We want to invite you to join us in embracing the transformative power of communal prayer. In this message, we've explored how opening our lives to one another in vulnerability and dependence on Christ can be a profound gift.

Why We Might Be Resistant to Rest - Ryan Rhoden 19.05.2024 31:27
As a community, we've been exploring what it means to walk the narrow way and embrace spiritual disciplines like rest and Sabbath. This can be challenging, as our culture often pushes us to stay busy and productive. However, Jesus invites us into a different rhythm - one of peace, connection, and deeper relationship with Him. Join us as we have an open conversation about the resistances we face to...

We reject comparison and competition and champion an...
Becoming a People of Love - Ryan Rhoden 21.04.2024 27:32
Just as the Narrow Way is about less, JOHN 15 is about less. God's purpose in pruning is to make room for continued and ongoing growth, forming us into a resilient community of resilient disciples walking out a resilient faith. He won’t stop tending to the process of formation into a fruitful people who look and love like Jesus.
The Call to the Narrow Way - Ryan Rhoden 14.04.2024 56:29
“In a world that is counter to my growth into Christ-likeness, we must be aware of what is conforming or deforming us, and work to counteract it by actively pursuing formation into a people who look like Jesus and exhibit the fruit of our relationship with the Holy Spirit.” What is forming you, what is forming us? Therein lies the JESUS’ call to the NARROW WAY.

We dive into the topic of inheritance and what it truly means for us as followers of Jesus.

How You Are Known in Heaven - Kate Rhoden 11.02.2024 35:59
Gideon was a man easy to overlook. In the book of Judges we learn the history of Israel when it was under oppression from surrounding nations, suffering from frequent raids. These raids were the consequences of turning their backs on God for years, but finally, the people were beginning to call out to Him for deliverance. God heard them and picked Gideon to lead His people to freedom in battle.
Discovering Our True Identity in Christ - Ryan Rhoden 04.02.2024 48:50
Many of us have hindered our relationship with God (and others) because we drag who we think He wants us to be (or who we think others want us to be) before Him, while withholding our TRUE SELF. This is what we mean by living in our FALSE SELF. And living in our FALSE SELF can become so normal/natural that we don’t even realize we are doing it!

How Intimacy with God Flourishes - Ryan Rhoden 14.01.2024 23:14
Intimacy with God is a beautiful process, that requires a constant yes, and a willingness to travel with Him into the deeper places. Intimacy isn't about reaching "it" as a destination, it is all about the daily journey walking with him through hard things, trusting Him in every season, and being bold going after things in our lives that hold us back from Him. It is a beautiful journey, that requi...

Perceiving the New Thing - Advent Season - Ryan Rhoden 31.12.2023 35:28
Isaiah 43:18-21 - "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert…for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.” God is not fu...

Join us as we continue Advent, centering our heart on FAITH as we wait on Jesus, preparing our hearts to celebrate His birth, while also waiting for his arrival in and around the places in our lives that need Him desperately right now.

Living With Limits - Advent Season - Kate Rhoden 10.12.2023 38:32
We are continuing our journey through "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" this season and I am excited to be sharing with you this weekend on portions of the book that have been impactful and somewhat challenging, especially in a season that wants to push us to extreme limits. We will also move into the next week of Advent as we prepare our hearts to "receive" Jesus' LOVE into our homes and hearts...
Defining What Matters - Advent Season - Ryan Rhoden 03.12.2023 39:12
Each Sunday and the corresponding week in this Advent season, we have a specific focus to help prepare our hearts to “receive” Jesus into our homes and hearts on Christmas as we honor and celebrate His birth. The process of preparation is to slow down, remain focused on Jesus in the middle of a hectic season, and fight the urge to get spun up or spun out by consistently and persistently returning...
What To Do With Our Unanswered Prayers - Ryan Rhoden 23.11.2023 36:41
There are definitely prayers I can look back on and I’m very thankful that God didn’t move on my behalf and do what I wanted the way I wanted, and I have to admit that His Goodness and Wisdom have brought me here WAY better than my plan ever could have… But often when I think back across my prayer life’s journey, the moments that rise to the surface are the disappointment, disillusionment, confusi...
The Practice of Persistent Prayer - Ryan Rhoden 08.11.2023 32:26
Prayer forms us into a vessel for His presence, but it doesn’t earn anything. It doesn't earn my our into His presence by jumping through prayer hoops. I was taught that prayer accesses what Jesus' life and blood poured out established for us.
