STUDIO

We're all on a journey of becoming. Every season is shaping us. The only question is... who are we becoming? When life feels hard or uncertain, it's easy to find ourselves praying, "Lord... when is this going to change?" I've prayed that more times than I can count. But what if God is inviting us to ask a different question? What if this season isn't just about what you're going through... but abo...

This Sunday we continued our series on Favor by exploring what it means to have favor with man. Luke tells us that Jesus "grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52). While we've spent much of this series talking about God's favor toward us—His delight, love, and covenant faithfulness—we shifted our attention to the reality that favor also exists in our relationships wit...

This week at STUDIO, we welcomed back Nate Edwardson, from The Stirring in Redding, California. He took us into 1 Samuel 16, where God chooses David to be the next king of Israel. At the heart of this story lies a profound truth: before God anoints a new generation, He first heals the spiritual fathers and mothers who will pour into them. The prophet Samuel is stuck in mourning over Saul's failure...

This past Sunday we continued our conversation on favor and looked at one of the most fascinating verses in the life of Jesus: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52) For years I've read that verse and wondered: How does Jesus grow in favor with God if He is already fully loved by the Father? What emerged was a framework that has helped me think about fav...

This past Sunday we talked about Favor — and how many of us have misunderstood it. We often think favor means success, open doors, influence, or easy circumstances. But Psalm 30:5 reveals something much deeper: favor is first about God’s posture toward us. His face turned toward us with delight, nearness, goodwill, and love. One of the most important ideas from the talk was this: pain can coexist...

This past Sunday Eric shared a personal message about four things his mom taught him over the course of her life. Four years after her passing, her life still continues to shape his in profound ways. • Create Space for Becoming — She created environments where people could discover who God made them to be instead of pressuring them to become something else. • Always Worship — Worship wasn’t just a...

This Sunday’s message, “The Y in the Wilderness,” reminded us that wilderness seasons often bring us to a fork in the road—a choice between striving in our own strength or trusting in God’s promise. Through the story in Galatians 4, we saw the contrast between Hagar, representing performance and self-reliance, and Sarah, representing grace and the fulfillment of God’s promises. So often, we feel p...

Over the past several weeks, we’ve been walking through Why Church? Why Gather?—and this Sunday we turned the corner and asked a more personal question: Why Studio? We didn’t start Studio because the world needed another church. We started it because we believed something essential was missing—that faith and life were never meant to be separated. Studio is a place where God and people meet, where...

This week we stepped into the resurrection story in Luke 24 and heard the question that still echoes today: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” From the very beginning, God’s heart has always been about relationship. In the Garden, He walked with humanity—close, present, near. Sin didn’t just make us guilty, it created distance. But the entire story of Scripture is God relentlessly mo...

We are on a journey of rediscovering our why: Why Church, Why Gather, Why Studio. As Simon Sinek says, “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe.” We are continuing to dig into Why We Gather because, at a basic level, gathering is a core value and priority for a disciple and follower of Christ, as well as a pathway to life and experiencin...

This past Sunday we were privileged to hear from Jeremy Gagnon, as he shared his passion for the bible and provoked us to dig into Seeing the Face of God as we read The Word. The Scriptures aren’t just information, but they’re meant to transform us. Often, we come to the Bible with our modern lens, which can be like trying to “bring an iPhone into the Middle Ages.” Instead of letting the text spea...

As we continued week five of our "Why Church" series, we explored some challenging yet transformative truths about gathering as the body of Christ. This sermon explored the biblical and historical foundations for why we gather on Sundays and how our approach to gathering has shifted from the early church to today. We examined the difference between attending out of obligation versus gathering beca...

This week in our series Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio? We stepped into a deeper conversation often called ecclesiology—the study of the church. At the heart of the message was a simple but important question: Can formation and maturity happen in isolation? Scripture makes something clear—while salvation is deeply personal, it was never meant to be lived out alone. In a culture shaped by “me,...

This week we continued our series “Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio?” with a simple but important realization: we are Western people reading an Eastern book. Most of us don’t realize the tension that creates. We live in a culture that begins with “I”—my faith, my truth, my relationship. But the Bible was written in a world that began with “we.” Identity wasn’t self-determined; it was covenantal....

This past Sunday, Pastor Rheva continued the series Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio? by helping us reflect on why the church exists—and why gathering actually matters. Throughout Scripture, God does not save individuals in isolation; He forms a people for the sake of the world. Our faith was never meant to be lived alone. She shared that the church exists to host God’s presence, form God’s peop...

Have you ever done something for so long that you forget why you’re doing it in the first place? This is called ritual drift. Over time, we can fall into habits and rhythms without remembering the original purpose behind them. This past Sunday, we began a new series titled “Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio?” We took time to revisit what the church actually is—because when we understand what it i...

This past Sunday was Heart & Vision Sunday. We recapped 2025 and talked about 2026. This is a year of Taking Ground and Expanding Territory . These two ideas embody what we are setting our sights on: seeing you take ground and expand territory in your inner world and in your life. For more info, you can go to our website , check us out on Instagram , Facebook , or YouTube . If you would like t...

For STUDIO’s 4th Birthday Celebration, we welcomed back Julian Adams. He spoke from Luke 5:17-26 , which tells the story of four faithful friends who broke through a roof to bring their paralyzed companion before Jesus. Julian’s main point was this: we are living in a season where 'the power of the Lord is present to heal.' This isn't just a historical observation—it's a prophetic declaration over...

This year we are responding to God calling us to expand our territory and take ground - not just around us, but within us. We’re turning four as a church, and this feels like a holy growing-up season. It’s a good time to be alive, to mature and step into all that God has for us. For us to do this we want to get more free. Freedom is not something we get apart from God - we get it when we step into...

The very fact that you can dream, imagine, and look ahead is evidence that you were designed for the future. Scripture is filled with moments of stepping into the new—moving from glory to glory, crossing rivers, leaving what’s familiar—and we believe this year holds that same invitation for us. As Prayer and Fasting begins, we’re creating space to listen, to reset our posture, and to let hope shap...

This Sunday, we slowed down a familiar story and discovered just how disruptive it really was. In Luke 2, the announcement of Jesus’ birth may have taken only about 30 seconds, but in that moment the veil between heaven and earth thinned, time seemed to pause, and everything changed. What looked small—a baby in a manger, an announcement to shepherds—was actually God making a move that would shake...

In this episode reissue, Pastor Eric reminds us that the birth of Jesus is not an isolated moment—it’s a pivotal chapter in the much bigger story God has been writing since the beginning. Scripture is full of hints and shadows pointing toward His arrival and His mission for humanity. But here’s something we often overlook: Jesus spent the first two years of His life in exile. Matthew 2:13 tells us...

We pray you are filled with joy as we step into this month of celebrating Jesus - God born among us and changing our human story forever. We have so much to rejoice in and to give thanks for. The holiday season is often filled with gatherings, celebrations and yummy food, and we pray that in the midst of it all, you are able to enjoy the richness of life that we have in Christ! Psalm 23:5 (TPT) sa...

As you know, we can get scars on our bodies from injuries and medical procedures. There are other kinds of scars that no one can see but anyone around you will experience them. Let’s call them Mental Scars, these scars develop when painful and hard circumstances take place in our life. Science is showing us that mental scars actually build up scar tissue in our brain. When mental scar tissue devel...

This past Sunday, we had the great privilege of hosting Jonathan & Melissa Helser. Jonathan released a powerful word that invites us into a profound exploration of what it means to run the race of faith for the long haul. Drawing from Hebrews 12, we're reminded that we're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—heroes of faith who have gone before us, cheering us on. The central challenge is...
