BREATH, DOVES, CLOUDS & FIRE: Week 1- "TRINITY: 3 IN 1 HOW TO EXPAND YOUR VIEW" 05.07.2022

We all have moments when we feel lost and alone, not sure what decision to make or path to take. And when these moments come, it spikes our anxiety and shakes our confidence. God’s solution to this is to give us His Spirit . But what does that mean? How do we relate to the invisible? If that sounds mysterious, abstract, and confusing to you, you’re not alone. The writers of Scripture spoke of the...

I NEED A VOCATION: Week 4- "DOES UNGLAMOROUS WORK MAKE ANY REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD?" BY ALEC ALVARADO 05.07.2022

This is a play on words. The one where we have hit that wall in life and thought, “Man I seriously need a vacation!”? Most of us have. We want to run away, relax, regroup and refresh. But, can 2-weeks off really make up for the toll, damage and weight our jobs take on our mental, emotional, and relational health the other 50 weeks of the year? Is it possible to find fulfillment in a job you’re not...

I NEED A VOCATION: Week 3: " Aren't Most People Burnt Out Between Vacations" 23.06.2022

This is a play on words. The one where we have hit that wall in life and thought, “Man I seriously need a vacation!”? Most of us have. We want to run away, relax, regroup and refresh. But, can 2-weeks off really make up for the toll, damage and weight our jobs take on our mental, emotional, and relational health the other 50 weeks of the year?

I NEED A VOCATION: WEEK 2 - "What If You Can't Get Paid To Do Something You're Passionate About?" 14.06.2022

This is a play on words. The one where we have hit that wall in life and thought, “Man I seriously need a vacation!”? Most of us have. We want to run away, relax, regroup and refresh.

I NEED A VOCATION! - Week 1: "IS IT POSSIBLE TO NOT HATE GOING TO WORK?" 07.06.2022

Have you ever hit that wall in life and thought, “Man I seriously need a vacation!”? Most of us have. We want to run away, relax, regroup and refresh. But, can 2-weeks off really make up for the toll and damage and weight our jobs take on our mental, emotional, and relational health the other 52 weeks of the year? Is it possible to find fulfillment in a job you’re not all that passionate about? Ca...

DEFEATING DEPRESSION: Week 5- "WHAT IF SOMEONE I’M CLOSE TO SEEMS DEPRESSED?" 31.05.2022

All of us know someone suffering from severe anxiety or depression (whether we know it or not). But statistically, so few seek help. It’s something we don’t want to admit to others, maybe even ourselves. And technically—what’s “severe” anyway? So, we suffer in quiet isolation, imagining the crippling sadness will somehow disappear as suddenly as it descended. But when it doesn’t, and the days turn...

DEFEATING DEPRESSION: WEEK 4- "WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE GETTING BETTER DOING?" 31.05.2022

DEFEATING DEPRESSION: Week 2- "WHY DON’T PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING SEEK HELP?" 09.05.2022

WORTH REPEATING: "Go And Make Disciples" 26.04.2022

There are lots of words, phrases, and slogans that get stuck in our head. These phrases get passed around, not because they’re profound, but because they’re catchy. We say them because everybody says them. All of which leads us to repeat things worth forgetting and to forget things worth repeating. Now Jesus, shortly before His death, knowing He was about to die, made a series of short statements...

HOW TO BE HAPPY: Week 4 (Jeff Fernandez) 01.04.2022

Everybody Everybody wants to be happy, but so few of us seem to be. Everywhere we look, we’re told we can find the happiness we’re chasing if we could just buy, achieve, or experience bigger, better, and more than what we currently have. So, why isn’t it working? Because most of us have it better than any humans ever have, but we still feel empty and hollow. What are we missing? How does happiness...

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME: Week 4 28.02.2022

We all can fall into this trap of viewing ‘friends’ as leftover fragments from our youth. We think of friendship as a first-half-of-life focus. And obviously, now that we’re actual adults, we’ve got to get on with more ‘grown up’ priorities like a career, investments, marriage & children. But, truth be told, a friendless life isn‘t all that fulfilling. It leads to what sociologists have come t...

LIKE & SUBSCRIBE: Week 5 03.02.2022

Listen… we live in a world of sampling & scrolling. But everywhere we look, someone’s asking us to “like & subscribe” (literally and figuratively). Obviously, we do what most people do… ignore them. We browse anonymously, hold relationships loosely, and confirm plans with a “maybe” or “Yeah, I’ll see”. We don’t want to miss out on anything or be tied down to anyone. So we prefer to keep ou...
