Joy isn’t the absence of hard circumstances. It’s the presence of something deeper. We all know what it’s like to lose joy when life doesn’t go the way we hoped. When someone else gets the opportunity, the promotion, the attention, or the success we wanted. But lasting joy isn’t built on comparison or circumstances. It’s grown by the Holy Spirit as we learn to receive life as a gift, embrace our p...

Kindness is more than being nice. It’s seeing a need—and choosing to meet it. Real kindness is often inconvenient. Sometimes undeserved. Always selfless. It’s the kind of life the Holy Spirit grows in us as we learn to look beyond ourselves and love the people around us. The question isn’t just, “Am I a kind person?” It’s, “Who needs my kindness today?”

Most regrets don’t show up all at once. They start with small decisions, repeated over time. A habit you ignore. A relationship you neglect. A warning sign you explain away. A pace you keep even though you know it’s unsustainable. Wisdom isn’t just knowing what’s right. It’s seeing where today’s choices are taking you before you get there. Because the good old days aren’t just something to appreci...

The life you want tomorrow is usually built by the choices you make today. We all want peace, healthy relationships, financial stability, and a deeper life with God. But those things rarely happen by accident. Wisdom is the ability to see that today is connected to yesterday—and tomorrow is connected to today. The good old days aren’t just something you remember. They’re something you create. 

We spend a lot of life looking backward or looking ahead. Thinking about what was. Planning for what might be. Worrying about what could happen next. Meanwhile, the life we’re longing for is happening right now. Jesus consistently pulled people back to today—to the people in front of them, the opportunities around them, and the God who is present with them. Because the past and future only matter...

Trust is easy when the numbers work. It’s harder when they don’t. Most of us don’t struggle to trust God in theory. We struggle to trust him when it affects our money, our security, and our plans. Because at some point, generosity stops being a math question and becomes a trust question. Not: “Can I afford to give?” But: “Do I trust God enough to put him first?”

A lot of us are living with financial stress because we never made a plan for our money—we just kept hoping a little more would fix it.

Money isn’t bad. But there’s a difference between using money… and loving it.

You don’t have to say “I love you” to mean it. But a lot of us go through life assuming people just know. They know I care. They know I appreciate them. They know how I feel. And sometimes the people closest to us are starving for words we thought were obvious. Because love is more than a feeling you carry internally. Love moves toward people. Love gives itself away. Love gets espressed. Not perfe...

You don’t just need to feel grateful. You need to say it. Because sometimes the words we never say carry more weight than we realize. Most of us aren’t trying to be ungrateful. We’re just tired. Busy. Moving from one thing to the next. And somewhere along the way, gratitude becomes something we feel generally but express rarely. But “they know” is not the same thing as “I said thank you.” Unexpres...

You don’t need someone to fix it. You need someone who won’t leave. Because when life gets heavy, most of us don’t need better advice—we need to know we’re not alone in it. But that’s harder than it sounds. We try to help from a distance. We rush to solutions. We quietly expect people to figure it out. And without realizing it, we miss what actually matters most. Real support sounds like: I’m with...

Greg & Mitch discuss your questions after "The Essentials"!

You don’t need more advice. You probably don’t even need more accountability. What you might need… is someone to see something in you that you can’t see yet. Because most of us are walking through life shaped more by what’s been said about us than what’s been called out of us. And the truth is—your words are doing that for other people, whether you realize it or not. You can criticize what’s obvio...

You don’t need more advice. You probably don’t even need more accountability. What you might need… is someone to notice what you’re doing right. Because most of us are walking through life carrying way more criticism than encouragement—and it’s shaping us more than we think. The truth is, your words carry weight. They can build someone up, or slowly tear them down. And most of us underestimate how...

Everything we believe rests on the resurrection of Jesus. He is God’s son who died on the cross for our redemption. In the resurrection, He demonstrated He is Lord of all.

Salvation is an act of God’s love and grace, free to anyone who trusts Christ as Lord.

Sin is our rebellion against God. It generates the brokenness we experience in this world, and the need for redemption in Christ.

Human Beings were created in the image of God, but we have all trusted ourselves instead of Him, resulting in sin.

The Holy Spirit lives in believers and provides everything necessary to live within the will of God.

Greg & Mitch take your questions from our series of messages "The Inner Life"

God is relational. He is the sovereign Creator and the Lord of all that exists. He is one and yet exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Scriptures accurately document the story of God, describing four movements: • Creation itself was perfect. • Our rebellion breeds the Brokenness we experience. • Yet, God loves us as we are and provides for Redemption in Christ. • Ultimately, one day God will bring the Restoration of all things. As followers of Jesus, we embrace the New Covenant Christ established, a calling to love people jus...
