Jake unpacks the book of James - who wrote it, how and why they may have written it and what it can mean for us today - and is joined by special guest Luke Gomes! Luke is a senior at King's Way High School who loves Jesus, soccer and serving others and helps us think through what it means to "wait" on God through trials and questions in our lives.

Guest speaker Lauren Wilson, founder of Speak Out PDX, is committed to breaking the stigma of mental health in the local church. Lauren shares her story, and unpacks how God can meet us in the midst of whatever season we find ourselves in with our mental health - and how we can walk alongside others in their journey as well - living as the type of community Jesus embodied and displayed for us.
