Picture Mel Gibson in a kilt with war-paint on his face… now, what comes to mind? Freedom!!!!! (Shoutout to Bravehart being one of the best movies of the 90s). We all want it and then usually more of it once we get a taste of it! Chances are the You In Five Years would crave more freedom - whether it’s financial, spiritual, emotional, relational. Well, let’s see how Scripture leads us to living with more freedom in life!

We’ve been praying for you! Specifically, we’ve been praying for you to desire to be closer to God this year more than ever before. If you’ve always wondered, “what does it take to be closer to God?” then don’t miss week 2 of You In Five Years!

It’s a new year! Congrats, you made it! And with the new year probably came some self-reflection. For almost all of us, the start of a new calendar grants us the natural pause to reflect on how to be ‘better’ for this trip around the sun. So, let’s learn how ‘unstuck ourselves’ and make the changes for the better!

No one ever could have predicted the way in which the King of the Universe would arrive on the scene: as a baby in a manger. But he did! How does this unexpected arrival change us? How does this not only reshape our expectations for our lives, but give us real hope this Christmas? Through the miracle of the incarnation, we will discover the unexpected grace of God in our very midst.

It’s always a good day to remember, reflect, and respond to the resurrection of King Jesus! It’s like Easter… just not on Easter! In the second to last chapter of the book of Corinthians, Paul will encourage the church to remember the resurrection and to remind them what he received and what he passed onto them. Only two more weeks in True North as we continue to reorient our lives around the work and person of Jesus!
