3. What It Means to Love God with All of Your Mind // Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5 // Jocelynn Olminsky

Our minds are constantly racing with anxiety, insecurity, comparison, negative self-talk, and the pressure to find validation from other people.  This week, Jocelynn unpacks what Jesus meant when He said to love God with all of your mind. She explores how our thoughts shape the way we live, how our feelings can easily take control, and how Jesus wants to transform the way we think before our minds start to spiral.

2. What It Means to Love God with All of Your Heart // Mark 12:28-31, Proverbs 4:23 // Isaac Bogue

The heart shapes every part of our lives. From our thoughts and emotions to our choices and desires, everything flows from the heart - and apart from Jesus, our hearts are broken searching for things that can never truly satisfy us. Isaac unpacks how sin, pain, culture, and the things we consume affect our hearts, while pointing to the hope of the Gospel: Jesus doesn't want to fix our behavior - He wants to give us a brand-new heart.

1. Power of the Resurrection // Luke 24:36-49 // Isaac Bogue

What if the resurrection of Jesus actually changes everything?  In this episode, Isaac unpacks why the resurrection isn't just a story we hear at Easter - but the foundation of our faith, the key to understanding Scripture, and the greatest source of hope in our lives. Because Jesus rose from the dead, no situation is too far gone, no struggle is too big, and our future is secure.
