This Is WholeLife

Great Question 2026: Q3 - Ken Wetmore

In Part 3 of our Great Questions series, “Hooked on a Feeling,” we explore how to rediscover the early church’s passion for Jesus and the mission of the gospel. Is following Jesus about chasing spiritual highs, or building a lasting relationship with Him? Discover how abiding in Christ and living through the Holy Spirit can bring purpose, joy, and faithfulness as we await His return.

NEXT WEEK: Great Question: Q4 - Melanie Bockmann | The Question Is: If Jesus is the fullest revelation of God, how do we determine whether a troubling biblical command expresses God’s unchanging character, accommodates an ancient culture or reflects the writer’s limited understanding? What keeps that discernment form becoming a way of selecting the God we already prefer and what evidence should make us reconsider our interpretation? In our desire to love others and avoid being judgmental, how do we make sure we haven’t become so uncomfortable with the idea of judgment that we’re also afraid to acknowledge sin as sin?

Great Question 2026: Q2 - Ken Wetmore

The Question is: How do I navigate the tension of deeply loving someone who is a non-Christian while trying to keep Jesus at the center of my life? Does God really want me to walk away from a good person just because they don't believe? And for those who are already married or in a long-term relationship with a non-believer, what is God’s word to them? How do you practically and faithfully live out your faith in that home every day?

NEXT WEEK: Great Question: Q2 - Ken Wetmore | The Question Is: The early church lived with an incredible sense of urgency. They had witnessed Jesus resurrection and ascension, expected his return, were filled with the Holy Spirit, and seemed to practically live for spreading the gospel. Almost two thousand years later how do we recover the same passion and openness to the Holy Spirit when Christ’s return may not seem immediate to us? When it comes to our lives today should we even be looking for a balance between our careers, families, plans, and the commission of the gospel, or does being truly led by the Holy Spirit mean going all in as the early church did. How do we deal with the disappoint that we might not see Jesus come back in our life time?

Great Question! 2026: Q1 - Ken Wetmore

The Question Is: What makes something truly good or evil, and does the standard change when it comes to God?

We’ll wrestle with the idea of absolute morality and the difficult questions that challenge how we understand God’s actions. Join us as we explore what defines good, evil, and the difference between them.

NEXT WEEK/NEW SERIES: Great Question - Ken Wetmore (FIRST QUESTION: Is there such a thing as absolute good or absolute evil? If so, what is the difference? For example if we do something bad to someone it’s considered evil but if God does the same thing it’s considered good. So, is there good and evil, and what’s the difference?).

This Is WholeLife: Future - Ken Wetmore

Future looks ahead to what God may be calling WholeLife Church to become—and the courage it takes to move forward. Through John 21, we’re reminded that following Jesus may require new approaches, unexpected changes, and a willingness to grow. The future isn’t about having every answer; it’s about faithfully taking the next step and continuing to follow Jesus.

Voices of WholeLife 2026: Forge - Taylor Bothwell

Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we see that their courage in the furnace was built through years of small decisions to remain faithful. The goal of forging isn’t perfection, it’s allowing God to use the heat, pressure, people, and choices along the way to shape our strength, beauty, and identity.

Great Families: The First (Dysfunctional) Family - Ken Wetmore

Even the Bible’s first families were far from perfect—marked by conflict, blame, brokenness, and dysfunction. Jesus reminds us that family is ultimately shaped not by perfection, but by love, faithfulness, and a shared desire to follow God. Healthy families begin when we take responsibility for ourselves, establish healthy boundaries, grow intentionally, and remain grateful for what we have.
