The Gospel | Ten Minutes To Change The World

The promised King was hurriedly placed in a tomb. This was not a twist in the story; it was an ending. A tragic ending. But in less than ten minutes, the world would never be the same. 

The Gospel | The Cross

Gospel is a familiar word, maybe so familiar that it's lost its power and vitality. Reclaiming the incredible depth and purpose of the gospel will transform our lives.

The Struggle Is Real | Caring

Mental Illness doesn't just impact the one suffering; it deeply impacts the people that love them. What does it look like to care for someone with mental illness? 

The Struggle is Real | Forgiveness

We don't always connect virtues with mental health but carrying around anger, and bitterness will weigh you down. Forgiveness is a path toward true healing. 

The Struggle is Real | Trauma

Tough things happen to all humans. How they impact us and how we respond is part of our journey toward healing. 

The Struggle Is Real | Anxiety

Ever felt your chest constrict and your heart rate increase? More than half of US adults will have a mental health disorder in their lifetime, and 20% in a given year. Sadly, a misunderstanding of Christian ideas makes the problem worse rather than better. How do Christians understand Scripture and Anxiety?

The Struggle Is Real / Depression

Depression is common today, but it has been common throughout history, even among those we would consider spiritual giants. 

The Struggle is Real / Myths

Dale, an elder at Woodbury and licensed family therapist, is addressing myths/stigmas related to mental health and faith. With his church/faith/therapy experience, he’ll be able to talk about where the two intersect, and some of the unhelpful ideas Christians have about mental health.

Elements // Church

The last element in our series and often a major target for people’s objections to faith. Bad church experiences prompt people to “love Jesus, leave the church.” But, the New Testament, the basis for the Jesus we love, doesn’t allow us to follow him and dismiss his body. How do we learn to love the imperfect church?

Elements // Jesus Only

Everyone loves Jesus but this question and its variations are some of the most challenging to non-Christians and Christians alike. How do we think about that challenging topic?

Elements // Jesus

How do we know that what is written in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is true? What if they were just making it up or got it wrong? There are some pretty unbelievable ideas in the Gospels. How do we substantiate 2,000-year-old claims about Jesus?

Elements // Bible

"There is no way these ancient documents haven't been corrupted." "They've been changed or lost; there's no way we have anything reliable." "It's so outdated; it's irrelevant and backward." How do Christians respond to these critiques? There are answers, and they may surprise you.

Elements // God

It's not often that we stop and asses WHAT we believe; less often do we asses WHY we believe it. We typically just float through life doing our thing. But sometimes circumstances, questions, and doubts force us to dig deep and figure out what our beliefs are all about. The best place to start is - what we believe about God. 

The First - Accomplish More By Doing Less

This time of year, we're flooded with messages about productivity and efficiency. People will start a new year trying to do and have it all. But what if doing more is about doing less? Seems counterintuitive, right? It is actually how we are designed (and blessed) by God! Tune in to learn more.

Finally. // King at Christmas

We rightly think of Jesus as Savior, Redeemer, and Teacher...but those words probably wouldn't be the first answer for the first Christians, and their answer has a huge impact on your life.

Finally. // Christmas & Covenant

52% of Americans LOVE Christmas. The other 48% like it in small doses. Maybe it's because we don't always pay attention to the entire story leading up to Christmas. Here's a Christmas series for the other 48%

Luke | Wild Horses

So, we serve a God who will always welcome us. That's good news, but how do you share that kind of news with people who don't realize they're lost?
