The Shepherd and the Valley

From have to...To get to - with Glen

Last week we were reminded that we are deeply loved by the Father. This week, Glen asks an honest question: What would change if we actually lived as though we believed it? So often we slip into performance, believing we have to earn God's approval through what we do. But the gospel tells a different story. Because of Christ, we already belong. We no longer serve God from obligation, but from love. What once felt like "I have to" becomes "I get to." As we receive the Father's love more deeply, our lives begin to change, not because we're trying harder, but because His grace is transforming us from the inside out.

The Long Game of Love - with Branden

This Father's Day, Brandon reflects on the heart of the Father revealed through Jesus and what it means to live from a place of being deeply loved. Rather than striving for approval, he emphasizes the reality that we are already accepted as sons and daughters. He speaks about how many men carry pressure to perform, provide, and prove their worth, often believing their value is tied to what they do rather than who they are. Brandon highlights the importance of breaking free from that mindset and learning to receive love without condition. He challenges men to embrace vulnerability, to lead from a place of security in the Father's love, and to model a different kind of strength, one rooted in identity, not achievement. As the Holy Spirit reveals the Father's true nature, we are freed from fear, performance, and orphan thinking into a life grounded in belonging and intimacy. Living from that place changes how we relate to God, ourselves, and others, shaping a life that reflects His love over time. The long Game of Love. We would love to hear your story!

Living Hope

Resurrection life invites us into a different way of seeing. Through the living hope of 1 Peter and the challenge of Matthew 25, we are reminded that the kingdom of God is not something distant we wait for, but an inheritance we are called to live from today.  Jesus meets us in the hungry, the thirsty, the lonely, and the overlooked. The places the world avoids are often the very places where the treasures of the kingdom are hidden. As we learn to listen well, love generously, and hold every person as sacred, resurrection life begins to overflow through ordinary acts of grace. We are invited into the Kingdom to inherit it and to reveal it. Camp in This Week: * 1 Peter 1  * Matthew 25:31–46  We would love to hear your story!

The Shepherd and the Valley

Psalm 23 reminds us that resurrection life begins with knowing the Shepherd. He is the One who leads, restores, guides, protects, prepares, anoints, and shelters. Even when we walk through valleys, we are not abandoned. We are accompanied.  Too often we live from a place of lack, fear, striving, or uncertainty. But the invitation of resurrection life is to rest in the truth that He is with us. As we learn to trust His gentle leading, we discover that we lack nothing, we are not alone, and His goodness and kindness continue to pursue us.  We would love to hear your story!

A Heart of Flesh

As we continue our journey through the Resurrection Life series, we are invited to examine the condition of our hearts. We see that resurrection is not only about what Jesus has done for us, but about what He longs to awaken within us now.  A soft heart remains open to compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and love. A hardened heart can restrict the flow of resurrection life. As we stay close to Jesus, He gently removes what has become calloused and restores us to wholehearted love for God and for one another. When we choose grace over judgment, compassion over self-protection, and connection over isolation, resurrection life begins to flow freely through us once again.
