Life is hard and sometimes messy. If our groups are growing closer, then we will inevitably walk with each other through difficult times. Tyler interviews Olathe Community Group Leaders David and Jessica Weatherford about how they have been ministered to, as well as able to minister to others in their group.

Everyone has a Monday. It's the home where you live, and the people you love. It’s your neighbors and hobbies, where you work or go to school. It’s the causes that capture your heart. Those things—both ordinary and extraordinary—that make up all of life. Everyone has a Monday. But too often, churches have merely focused on Sunday, even though following Jesus has always been about all of life. Listen in as Tyler Chernesky interviews Nathan Miller and Andrew Jones about our upcoming Sermon Series - Church for Monday.

Nathan Miller (Senior Pastor of Congregational Development) joins Tyler to give our Community Group Leaders a window into how our latest Community Group Curriculum dovetails with our upcoming Sermon Series.
