In the story of Exodus, we meet a God who doesn't just set people free—He draws near to dwell with them. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this message reminds us that God sees, hears, rescues, and forms us to live with Him at the center. Freedom isn't the end of the story—it's the beginning of life with God.
Before sin, shame, or struggle, there was goodness—and grace. In this opening message of The Story So Far, we explore how the beginning of God's story is also the beginning of ours—a story marked by purpose, brokenness, and a calling to trust the Creator who's not finished with us yet.
As we wrap up our Weeds in My Garden series, we're reminded through Philippians 1:6 that even when life feels messy and unfinished, God is still tending the soil of our hearts.

If you're a parent, mentor, teacher—or just someone who cares—this is your invitation to lean in and make a difference.
Burnout isn't just feeling tired; it's when your soul feels like it can't go on.

Anxiety often feels like an unavoidable part of life—but what if much of it is fueled by false threats and unrealistic expectations? This week, pastor and author Steve Cuss explore the difference between real and chronic anxiety, uncover the “false needs” that drive our fear, and learn how relaxing into God's presence can free us from carrying a load we were never meant to bear. Let's find peace by trusting the God who is already in the room.

No matter what you're facing, there is hope, and there is help.
Even when we fail, God isn't finished with us.
