Marriage Material: Deferred Maintenance | Part 4 39:21

1M ago39:21

39:21

Life is busy, isn’t it? There is so much to do and so little time. There are so many things we intend to do and want to do but never get around to doing them. The urgent has our full attention, and important things take a back seat. And over time, little by little, the love that started out as a blazing fire has all but gone out. How do you rekindl…

Marriage Material: Stress to the Structure | Part 3 39:47

2M ago39:47

39:47

One of the challenges of marriage is that life is constantly changing. You change jobs, move to a new city, or add kids to the equation. All of these, no matter how good, add stress to the relationship. Unfortunately, we tend to move through all these changes without realizing that, at each stage, our marriage needs specific reinforcement to suppor…

What you build with matters. The quality of the materials has a direct impact on both the beauty and the longevity of what you are building.

39:06

The foundation, in large part, determines the overall success, sustainability, and stability of a structure. The foundation of your marriage is the most important part of your marriage.

Anxiety: Into The Storm | Part 4 38:16

38:16

We live in an age of anxiety—the dailiness of life presses upon us. Uncertainty, fear, worry, stress, and trauma invade our peace of mind. We have come to live with chronic anxiety as a normal and expected thing. Is this just the way life is? Is there any relief, any hope? Can we break free from the downward spiral of anxiety? Jesus of Nazareth is …

Anxiety: The Soul Of Shame | Part 3 38:23

4M ago38:23

38:23

Shame and anxiety often form a destructive partnership in our lives. Every one of us hears the voice of shame at some point. It whispers that we are failures, fundamentally flawed, and unworthy of acceptance and belonging. It taunts us with thoughts like, "If only you were smarter, more attractive, thinner, or more successful." As shame casts its s…

Savior: It Is Finished | Part 6 37:11

4M ago37:11

37:11

There are few things in life where we feel like they are fully finished. There always seems to be more to learn and grow. Every relationship can go deeper or get better. In our careers, there’s the incessant need to keep advancing. We live not in the DONE but in the DOING, ever striving and rarely arriving. And we feel this spiritually: I need to D…

Savior: Into Your Hands | Part 5 37:37

4M ago37:37

37:37

Who do you trust? Is there someone you trust fully? Trust is difficult, isn’t it? Even the closest people in our lives hurt us, let us down, or been untrustworthy. What about God? Can you really trust God? The truth is we want to be in control. The problem is we have far less control than we care to admit. Jesus' final act on the cross wasn’t to ta…

Savior: The Human Experience | Part 4 36:48

5M ago36:48

36:48

What do you really want? What is your deepest desire? We try to cover up our neediness with activity and achievement. We quench our soul's thirst with trivialities. Yet the ache, the thirst, returns. This is the human experience. Can anyone or anything satisfy the soul craving? And how does a crucified God make any difference in the human experienc…

38:32

How would you define paradise? Perhaps it’s a place, a scenic explosion for the senses– a breathtaking beach, a majestic mountain getaway, a quiet garden.

Savior: The Beautiful Exchange | Part 2 41:29

5M ago41:29

41:29

Difficulty, pain, and hurting are inescapable. We often endure life's troubles and wonder what it really means when the church says “God cares”? Could a Jesus suffering on a cross actually care about my suffering? More than that, what if He did more than care, what if He offered to meet our needs? Join us as we explore the hope that the Wounded Hea…

Savior: The Wounded Hand | Part 1 33:20

5M ago33:20

33:20

The idea of a savior strikes us as a bit odd. We are too sophisticated and enlightened to need a savior. Can’t we save ourselves? And yet the person drowning loses all sophistication, crying out in desperation for saving. Whether we like it or not, we all are looking for someone or something to save us– that relationship, self-actualization, our ca…

6M ago37:23

37:23

The average person will spend about ⅓ of their life at work or around 90,000 hours working. For many, anxiety, stress, and burnout are unwelcome byproducts of their careers.

Unstuck: Friction | Part 5 37:42

6M ago37:42

37:42

Every relationship, no matter how good or godly, will experience conflict. How we respond to conflict and difficult conversations will either make or break our friendships, marriages, and families. Conflict is actually an opportunity to grow in depth and intimacy relationally. Yet most of us never had a good example of how to resolve conflict well.…

Unstuck: The Lonely Place | Part 4 37:56

6M ago37:56

37:56

We are more connected than ever as a society, and yet, at the same time, we have an epidemic of loneliness in our world. Why are so many so alone in such a socially connected world? The longing of every single person is to belong, to truly know another person, and to be known by them, to love and be loved. How do you experience deep, meaningful, li…

In Silicon Valley, we live under immense financial pressure, with the ever-elusive goal of financial freedom beyond the grasp of many. We tend to believe that if we made more, we would finally be financially free-- retire young, own a nice house, and travel the world whenever we desire.

Why does it feel like the more we get, the less we have of what matters most? More money but less peace. More things, but we enjoy less. We are more connected yet feel all the more alone.

Controversial Jesus: Jesus and Enemies | Part 5 37:23

9M ago37:23

37:23

Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” That sounds nice but it is not realistic. How do you love the friend who betrayed you? How do you love your ex who stabbed you in the back? How do love the boss or coworker who has gone out of his/her way to make your life miserable? How do you love the person whose spread lies a…

Controversial Jesus: Jesus and Marriage | Part 4 41:23

10M ago41:23

41:23

Jesus’ redefinition of marriage was so controversial that in his day even his own disciples said, “If this is how it is, then it is better to avoid marrying in the first place.” The disciples’ words echo the view many today hold towards marriage. Is marriage just an antiquated tradition from a bygone age? What is marriage all about? What is God’s v…

We live in a culture where your sexuality has come to define your identity. Desire is sacred and ultimate. And anything that stands in the way of desire is evil. And yet the deep longing for intimacy persists and is left unmet. Could there be an intrinsic connection between love, sex and God that we have missed?…
