Isn’t it adorable watching an older couple express a thriving love that has stood the test of time? We can all learn something from that kind of intentional love. These three guided audio meditations are about learning to love others. The first meditation explores how to live in unity with others simply. The following meditation sets a higher standard. And finally, a reflection helps us model God’s love towards others.

Lots of people are simply making it. They are not thriving at life–they are just surviving life. Do you find yourself in that group–the group that is just surviving? There is a way to thrive no matter what your circumstances may be. The Bible calls it an “overcoming spirit.”

Though we live in a fast-paced, success-driven culture, we recognize the detrimental effects of burnout caused by the constant need to be productive. God sets the primary example of resting from work at the beginning of Genesis and then provides the Sabbath for his people. We seek rest in order to maintain a healthy relationship with our own self, with others, and with our work.

You are always in the process of becoming. Who you are becoming may be more or less who you really want to be. As a follower of Jesus Christ, you are meant to become more like Him. One day, one decision, and one action at a time. The Becoming reading plans will look at four facets of discipleship, moving you closer to a life that looks like Jesus.

In our age of connection through technology, many seem to feel more alone than ever before. Face-to-face friendship appears more difficult than superficial words on a screen. But, we were created for friendship, firstly with the Lord, and then with those around us. How do we cultivate healthy friendships with others, and be the type of friend that others would like to be around? Join us on a three-day journey into what it means to build great friendships that thrive.

Do you find yourself swerving around potholes as you drive down the road? If we're honest, we typically prefer the smoothest ride possible, opting for comfort at every turn, free of tolls & road rage. In life, most people crave a bump-free journey, too. Much to humanity's dismay, Jesus issued the disappointing news in John 16, verse 33: “Here on earth you will have many trials & sorrows.” Why didn’t He tell His faithful followers that He was removing heartache & tragedy from this earth? Let's talk about life's unwelcomed detours & how we can navigate them with the Truth of God's Word.

God, through His Word, gives a pretty clear picture of what it means to love unconditionally. This type of love isn’t just meant to be a four-letter word—it’s a way of being. It’s something that should pour out of us so naturally that it is present within every action—and in the ways we are called to fill in the gaps and be there for those around us. This truth was the heart of the civil rights movement, and this truth defined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for all to be recipients of justice and compassion.

Some absences leave deeper marks than words. We have all experienced the disappointment of a friend who walks away at the moment we needed them most. Yet Proverbs 18:24 reveals a powerful truth: there is a friendship stronger than family ties. In this plan, you will discover how to recognize authentic relationships, how to become a steady friend, and, above all, how God reveals Himself as the faithful Friend who remains when everything else shakes. If your heart has ever been wounded by a relationship, these few days can begin restoring it.

Maybe you haven’t stopped believing in Jesus. But maybe you’ve felt distant. You still love Him, But prayer feels inconsistent. The Bible feels unopened. Church feels optional. John 15: “Remain in Me.” A branch cannot survive disconnected from the vine. This plan is your invitation - not to perfection - but to presence. Try This: Before reading Day 1, open your Bible and pray honestly, even a single verse or a 1-minute prayer counts. You Were Made to Abide!

Jesus' public ministry was almost over, and he took the time to teach his disciples and us what it means to be one of his followers.

There seems to be a gap between God’s promises for Christ-followers and what we actually experience in our day-to-day lives. God wants to help you close that gap, but self-help will never get you there. This four-day plan confronts the lie of self-help with God’s power to truly change us.

HOW TO USE THE GREATER MEETINGS: These four topics were designed to fit together for a complete message. It’s not recommended to skip any of the topics completely. If you need to cover the contents in fewer than four meeting times, you may decide to focus a bit more on one or two topics while hitting the highlights in the others. The theme for this year is GREATER. We play with a new purpose: He must become Greater, and we must become less.

In this 4-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson gives Biblical wisdom for life’s relationships. This plan will encourage you to reflect on singleness, friendship, marriage, and divorce as we attempt to love the way Jesus loved in the various relationships we may find ourselves in.

Life & Death. You may encounter them both daily, you might even say they are a part of this life. Jesus, though, is the "prince of life": He died and rose again from the dead; He has the final word. Life and death come together in Jesus in a special way. What does that mean for you as a disciple of Jesus? What do you live for? And what would you give your life for?

In the "Everything You Need" Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at John 15 as Jesus speaks to four specific topics that often make us fearful when we think about the future. Prayerfully, as we learn to abide in Christ as He abides in us, we will find freedom from the fear of tomorrow and confidently embrace the Purpose He has for us today!

What are you missing if you only read the Bible? We have long recognized that the Bible was written for us, but not to us, and requires us to make efforts to bridge the cultural gap between ourselves as readers and the writers of the ancient world. In this study, we will become aware of yet another gap that we must recognize and factor into our reading: we must bridge the modality gap between the written word and the oral word.

Many women live under the weight of doing more, being more, and achieving more, even in their walk with God.

This 4-day devotional invites the multi-responsible, high-achieving woman to step out of striving and into surrender. Through reflections and Scripture, you'll move from head knowledge to heart acceptance, living as God’s friend in gratitude, honesty, and trust.
