100,000 EXPRESSIONS OF GRATITUDE. Can you imagine the type of change that can bring to a community? Lead Pastor Greg Lee walks us through how we can be part of a pandemic-like spread of gratitude that could change the trajectory of Northwest Indiana forever.

It's great to express gratitude to others... but does God know that you're grateful? In this special, Thanksgiving edition of On-Demand, Lead Pastor, Greg Lee explains one weird idea that can change the rest of 2020, and potentially years to come.

As we approach the holiday season, it seems like a miss to not talk about gratitude... and we mean actually speak out loud gratitude. Because, unexpressed gratitude communicates ingratitude.

Jesus lets us know what Christians are supposed to be known by... and it's not their political stances. It's their love. Let's have a conversation about the 4 things that make true love uncomfortable (especially during an election season).

Unity is not uniformity. When we talk about the importance of diversity we can see how our togetherness, especially during an election season, is necessary. So, let's talk about the 4 bold steps towards diversity we all can take.

When we look at the 2020 political landscape, we could all benefit from learning the phrases, "Help me understand" and "I could be wrong". Our humility leads to civility, and Christians are encouraged by the early church to model this type of behavior.

What do you get when you mix religion and politics? Politics. When we really boil down how the church and people who follow Jesus interact with our world there’s a clear separation between the way people identified themselves before and after Jesus.

When it boils down to it, at some point we've all been told "it's time to grow up". What if when we're talking about our faith, that phrase isn't a judgment... but an invitation?

When the early church was faced with horrible circumstances, James (the brother of Jesus) encouraged them with one thought: Just Hold On. The modern church, and Christians, could use the same encouragement.

We're all asking this question in some capacity: What do you do when you don't know what to do? The better question for most of us is: Who are you turning to when you don't know what to do?

It's human nature to avoid things we don't like. Because of that, it's easy to interpret discomfort, obstacles, and difficult things as something to escape from. What if there's a power to staying? #ChangeHappensHere #AreWeThereYet

We've all felt the tension of 2020. Some of us have been asking the question: "Are we there yet?" What if instead of struggling to get through it we embrace the tension... because pain without gain would be a shame.

Jesus is mad when we let our indifference get in the way of others following Jesus... specifically when it gets in the way of the next generation. #ChangeHappensHere #WhatMadeJesusMad

Jesus is mad when we let hypocrisy get in the way of others following Jesus. #ChangeHappensHere #WhatMadeJesusMad

Jesus is mad when we SETTLE for DISTANCE with people unlike us. #ChangeHappensHere #WhatMadeJesusMad

Have you ever been made to feel like you couldn't keep up with what rules kept you with the "in crowd"? What makes Jesus mad? When people measure spirituality with rule-keeping.

Have you ever been made to feel like an outsider? What makes Jesus mad? When anyone does or says things that keep outsiders outside.

Jesus paints a pretty descriptive word picture of what being #blessed looks like... and he doesn't mention anything about a fast car or nice house. So, what does being #blessed actually look like? Actually, mean?

So many times we use the phrase "I'll pray about it..." as a means of: 1) Trying to make something more encouraging 2) Moving a moment along without sounding dismissive 3) Seeming spiritual What if instead of saying "I'm the praying type" we actually were the praying type?

God never says he won't give you more than you can handle... He DOES promise that He won't give you more than HE can handle. In part 2 of "Dumb Stuff Christians Say" Lead Pastor Greg Lee walks us through how the sentiment that God won't give you more than you can handle can actually be a harmful phrase in your vocabulary.

Everything happens for a reason... sometimes that reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions. As Lead Pastor, Greg Lee, kicks off our series "Dumb Stuff Christians Say", we are challenged to understand life as competing wills... our will and God's will.

When we talk about the end times, there are two ways to go about it: 1) Unhealthy: Wonder when & how 2) Healthy: Wonder what now Lead Pastor, Greg Lee, walks us through a conversation about the end times, and what that means for you and me right now.

It's not "Christ & Country"... it's "Christ THEN country". Over the 4th of July weekend, Lead Pastor Greg Lee walks us through a candid conversation about what it means to be a Christ-follower and an American.

We all experience shame... the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging. Guest Speaker, and Church Planter, Lou Pizzichillo walks us through how shame affects us, and what to do (with God) about it.

As we celebrate dads this Father's Day, Lead Pastor, Greg Lee took some time to interview two dads on the Suncrest Staff. Take a listen to this rich conversation about the wins, adjustments, and legacies of fatherhood.
