Lent Edition!

Soccer is the Game... What God's Doing is the Story!

When the World Cup comes to your backyard, it’s easy to get swept up in the noise, but this convo reminds us that God is moving just as loudly. As Seattle fills with fans from every corner of the globe, doors are opening for everyday believers to share hope in simple, Spirit-led moments, whether it’s praying with a stranger on his 50th birthday or watching athletes boldly kneel in gratitude after a match. There’s something powerful about seeing world‑class players drop the spotlight and lift up Jesus, showing that humility isn’t weakness but worship. Whether a team wins 3–0 or loses 7–1, the posture of praise stays the same. It’s a timely reminder that what happens on the pitch can teach us how to live off it, with courage, compassion, and a faith that refuses to stay hidden.

Memorial Day Edition!

Memorial Day always makes me pause and breathe a little deeper as I think about the men and women who gave their lives so we could live and worship freely. Pastor Jesse and I keep coming back to Jesus’ words about greater love, and how the sacrifice of our service members reflects that same self‑giving love. My heart is full of gratitude, prayer, and awe for both God’s grace and the people who paid such a high price for our freedom.

Midweek Hope Edition!

Midweek Hope felt like one of those nights where the air practically buzzed with possibility—students from all over campus showing up curious, open, and ready to experience something real. What started as a simple space to focus on Jesus turned into a joyful, overflowing celebration, with hundreds receiving Bibles and many choosing to take new steps of faith. By the end, students were dancing, singing extra songs, and already asking when they could do it again.  Press PLAY for a vivid reminder that when God stirs hunger, He also supplies everything needed to meet it.

Holy Week Edition!

Holy Week has a way of slowing us down—inviting us to breathe, reflect, and remember the story that changed everything. Good Friday isn’t just a somber moment in history; it’s the breathtaking reminder that Jesus tore the veil, carried our sin, and opened the way to the Father through a love deeper than we can fathom. And Easter? It’s the explosion of hope that turns faith into something alive—anchoring us in a resurrection power that doesn’t fade when Monday comes, but walks with us into every ordinary moment, filling our homes, our churches, and our cities with the indestructible hope of Jesus.
