"We can dream a better dream than what America can give us." We often think of the American Dream as purely a good thing, but it has a darker side that invites us to idolize wealth to the exclusion of following Jesus with our whole hearts. (Tony Gatewood)

We often think of the American Dream as purely a good thing, but it has a darker side that invites us to turn aside from the needs of the most vulnerable while we focus on our own fulfillment, hard work, and potential. Unlike the rich man in Jesus' parable, Jesus calls his followers to pay attention to the "Lazarus" outside our gates. Join us in this timely series as we unpack the ways in which our national gods can, if we're not careful, lead us far from the Way of Jesus.

Money. Power. Personal Fulfillment. The Israelites trusted so much in the idols of Canaan that they sacrificed their own children in order to curry favor with Molech. Join us in this sobering series as we explore the national gods of America and the ways in which our trust can be so misplaced that, like the Israelites, we end up compromising the lives and dignity of other human beings.

In the absence of love, fear flourishes. So many of us want to contribute to the solution to our public health crisis, our economic problems, the upcoming election, racial injustice--but, without love, all of our discourse inside and outside the church can sound as obnoxious as a thousand three-year-olds banging on drums. Join us as we embark on a journey to explore how fixing our "love problems" can actually elevate our dialogue with one another and lead to unity.
