Creation vs evolution … The big bang theory … Does God exist or have we just made Him up? What does the evidence tell us? Can we ever really know?

What makes you get up in the morning? What makes you want to? There’s nothing quite like that sweet spot when you know you’re doing exactly what you’re wired to do. But the truth is if the sweet spot is task or job description, it’ll fall short sometime … Because we’re created for more than what we choose to do.

As humans, we’re wired to be curious — to have questions, to wonder, to explore. We’re born with a drive to understand the big questions of life, including questions about the Creator of it all. How do we even ask such big questions — and how can the conversation be hopeful and respectful?

Of all the things that matter to us, it’s almost always the people we do life with that make the most difference. Easy to say, easy to agree with … but often more challenging to carry out. Because when it comes down to it, people and relationships don’t come with a consistent set of instructions … they’re both complicated. How do we keep it simple?

Whether we’re building our future, working toward financial freedom, or just trying to keep the bills paid, the measuring stick is often marked with dollar signs. We inch toward our goals with every billable hour, every shift, every contract. So, what are the goals we’re working toward? How do they align with what’s really important to us?

Where do the days go? What’s the value of time in our day-to-day lives? What are we willing to spend it on? It's easy to feel it’s all out of our hands, that all we can do is try to keep up if we want to accomplish all we hope to in our lives. When it comes to time management, who’s managing whom?

Building the life we want to live … it’s complicated sometimes. There’s so much to consider — responsibilities, opportunities, goals, balance … Wouldn’t it be great to keep things simple? Whatever building blocks we choose for the life we want to build, it all starts with a reliable foundation.

The followers of Jesus were shocked and devastated in the wake of His death, even in the face of the empty tomb — what now? How could they possibly hope to fill the gap He’d left? How do we fill the gaps in our lives — those places within us that keep us feeling hollow no matter how hard we chase down the things we believe will fill them? What are we looking for? Watch Easter at FAC!

The road stretches out before us, filled with opportunity and possibility … We can’t always see just where it will take us, what roadblocks or detours might be around the next bend - or when we’ll reach our destination. There will be times when the best part of the journey will be who we’re travelling with.

Sometimes it can feel as if life is stretching you beyond what you feel you can handle … like the pain of loss or transition or grief is draining the life out of you. You’re not sure you can keep putting one foot in front of the other, never mind feel you’re making a difference in the world. When it gets tough, how do you keep going? How do you find the good in it? What do you hang onto?
