Inviting someone to church or talking about faith can feel awkward, especially when you're worried about questions you won't know how to answer. It's easy to feel like you need to have everything figured out before starting the conversation. But what if helping someone take a step toward faith was never meant to be something you do alone? This week, we're looking at how the church can come alongside us and why a simple invitation might be more meaningful than we realize. 📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next. 👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnext Not sure where to start?

Some of the most significant moments in our lives start with something as simple as an invitation. We often don't realize how much those small decisions can impact someone else's story. But when it comes to inviting someone to church or talking about our faith, something that should feel natural can suddenly feel intimidating. What if we've been thinking about invitations the wrong way, and what if our motivation matters more than we realize? 📌 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 live in a world where it’s often easier to focus on what we’re against than what we’re for. But what would change if we spent more time looking for ways to support the people around us, even those we disagree with? What if being for someone meant more than just good intentions? As we wrap up FOR Austin Weekend, we’ll look at what it means to be FOR our community, why it matters, and what it reveals about the way God sees 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 all want to feel secure, confident, and hopeful about the future. But those feelings can change pretty quickly depending on our circumstances, especially when it comes to our finances. What happens when we start tying our sense of worth and security to things that can change overnight? This week, we're looking at what Jesus taught about where we place our trust and how that shapes the way we 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?

Some of the best decisions in life don’t always make sense at first. Sometimes the way forward feels backwards, the wise choice feels risky, and what we’re being asked to do goes against everything we’d normally choose. In those moments, we have to decide how much we trust the one giving the direction. Sometimes the only reason left is: because you say so. 📌 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 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?

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.
