions, criticism, and even the voice in our own head.

Have you ever felt like your age, your experience, or your past made you less qualified to make a difference? Maybe you've convinced yourself you're too young to have a voice, or too far along to have much left to offer. What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your stage of life, but the way you see yourself? This week, we'll look at why every season of life has purpose and why your story may not be finished yet. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

Fear shows up in all kinds of ways. Sometimes it looks like panic, anxiety, or a loss of control. Other times it feels more like awe, standing in front of something bigger than yourself. The Bible repeatedly tells us not to be afraid, yet it also says that fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. So how can both be true, and what does it mean to trust a God who is both powerful enough to fear and loving enough to call Father? Jesus often said things that felt backwards. Ideas that challenged people’s assumptions and invited them to see life differently. In this series, we’ll look at some of the tension in His words and why what seems upside down at first might actually lead to a better way to live. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

The tension is that most of us assume holding on tightly is the safest way to protect what matters. We grip our time, money, relationships, and even forgiveness because we are afraid that letting go will leave us with less. But what if the opposite is true? This week, we'll explore one of Jesus' most misunderstood teachings and discover how generosity may not be the result of a full life, but the pathway to one.Jesus often said things that felt backwards.

Most of us want our lives to matter. We want to be great spouses, parents, friends, leaders, and people others can count on. But the way we often pursue greatness can leave us frustrated, exhausted, or disconnected from the people who matter most.
