This is a 60-minute, family-friendly immersive experience that makes the story of Christmas feel larger than life. It’s more than just a traditional candlelight service. It’s a chance to discover joy that stays with you all year long.

What do you do when your Christmas isn't perfect?Shouldn't Christmas be perfect? Presents under the tree, stockings by the fireplace, family you actually like being around...the problem is, all those things you see in the movies rarely happen in real life. This week, Brian Tome shows us how Clark Griswold's pursuit of a perfect Christmas in the classic, Christmas Vacation, mirrors what a lot of us are looking for in the Christmas season. The only problem is: the first Christmas wasn't perfect to begin with. Join us as we learn about a God who makes perfection out of chaos. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Why does A Christmas Story still hit after all these years? 

In Part 3 of Christmas at the Movies, we uncover why this classic connects so deeply and how it points to the heart of Christmas itself. Beneath the nostalgia is a powerful truth: God isn’t a taskmaster, He’s a giver. From childhood longing to the Christmas story in Scripture, this message explores what it means to trust a generous Father.

What would you ask God for this Christmas if you really believed He was good?

Fake can look pretty (ever heard of Instagram?), but sometimes our lives can feel like that fake Christmas tree in your living room. It's beautiful, perfect, and also..sterile and lifeless.

This week, Kyle Ranson uses the Bible (and also the classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas") to show us how God stepped away from perfection to chase something better: you.

What’s your Christmas season strategy? All of us have one. Maybe you’re trying to wring every bit of cheer out of the holiday like it’s a tube of toothpaste, or maybe you have a schedule so bare it would make the Grinch jealous.

But what if there’s a better way? This week, Alli shows us how strategies we find in the most unlikely of places (like, say, 2004's “Christmas with the Kranks”) points us back to a timeless truth of how to get the most out of this holiday.

Eves aren’t just for Christmas anymore. We love Christmas, but who decided we start celebrating on November 1st? Let’s not skip over one of the only holidays dedicated to something God actually commands us to do—be grateful.

Deserts and rainforests. One day  life feels like you’re stuck in a desert, begging for rain. Other times feel like rainforests—life is lush and you’re swinging through the vines like George of the Jungle.

Why does God feel so far away in one, yet, so close in another?

This week, Brian Tome shows us how God isn’t just with us in the good times, but uses every season of life to accomplish His main goal—to make us look more like Him.

Imagine this: you’re lost in the woods. Your flashlight just died. Your phone, too (turns out flashlight mode makes that happen faster??). What do you do?

All of us have lies whispered to us that we carry around that want to KEEP us stumbling around in the dark.

This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how when you feel lost in the valley, there’s not only a light, but there’s a light that comes to find you. (Also, this is a part 2. If you missed it, go back and watch Kyle’s last talk before this, and thank us later).

Mountains aren’t just in national parks—they show up in your life, too. Kyle shows how even the tiniest step of faith can turn a looming obstacle into a story of triumph. Faith isn’t about certainty or magic. It’s about taking the first step, trusting God, and moving forward even when the peak looks out of reach. Get ready to start climbing.

God can’t be controlled. Yet, we think the more we do the good “church things”, God will respond with giving us all the cool stuff we want. Not so. In a special message under the tent at Base Camp, guest speaker Jon Tyson shows us how real freedom (and maybe even some of that stuff we want) can only be found in God—in true surrender.
