What happens when we worship? 

Worshipping God is an essential part of our faith. But do we know what we are doing when we worship? Do we ever pause to ask why it matters? Join Jim Ehrman and Kevin Eshleman as they talk about the purpose of worship and what makes some worship songs better than others.

Pastor Jim Ehrman explains God's holiness in an unusual way.

How do I grow in creativity even if I'm not artistic? As humans made in the image of our creator God, creativity is a core part of who we are. This doesn't mean we're all supposed to paint or write poetry, but it does mean we're all wired to think creatively, to come up with new ideas and solutions. Yet it's so easy to go through our days without engaging or developing our innate creativity. Join Emily Given and Oliver Denlinger as they talk about the human mandate to create and practical ways we can engage with and cultivate the gift of creativity that God's put inside each one of us.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman teaches on God's glory displayed in all of creation and especially in us, who are made in his image to be creative.

When we sin, it's easy to get caught in shame. We start to think and feel badly about ourselves. We might even feel like we are a lost cause, like we'll never overcome our struggle, like we'll never live the way God wants us to. But shame is a liar. The enemy wants to catch us in our vulnerability, turning our repentance into condemnation, but God wants to pour his mercy on us so we can be free. Join Matt Swords and Jim Ehrman as they discuss practical tools for stepping out from under shame so we can receive God's mercy and the power to change.

Pastor Chris Weber teaches us what true repentance looks like and how it transforms our lives.

What happens when we remember and recount the stories of God's faithfulness in our lives?

It's so easy to forget the work of God in our lives--the ways he's spoken, healed, delivered, and so forth. Yet remembering God's past faithfulness imparts strength and faith into our present season. So how do we build strategies for remembering, and how can we use our testimony to impact others? Join Dan Gulnac and David Burr as they talk about practical tools for recording your history with God and ways they've seen testimonies impact their own lives and the lives of others.

Pastor Matt Swords speaks on the importance of remembering and recording our history with God, which will strengthen our current walk with God.

How do we cultivate a heart of praise in the middle of the battle?In life's hard seasons, praise is essential. Yet praising God in those seasons can feel very hard; often, it is the last thing we want to do. How do we overcome that and instead cultivate a heart of genuine praise? Join Dan Gulnac and Mark Calkins as they talk about the power of praise, not only to transform our hearts but also to empower our spiritual warfare.

Pastor Heidi Zimmerman reminds us of the power of praising God in the middle of challenging circumstances, before we know how it will end.
