The kings of Israel are responsible for leading God's people into further obedience. Saul, the first king of Israel, is given the choice to faithfully lead God's people. Yet, he continually disobeys God because of his own insecurities as a leader. Saul's failure reveals that obedience is more than checking boxes off the list. True obedience is the natural response of a heart that knows they are loved by God.
How is God inviting you to take one step in faithful obedience? Why does obedience flow from love?

Summertime always brings around transitions, whether it's moving home, starting a new job or even saying goodbye to friends. How do we end and begin well? As we wrap up our final episode for this semester, we'll look at how we can say goodbye all the while stepping into what God has for us in new seasons. Our podcast will return with more episodes in the fall!

In our last message of the school year, Brennen closes our series by encouraging us to practice what we have learned. Over the past year, we have been learning through Sunday nights, small groups, and even our own personal times with God. Yet, this summer, we get the opportunity to lean in, and do the things we have been taught. The goal isn't perfection, but progress in becoming more and more like Christ.
What are three things that you can practice this summer? Who can keep you accountable in these?

Rest is more than just taking a nap, although naps are amazing! Rest is the process of being renewed so that we are prepared to jump right back in. Even in seasons of busyness, we can take the time to stop and be renewed. Join us as we look at practical ways we adopt a rhythm of rest in our life.

The brain is one of our greatest gifts from God yet, it can be our greatest enemy. Jaena explains how our brain can be a place in which we pursue Christlikeness or we pursue sin. Our thoughts are important, and what we think about affects how we live. As Jaena looks at Pauls encouragement in Philippians 4:8, she explains 8 words that are to describe the thoughts that lead us towards Christlikeness.
Why is our thought life important? What is one thing God is asking you to surrender in order to pursue Christlike thoughts?

We are created to worship God, but what does this actually mean? Worship is more than singing in church, it's a way of responding to who God is and what he has been doing. Join us as we look at ways we can worship God wherever we may be!
