Sadie Dodson | “God loves us even in our sin. God forgives us over and over. God always pursues us.  Satan says that confession is condemnation; God says confession is freedom. Satan says we are isolated and alone; God says we are known and loved.”

Ruthie Bond | Making room at the Table was always meant to be both the job and the joy of the Church.

Jim Wickenkamp | “We celebrate that in Jesus, our salvation is complete. At the same time, we are still on the pathway of experiencing completeness in Jesus. As we follow Jesus, He is still growing us and maturing us.”

Jay Greer | “Imagine all the story arcs we will get to connect one day in heaven, where we see just how far the tiny mustard-seed-sized kingdom of God has grown into a massive tree.”

Gabe White | “If not now, when?” That question has stuck with me. It made me start wondering what else in my life I might be putting off. What other good things might I be delaying?
