We're not allowed to see the future, and honestly, that's probably a mercy. But at the very end of the Bible, in a strange, image-heavy vision on the island of Patmos, John gets a glimpse of ultimate reality — and it looks nothing like what most of us are anxious about day to day.

In this message, Brian Ross walks through Revelation 22 and asks a simple but unsettling question: if what's ultimately real is so different from how we're living, what needs to change?

Everybody looks at the same world. Not everybody sees the same thing. Walt Disney once stared at a pile of leftover dirt at Disneyland and saw a mountain — years before anyone else could see it too.

In the final week of Challenge Accepted, Forrest Jenan asks whether we can learn to see the world the way Jesus sees it — enemies as people to love, failure as a place for restoration, a cross as the doorway to resurrection.

A 100-mph fastball reaches home plate in four-tenths of a second — too fast to think through. Hitters don't rise to that moment. They fall back on thousands of hours of repetition.

In Part 4 of Challenge Accepted, Forrest Jenan explores what it looks like to train before life comes at us fast — and why the habits Jesus practiced were never about proving how spiritual we are, but about becoming like him.

We've built a world designed to make sure we never have to sit with discomfort for very long. Phones, Netflix, distraction on demand. But almost everything that actually grows us asks us to walk into something uncomfortable first.

In Part 3 of Challenge Accepted, Forrest Jenan tells the story of Esther — a young woman asked to risk everything without knowing the outcome — and asks what your next Brave Move might be.

We've gotten really good at having people around us without letting anyone get close. We know how to answer "how are you?" without ever really answering it.

In Part 2 of Challenge Accepted, Forrest Jenan explores what Jesus meant by real relationships and why the way of Jesus was never meant to be walked alone.

You already have a way... a way you handle conflict, chase success, treat people who disagree with you. You probably never chose it on purpose. It got handed to you, or you picked it up along the way.

In Part 1 of Challenge Accepted, we look at what it actually means when Jesus says "follow me" — not an invitation to a few good teachings, but an invitation to trade your road for his.

Managing life on your own natural ability ... how's that actually working out? For most of us, not great. Not because we're failing, but because we were never meant to run on willpower alone.

In the final week of I AM, Brian Ross unpacks Jesus's claim in John 15:1 — "I am the true vine" — and what it looks like to access a kind of power that goes beyond anything we can manufacture ourselves.

Success. The right relationship. The perfect body. The paid-off house. We're all chasing some version of the golden ticket... convinced that if we just find it, life will finally start.

In Part 6 of I AM, Jordan Brokaw unpacks one of Jesus's boldest claims from the Last Supper — John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life" — and what it means that the thing we've been chasing was never a destination, but a person.

We live by an unspoken rule: forget you're going to die. Stay busy, stay young, stay distracted... anything to avoid the questions death forces us to ask.

In Part 5 of I AM, Jordan Brokaw sits with the story of Jesus's friend Lazarus — the waiting, the grief, the disappointment — and Jesus's claim in John 11:25 that changes everything: "I am the resurrection and the life."

We all want the version of Jesus that only gives ... a caring shepherd, a safety net, someone in our corner when things go wrong. What we don't sign up for is the other half of what a shepherd actually does: stand between us and the wolf, even when it costs him everything.

That's the tension underneath Jesus' claim in John 10... "I am the Good Shepherd." In Part 4 of I AM, Stephanie Benthin asks the question most of us would rather skip: are you following Jesus because of what he gives you, or because of who he's asking you to become?
