We all want to find love, but a lot of us don't know where to look. This week, as we kick off our "We Need to Talk" series, Kylen Perry leads us through Genesis 2 to remind us we don't need to be married to experience connection, fulfillment, and intimacy — it's all available to us in Christ right now.

Jesus is the One who gives the world around us meaning and significance — so what we believe to be true about Him matters. This week, guest speaker and executive director of discipleship, Dave Bruskas, leads us through Colossians 1 to remind us that Jesus is not just a representation of God, but God Himself, and that should change everything for us.

We can't settle for a cheap version of Christianity that in no way compares with the price Christ was willing to pay for us. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Exodus 33 to show us that if Jesus made a way for us to be with God, we have to prioritize seeking His presence.

Almost all frustration stems from unfulfilled expectations, but how do we react when faced with disappointment? This week, Tyler Moffett reminds us through 1 Kings 19 that zeal for the Lord does not imply a shallow pursuit when everything is going smoothly, but rather an energetic and unwavering commitment to God, even in times of trial.

Do you need to escape the comfort culture? In the Christian life, there are times when we voluntarily take on considerable costs for a considerable purpose.This week, Kylen Perry leads us through 2 Timothy 2 to remind us that a consecrated life is one that is uncommonly devoted.

Is your repentance genuine? This week, Kylen Perry walks through 2 Corinthians 7 and challenges us to think through the difference between godly grief and worldly grief. There is no real repentance without a dramatic removal of our sin and that all starts with a brokenness over it.

A conversation usually marked by division and shame is brought to the stage as we welcomed author and modern theologian, Brenna Blain, along with Kylen Perry and Timothy "TA" Ateek, to discuss what it looks like to have a Biblical perspective on our sexuality.
Mark as Played
What do you want more than the Lord? This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Isaiah 55 to remind us that pursuing anything less than the Lord will always leave us wanting more.

As a quiet revival ripples across this generation, we have to ask — are we seeing the same change happen in our own spiritual lives? This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Hosea 10:12 to show us that before we ask for widespread revival we have to experience an inner renewal.
Mark as Played
Is it hard for you to believe God loves you? Are you living like He loves you? This week, Kylen Perry walks through Ephesians 3 to show us Paul's passionate plea for us to not just know God loves us, but for us to experience it.

You can't be the happiest version of yourself without God — so what is separating us from the happiness He provides? This week, Kylen Perry point to Psalm 32 to show us that through confession, honest sinners can have the happiest lives.

You are not disqualified from joy because of your suffering. This week, Tyler Moffett, our new Director of Discipleship, reminds us through James 1 that God can use the most broken circumstances to bring about even greater joy.

Where do you turn to in a time of need? This week, guest speaker Trip Lee walks us through John 6:1-15 to remind us the size of our problems doesn’t change the source of our help.
Mark as Played
In our world, joy seems to be a lost art — so where do we find it? This week, Kylen Perry leads us through the book of Philippians, where God gives us a roadmap to a life of excitement, joy, wonder, and delight.

God wants more for your life than occasional optimism. He wants you to have and experience true joy, because He that's who He innately is. This week, we kick off our aptly named "Joy" series as Kylen Perry points to a variety of Scriptures that all lead to one conclusion — the Joy you’ve been looking for came looking for you.
Mark as Played
Has your jealousy turned everyone around you into the competition? This week, our lead pastor and elder, Timothy "TA" Ateek, leads us through 1 Samuel 18 to show us how different people dealt with the future king David's success, and what it means for us to celebrate the success of those in our lives who seem to turn everything they touch to gold.
Mark as Played
How do we pick up and put back the pieces when we're suffering — and how do we reconcile that God allowed it to happen? This week, as we close out our "Deconstructed" series, Kylen Perry walks us through John 16 to remind us that God has made us a way through our suffering now and will one day remove it forever.
Mark as Played
Two things can be true: Life can be hard and God can be good. This week, this idea is unpacked as Kylen Perry points to Matthew 11 to show us how God meets us in moments of disappointment and reminds us of His truth when we come to a crisis in our faith.
Mark as Played
Rather than conforming our lives to the truth, we often try to conform the truth to fit our lives. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through John 18 as we see Jesus answer the question "What is truth?" — a question many of us might be asking ourselves.
Mark as Played
Has your church experience felt like a bait and switch? As Kylen Perry picks back up in Matthew 23, we can be encouraged that no matter how big an issue we have with religious hypocrisy, Jesus has a bigger one — and that He has come to heal the hurt in His church.
