Matthew 11:25–30 with Bryan Rouanzoin

Romans 5-7 and Mark 12: 29-31 with Bryan RouanzoinAs Paul describes, we are whole beings made up of parts - with a heart, mind, soul, and body. Pastor Bryan unpacks these parts and how we often end up drifting from the very way of life in Jesus that we are longing for. It is God who can draw these parts together into wholeness.

Mark 1: 14-20 and 2 Peter 1: 1-11 with Bill DogteromJesus invites his disciples to follow him, and to over time become like Him. He believed that abundance was truly available to us. Pastor Bill emphasizes that it doesn't matter what Jesus believes about us, if we don't believe it ourselves. This teaching invites us to lean in to the invitation of Jesus, to daily add to our faith through embodying the goodness he offers in abundance.

Holy and Whole invites us into the present reality of the Kingdom of God—not as a distant ideal, but as a transforming life available here and now.This series asks a simple, searching question: Did Jesus mean what he said? And did he expect us to live this way? Rather than a faith reduced to beliefs or forgiveness alone, Holy and Whole offers a deeper hope—that the life Jesus describes is not only beautiful, but possible.Together, we explore how God's renewing work shapes every part of us, so that holiness and wholeness are no longer competing ideals, but one integrated life

This week, Bryan reflects on a line from Bill's Teaching, "God is looking for men and women he can trust with the dreams of their heart." He walks through each of the three commitments that we believe shapes our Formation. A people of abiding in a culture of restlessnessWhere has restlessness quietly become normal?A people of transformation in a culture of superficialityWhat is shaping me more than scripture and prayer right now?A people of maturity in a culture of noveltyWhere am I tempted to chase what's new instead of tending to what's in me?

For this week's podcast, we sat down with two of our Table leaders and had a conversation about community. We share stories and insights about creating a culture of vulnerability and deep care. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome to our series on Canopy Church convictions. Our four anchoring convictions - Community, Presence, Formation, and Mission - are what guides our discipleship to Jesus as a church.What does it mean to be people of Community?A people of hospitality in a culture of polarization — creating spaces of welcome for strangers, neighbors, and friends.A people of integrity in a culture of hiddenness — practicing truth-telling, honoring one another, and choosing to be known.A people of reconciliation in a culture of rupture — growing through conflict and practicing forgiveness that binds us together.

Since the earliest days of the Church, followers of Jesus have been shaped by the word. Scripture is more than a historical record—it is a living encounter, where God's active presence speaks through written words to ground, challenge, and transform us.In this series, we'll deepen our commitment to reading, studying, meditating on, and surrendering to the Scriptures as we explore essential texts for our discipleship to Jesus. Together, we'll discover how God's word tethers us to life with Him—anchoring us in truth—while also drawing us forward into deeper intimacy and maturity in Christ.
