    Known By Love

    At Studio, we want to be a place where God and people meet and to be a people known for our love. That kind of love doesn't happen by accident. It grows as we encounter Jesus and become more like Him. One of the greatest things Jesus changes isn't simply what we believe. He changes how we see and engage with people. Our world is quick to categorize, divide, and label. Before we know it, we stop seeing people and start seeing differences. Sin constantly reduces people. God always restores people. When we look at Jesus, we see a different way to live. He walked toward people. He shared meals with them. He listened. He healed. He touched the people everyone else avoided. Jesus was accessible, tender, humble, and He drew near. He crossed cultural and social boundaries because love was always greater than labels. As His followers, He's inviting us to do the same. To live a life of honor, respect and great value for each other. Honor says, “I don't have to agree with everything about someone to recognize the image of God in them.” Every person we meet carries immeasurable value because they were created in the image of God. What if we slowed down enough to really see people? What if we chose curiosity over assumption, honor over judgment, and love over fear? This week, ask the Lord, "Who have I stopped seeing?" Then take one simple step. Ask God what He loves about them. Start a conversation. Listen to someone's story. Encourage someone. Pray for them.

    Find Me Somebody To Love

    This Sunday we explored one powerful question: Does my view of God's goodness shape how I see my circumstances, or do my circumstances shape how I see God's goodness? Looking at the life of Daniel, we discovered that Babylon wasn't evidence that God had abandoned him—it was evidence that God was already at work in places no one expected. While many of us tend to measure God's goodness by comfort, answered prayers, or favorable circumstances, Daniel's life reminds us that God's greatest promise has never been a problem-free life. His greatest promise is His presence. When we believe God is only good when life goes the way we planned, we spend our energy trying to escape difficult places. But when we know His goodness is rooted in the reality that He is with us, and we are in Him, we become free to walk into hard places with hope, courage, and love. What if we've spent so much time asking God who we're supposed to love that we've overlooked the people He's already placed in our everyday lives? Just as Jesus entered the darkness rather than avoiding it, we are called to carry His presence into our neighborhoods, workplaces, friendships, and communities. The world may never believe that God is with them until they encounter people who are deeply convinced that He is. May we stop asking, "God, why am I here?" and begin asking, "God, who are You?" Because when we know who He is, we'll begin to see people the way He does, and love them accordingly. For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

    On the Journey of Becoming

    We're all on a journey of becoming. Every season is shaping us. The only question is... who are we becoming? When life feels hard or uncertain, it's easy to find ourselves praying, "Lord... when is this going to change?" I've prayed that more times than I can count. But what if God is inviting us to ask a different question? What if this season isn't just about what you're going through... but about what God is growing in you? "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." - James 1:2-4 NKJV James reminds us that God doesn't waste our seasons. He uses them to grow our faith, deepen our trust, and make us more like Jesus. The season may not be easy, but it isn't empty. So here's the challenge for all of us this week: Instead of praying, "Lord, get me out," pray, "Lord, what are You growing in me?" Look for His presence before His answers. Take a moment each day to thank Him for where you see His goodness. Gratitude has a way of opening our eyes to His faithfulness and provision. Our prayer is that we would become people who continue to trust God more - not because life is always easy, but because we know His character. Let's keep trusting God in every season and becoming more like Jesus. For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

    The Three Dimensions of Favor

    This past Sunday we continued our conversation on favor and looked at one of the most fascinating verses in the life of Jesus: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52) For years I've read that verse and wondered: How does Jesus grow in favor with God if He is already fully loved by the Father? What emerged was a framework that has helped me think about favor in a deeper way. Covenant Favor reminds us who we are to God. We are loved, wanted, welcomed, and accepted. This favor is rooted in God's nature, not our performance. Formational Favor asks what God is doing in us. Throughout Scripture, favor often leads people into seasons of formation. Joseph, David, Moses, Mary, and even Jesus all experienced this reality. Favor didn't remove the process—it worked through it. Entrusted Favor asks what God is inviting us to carry. As we grow in wisdom, maturity, humility, and faithfulness, God entrusts us with greater responsibility, influence, and opportunity. The challenge is that many of us collapse all favor into one category. We assume bigger platforms, greater influence, or more visible success means more favor. But Scripture paints a different picture. The favor of God begins with belonging and often matures into entrustment. My prayer for all of us this week is that we would stay rooted in covenant favor—God's love and delight toward us—while remaining open to the formation and entrustment He has for our lives.
