***GIVEAWAY ALERT*** We've reached the end of another year! Martin, Sadie, and little Evie look back on the year that was. It's kind of a mess with a one year old, but isn't that just kinda what the last year has been? Instagram: @gatheringstudents

Host Sadie is graduating! Hear her share a few of the lessons she's learned over the past 4 years at Webster. Instagram: @gatheringstudents

Want to make a difference in the world? Ever been afraid to speak up when you saw something happening you knew was wrong? The Bible's got something to say about that, just for teenagers. Instagram: @gatheringstudents

Ever thought, "Why am I going to school?" Martin too! He almost dropped out of college. But a Nicholas Sparks movie and a letter from his mom helped him find why God had other plans for him there. Instagram: @gatheringstudents

Do you believe you can do big things? How do you deal with challenges that feel completely overwhelming? Join Sadie and Martin as they talk about climbing trails to waterfalls and big challenges. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

It's national pet day! But we're also talking about serving your neighbor, even washing the feet of your neighbor when they have sweaty, grody, sandally feet. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

Jesus spent a bunch of time talking about generosity and money! But how do we be generous when we don't have jobs or anything more than an allowance? Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

Comparison is the thief of joy. That's why we need to spend time realizing all we have to be thankful for! Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

Sometimes people see things differently than us. Like, most of the time. What do we do with that? Check out Sadie talking a bit about that this week. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

It's easy to point the finger at others when we don't want people to see our own hurts and mistakes. But tearing others down doesn't make us better, just brings us all down. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

We're all different. Different looks. Different skills. Different ideas and values. But different doesn't have to mean better or worse. Different can make us better. In fact, it DOES make us better. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

We should all have compassion right? Right?!?! But what if it's, like... hard? When we see people struggling, hurting, alone, it's on us to step in. And let others step in when we're hurting! Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

You ever walked into a room and thought, "I'm not sure I belong here..." We've all felt that before. And as people who follow Jesus, part of our responsibility is making room for everyone to belong. Jesus did. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

Sometimes people just suck! They can be mean and hurt us. Or we can just not like them a whole bunch. This week Sadie and Martin talk a little bit about why it's so hard to listen when we just want to talk! Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

Sometimes people just suck! They can be mean and hurt us. Or we can just not like them a whole bunch. But that doesn't mean they're not worthy of love. If we deserve love, that's true for everyone. That's what we're on this week with Martin! Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW STL After Hours Sign-up: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728

Sometimes people just suck! And sometimes they do stuff to really hurt us. It's not always on purpose. But hurt is hurt. How do you move on when someone's burned you? That's what we're on this week with Sadie and Martin (also, welcome to the saddest day of the year)! Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

Sometimes it's just hard to get along with people. They think silly things (like that M&M's are better than Skittles). Or sometimes it feels a little more serious than that. But just because we don't always agree doesn't mean we can't love each other. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

It's Advent, because JESUS. IS. COMIN! And today we're celebrating because Jesus is HERE. Sadie and Martin share Christmas memories, favorite movies, and a few Christmas jokes. STL After Hours: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728 Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

It's Advent, because JESUS. IS. COMIN! Joy's not just about feeling happy all the time. It's about finding a foundation that can be stable through the highs and the lows. STL After Hours: https://tithe.ly/event-registration/#/4565728 Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

It's Advent, because JESUS. IS. COMIN! What does love look like? Are you giving the world a good picture of love around you? Our Spotify Christmas Playlists...

It's Advent, because JESUS. IS. COMIN! Also, it might be the STRANGEST NATIONAL HOLIDAY in Skip the Snooze calendar. But this week we're talking peace.

It's Advent, because JESUS. IS. COMIN! Each week we're talking about a different week of Advent, and this week is hope. Why is it easy to lose? And what gives it?

Ever feel really, just... TIRED??? EXHAUSTED??? OVERWHELMED??? We could all use a little rest. So grab some with us this morning! Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

A lot of times who we're around determines how open we are to try new things! Join us as we talk about when and where God has opened us to new things. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

Sometimes the new thing is terrifying. And sometimes it's life-changing! Join us as we talk about what God might have in front of us if we were willing to step out and try something new. Instagram: @gatheringstudents CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/3grklfPWW

(GIVEAWAY ALERT!!! Be sure to listen for a chance to win) Being afraid doesn't have to mean we quit! Hear Martin and Sadie share some of the ways that they've overcome fears.

We're all trying to fit in! It's what we do. But this morning Martin and Sadie dive in on the story of Esther and the dangers when trying to fit in means we get lost in the shuffle!

Mental health matters. We think it's connected to our faith. Join Martin and Sadie to start a month-long conversation about the connection (and which lunch meat is best)!

Offensive lines are the biggest guys on a football team. But just like other teams, their success isn't about the individuals. It's about the unit. We don't have to be the best at everything. God designed us to be the best at what God designed us to be best at.

LAST EPISODE OF THE YEAR GIVEAWAY! It's been a fun year, and you've done hard things. And making it through hard things is how we grow, just like diamonds.

It's been hard to stay connected for the past year. But being connected is essential business. Intern Alexis shares her experience and struggle from the past year.

We're all works in process. We're all forever unfinished, kind of like a puzzle. You can't just pick a piece and go. You've got to start in one area and build it slowly but surely. That's how God builds our lives as well. Instagram: @gatheringstudents Gathering Students YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFY1ovJVAO8vNzmQWj9D2g CoreGroup Sign-ups: https://bit.ly/34HiAp
