Ever wonder if your faith is real or just wishful thinking? John the apostle—the last man standing who physically walked with Jesus—has something to say about that. In week one of Touch Grass, Pastor Levi takes us to 1 John 1:1-10 and helps us see why "if it's new, it's not true; if it's true, it's not new" when it comes to theology. We'll dig into five life-changing truths from this opening passage. John doesn't just want you to believe—he wants you to know you have eternal life. Time to get grounded in truth that can't be shaken!NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

In one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told, the prodigal son in Luke 15, we often miss that both sons were lost—one ran away, the other stayed close but let pride keep him distant. In this powerful message from Annie F. Downs, we’re reminded that no matter how far you’ve gone, you’re never too far to come home. Whether you’ve made a series of small compromises that led to a place you never meant to be, or you’re sitting in judgment with crossed arms and a closed heart, the Father is on the porch—looking, waiting, running toward you. There’s no better place to be than close to the Father.

It’s not about what you do—it’s about why you do it. In this message, Pastor Louie Giglio unpacks the truth that your life doesn’t have to be divided between passion and purpose or calling and career. Whatever you do, do it with all your heart for His glory.

Feeling overlooked, unqualified, or unsure of what God's calling you to? Looking at the story of Saul and Ananias (a man mentioned in only a few verses who changed the course of history by his obedience) in Acts 9, Tim Ross shows us three life-altering truths: God sees what people skip, obedience doesn't require agreement, and you're not the star (and that's actually a relief!). Learn why embracing "side character energy" frees you to be powerfully used by God without the pressure of being the main character.

If you have ever struggled to know what God's will is, or wondered how to make a decision when following Him feels confusing, or if God has put it on your heart to do something but you can't figure out why He is calling you to it... You are going to love what you find in God's word today!
Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of the Triumphal Entry, revealing how to have faith when life is murky and God's plans don't make sense.
From The Chosen Season 5, Episode 1 "Entry" - witness Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey while 2.7 million people filled the city for Passover. The disciples participated in this royal parade without having a clue what was happening, yet they obeyed anyway.

Scripture Focus: John 12:12-16 & Matthew 21:1-3

Discover why Jesus sent two disciples to "borrow" a donkey with only the explanation "The Lord has need of them." Like the disciples, your job is not to understand God but to obey Him. Trust your Master, not your master plan.

5 Things to Remember When Life Is Murky:

1. Muscle Confusion
2. Unorthodox Methods
3. Readiness
4. Kingdom
5. You'll Know More Later

Big Idea: Choose compliance over clarity. Don't demand understanding—offer obedience. For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Do you struggle with the need for control, anxiousness, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or performance mentality? If so, there's so much good news for you!

In this message, The Rhythms of a Healthy Soul, Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of Martha and Mary, revealing the essential rhythms of a healthy soul and why sitting at Jesus' feet isn't selfish - it's necessary.

From The Chosen Season 4, Episode 5 "Sitting, Serving, Scheming" - witness the tension between Martha's elaborate dinner preparations and Mary's choice to sit at Jesus' feet as His disciple. This isn't about correcting hospitality, but about choosing the best thing over good things.

Scripture Focus: Luke 10:38-42

Discover why Jesus defended Mary's choice and gently corrected Martha's distraction. Set just six months before the cross, this scene in Bethany reveals what we all need: to learn the unforced rhythms of grace and find rest for our souls.

4 Lessons for a Healthy Soul:

1. Good things can keep you from the best things.
2. When you focus on others, you leave yourself unattended.
3. Work without worship is wearying.
4. When you lose your why, you lose your way.

Jesus' invitation: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace."

Think of an answer to prayer you never received, a time when you trusted God to do something and He didn't. A situation where you were disappointed by God. What are we to make of these instances where we had faith the size of a mustard seed to see a mountain move but it didn't budge?
In This Message, The Miracle You Never Saw Coming, Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of "Little James" being called to heal others while living with his own disability, revealing how God's power can flow through us even when we still limp.

From The Chosen Season 3, Episode 2 "Two by Two" - witness the tension of being commissioned to participate in healing you yourself have never experienced. This conversation between Jesus and Little James isn't directly in the Bible, but it's thoroughly biblical from Genesis to Revelation: power out of pain and strength out of weakness.

Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 & Luke 6:15

Discover what it means to have the power of God on your life but still limp through with the pains, heartaches, and difficulties of life. Like Paul's thorn in the flesh, sometimes God chooses to work through us but not for us. Could God be glorified by a trial He chooses to allow to remain?

3 Things You Must Know to Survive Saturday (the space between Good Friday and Easter):

1. Pain Is a Problem
2. Pain Has a Problem
3. Pain Is Not Your Problem

The miracle you never saw coming? The one that happens inside you. Sometimes the mountain that needs moving is inside you, and sustaining grace is every bit as miraculous as the signs and wonders we crave.

Have you ever felt stuck? Like you're never going to get through what you're facing or back to happiness, back on track? If so, take heart and get ready to rise up.

In this message, Getting Off The Ground, Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of Jesus healing the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda, revealing how Christ calls us to leave our wilderness and enter into all He has for us.

From The Chosen Season 2, Episode 4 "The Perfect Opportunity" - witness Jesus's intentional healing of a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years (the same number of years Israel wandered in the wilderness). This wasn't just physical healing - it was Jesus calling someone to completely abandon their old life.

Scripture Focus: John 5:1-15
Watch as Jesus asks the hard question: "Do you want to be made well?" Then commands the impossible: "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." Discover why sometimes the thing we think will cure us is actually the thing keeping us down.
5 Steps to Getting Off the Ground:

1. Identify False Assumptions
2. Ask Hard Questions
3. Do Scary Things
4. Listen to the Right Voices
5. Make Different Choices
