Generosity is not an act, it is a way of living that seeks to bring God's goodness into the world.

We take a break from Proverbs to celebrate a year of being in our new worship space by remembering our values as a community and why we are baptizing six people in the church today.

There is chaos, evil, and tragic events unfolding all over the world right now. Some of them we know about, many of them we don't. But, even the ones we know about are overwhelming. How do we as individuals process these large scale tragedies when the reality is that we are powerless to do anything about them? Join Scott and Mike this week as they think out loud about what we can do and how to know where the boundaries are.

Loneliness has become such universal experience that the surgeon general of the United States has actually issued a warning about it. Yet we are constantly around people, connected online, at work, and in our communities. So what's going one? Why do so many of us collectively feel so alone? Join Scott and Mike this week as they discuss why loneliness is a much bigger issue than we may realize and what we can do about it.

It's from the depths of our hearts that our words are formed.  And they can either kill or heal.  

We often mistake discipline for punishment.  But discipline and self-control have more to do with how we live for others than with denying ourselves necessities.

New studies have come out that reveal the damage that social media has wrought upon our collective psyche. Most of us don't need to look at a study to know that spending hours every day staring into our screens is not the best way to engage with the world. But, at the same time, it seems almost necessary to engage in some way. What are we to do!? Join Scott and Mike this week as they discuss the good, the bad, and the frustrating aspects of social media and how we live healthy lives with an online world.

Are you woke? Am I? Should we be? It's a word that carries a boatload of baggage along with it and most people don't know what it means but they sure no it makes some people angry. Join Scott and Mike this week as they unpack what it means to "be woke" and whether or not it's a good thing.

Humility is celebrated as a virtue but rarely pursued as a lifestyle.  Perhaps that's because we've forgotten that our model of humility didn't only die that way, he also lived that way.

Understanding what humility is and how it works in our lives yields greater benefits for all people.
