Behavioral addiction doesn't just suddenly show up in our lives; it gradually creeps in without even registering on our radar. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Psalm 141's wisdom of pursuing self-control over indulgence even when it feels so out of our reach.

Emotions like fear and anxiety aren't inherently bad — they're warning lights that point to something else. But when those little alarms start going off in your head all the time, that's when they move from being a tool to an issue. This week, Tyler Moffett teaches from Psalm 46 to remind us that God is our refuge and strength so we don't always have to be on the defense.

We often find ourselves grappling with emotions and situations that leave us feeling out of depth. Some of us lead with our heads, while others are controlled by our hearts — but all of us need to find a healthier, gospel-centered way of navigating through our depression.

Many have sought the world's promises and turned up empty-handed, and while outright opposition to Christianity has slowly transitioned into curiosity, we as the Church don't have the luxury of sitting back. As Tyler Moffet walks us through 2 Timothy 3:10-4:8, we're reminded that we can't settle for fitting into a secular world — we're called to become consecrated followers of Jesus no matter the...

In a world where it's easy to find someone with a comfortable opinion rather than facing hard truths, it's more important than ever to identify and flee from any voice that contradicts Scripture. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 2 Timothy 3:1-9 to remind us not only to skillfully avoid the dangers of false teachers, but also to closely follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

You can’t control when a crisis comes, but you can control your composure when it does. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 2 Timothy 2:14-26 to show us how God instructs us to live honorably in a dishonoring day.

A lot of predictions about the end times have been swirling around, and while no man knows the time or day of Jesus' return, Scripture instructs us to live as if the end is near — because it is. This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek walks us through 1 Peter 4:1-11 to show us how to live with urgency as believers.

When Christians begin to look and respond like everyone else, it's worth asking, "Where have the strong people gone?" This week, Tyler Moffett leads us through 2 Timothy 2:1-13 to show us what Paul describes as the way to godly strength.

We have to stop trying to create God in our own image — and we have to believe Him when He tells us who He is.

This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Scripture to show us God's design for the way we feel and express love.

What do you do when it's time to call it quits? This week, Kylen Perry gives us a biblical framework for breaking up with grace. While the Bible doesn’t give us a detailed blueprint on how to break up with our significant other, it goes into great detail on how to treat one another in all circumstances.

It's time to rethink how we view boundaries; it's not about how far we can go, it's about viewing God as too good to get near the line. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 1 Thessalonians 4 to remind us of God's heart to protect us through emotional, physical, and spiritual boundaries.

Dating is a process you move through, not a status you sit in — so how do you move toward the next step with wisdom?

Do you find yourself burned by toxic relationships, unending lust, accidental situationships, and disapproval from those who are supposed to be in your corner? This week, Tyler Moffett points to the story of Peter in Luke 22, and we see that the Lord is not scared of our broken past, but instead He is calling us into a future of freedom.

So many of us have found dating to be less blissful than we hoped and more painful than we expected. And there’s a good reason for that: dynamics have changed, advice from so-called "experts" varies, and the world is more confusing than ever. This week, we want to make dating a little easier with some biblical truths that should change the way we navigate romantic relationships.

While we all want to skip the stress and hack our way to happily ever after, you've probably been left wondering, "Is dating supposed to be this hard?" This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Scriptures that show us how to build relationships that last based on the picture given to us by the One who loved us first.

Are you sick of people telling you singleness is a gift? While the Bible supports the idea that singleness is not a season of life to endure, but a season of life to embrace, we know that doesn't mean it's without its challenges. This week, Kylen Perry walks through different reasons why healthy relationships can feel so far out of reach sometimes.

We all want to find love, but a lot of us don't know where to look.

Jesus is the One who gives the world around us meaning and significance — so what we believe to be true about Him matters. This week, guest speaker and executive director of discipleship, Dave Bruskas, leads us through Colossians 1 to remind us that Jesus is not just a representation of God, but God Himself, and that should change everything for us.

We can't settle for a cheap version of Christianity that in no way compares with the price Christ was willing to pay for us. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Exodus 33 to show us that if Jesus made a way for us to be with God, we have to prioritize seeking His presence.

Almost all frustration stems from unfulfilled expectations, but how do we react when faced with disappointment? This week, Tyler Moffett reminds us through 1 Kings 19 that zeal for the Lord does not imply a shallow pursuit when everything is going smoothly, but rather an energetic and unwavering commitment to God, even in times of trial.

Do you need to escape the comfort culture? In the Christian life, there are times when we voluntarily take on considerable costs for a considerable purpose. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through 2 Timothy 2 to remind us that a consecrated life is one that is uncommonly devoted.

Is your repentance genuine? This week, Kylen Perry walks through 2 Corinthians 7 and challenges us to think through the difference between godly grief and worldly grief. There is no real repentance without a dramatic removal of our sin and that all starts with a brokenness over it.

A conversation usually marked by division and shame is brought to the stage as we welcomed author and modern theologian, Brenna Blain, along with Kylen Perry and Timothy "TA" Ateek, to discuss what it looks like to have a Biblical perspective on our sexuality.
