This week, we welcomed John Cox, Watermark's executive pastor, and Caitlin Van Wagoner, Watermark's senior communications director, on stage with Kylen Perry to share Biblical truths and practical wisdom they've learned over the course of their careers.

Following Jesus isn't a solo sport, and we're called to pass the baton of faith on to those around us. But how do we do this well? This week, Josiah Jones walks through Hebrews 12 to show us lessons he's learned from Scripture and a life of ministry on how to live out the mission we've been called to.

We often want to find our purpose in our work, but God has already filled our jobs with purpose. This week, Kylen Perry refers to Ephesians 6 to show us that we've been instructed in how to work well in a world that wants us to work with an agenda.

The ideas of revenge and bitterness aren’t exactly new, but the Bible and the world have very different opinions on how we should deal with the sting of betrayal. This week, Kylen Perry points to Genesis 37-50, where Joseph is betrayed by everyone around him - including his own brothers - yet God uses what some meant for evil for the good of a nation.

The Bible uses a lot of “family” language, but what does it mean that we’re a part of God’s family? This week, Oren Martin, Watermark’s Senior Director of Equipping, points to Mark 3:20-35 to show us how Jesus is making a new family of God on earth gathered around Himself — and he’s doing it with outsiders.

How we relate to Jesus says a lot about how we'll relate to our spouse. This week, Kylen Perry and his wife, Brooke, walk us through the misconceptions of marriage and what scripture says marriage is - and isn't - truly about.

We spend a lot of time seeing if other people measure up to our ideal dating checklist — but have we stopped to evaluate ourselves first? This week, Kylen Perry points to 1 Timothy 4:12 and other passages to remind us that a meaningful connection to God is the source of a meaningful connection to others.

Why do we have friends — and more importantly how do we become good ones? As we kick off "The Relationship Series," Kylen Perry points to 1 Samuel 18 to show us the theology of friendship and how we can deepen the relationships that God gave us for our enjoyment.

The more we look to Jesus, the more we become like Him — and that means living like we believe we have a mission here on earth, because we do. This week, Kylen Perry points to Colossians 4:2-6 to remind us that as we gain clarity of Christ, we should start to pray, walk, and speak differently than we did before.

What if you believe in God, but just don’t feel Him right now? This week, guest speaker Tyler Moffett, points us to Isaiah 49 as we consider what it means to navigate trials and suffering while trusting in God’s promises — and it all starts with a moment of surrender.
