Ryan Kenny (James 1:1-4)

Our instinct in a hard season is to look for the exit. But God often does his deepest work on the very road we're trying to skip, shaping in us the kind of people we couldn't become any other way.

Ryan Kenny (Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:8-11)

Everything lands here. If work is bigger than we've been told, if restoration is possible even in broken places, if who you are comes before what you do, what does that actually look like on a Monday morning? This week, we get specific about what a genuinely different relationship with work looks like in practice, and what it means to finally work like all of this is true.

Ryan Kenny (Colossians 3:5-14)

Most of us are more dependent on our work for our sense of identity than we realize. When it's going well, we feel great. When it isn't, we don't. This week, we look at what happens when you stop letting work tell you who you are, and why getting that order right might be the single most liberating shift available to anyone who works.

Ryan Kenny (Genesis 3, Colossians 1:18-23)

Work is hard. That's not your imagination, and it's probably not just your job. This week, we get honest about why work so often feels toilsome, frustrating, and broken, and why the answer isn't a better employer or a different career. More importantly, we explore what it looks like to work faithfully and generously in the middle of a world that isn't working the way it was supposed to.

Ryan Kenny (Colossians 1:15-17)

The stories our culture tells about work (find your passion, climb the ladder, collect your paycheck) aren't completely wrong. But they're not big enough either. This week, we look at where those stories fall short and introduce a bigger, richer account of what work was actually designed to be and why something in us already suspects there's more.

Sunday Gathering April 5, 2026
(John 20:11-18)

Something in us knows the world isn't the way it's supposed to be. Easter isn't just a celebration — it's an answer to that ache. Come explore what the resurrection has to say about our deepest grief and our greatest hope.

Ryan Kenny (Job 42:1-6)

Life has a way of breaking our assumptions. Good people suffer. Hard work doesn’t always pay off. Prayers go unanswered. And when things fall apart, the easy explanations don’t just feel thin—they can feel insulting. The book of Job begins where many of us find ourselves: asking honest questions in the middle of real pain. Not “How do I fix this?” but “Is the world actually fair?” and “If God exists, can God be trusted when life makes no sense?”

This ancient story doesn’t rush to defend God or explain suffering away. Instead, it invites us into a raw conversation about grief, anger, silence, and the limits of human understanding. Job challenges the idea that life is a simple equation—and dares us to consider a different kind of trust, one not rooted in outcomes but in humility, honesty, and wonder. Whether you believe in God, doubt God, or aren’t sure what you believe at all, this series creates space to wrestle with life’s hardest questions without pretending they’re easy.
