It's tougher than ever to meditate on the things that matter the most. No wonder--there are up to 10,000 ads and messages competing for your daily bandwidth. They tell you what you need and who you should be. Pull over for a rest stop and learn how to lose your mind.

Sometimes you feel like you're on the outside looking in. Sometimes if feels like everyone else is looking in on you. How you respond can create a community with all the right people. In this message we focus on how we respond when the anxiety and stress of others hits.

As the song says, sometimes we are just "blinded by thirst". Let’s loosen our grips on those things that are causing us way too much stress.

One of Jesus' disciples is known more for his failures and shortcomings than anything he did right. He was impulsive and acted foolishly.

Join us and see what we can learn from this unlikely hero.
