Thrive in the Decline with Pastor Josh Cougle

The Other Six Days - Week 1

In week 1, we explore how work was God’s good gift in Paradise—before sin ever cursed it. From Genesis 2, we see God forming us, placing us with purpose, and calling us to cultivate and protect His creation as an act of worship. Your daily labor matters: it’s meaningful participation in God’s glory, redeemable in Christ, freeing us from burnout and misplaced identity.

Anxiety to Hallelujah - Week 1

Ever feel like the world is spiraling into chaos? Your phone, news feeds, and social media are feeding you endless outrage, villains, and doom—because that's what keeps you scrolling. Algorithms amplify anger and division, burying the calm, happy reality most people actually live. This eye-opening talk draws straight from Jesus in Matthew 6: stop obsessing over worries about tomorrow, needs, or threats—your heavenly Father already knows and provides. Break the anxiety loop: quit doom-scrolling, pray about everything with thanksgiving, and train your mind on what's true, honorable, pure, and lovely. God's peace isn't wishful thinking—it's promised when you trust His sovereignty instead of the feed. If constant negativity has you stressed, distracted, or doubting good wins, you'll want to hear this. It could change how you start your day.
