The holiday season is here! It is supposed to be one of the most joyful seasons of the year, but for many, it is a hard season. Listen in on our "Holiday Hurts" series as we take a look at God's plan to make it a joyful season.

Anxiety is one of those areas that many of us struggle with the most, and it compounds many hurts that we deal with. The truth is that anxiety won't always go away, but it can be used to bring us closer to God.

Responding to Hurricane Ian, Blake shares at what is really going on when we feel like God isn't around.

We know we need to change, but the pain of change is not enough to get us going forward. We all need to make a change. We won't change until the pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of changing. Listen in as we talk through how to make a change.

There are so many God-sized opportunities around you. Have you missed them? Listen in this week as Dr. Mark Davenport shares how to see the needs of others.  

Life is hard...way harder than we thought sometimes. One of things that we do to protect ourselves is turn our hearts "off" so that we don't feel the hurt anymore. The problem is we also don't feel the good. Whether is from disappointment, frustration, emotional pain, guilt or fear there is something that has caused us cut ourselves off from the world. So many of us want God to fix our heart but God doesn't want to mend our broken heart...he wants to do one better. He wants to give a new one. #heart #hope #god #healing #sarasota #sarasotacounty #church #new

Have you ever wanted a super power? They seem like they would make our lives so much better. There is one that would be harder to live more than most. Invisibility. To never to be truly seen would be one of the hardest things to do in life. Do you ever feel that way in your relationship with God and others? Many of us feel like we are invisible to God in parts of our lives and that He really doesn't see our needs or what is happening in our lives. This couldn't be further from the truth. Let's jump in today and learn about El Roi, "The God Who sees Me".

Have a hard time saying "no"? Us too...This comes down to boundaries. Boundaries are something many of us struggle with and have a hard time following a setting. One of the reasons we struggle to say "no" is because we have decided what to say yes to, and we don't have boundaries in our lives. Our families and relationships need them to thrive. Listen in as Pastor Blake speaks on the true, positive, and life-giving reason for boundaries and how to follow in the footsteps of Jesus to create amazing boundaries in our lives. #boundaries #Jesus #relationship #family #hope #help #church #churchonline
