Our world treats sex like a product or a secret shame. But God created it as covenant glue, a powerful and sacred act that shapes souls, not just bodies. This week invites us to dismantle lies about sex and reclaim God’s design for intimacy, holiness, and flourishing.

Many treat dating as trial-and-error shopping for “the one.” But Scripture frames it as a process of discernment, boundaries, and patience. Ruth and Boaz remind us that God honors faithfulness, integrity, and trust. Love is worth waiting for, and God uses waiting seasons to shape us.

Love is… is a series for anyone who’s ever asked, “What even is love anymore?” Culture says love is chemistry, a feeling, or a quick swipe. But God paints a bigger picture: love as a sacrifice, intimacy as holy, and dating as a form of discipleship. Together, we’ll reclaim what love truly is and discover how His love shapes who we are becoming.

Is “Abolish ICE” becoming the next cultural flashpoint where outrage replaces nuance and everyone is forced to pick a side? In this episode, we cut through the noise to explore how immigration enforcement got here, why the extremes are so tempting, and what a Christ-centered “third way” might look like that holds both safety and human dignity together. If you’re exhausted by the binary and looking for wisdom instead of hot takes, this conversation is for you.

What if your identity was never something you had to earn?
In the final week of the PERFCT series, we explore what it means to live as God’s children—not striving for approval, but resting in love. Through Scripture and the powerful image of fridge art, this message confronts performance-based faith and invites us to receive our identity as a gift, not a grade.
Because of Jesus—the one perfect Son—we’re free to stop hiding, stop striving, and run to the Father.

When we are willing to admit that we all need Jesus in our families we can grow at our pace and in our place of life.

Genesis gives us a picture of marriage not as a fairytale, but as a holy partnership. We’ll look at the call to “leave and cleave,” and how modern relationships often struggle to prioritize what God intended. This week offers hope for the married, divorced, or dating. In a culture that has seen the abuses and misuses of marriage, it is easy to abandon all of it, but the original prescription is worth revisiting and welcoming Jesus back into the work of being our center, together.

David’s family was blessed and broken, marked by spiritual calling and generational dysfunction. This week unpacks how family legacy doesn’t have to define your future. We’ll explore why grace is not just for individuals, but for systems, stories, and generations. We choose the stories we tell ourselves about the life we have been given and the one we are living. Together, we will examine that story and assess its impact on our futures.
