This point of the semester, it is a hard to wait on the Lord for anything. We want and need for revival in our community. Especially during the current year with climate of everything, our friend Jonathan Rivera, helps us get excited about waiting for revival.

If it has been said once, it has been said many times. We are living in stressful times as Christians and members of this community here at NU. Dr. Rassmussen brings us through Matthew 24 to explore the idea of resting while God is at work. We are called to relax and rest in Christ, but how can we do that well? Let's find out together...

If we do not practice a certain skill, we get complacent and lose that ability. We need to be able to stay on track with our relationship with God. Join us as we dive back into 1st Peter and strive to be more like Christ.

Doing ministry for and about Jesus is the easy part. Anyone can follow and do things for a cause. When we do ministry WITH Jesus, we follow what he calls us to be. Friend of Northwest University and Northwest Ministry Network superintendent, Don Ross, gives us the word from Acts 19 on how we can do ministry WITH Jesus.

Christians are called to be part of a higher citizenship, something set-apart and holy. President Castleberry dives into Philippians 3 to discuss how we are citizens. Not only of the countries we reside in, but in the greater spiritual community that we are in.

We are called to act like Jesus, but sometimes we do not understand that we will then be treated like Christ. Hannah Castano takes us into the latter part of 1st Peter 3 to explore the idea of "Revering Christ"...

Hannah Castano is a third year ministry major from Phoenix, Arizona. She has a focus in studying Pastoral Ministry in Youth and Family. Her dream is to become a youth pastor and then eventually even work with the young adult community.

With the amount of injustice in our world right now, how can we really follow Jesus? Is there hope for our communities right now? Our friend, Shaddye Melu, joins us today to unpack the idea and finish our series on Jesus & Justice. He speaks from 2 Corinthians 2 and John 4. Join us in listening how we can follow the lead of Jesus this week.....
