Have you ever found yourself wondering if God’s trying to tell you something? I know I have. We long for His direction in our life, but it can be hard to know when He’s speaking. While God can use circumstances to get our attention, it’s only the first step in starting a conversation with us.

He desires to have an active dialogue with us that is defined by quality communication. But what does that look like? Does He really talk with us like He did in the Bible?

Join us as we discuss these questions:

• What is the role of a sign?

• Does God speak today like He did in Biblical times?

• How did God speak in Biblical times?

• Does God desire to talk with us? How do we know?

This is the first discussion of our guide for couples trying to conceive where we give an overview of what’s in the guide and talk through some of the hard questions we all ask along the way. Join us in this video as we talk about:

• Why is it so hard to conceive?

• Where is God in the process?

• What does it look like to follow God’s leading as we are trying to conceive?

• What can we do to support conception?

* How to Be Happy

* Satisfied in Success

* Satisfying Our Desire for Pleasure

* Can Soulmates Satisfy

* How to Find Satisfaction

A lot of things can make us happy for a little while, but, once the newness fades, the happiness seems to fade right along with it. We all struggle to feel satisfied at times, but how do we approach that struggle? Join us as we take a very practical, “how-to” look at our series on satisfaction and ask the question, How do we find satisfaction?

In this discussion we’ll cover these steps in the process of finding satisfaction:

In this discussion we’ll cover these steps in the process of finding satisfaction:

* Desiring contentment* Contentment enables us to receive the benefits of godliness* Covetousness is the enemy of satisfaction* The trap of covetousness* Identifying covetousness* A practical understanding of coveting* Personal examples* Developing contentment* Recognizing God is the source of our satisfaction* Having a discussion with God about why we aren’t satisfied

Whether it’s more work or more play, we’ve seen in this series that neither promise to satisfy. However, we often experience our most meaningful success and our most lasting joy in the context of our closest relationships. Whether it’s friendships, dating, marriage, or family, perhaps relationships can offer what success and pleasure can’t on their own – satisfaction.

Join us as we discuss:

1. Can My Soulmate Satisfy?

2. Being Satisfied in Marriage

3. I'll Be Happy When ____

Why did God make pleasure? Can our desire for pleasure ever be fully satisfied? What does enjoying pleasure look like as Christians, in what ways are we limited?

What can we do to be successful? How do we know when we’ve achieved success, or, more specifically, at what point does success bring satisfaction? So often, success can leave us feeling empty or even sorrowful as we wonder "What's the point?" How can we find a meaningful success that satisfies our desire to leave an impact? Join us as we talk about all of this:

1. The Ingredients of Success

2. Success and Sorrow

3. Meaningful Success

Are you happy? A lot of things can make us happy for a little while, but, once the newness fades, the happiness seems to fade right along with it. How can we find it again? What does it mean to be happy? From Harvard studies to the Pharrell Williams song, from America’s Declaration of Independence to Bhutan’s measure of Gross National Happiness, it’s easy to say that “the pursuit of happiness” is central to us as people regardless of the culture, or sub-culture, in which we find ourselves. But, for all our searching, it remains just that: a pursuit, a search. Now, we ...

What should we forgive? EVERYTHING. How do we forgive even the hardest things? Join us as we talk about how we forgive and what that process looks like, including: How do we know when we need to forgive? Once we’ve forgiven, it feels like we can check it off the list and put it behind us, but forgiveness can often look more like a cycle rather than a checkbox. So, how can we identify when we’re struggling with unforgiveness and ultimately find inspiration to forgive again?

Last week we talked about the parable of the unforgiving servant. This parable shows how the forgiveness we give to others flows from the forgiveness we first received from Christ. There is another story in the book of Philemon (of all places) that brought this parable to life for me. It honestly transformed my perspective on forgiveness...

I love the disciples. So often they do exactly what I would picture myself doing or ask the very question that’s on my mind. Take Matthew 18 for example; starting in verse 15, Jesus explains how to handle conflict … Once Jesus finished, I just imagine watching the disciples nod their heads as they are walking. A little further down the road ...
