Eric chats with Andie Kepper, who shares two books that have been a significant influence in her journey with God.

Large crowds followed Jesus’ movements. They followed as he went from place to place and event to event. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they followed the person. Anyone can follow a system when it works for them. Followers of Jesus follow Jesus. Their hope is in Jesus, not their expectations.

Pastor Bob Evans shares three books that have inspired and shaped him on his own faith journey.

Peter placed too much confidence in his commitment to Jesus. We all tend to misunderstand God’s call. We think our commitment is what God is after. Jesus is not after our commitment, passion, or devotion. All of those will eventually wane. God is after a surrender of the will.

Commitment is dangerous. Surrender is secure.

Wildwood member Barbara Wright shares her new and exciting opportunity to serve through Mission to the World in Manchester, UK.

The new year prompts us to think about the areas of our lives we would like to grow. Books can be a great way to pursue that growth. Eric shares two books that have helped him grow. Over the next few weeks, Eric will chat with other Wildwood leaders about the books that have most impacted and shaped their lives.

“Follow me” are some of the first and last words Jesus spoke to Peter. What does it mean to follow Christ? It starts with an invitation. Jesus’ invitation is “come and see,” but His call is “follow me.”

New Year's is a time for resolutions and making changes. Change can be good, but first stop and ask yourself...why do I want to change? What is my heart motivation?

Are you waiting for God to speak in the lightning and thunder, or are you listening for God to speak in the quiet of the mundane?

On this Christmas Eve morning we witness a profound encounter with a man named Simeon and the baby Jesus. As Simeon held the infant in his arms he spoke about the future mission of this child and the stunning effect his life would have on his mother. This moment was the culmination of Simeon’s great longing for God to rescue his people. Throughout the account we discover significant practical lessons and truths for our own lives which affect the way we understand our salvation and even our parenting.
