Teachers:Dugan Sherbondy and Tyler Johnson “What would you do if you won the lottery? Buy a boar, take a huge vacation, start your own tv show? More importantly, how would you feel if you won the lottery? Probably really, really, really happy, right? Well what about having a major accident? How would you feel if you suddenly became a paraplegic? Probably not very happy at all, right? In the conclusion of the “Chuck Norris” series, Dugan and Tyler teach on what happiness really is and the difference between inner happiness and outer happiness.”

Description: Have you ever been hurt? Ever been wronged? Ever experienced pain because of what somebody said to you, said about you, or a situation you were in? Ever been burned by the actions of others? Yeah, we all have. And when that happens, we experience pain and hurt that can often times begin to build a wall in us. A wall of bitterness. And the bigger this wall gets, the more we shut ourselves off from the people around us and from God. So how do we deal with it? Gregg Giamalva guest teaches at Genesis and talks about the power of forgiveness and how much we all need to make the choice to forgive no matter what.

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy, Description: What happens when we die? Do we just disappear? Do our bodies float around like ghosts? Do we go to a place called heaven? Do we go to a place called hell? Well as we approach Easter weekend, Dugan teaches about the truth about what happens when we die, what exactly heaven and hell is, and the importance of Jesus saving us from becoming the wrong kind of person. Because the truth is, heaven and hell are much more a part of our every day life and decisions than we may think…

“In the first teaching of our series: ‘Chuck Norris,’ Dugan talks about all the big things around us. Mountains, oceans, skyscrapers, space, and of course Chuck Norris. But there’s also something bigger. God. All the big things around us were made by someone, and that’s a huge, powerful, personal, and loving God. It’s almost impossible to travel through the huge-ness and beauty of space and not see how awesome God is Check out the podcast and also check out www.hubblesite.org to see some of the pictures Dugan is talking about. Our God is big and made everything around us to show us how much He loves us!”
