What do you want more of this year? Whether we acknowledge it or not, our issue doesn't usually start with a lack of wanting; it's what we use to satisfy that desire. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Genesis 2 to show what God had in mind as He carefully crafted and commissioned humanity.

From the first verse of the Bible, we see that God is the Creator, but He is not a distant, bored deity. As we look at the weaving structure and intentionality with which He creates, His deep care is on full display. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Genesis 1 to highlight these truths of God's character and how they impact us today.

Anger as an emotion is not the issue; how we process that emotion is where the issue lies. So how do we do that? This week, Kylen Perry finishes out the "20/20" series by walking us through Psalm 37 to show how the solution to anger isn't "be happy," it's to engage in gratitude.

Are you so plagued by insecurity that it feels hard to see straight sometimes? While the problem of self-hate has grown rampant, Kylen Perry leads us through Psalm 139 to remind us that by seeing God rightly, we will have a clearer picture of who we really are.

Many of us guard our hearts from potential disappointment by lowering our expectations and living with little to no hope. But what if we got our hopes up? This week, guest speaker and Teaching Pastor at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Grant Partrick, walks us through Romans 15 to remind us of the abundant hope God offers.

Behavioral addiction doesn't just suddenly show up in our lives; it gradually creeps in without even registering on our radar. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Psalm 141's wisdom of pursuing self-control over indulgence even when it feels so out of our reach.

Emotions like fear and anxiety aren't inherently bad — they're warning lights that point to something else. But when those little alarms start going off in your head all the time, that's when they move from being a tool to an issue. This week, Tyler Moffett teaches from Psalm 46 to remind us that God is our refuge and strength so we don't always have to be on the defense.

We often find ourselves grappling with emotions and situations that leave us feeling out of depth. Some of us lead with our heads, while others are controlled by our hearts — but all of us need to find a healthier, gospel-centered way of navigating through our depression.

Many have sought the world's promises and turned up empty-handed, and while outright opposition to Christianity has slowly transitioned into curiosity, we as the Church don't have the luxury of sitting back. As Tyler Moffet walks us through 2 Timothy 3:10-4:8, we're reminded that we can't settle for fitting into a secular world — we're called to become consecrated followers of Jesus no matter the cost.

In a world where it's easy to find someone with a comfortable opinion rather than facing hard truths, it's more important than ever to identify and flee from any voice that contradicts Scripture. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 2 Timothy 3:1-9 to remind us not only to skillfully avoid the dangers of false teachers, but also to closely follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
