The Struggle to Commence

Mike Gathright

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we celebrated our graduates! We laughed. Some moms might have cried a little. We probably embarrassed a few people with baby pictures.

And we wrestled with one of the most important truths about life... there is no avoiding the struggle. And what does a life of faith in God's grace have for us in that reality.

Fear, Pt. 1: The Architecture

Mike Gathright

Fear is everywhere right now — fear about the future, our families, our finances, and the state of the world.

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we began a new series called "Fear-Less", by exploring how faith in the Grace of God can help us to move forward in the face of fear.

Mothering

Mike Gathright

This past Sunday was Mother's Day. Why is it held in such sacred regard? Could it be that a mother's love has something to show us about the love of God? That was the question we wondered about together, at Storyline's Gathering, this past Sunday.

Vocation

Jill McNabnay

What if work was never meant to be something we simply survive, but something that helps us discover meaning, purpose, a calling? This past Sunday, at Storyline’s Gathering, we explored how God intended for work to be part of a good, growing life, and what it looks like to rediscover vocation in the middle of ordinary everyday work.

The Voice

Mike Gathright

What if God has given you something the world desperately needs?

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we explored how our passions, wounds, gifts, and talents come together in God’s good story.

Seen, Not Fixed

Dillion Koch

Leading up to Easter – and in the weeks since – we’ve been asking questions about perfection. And we've discovered that maybe God isn’t offering us an escape into a perfect paradise as much as an invitation into a good story—one that’s still unfolding, still growing, and not dependent on us getting everything right.

This past Sunday, at Storyline’s Gathering, we explored what that looks like in real life—through a story of grief, growth, and the unexpected ways we’re changed when we’re truly seen.

The Hope of Humility

Mike Gathright

So, if Easter is the invitation into God's good story, not a perfect paradise, but a growing garden where we are in the process of becoming... what does it look like to get in on that? This was the question we wondered about together this past Sunday morning at Storyline's Gathering.

The Problem with Perfect

Mike Gathright

This past Sunday was Easter. Everyone knows what it is, but why does it matter? That was the question we wondered about together this past Sunday at the Gathering.

How Perfect Do We Need to Be?

Mike Bredeweg

Lately, we have been looking at the questions people have about life and about God. We often wonder what God thinks about us. Why does it feel like we have to be perfect to keep everyone, including God, happy? How good is good enough? We looked at the rules of God’s game and how we might be playing it wrong.

Saints Among Us

The Gathering

This past Sunday, at Storyline’s Gathering, we celebrated “Saints Among Us.” Storyliners honored the saints among us who have made a tremendous difference in their lives.
