Amidst the chaos of the world and the circumstances of our lives, it is difficult to accept the peace that God offers.

Listen as Brett Clubb describes peace as a gift from God, produced within us by the Holy Spirit. God does not always change our circumstances, but rather meets our chaos with a peace that passes all understanding.

The first step towards wandering is forgetfulness. The first step towards faithfulness is remembrance. 

Listen as Tanner Petty tracks the faithfulness of God throughout the whole Bible, encouraging the audience to remember the ways that God has been faithful in their lives.

The emotion of happiness can come and go, but the joy of the Lord is not based on circumstances. Throughout scripture, Jesus teaches that the desires of our heart align with the source of our joy. 

Watch Week 2 of Good Fruit: The Fruit of the Spirit, as Sofia Thomas defines joy as an overflow of grace recognized.

David waited to be King. Abraham waited for a son. The Israelites waited for a Messiah.
These are powerful examples of how God can equip you in the waiting if you trust him with the process.

Our Groups and Care director, Tyler Lower, kicks off our Good Fruit: The Fruit of the Spirit Series with this teaching on patience and waiting on the Lord.

The final stage in the Journey of the Soul is the Life of Love. In this stage, we have acknowledged the realities of following Jesus and continue to grow in spiritual maturity. This maturity comes from embracing obedience and discomfort for kingdom impact. 

Listen as Pastor Jon unpacks the end of Peter's journey and see how this stage can set the coordinates in the life of a believer.

Stage Five of the Journey of the Soul is the Journey outward. This stage of the journey is when we begin to accept and embrace the consequences of following Jesus and our primary motivation becomes the desire to love honestly and live according to God’s purposes. God is calling us to reconstruct our faith on Jesus as our redeemer. When we look at Him that way, it changes everything.

Stage 4 of the Journey of the Soul is known as the Inward Journey. In this stage, we hit a wall of unbelief or doubt and begin to question if following God is worth it. 

Watch as Sophia Thomas follows the story of Peter and encourages us to love and serve people in their questions and pain.

This stage of the journey is best described as the doing stage. This is the period of time when we find ourselves working for God or being in God’s service. Having gone through the apprenticeship period in stage 2 (Life of Discipleship), now we are ready to do it on our own and to help others.

We often think that this is the pinnacle of our spiritual journey, yet in reality, it is less than half of the journey.

The Life of Discipleship is Stage 2 in the Journey of the Soul. This stage is characterized by learning and belonging in the church community. 

Listen to Pastor Jon speak on the importance of following Jesus alongside brothers and sisters in Christ as well as accepting Jesus' perfect design for the Church. 

Stage One in the Journey of the Soul is The Recognition of God. This stage has to do with acknowledging the awe of who God is and the redemption that He brings. 

Listen to Week 1 of the Journey of the Soul to hear Pastor Jon connect the beginning of Peter's story in Luke 5 to the first stage in the journey of a believer and follower of Jesus.
