"Jesus is coming back"; that statement in itself can be alot to process. But regardless of your opinion on the matter, the evidence supports that reality. So the question isn't really whether or not this will happen, but why the mystery? Why signs and warnings as opposed to a firm date, and if we had a clear date, how would we respond? We like to think that would strengthen our faith, but in many ways, could it actually hurt our relationship with God? In this episode, we explore the mystery surrounding Christ’s return, what the Bible tells us to watch for, and why God may have intentionally chosen not to tell us when it will happen.

In the few short years since its public release, AI has quickly infiltrated numerous aspects of everyday life. In recent weeks, it has become a divisive topic. Will AI bring peace and prosperity or the end of humanity? As Christians, what should we think about AI? Is it inherently evil, or does this really all come down to our response to this new technology?

Let’s take the conversation of the week a little further as we reflect on what is happening with the nation of Israel and wrestle with what the proper Christian perspective should be toward the modern nation of Israel.

Last week's message focused on the "spiraling world" around us, the Bible's warnings about these events, and the understanding that these events were not detailed to create fear, but to offer Hope that God is ultimately in control.

Following this week’s message, we sit down for a deeper conversation about the authority of the Bible, why we can trust it, and how we can confidently know it’s reliable. We’ll also share some practical tools, helpful tips, and recommendations for anyone looking to develop a new habit of reading and engaging with God’s Word.

Join us as we talk about the very real tug-of-war battle to find meaningful rest in a fast-paced, always-on world.

We all work toward goals, titles and achievements, simply trying to feel like we measure up and that our lives have purpose. But the reality is that no matter what we are able to achieve, we still feel empty. The Bible tells us exactly why these things are not fulfilling us and how to find real joy in life.

Last week, we made some major announcements in the services, including a renewed effort to offer more opportunities for discipleship and spiritual growth. Join us as we discuss the importance of our daily spiritual habits and growing our faith.

We all set goals and targets for our lives we want to hit, but when it comes to our spiritual lives, we often fail to do that very thing. This week we reflect on the message from Iron Mountain Sporting Clays, and talk about what it looks like to hit the spiritual targets in life.

One of the most important responsibilities of every Christian is to share their faith with confidence. Yet for many believers, it can also be one of the most intimidating aspects of the Christian life. On this week's episode, we reflect on what it means to "fish" for people and how we can share the gospel with courage and purpose.

This week, as we sit and reflect on the message, we're reminded once again of God's grace in our lives and His call to us to surrender our lives to Him.

The Bible tells us that God is the potter and we are the clay, and just because we may have some blemishes and cracks, it doesn't mean He can't mold our lives into something incredibly beautiful.

There are different types of pressure in life, which can either destroy us or shape us into who we were always intended to become. The process of getting to the final product is often harder than we expect, but the payoff is worth it.

This week, we had quite the experience learning about beekeeping. Alan from Hug-A-Bee Honey was not only a gracious host but an extremely knowledgeable and passionate one. In this week's episode we decided to do something a little different and let you hear more of the interview with Alan, as He talks about Honeybees and how they are an amazing example of God's creation.

Standing on the edge, feeling like you're being pushed? No one looks forward to the trials in life, but in those moments, we all have to make a choice: what or who will you choose to trust?
