Our instinct as people is to believe that any and all pain is bad. So when we cry out to Jesus to stop the pain, and he doesn’t, we get upset. Don’t. Instead, press into him and wait on His collateral beauty.

The church is Jesus’s warrior bride and Jesus has entrusted that heart to his believers, to us. But how should the term ‘warrior bride’ apply in a world where military terms relate differently than it did in the past?

Sometimes it’s overwhelming how innate doing sinful acts can be. From joy to anger from generosity to greed, from peace to anxiety; the descent into sin is a path that is familiar. We often swing back and forth, trying to stay in the narrow road and then punishing ourselves for failure for returning to sin. But it doesn't have to be that way. Listen as Pastor Chris Rattay applies John 1:14-17 & John 8:2-11 and talks about how Jesus’s choice to not condemn us is more freeing than a life of self-restriction and self-judgment and how there can be grace found in truth.

In the last two weeks, we’ve discovered the groom side of Jesus, the romantic, loving side of Jesus. This week we are talking about the side of Jesus that we do not often talk about - the revolutionary? Why is Jesus so angry? What is it that sets him off? Listen as Pastor Chris Rattay talks through Mark 11:15-18 and what makes this passage so important and how it can still apply today.

Jesus is the most tangible expression of God. He is our grace upon grace, especially when we run dry. Listen as Pastor Chris Rattay speaks about Jesus at the wedding of Cana and how He was invited to perform a miracle and how we can do the same.

When God calls us to risk, how are we choosing to respond? Are we waiting for an invitation to engage with others? Or do we approach each person with an aggressive front? Listen to Pastor Chris Rattay talk about Acts 8 and how to approach others with respect and our individual uniqueness.

In those moments where there is a choice, whose relationship is more important to you?

Without courage, there can be no compassion. In the face of fear, how do we live a Jesus-centered life?

Taking risks is not always about the conclusion - sometimes it's about the process too. Will you be like Peter and choose to step out of the boat despite the fear of sinking?

On the idea of religion, what it means to be spiritual, and living an authentic life with God.
