More than a Certificate

The Slow Burn

Have you ever found yourself winning a flawless, Emmy-winning argument in your car while driving entirely alone? It’s easy to get worked up over scripts we write in our heads. In a world that actively profits from keeping us angry, activated, and outraged, a temporary offense can quickly turn into a permanent outlook. Today, for Week 4 of our series Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times, we are looking at the book of Proverbs to examine "The Slow Burn" of anger and bitterness. We will discover how to widen the space between a hurtful stimulus and our response, protect our peace of mind, and choose a deeper grace over cultural contempt.

Lust and Cheaper Things

The counterfeit always looks better at the entrance than it does at the destination. Week 3 of Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times — an honest, non-shaming look at the wells we drink from, and the one that actually doesn’t run dry.

Enough and to Spare

Most of us are more comfortable giving our time and energy than our money. This week, Proverbs asks why — and what that might say about where we've placed our security.

The Beginning of Wisdom

We have more information than any generation in history — and we’re not always sure what to do with it. This morning we open a new series in Proverbs with the one question most of us have never been taught to ask: not “is this wrong?” but “is this wise?” It changes everything.

The Other Cheek

Jesus ends his Sermon on the Mount with its most demanding claim: love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. Be perfect as your Father is perfect. But what does that actually mean — for the person you've quietly written off, the relationship that's been cold for years, the face that comes to mind when you hear the word enemy? This Mother's Day, we close our You've Heard It Said series with the hardest and most hopeful word Jesus ever spoke. Not a call to be a doormat — a call to be complete.
