"When we're born, we have absolutely no knowledge. Everything we do is based on instinct. So, as we grow up, we have to learn everything. How to walk, how to throw a baseball, what foods are healthy to eat, and so much more. The problem is that sometimes we learn things incorrectly. And sometimes this isn't a big deal, but sometimes there are things we learn incorrectly that can lead to a lot of pain and destruction for ourselves and the people around us. When that happens, we need to unlearn and re-learn God's truth. In this first week of Unlearn, Tyler Johnson talks about commitment and how many of us have learned the wrong things about commitment. Instead, we need to learn how important it is and what God says about it."

Listen in to the Genesis team teach on subjects that can impact your everyday life.

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy, "In the final week of 'Impact', Dugan teaches about the fact that God has given each of us gifts through His Holy Spirit and He hasn't just given them to us for our own benefit, but to be a light to the people around us. Dugan walks through a passage in 1 Corinthians 12 and breaks down six observations about spiritual gifts that help us understand what they are and what we get to do with them."

Teacher: Jeff Bergstrom, In the second week of “Impact” guest teacher Jeff Bergstrom talks about fart humor, geometry, and the importance of our insides matching our outsides when it comes to how we love and treat other people. We are called to be a light and make an impact on the people around us. We are called to love them. So, when it comes to the hundreds of people you encounter each day, are your insides congruent, similar, or incongruent with your behavior?

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy, “Your Story” We all want to tell a good story. An Epic story. Each of us has a desire to look back on our life and feel like we told a great story. And the truth is: God has given each person a paper and a pen and said: “Write me an epic story with your life.” But sometimes there are things that get in the way of us telling a great story, that we need to surrender to God. And the only way we can tell an epic story, is when it’s a part of God’s story that He’s already telling all around the world. We have the choice to be a part of it or not; for our story to be Epic or a waste.

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy, “My Story” We all love stories. Stories of love, adventure, excitement, characters, humor, fun, relationships, action, and so much more. It’s why we read books, watch movies, watch TV shows, and play video games. We just love experiencing a good story. And what’s crazy, is that each of us is actually telling a story…with our lives. At the first night of the “Epic” retreat, Dugan talks about the problem many people face when they simply tell their story all about themselves and waste their lives telling a boring story.

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy — What has an impact? An earthquake, a tornado, a wrecking ball, a tidal wave. All these things have a significant impact on their surroundings. But there’s something that has an even bigger impact. Light. Light eliminates darkness and even a small light bulb and shed light in every corner or an enormous dark room. In the Bible, Jesus says that He is the light…but also says that we are the light. So, if Jesus is light, how are we supposed to be one? Check out the first teaching in a series called “Impact” where Dugan talks about how we are called to have an impact on the world around us…by "being a light.”

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy, “In the final week of “App World”, Dugan takes a look at what Jesus means when He tells us we’ll have a blessed life by having “a good eye.” Does he mean we can’t wear glasses or need to be careful what movies and picture we see? Should we wash our eyes with soap or use eye drops every day? Whatever it is, God says that if we have “a good eye”, then He “will throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it!!”

In the second week of “App World”, Josh Peigh joins Dugan to talk through How to Read the Bible. The Bible is the most tangible connection we have to God so it’s kind of a big deal to know how to read it! They outline exactly what the Bible is, some details about what it’s made up of, some tools to help read it, and four easy steps to keep in mind when reading it.

Teacher: Dugan Sherbondy, In the first segment of “App World” Dugan breaks down the Prayer App to discover what exactly prayer is, what it does, and how we should pray. He takes a look at 5 different categories from the Bible that each teach us a little bit more about the amazing thing that prayer is of talking to God.
