In the second episode of our marriage series, we'll talk about the ways we so often get caught up in a crazy cycle of barking orders or demanding things from our spouses. Too often we look at our husbands as enemies instead of our partners—who should be working with us toward the same goals.

In the first episode of this marriage series, we'll discuss how expectations can derail our marriages. Our husbands are not God. They can do a lot, but they can't fill our every need.

Instead of playing worrisome scenarios in our heads, we have an alternative. Pastor Dan encourages us by sharing what we can do instead of worrying.

Are you a "what-if" person who often thinks of worst-case scenarios? How do you get your anxiety under control if you're a "what-if-er"?

Do you ever feel like God isn't listening to your prayers as you grapple with depression?

It's not easy to follow Jesus and do the right thing when everyone around you is doing the opposite. So what can you do when you're feeling alone and outnumbered?

After achieving great success, why do we find ourselves feeling empty and depressed? Why do we feel like God has abandoned us?

What do you see when you look at the face of someone God has put in your life to help? Hint: Do you see Jesus?

You don't need to climb a spiritual ladder to get God's attention. Pastor Ben explains.

Say what? Jesus wants us to learn things from dishonest managers?

If we're not comfortable "partying with prodigals," maybe we're the ones who are lost.

Do you want to serve more? Stop measuring the wrong thing and focus on who's in front of you. Pastor Ben explains.

01.26.24. Shame is the unshakable feeling that we don’t belong, tempting us to run away from God and his people. Shame can be tied to something done to us, something we have done, or something we have continued to do. As hard as it is to open up about shame, it's even harder to address in the chu...

01.12.24 The people in our lives can lead us in different directions, good and bad. There are fools, the wise, and everyone in between. So how do we deal with people? How do we find our people?

01.05.24. "Be who you are." "You do you." That's what the world tells us. But what does Jesus say? When you're dealing with all the ups and downs of life, all your strengths and weaknesses, and all the complicating details of your life story, Jesus says the exact opposite: Don't be you. Pastor Mi...

God has been good to you this past year, and he will be good to you in the year to come.

Salvation is God's gift to us. He does all the work. We receive all the benefits.

We don't have to wonder what's in God's heart when he sees us. It's always love. Always.

When sorrow is a regular companion in your life, remember the loving way Jesus responds to it.

Waiting is hard, especially when the wait brings any amount of hurt or pain. The angels' visit to the shepherds reminds us that God sees us with love.

We can fear many things over the course of our lives. God will lovingly protect us from those fears and bring us safely home to be with him.
