We want to try to make learning about Jesus simple, straightforward, and approachable by breaking big truths into small, meaningful episodes. Each episode helps you see who Jesus is, why His life matters, and how His teachings apply to everyday life. By taking in theology in bite-sized portions, you'll grow closer to Christ and deepen your faith one step at a time.

Everyone's searching for something—hope that endures, peace that lasts, joy that overflows, love that changes everything. The Magi followed a distant light across unfamiliar terrain, unsure of where it would lead but certain it was worth the journey. This Advent, we join them. As we search for the same things, we discover that every longing finds its answer in Jesus. The search doesn't just lead us to Him—it changes the way we live when we leave His presence.

Join Bay City Director Tamara Schlatter and Senior Pastor Josh Pardee as they explore the message from the final week of our series titled Crooked Sticks.

The story of Jacob's sons is messy, painful, redemptive, and beautiful. It's the story of betrayal and forgiveness, grief and healing, famine and provision. But more than that, it's the story of how God takes a broken family and forms a people through whom He will bless the whole world. From the very beginning, God's heart has been to include the outsider and heal what's been fractured. This series invites us into that story—not just to watch it unfold, but to find ourselves in it. Because God is still using crooked sticks to draw straight lines—and to build His family today.
