Christmas marks the arrival of a solution to an unsolvable problem—how to stand before God when obedience isn't good enough.
No one was looking for God to appear in person, yet Jesus came to make the invisible God unmistakably known.
It’s common to feel a tug-of-war between inner anxiety and recognizing God’s nearness. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and Steve Cuss, we’re invited to consider some false needs that may be steering our reactions.
First-century Israel expected a king who would overthrow Rome. Jesus offered a kingdom far bigger—and he had to redefine “Messiah” before they could see it.
A desperate situation leads to a bold move, but no one expects how Jesus responds. What He does next reveals something beneath the surface, something that could reshape the way you understand and live out faith.
Sometimes clarity comes from the most unexpected places. In this teaching, we explore a moment that breaks boundaries, challenges assumptions, and asks a question we may not be ready for.
Peter’s story takes a turn on a stormy night when he dares to step out of the boat. What begins as bold faith turns into a moment of sinking reality—and an unexpected glimpse of Jesus’ heart in the midst of doubt.
We set out to build a church where the convinced and the curious could belong.
It’s one thing to trust God when you’ve lost control; it’s another to resist acting like God once you’ve gained it.
When life goes from bad to worse, will you simply react—or respond as if God is still with you?
Your life isn’t defined by what’s been done to you, but by how you choose to respond—especially when every instinct says to react.
What if you don’t feel like serving? Billy reminds us that humility isn’t a feeling—it’s a choice. Love shows up through serving those in our space and throughout our city. Serve one another humbly in love.
The hardest part of waiting isn’t always the delay itself. Sometimes it’s the uncertainty of why God seems absent when we need him most.
We’re convinced that if we just do the right things, life will turn out the way we want—but what do you do when the formula breaks and you’re left waiting, powerless, and discontent?
Our biology and culture push us toward impatience, but God calls us to trust that what he’s doing in us is worth the wait.
Andy Stanley’s conversation with Bruce Deel highlights the inspiring work of City of Refuge, a Be Rich partner dedicated to moving people from crisis to independence.
Not everyone will have the opportunity to be famous, but everyone has the opportunity to be great.
Family can be both the most rewarding and most challenging part of life. The challenge is accepting the messy “real” while still aiming for God’s “ideal.”
People miss or dismiss Jesus sometimes, but when they do it’s usually for an unnecessary reason.
