Slow down! Listen to and learn from the body God gave you – Learning to slow down and listen to your body is a vital part of stewarding your emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual well-being. Ignoring these needs feeds anxiety and leads to disconnection. We’ll explore body image through a spiritual lens and show how slowing down helps us care for the bodies God has entrusted to us.

Reflecting God through play – The entertainment industry has hijacked works like play and fun and could make a follower of Christ question their value and worth.

Let’s explore together how we can continue to embrace play and fun in a healthy way that shapes and matures our walk with Jesus and each other.

Contrasting Perspectives – how Human Diversity reflects God’s Creation – Church is a collection of individual creations of our Father. Just as His Creation perfectly revolves each day, we too can worship in harmony with those who think differently.

Finding Grace and Peace in abundance in a whole full of distractions and anxiety – The Bible promises us peace in Christ, but so often our lives are overrun by anxiety, fear, and anger. We want a deep relationship with God, but oftentimes it feels like going through the motions. We want to feel God in our lives, but a lot of times it’s static. What are we as Christians missing…what am I missing?

Enjoying God’s Presence – We have been created for God’s presence. All manner of human flourishing starts with living with God. In this breakout we will seek to take our devotions from “got to” to “get to” to “want to.” Which is the shape that spiritual growth takes.

How important is committing to a local church? – Commitment to a local church is not only Biblical, it is God’s guideline to a Biblical life. It is not only healthy, it is our prescription for health. The Church is not God’s weekend hobby for your life, it is his plan to save the world.

Women, Sex, and Power in the Bible: A Complicated Narrative – Sexuality is a topic that comes with a lot of emotions and questions. The Bible both praises and warns about women’s beauty and allure—it’s seen as part of God’s purpose in stories like Esther, yet also linked to temptation and seduction. That can make it feel like our natural attractiveness is something dangerous or even wrong. But the truth is any power comes with responsibility. Instead of seeing it as something to fear or suppress, we can learn how to respect and honor it with God as our guide. Let’s dive into what the Bible really says and how we can embrace this part of who we are in a way that aligns with His purpose.

Caring for the Vulnerable –  Jesus showed his deep commitment to the vulnerable when he said, “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me.” This has been a consistent theme held in the Bible. God’s people were called to draw others to him by serving those around them. Let’s dive in and explore how we can live out this calling in a meaningful way. After all, caring for the vulnerable is not a “nice to-do” but an absolute living out of our faith.

Relationships for Life – As we navigate through a world of uncertainties, God places “ordinary” people into our lives to walk with us. If we see it and engage, we have the opportunity to build legacy relationships. These are relationships for living and for life.

Under the headship of Christ: The beauty of submission  – Authority, submission & surrender are loaded terms. If only the culture knew, if only we knew, how good they really are. Good, when ordained by God and wielded by way of his Spirit. But just because they are good doesn’t mean they are easy.

In the Potter’s Hands – get your hands dirty with the demonstration of one of the Bible’s Metaphors – we are the clay, he is the potter. Let’s explore what that means with the guidance of a passionate hobbiest.
