We’re celebrating 20 years—but we’re part of something over 2,000 years old. Join us as we rediscover the timeless beauty of Christ’s Church and our place in His story.

What do you see when you look at the people around you? Jesus looked at the same crowds everyone else walked past — and where His disciples saw a burden, He saw a harvest. In this message from Matthew 9:35-38 and Matthew 10:1, 5-8, we look at a crowd that exhausted Jesus' disciples and moved Him to the core — and at the surprising thing He told them to do about it. It wasn't a strategy. It wasn't a program. It was a prayer, and it was bigger than any of them expected. Along the way we'll see why the size of the need never determines the size of the harvest, why the people we're most tempted to write off may be the ripest field in front of us, and what it looks like to be sent into a harvest that is already ready.

Control can feel like strength. We carry the weight, manage the outcomes, protect ourselves from disappointment, and try to make sure nothing falls apart. But Jesus offers another way. He invites us to bring Him what we’re carrying, take His yoke, learn His way of life, and discover the rest that comes through trusting Him.

If you’re waiting on God, discouraged by a lack of results, walking through an unexpected season, or wondering whether your prayers and obedience are making a difference, this message will encourage you to keep planting, keep trusting, and keep showing up. Our season may be short. God’s faithfulness is not.

What do you do when the diagnosis is difficult and there's no cure? In this deeply personal episode of the Rewritten, we walk through one of the hardest topics in the Christian life: suffering.  This episode unpacks four truths about suffering and God. It offers the only answer that holds true: God is closer to your pain than you think, and the story isn't over. If you or someone you love is walking through suffering right now  cancer, loss, grief, or a season that doesn't make sense  this episode will meet you where you are and point you to the God who walks through the fire with you.

What happens when you can't get to Jesus alone? If you've ever felt stuck, broken, or unable to move forward in your faith, this is for you. We unpack life-changing truths and discover why isolation was never God's plan and why biblical community is the method, not the add-on. Whether you're the one on the mat or one of the four carrying someone to Jesus, this episode will challenge you to stop hiding your brokenness and let the people around you help you get to the Healer.

In “The Effects of Grace”, discover why Micah 6:8 - “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God” is not a checklist for earning God’s approval, but a picture of the life grace produces. Jesus has done what we could never do for ourselves, and His grace doesn’t just save us, it changes us.

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. In Better Together, we discover why biblical community, Groups, and the local church are essential to spiritual growth. From Exodus 33 to 1 Corinthians 12, see how God uses His presence, spiritual gifts, encouragement, and the body of Christ to form us into people we could never become alone.

In Marked and Empowered by His Presence, we explore Exodus 33–34 and Moses’ declaration that God’s presence is what distinguishes His people. Discover how the Holy Spirit marks us as belonging to God, how His presence is meant to flow through us to others, and how He empowers ordinary people to participate in an extraordinary mission. God’s presence in us is meant to become God’s presence through us.

In Changed By His Presence, discover how pursuing, surrendering, and remaining transforms us from the inside out. As we explore the scriptures, we’ll see that becoming like Jesus isn’t about trying harder, it's about yielding more deeply to God’s transforming work.

How do you experience more of God's presence in everyday life? In Week 2 of Presence, we explore Exodus 33 as Moses intentionally makes room to meet with God and boldly prays, "Show me Your glory." Discover how repentance, spiritual hunger, and removing distractions position our hearts to know God more deeply. If you're longing for a closer relationship with Jesus, this message will help you create space to encounter His presence and grow in your walk with Him.

What if your greatest need isn’t more from God—but more of God Himself? In this message from Exodus 33, discover why you were created for God’s presence, what quietly diminishes your spiritual hunger, and how to seek Him with holy expectation. If you’re longing for deeper intimacy with God, renewed passion for prayer, and a fresh awareness of the Holy Spirit, this message will encourage you to pursue His presence above everything else.

What captures your heart will ultimately shape your life. In The King's Call on My Treasure (Luke 21:1–4), Jesus uses the widow's offering to reveal a powerful truth: God isn't impressed by the size of our gift but by the surrender of our hearts. Discover how biblical generosity grows from trust, reflects our deepest priorities, and invites us into the freedom of wholehearted devotion to King Jesus.

In a world where politics often shapes our identity, Jesus offers something far greater—a Kingdom that will never fail. In The King's Call on My Allegiance (Luke 20:20–26), discover why King Jesus deserves our ultimate loyalty.
