When people asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, we bet you never said, "A prisoner!" In week 3 of our "Filters" series, Paul talks about the one filter that keeps us in prison and how to get rid of it. Learn how to remove the filter of OFFENSE and replace it with the filter of FORGIVENESS before your offenses turn fences into prison walls.

Andrew and Dar Draper of The GLOW Mission joined us to share the shocking statistics behind the orphan crisis in the Ukraine and the strategy and vision God gave them when they simply said YES to being part of the solution.

Pride is a hard filter to see in ourselves, but it's critical that we do, because as long as it's in place, we run the risk of being prosecuted by God Himself. Learn the power of humility and make the choice to replace the filter of pride with the filter of humility.

Have you ever wondered why so many people can have such different reactions to the exact same experience? One word: filters. Learn how to open your eyes to the things that affect what you see, and you'll never see things the same again.

Whether or not we feel like it, we are OVERCOMERS!!! Learn why being on the WINNING TEAM is more powerful than just winning by yourself.

For too long, believers have been shamed into thinking that if they felt afraid, they didn't have faith. But in week 7 of "This Is Us," Paul shows us how the Bible deals more with living in fear than it does with feeling fear and reminds us that we are brave. As it turns out, bravery recognizes fear but doesn't authorize fear.

Ever felt powerless to change? To really change? We all have, and yet that's what makes the gospel so powerful! God loves us enough to allow us to come as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us where we are. When we step into the river of grace, we are changed because we serve a God Who transforms!

Sometimes we think we're too bad for God, but the truth is that we're all messy. In fact, the Bible and the church are full of messy people, but God turns messes into messages.

Everyone wants to live for something bigger than themselves - form entrepreneurs to parents to pastors - and the Bible shows us exactly how to make sure that our lives count for longer than the amount of time we have to live.

For the child of God, giving is second nature. We take that statement seriously at The Gathering, and we love the fact that generosity is such a big part of our DNA and culture!
