On January 23, 2021 we had our first Sunday gatherings. We had our good friend Erwin Raphael McManus come be with us to share his heart for STUDIO. It was a special day for STUDIO as we began our journey as a community of people who are passionate about seeing the intersection of Faith, Creativity and Community take place. Listen to Pastor Erwin as he shares his heart for the STUDIO community. For more info check out our website and give us a follow on our instagram.

The human story has been shaped by human reasoning, the reasoning of God and the reasoning of something mythical. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it reads "God has placed eternity in our hearts...". The human soul longs for meaning and definition and we spend our lives in search for the answers to our existence. In today's culture we are inclined to define self from within ourselves. Jesus entered into the human story to show us how and what it means to be human in the way he imagined. His life reveals how to be fully alive. Some say you're fully alive when you're in control, but the scriptures teach us we are are fully alive when we are fully surrendered. It's in this surrender where Jesus brings definition and meaning to our existence. For more info visit us at our website or check out our instagram.

God fills spaces he creates and he also fills spaces we create. Pastor Eric wraps up the FUTURE READY series with a talk about our Ethos, Elements and Architecture. Understanding we as humans are moved by color, design, texture, aesthetics and architecture. The elements of Brick, Glass, Steel, Concrete and Wood help to define our ethos which will inform our architecture. The future spaces and places we create will be incubators for dreamers, innovators, creators and the ones with the bright imaginations. It is where we will see Faith, Creativity and Community intersect. Visit us at www.studiogreenville.com or check out our instagram - @studio.greenville

Every human longs to be fully alive. Pastor Eric shares his raw and personal story of his emotional health journey. In today's culture we are told "you are your emotions" and "you are defined by your emotions". Pastor Eric teaches we are designed to feel deeply, it is what makes us human. We also are not defined by our emotions but rather each emotion is an invitation to be discipled by Jesus. Being fully alive is being able to respect, feel and process all the emotions in life. If we embrace this beautiful part of our humanity, it will enable us to be a vital part of the healing of humanity in a broken world.

One of our greatest opportunities in this cultural moment is to create a new culture and a new response. Listen to the latest talk as Candace, Tinasha and Eric have a dialogue around the heart of STUDIO to cultivate and create a multi-dimensional community (multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-dimensional). We learn from Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus that the Fellowship of the Mystery is Jesus reconciling all nations to him to create one body.

It is essential we are choosing to grow in wisdom, love and truth. As John Maxwell says "Change is inevitable, growth is optional". Pastor Candace teaches when a body is in a healthy state, it then is able to heal itself. She encourages us to continue to not go around but rather walk through anything that would hinder us from going higher and becoming healthy human beings. We are the body of Christ and the future needs us to be a healthy body who brings healing to humanity.

All of creation longs for the future and God invites you to build it with him. This week Pastor Tinasha unpacks how your identity as sons and daughters is vital to this taking place and that you don't need to perform your way into identity. She also shares that no matter what kind of culture, world or situation you are in, you can walk in this identity to create the future in spite of what's happening around you.

The Future is created by those who choose courage or fear. We must realize this is a deliberate choice. Pastor Eric continues to unpack the idea that we are born for a future we don't know exists. This week we dive into the story of Elijah and the moment where his future was on the other side of confronting his deepest fears. Let's be a people who create a future with courage in a time where fear is seemingly everywhere. Visit our website for more information about STUDIO

The Future you were born for is one you don't know exists. We all love the idea of the future and "the new", but why is it easier to repeat the past instead of creating a future? In this message, Pastor Eric tackles the concept of time and identifying the reasons why we struggle as humans to move into the future that we were born for. This is week one of a series titled "FUTURE READY".
