Anxiety, fear, and depression are real. There is an enemy trying to influence your thoughts and feelings, but God is much more powerful than the darkness. In this message, guest speaker Louie Giglio shares how to keep the enemy from pulling up a seat at your table.

Depression and suicide are at record highs. Many of us feel stuck in a bubble of darkness, isolation, sadness, and hopelessness. What does the Bible say about this? In this message, we discuss what's true about depression, what the causes are, and how we fight it.

We're busy with our jobs, we're not getting enough sleep, and the pace of life feels faster than ever. Why are we so stressed out and what will help us experience God's peace instead? In this message, we cover the sources, side effects, and solutions to stress.

Statistics show that anxiety levels in young adults are at an all-time high. Why are we so anxious and what can we do about it? In this message, we explore what the Bible defines as anxiety and discuss 5 things Jesus taught on the subject.

Are you dateable, available… and still single? Are you worried about being single forever? In this message, we unpack 3 truths from God’s word about singleness.

What does it mean to be “united in surrender”? In this message, we talk about how we can all be united through surrendering ourselves to God. Maybe the greatest thing you could hear is that you’re not actually following God, and maybe understanding that will help you start following God. We are united when we surrender our sin and our lives to him.

We sit down with David Marvin, Jennie Allen, and Jonathan Pokluda to ask them all kinds of questions, ranging from what book they would recommend for us to read, all the way to what advice they would give our generation.

What does it mean to be “united in love”? In this message, we talk about how we can all be united through the love of Christ, even though our lives, our circumstances, and our sin all looks different. But Jesus and his love for us can overcome all differences. The truth is, we’re in a difficult place. But the Bible isn’t about making bad people good, but about making dead people alive.

What does it mean to be “united in worship”? In this message, we talk about how we can worship God being aligned with his story, and by understanding what it means to be a human as an image bearer of God. If you’re a human, you have a story. It’s impossible to be a human without a story. We’re all captured by a story, and we can be united in worshipping God when we are captured by his story.

What does it mean to be “united together”? In this message, we talk about how as humans, we were created for connection, and we’re designed to live in community. But at times, we wait on everyone around us to initiate, when we can initiate too. Jesus is a master initiator, and we can look to him to be our example.

What does it mean to be “united in truth”? In this message, we talk about how the Bible isn’t a self-help book, and the Bible isn’t about us. The Bible is about Jesus, and he is the main character from beginning to end. We can be united in truth when we realize that the Bible isn’t about us individually, but it’s about Jesus who unites us all in his love.

What makes a man dateable by God’s standards? We tend to let feelings and culture cloud our decisions when it comes to who we date. So in this message, we’re asking three questions that help us decide if he’s truly dateable or not.

Dating is a path that leads to a promise that leads to a lifelong pursuit. But just because you’re available doesn’t mean that you’re datable. In this message, we go through a checklist of priorities that will tell you if you are in fact, dateable.

Not everyone who claims to be a Christian will be in heaven, because it’s not just about your words. How can we be assured that we know Jesus and he knows us? In this message, we look at Matthew 7 to see what Jesus meant when he said, “Depart from me, I never knew you.”

When Jesus says, “Ask and you will receive,” is it really that simple? Does it mean we can manifest whatever we want if we believe it enough? In this message, we learn what Jesus actually means by this statement and the significance it has for us.

Have you ever wondered what we need to do to get to heaven? Are you just going through the motions of religion and faking it? In this message, we look at John 3 to learn what Jesus meant when he said “you must be born again” to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I'm sure when you think of your enemies, your first response isn't to love them. Culture may tell you differently, but that's exactly what we are to do as Christians. In this message, we learn what Jesus means when he says, "love your enemies."

Spiritual warfare is something very real, yet no one really talks about it. Sure we know Jesus wins the war in the end, but what does that mean for the everyday battles we face? In this message, we learn from Ephesians 6:10-18 how we can fight our battles.

Many of us buy the lie that we’re a good person, but there’s no universally accepted standard of what is good. Can we ever be “good” enough? In this message, we look at Mark 10:17-27 to learn three reasons why good people don’t go to heaven (but forgiven people do).

Believe it or not, the Bible isn’t prude. But the liberation of sexuality in our culture has led to bondage instead of freedom. In this message, we learn the problems porn creates and the principles God gives us for sex.

Sin may be fun for a moment, but it always has consequences. Why doesn’t sin stay fun forever? Why is every high followed by a low? In this message, we learn the reality and effects of sin so we can learn to get rid of it before it gets rid of us.
