As we approach Thanksgiving week in the midst of the noise and chaos of our present world, how do we find our way to a place of quiet and peace? Where do we look for the security and assurance that allows us to have a reason for thanks no matter what storm we face?

As a follow-up to last week's discussion, we take a look at Ephesians 5: 21-33 and how submission, love, and respect express themselves in the marriage relationship. How are the instructions given to men and women the same and how do they differ?

Joel Hamernick leads a panel discussion of three men of our Fellowship as they share the joys and challenges of married life. How has the commitment of marriage and family made them better men than they might otherwise have been?

Join us as Kurt Ver Beek of the Association for a More Just Society shares with us the key motivation and driver for overcoming fear and engaging our world in the work of justice. Also, how in the name of Christ we can celebrate even the smallest successes. Knowing that things done in concert with His kingdom and purposes are right by their nature and not their magnitude.

What does it mean to go beyond compassion for those in need to doing the work of restorative justice we are called to do on their behalf? What are some practical ways we can most effectively use our voice and influence as representatives of Christ in this world? Join us as author Dominique Dubois Gilliard shares on the subject of his new book "Subversive Witness: Scripture's Call to Leverage Privilege"

What are some of the ideologies of our day that have clothed themselves in the symbols and language of Christianity? How do they do harm to our witness of the gospel and how can we most effectively resist them?

Why are we so tired and how do we find real rest from the demands of our work and the challenging circumstances of life? What is driving us and how do we stop and experience the rest for our soul Jesus speaks of in Matthew 11:28-30?

How do we push back against the messages in our culture that appeal to our desires and fears? The messages that tell us life is found in the abundance of things we possess. What did Jesus say about the danger of consumption and where the "good life" is actually found?

What is a practical first step we can take to counter the forces of fear and distrust in our culture that are dividing us from one another? How do we follow Jesus in inviting those who are different into the community He is building?

What are the forces at work in our culture that take us away from God's purposes in our life? How do we recognize these very dangerous Rip Tides and what wisdom does the Scripture give us in countering them?
