You would be hard pressed to find a topic that has been more abused or carries more pain then the topic of sexual health in our culture. Before we even begin to discuss specific issues we must confront painful past experiences, lies we believe about ourselves, or address previous messages of shame we have heard. But one thing we cannot do is remain silent on something this important.
Does the bible have anything helpful or redemptive to say about our sex lives other than, "Don't have sex till you're married?" What if you've already had sex? What if you have been abused? What if you're single and long for sexual expression, but feel alone? Does God have anything to say to you? Yes. Yes He does. This episode has been split in half. The first half addresses common lies or misconceptions around sex and intimacy. We must begin here to reclaim this discussion and start on the same page. The second half of this episode has been dedicated to analyzing Proverbs 5. This proverb specifically addresses some of God's principles for developing a healthy sex life and sexual identity. We pray this blesses you. We pray it helps you heal. We pray it protects your heart and your mind. And we pray chiefly that it draws you closer to God the creator of our bodies and the designer of real intimacy. 

When it comes to wealth, success, and authority the church can sometimes be confusing. We can idolize it and connect it to faith making it seem like CHristians should always be successful if they have enough faith. This is called the prosperity gospel. But other times we demonize it as if all wealthy people are immoral and the christian should commit to a life of poverty. This is often called the poverty gospel. Is there a middle ground? Can a Jesus follower pursue these things in a healthy way?
Come with us this week as Pastor Tyler discusses the healthy way to address success, money, and power in a world that often idolizes or demonizes these ideas.  

Welcome to our brand-new series, “Don’t Be Dum,” where Pastor Tyler dives into the rich insights of Proverbs. Ever feel like you're drowning in a sea of decisions, unsure which way to turn? You can learn how to build a solid system of decision-making, one that's not driven by our ever-changing feelings, but grounded in timeless wisdom. Through Proverbs, we'll explore how our beliefs shape our actions and why understanding God’s Word is key before we start making decisions.

In this debut episode, we're kicking things off with Proverbs 1, laying down the groundwork for studying Solomon’s inspired writings. Pastor Tyler talks about this chapter in two parts: the first is about the purpose of wisdom. Why did Solomon write what he did in Proverbs and why should we care? The second part of this episode is all about the warnings of wisdom. What will you go through if you decide to live a life of wisdom?

Grab your notes, pour a cup of coffee, and let's jump into Proverbs 1 together.

What do you need to wait well? All of us have to wait at some point in our lives. We wait to discover who our spouse will be, what job we will take, or what major to choose. We wait for our health to improve or for a prayer to be answered. Our seasons of waiting can look very different, but we can all agree, they are not very fun and can often be painful. The danger of waiting is that if we are not careful our hearts can get tired and we can become fearful. And when fear sets in we can make terrible choices. This week we take a short break from our Daniel series to discuss how to wait well. We will discuss two practical tools needed to grow courage and embrace waiting instead of fearing it.
