As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we're reminded of both the fragility of life and the strength that comes from turning to God in difficult times. Pastor Jesse is here to share how remembering the past can inspire us to love our neighbors, serve those in need, and courageously share the hope of Jesus today.

From incredible stories of lives being changed through Grace Community Church's Compassion Clinic to a powerful reminder that God is still our source of comfort, healing, and hope, this will encourage us to keep our eyes fixed on Him.

What happens when faith, community, and soccer come together? The Sounders Faith & Family Celebration gave us a glimpse.

Through powerful worship, inspiring stories from the athletes, and Pastor Jesse Bradley's uplifting message about God's grace and joy, people from across the PNW came together to be encouraged, refreshed, and reminded of the hope we have in Jesus.

If you've ever wondered, "Can I still be a Christian if I have doubts?" you're not alone. The truth is, even some of the Bible's most faithful people wrestled with questions, uncertainty, and moments of unbelief.

Pastor Jesse is here with a reminder that doubt doesn't have to drive us away from God. Instead, when we bring our questions into the light and honestly seek Jesus, He meets us with grace, truth, and the reassurance we need to keep moving forward in faith.

When something heartbreaking happens in our city, it’s hard not to feel the weight of it. Talking with Pastor Jesse this morning is such a reminder to us all of how deeply we need Jesus’ peace, especially when fear and grief hit close to home.

As we process what happened yesterday, my hope is that we turn our hearts toward prayer, toward healing, and toward the God who still holds Seattle with love and purpose.

As soccer captures hearts worldwide, Pastor Jesse Bradley highlights how the tournament is also creating opportunities for evangelism, unity, and life-changing faith stories.

When the World Cup comes to your backyard, it’s easy to get swept up in the noise, but this convo reminds us that God is moving just as loudly. As Seattle fills with fans from every corner of the globe, doors are opening for everyday believers to share hope in simple, Spirit-led moments, whether it’s praying with a stranger on his 50th birthday or watching athletes boldly kneel in gratitude after a match.

There’s something powerful about seeing world‑class players drop the spotlight and lift up Jesus, showing that humility isn’t weakness but worship. Whether a team wins 3–0 or loses 7–1, the posture of praise stays the same. It’s a timely reminder that what happens on the pitch can teach us how to live off it, with courage, compassion, and a faith that refuses to stay hidden.

The World Cup has landed in Seattle, bringing 750,000 new friends and a tidal wave of energy with it. Erica teams up with Pastor Jesse Bradley to unpack the excitement, the faith, and the once‑in‑a‑lifetime moments happening all around us. Even if you’re brand‑new to soccer, you’ll feel right at home.

What is Faith Filter? We take what’s on our minds, what’s on our hearts, and what’s happening in the world… and put it through the filter of our faith and what God’s Word says about it.

Memorial Day always makes me pause and breathe a little deeper as I think about the men and women who gave their lives so we could live and worship freely. Pastor Jesse and I keep coming back to Jesus’ words about greater love, and how the sacrifice of our service members reflects that same self‑giving love.

My heart is full of gratitude, prayer, and awe for both God’s grace and the people who paid such a high price for our freedom.

Midweek Hope felt like one of those nights where the air practically buzzed with possibility—students from all over campus showing up curious, open, and ready to experience something real. What started as a simple space to focus on Jesus turned into a joyful, overflowing celebration, with hundreds receiving Bibles and many choosing to take new steps of faith. By the end, students were dancing, singing extra songs, and already asking when they could do it again.

Holy Week has a way of slowing us down—inviting us to breathe, reflect, and remember the story that changed everything. Good Friday isn’t just a somber moment in history; it’s the breathtaking reminder that Jesus tore the veil, carried our sin, and opened the way to the Father through a love deeper than we can fathom.

And Easter? It’s the explosion of hope that turns faith into something alive—anchoring us in a resurrection power that doesn’t fade when Monday comes, but walks with us into every ordinary moment, filling our homes, our churches, and our cities with the indestructible hope of Jesus.
