Prayer is one of the most basic spiritual practices we're told to do, but when it comes down to it, how do you really do it? Jesus' disciples asked this same question. Listen in as Greg teaches through Jesus' response and instructions to us on how to pray.

During this wild quarantine season, most of us long for life to go back to normal. We all want to enjoy the same luxuries and necessities that we've lost during this time. But is it possible we've attached ourselves too tightly to temporary and imperfect things that can't really give us the safety, rest, and fulfillment we all long for? In today's teaching, we revisit's Jesus invitation to trust him and his way of life to find ultimate rest for our souls.

Welcome to our new summer series, "Stuff Jesus Said"! As humans, we can be more drawn to things that are more beautiful on the outside and people who seem to have it all together . Yet when Jesus walked on the earth, he surprised a lot of people when he sought out and hung out with the broken, lowly, and imperfect people. Listen in as Greg explains why this is such a significant characteristic of God's love for us.

In times of intense struggle and uncertainty, we all look for things we can hold onto to keep us grounded and secure in the storm.

Listen as Greg explains how each of these can bolster our sense of security in God even in times of struggle.

Doubt and fear love to remind us of our limitations and powerlessness in times of struggle, but the battle does not have to end there.

But we do have a weapon that is given to us through the gospel: Hope. Listen in as Greg describes this hope and how it functions as our weapon in the battle ground of the mind.

Times like these feel like a rollercoaster ride that none of us signed up for. For every good day when hope is just within our grasp, there's a bad day to follow. How do we manage to focus our attention on God's grace and not on our own power which always leaves us empty? Listen in as Greg uses Scripture to equip us for that ever growing battle of the mind.

What happens when we are fault for the messes in our life? Is there anything we could have done that is beyond forgiveness and grace?
