Jesus said to love our neighbors as ourselves, what if we took it as literally as possible and we started to love our PHYSICAL neighbors as ourselves. Join us as we begin our series on learning to neighbor well.

God commands us to LOVE Him, but do we truly understand what that means? It's easy to just associate love with a feeling, like when you first start dating. Puppy love is fine and good, but it's far from understanding what love is. What does it look like to love with ALL of your heart, soul, strength, and mind?  This week Evan Savage talks about what it means to love with ALL of your mind.

Tithe.  It's the dreaded "five letter word" that makes people's skin crawl. It seems that many churches are ALWAYS asking for money and time. Passing baskets, online giving, fundraising, volunteering... it's very easy to see why this topic has become taboo to so many people over the years. In this series Evan explains on why the habit of tithing is so important in the Christian faith.

How do we, as Christians live in an ever-growing secular world? Do we get on our own personal soapboxes and shout a fire and brimstone sermon into the air? Do we just accept everyone and everything for what and who they are and hope it all turns out"okay"? Matt Nyberg talks about finding and living in the "gray" areas and how maybe that's a better place to be sometimes.

We all have that one relative... you know... the one who can't help bring up politics, troll you about politics on social media, the one that slams every person on the opposing side of THEIR politics. Or maybe that's you? In any case, where does this all fit into the Christian faith? 

We've been going through our series "ASK (Because Questions Matter)" trying to dig into questions submitted by our congregation. This week Evan addresses the question "Why did I grow up learning that I couldn't wear flip flops in church?". Do I you need to kneel while praying? Do you NEED to dress up? What's the point? Many of us grew up in the legalistic version of church. Is that all REALLY necessary?
