There are countless amounts of infamous gifts in Christmas movies, but one stands above them all! (And no, we’re not thinking of the ‘Jelly of the Month Club'). The funny thing is, in all these movies, every gift is depicted as falling short of what truly is the reason for the season.

A high-powered gal from the coast returns to her seemingly insignificant small town in the Midwest in the heat of an ever so stressful time in her life. Looking to regain some sensibility or purpose, she instead finds what she’s been looking for all along… If this plot sounds familiar, there’s dozens that follow this script on that one “channel”. However, sometimes knowing what’s going to happen next is the just peace of mind we need.

Nothing will stop the tenacious love and drive one mother has for her son. She will cross countries via plan, bus, and van - all to be reunited with her child. We agree, there’s nothing quite as powerful when a Father and child are reunited once again.

He’s everyone’s favorite elf! Full of joy, holiday spirit, lots of sugar, and nothing ever seems to get him down. And while he might be a little disillusioned, Buddy the Elf shows us all the unique power and joy of a child-like faith.

The Mid-life crisis is defined as: an emotional crisis of identity and self-confidence that occurs in early middle age. Basically, it’s someone trying to hear from God about their purpose in life.

Have you ever seen the video of the cat who thinks it’s a duck? That’s the power of our community.

In week 3 of Hearing From God, we look to the most transformative way we hear from Jesus.

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone, and then you catch yourself not actually listening - just waiting for you turn to talk? If we’re honest, we’ve all done that before. Not only that, we would all probably agree it’s not the best way to have a relationship with someone we love. This week, we dive into the a way of Hearing From God that develops our love and trust for Him.

Every communication between two parties requires intentionality on both sides. In the most basic function, someone has to speak, and another has to listen! And while some things can get lost in translation, hearing clearly from someone is best when we listen directly to their voice. In week one of Hearing From God, we look to the most clear way to hear God’s voice.
