Lent:Death Became Victory | Week 1

In this season of Lent, we look back at our past sin so that we can remember our need for a Savior. We search our hearts for all of the ways we’re currently living out of step with the Holy Spirit. We confess and repent, preparing our hearts to celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Ambassadors for Jesus in the Workplace | Interview with Richard Stearns

This weekend, Tyler sits down with his mentor, Richard Stearns, to discuss the importance of being ambassadors for Jesus in the workplace. Whether your workplace is the home, in school as a student, or in a vocation, most of our time is spent "at work" in one way or another. How can we live with Jesus, being faithful to the calling to be "ambassadors for Christ" wherever we work?

Richard Stearns, a past president of Parker Brothers and Lenox, Inc., and of World Vision United States, an international Christian relief charity, offers wisdom from his career that will give you practical inspiration to Love the 'Ville in your workplace.

Unhurried Rhythms | Communion

Life can be complicated, and you want to get it right. We’re here to help you take back control of your time and attention so that you can take back control of your heart and mind.

In this series, we’re walking through everyday rhythms to help you live an unhurried life in the Way of Jesus. These rhythms are spiritual practices that invite us to recenter and slow down so that we can live every moment with God.

Today, we're finishing the series with the rhythm of communion. In order to experience the fullness that God intends us to enjoy during communion, we have to step back and remember where the practice originates and why the elements are significant for followers of Jesus.

Unhurried Rhythms | Sabbath

Jesus lived life on mission, but unhurried. This week, we're learning to keep a regular rhythm of time with God. Jesus prioritized time with his Father to rest and recover, to deal with overwhelming emotions, and to face down temptation. As followers of Jesus, we want to follow his example of Sabbath.

Unhurried Rhythms | Scripture Part 2

In this series, Unhurried Rhythms, our goal is to help you take back control of your time and attention so that you can take back control of your heart and mind.

The goal is to help you unplug from the voices of this world so you can plug into the voice of God. The hope is to help you rewire your way of life so that you can connect with The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

Today, we want to suggest that there is something truer and better than endless doses of political commentary, News, and Netflix. It's Scripture, and it's the number one best selling book of all time for a reason.

We're looking at a few questions that will help us audit our content consumption, and are encouraged to be formed most of all by the truth of God's Word.

Unhurried Rhythms | Scripture Part 1

This week, we're exploring the Unhurried Rhythm of studying Scripture with Professor Jon Weatherly. Are there things about the Bible that put you off, that you're weighing and considering? Do you ever wonder why Christians put so much stock in Scripture?

Today we're looking at the contrast between the Bible that people imagine and put at arms length, and the "real Bible" that people of faith experience when we allow Scripture to be what it was intended to be.

Unhurried Rhythms | How to Practice Prayer

How many tabs are open in your browser right now?

How many tasks are on your mind while you also try to read this caption? Are you giving any one thing your full attention? Chances are, you're probably reading this while also attempting to do something else.

Linda Stone, a tech writer and consultant, said that, “Continuous partial attention is our new default setting.” That was in 1998. In the last 20 years, this "continuous partial attention" has only become more partial because of technology.

When "continuous partial attention" is our default, it debilitates our capacity to hear, see, adore, petition, experience, and commune with God, what Christians call prayer.

In this series, Unhurried Rhythms, we’re walking through everyday rhythms to help you live an unhurried life in the Way of Jesus. There is no shortcut to spiritual maturity, but we hope to remove the stumbling blocks of shame and intimidation from practicing spiritual rhythms.

This week, we're taking a practical deep dive into the topic of prayer. You'll learn a few tangible ways to practice prayer, and walk away with the tools to integrate this rhythm into your day.
