  • How Can You Really Know Who God Is?

    Many people walk away from a particular version of God but what if that is not His true identity? This week, we look at the identity of God as revealed by the one who know Him best...His Son! Maybe what we learn about God through the eyes of Jesus will welcome us back to Him.

  • The Bible Says So?

    If you walked away from church because the Bible says so, you may have walked away unnecessarily. What if there is a deeper truth that was missed? What if the focus is in the wrong place? Don't miss this part of our journey that may reopen the door to considering the faith once again.

  • Stop Shooting Our Wounded

    Many of you have walked away from God because you had that moment when you opened up and rather than feel heard, you were met with judgement and/or platitudes. Ken challenges those of us who call ourselves followers of God to learn from the de-conversion stories of others and create a culture where we are free to wrestle through doubt.

  • The Fear Factor

    What if? This is such a powerful question. It can cause us to create something new and perhaps change the world. There is a flipside though. It can cause us to retreat due to fear of the unknown. If we are honest, one of the reasons why may not neighbor well is because of fear. The overcoming life is not the absence of or the ignorance of fear but it is taking steps of courage inspite of it. Who knows, maybe your neighbor might become a life long friend.
