  • Whisper | God With Us

    It's very easy to feel as though God is a distant entity just looking down at us from above, but God desires to be in a relationship and live life with us. The power of that relationship stems from our openness to listen for the whisper of God's voice.

    This week Matt Nyberg teaches on the importance of being in a relationship with God and how that often takes setting aside intentional time to hear His voice.

  • Whisper | A Still Small Voice

    How do you respond to that still, small voice inside? We expect God to speak in a thundering voice and give us direction, but more often than not it's in little moments that we need to stop, rest, and respond to how God is leading us.

    This week Tiffany Staman explores the story of Elijah and how he responds to the still, small voice of God.

  • Whisper | Big & Small Moments with God

    So often we long for God to stop us in our tracks and shine an unmistakable light on the direction we should go with our lives. Sometimes, however, the small moments are actually a little more prevalent than we first might think.

    This week Matt Nyberg teaches about learning to hear the Holy Spirit's voice in both big and small moments.

  • From the Heart | Living Stones

    God acts in amazing ways. Sometimes it's something HUGE and sometimes it's something small. Even so, it's so easy to get sucked into everyday life that we often forget those moments when God really shows up.

    Matt Nyberg discusses the importance of telling those stories and being verbal about God's movement in our lives.

  • Forever Love | Staying Committed

     â€œTo be married is to give oneself to another

    person in the most intimate and inclusive of human relationships, to support
    him or her for good in every way possible – physically, emotionally, and
    spiritually, of course, but in every conceivable dimension of his or her being
    with the goal of being a constant blessing to one another and the world.”
    (Dallas Willard)

    We will always have opportunities to take exit ramps.

    Colossians 2:8
    See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit,
    according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world,
    and not according to Christ.

    Small exits eventually lead to big exits.

    Proverbs 27:12
    The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the
    penalty.

    Our goal is to invest and enjoy the journey so much we don’t
    consider taking the exits.

    Hebrews 12:1-2
    Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of
    witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin
    which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is
    set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who
    for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat
    down at the right hand of the throne of God.

  • Forever Love | Navigating Conflict

    “To be married is to give oneself to another person in the most intimate and inclusive of human relationships, to support him or her for good in every way possible – physically, emotionally, and spiritually, of course, but in every conceivable dimension of his or her being with the goal of being a constant blessing to one another and the world.”


    - Dallas Willard

    1.  Conflict is a normal part of life that happens when you are at odds with another person over what you think, want, or do.
    2. Our natural human responses to conflict are “assault” or “withdrawal.”
    3. God’s response and invitation for us to respond is always reconciliation.

    Colossians 3:12-15
    “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against each other. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body, you were called to peace.”

       •   Express your commitment even when the conflict is not yet resolved.
       â€¢   Get some space and invite God into the situation.
       â€¢   Carve out intentional time to talk through the issue.
       â€¢   If you get stuck, get help.
