John Garner, Connections Pastor of ClearView Baptist Church in Franklin, Tennessee teaches on "A Brand New Thing."
Luke gives us a glimpse into the young childhood of Jesus in Luke 2:40-52. Jesus and his family travel to Jerusalem to take part in the Passover festival. While traveling home to Nazareth, Mary and Joseph realize that Jesus is not with them. Frantically, Mary and Joseph return back to Jerusalem the next day to look for the boy Jesus. They find Jesus in the temple, sitting with the scribes and Pharisees. This is very shocking for his parents. After some discussion with his mother, Jesus and his parents return back home to Nazareth, where Jesus continues to grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.

This week, our Connections Pastor, Syndi Shoff brings us a message to encourage through seasons of trial and suffering!
READ: Acts 13:2; Exodus 34:28; Matthew 4:2 MEDITATE: Through prayer and fasting, God gave Saul (Paul) and Barnabas a new mission. He gave Moses the Ten Commandments. Jesus found strength and power to initiate his public ministry and start his journey to the cross. Fasting can precede supernatural change, empowerment, and mission. To what is God calling You today? PRAY: Lord open my spiritual eyes, ears, and heart to what you are saying to me today. Whether it's a new word, mission, or ministry, may I receive it, accept it, and obediently walk in it that I might honor you. Need prayer?

READ: 2 Chronicles 20:20-21; Psalm 68:1-10 MEDITATE: Just as fasting is a means of putting our physical bodies under subjection, praise is a means of putting our mental, emotional, and spiritual beings under subjection to God's authority. What areas of your life do you need to give back to God and give him authority over once again? PRAY: I give you praise, O God, for your faithful love that endures forever!

Kathleen Welcher was brand new in her role as Care and Connections Pastor at First Christian Church (Phoenix, AZ), when she took Pastor Yoo's trauma-informed care training, and to her surprise, got triggered.

How can the Enneagram help us process through grief and loss? Today, we're revisiting a past episode of the podcast where I had a conversation with Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige. We talk about how the Enneagram has helped both of our families as we have navigated the loss of both of our sons. On this episode, we'll share openly about: How we all grieve differently The value of huddling together as a family Leaning into grief as a way of healing Holding space for others who are grieving The importance of being gentle with yourself as you grieve Grief is a lifelong journey. It's not something we move on from but move forward with. As I revisit this conversation several years later, I'm reminded of the healing and inner work that is still taking place for me. I hope our conversation helps you navigate and process your own grief and loss as together, we learn how to practice grief in healthy and authentic ways.

5 Leadership Questions Podcast on Church Leadership with Todd Adkins
In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Dan Iten are joined by Danny Franks, the Connections Pastor at the Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, as they discuss the book, "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Guidara. The book tells the story of Will Guidara, a New York restaurateur, and his experience running the number-one restaurant in the world. The podcast explores the book's main points, such as the importance of exceptional service and authentic connections, and how they apply to leadership and first impressions within the church. BEST QUOTES “They really focused on the service and what happened in the dining room versus what happened in the kitchen. As church leaders, we can really learn a lot about that as we learn to set up the table for guests as they enter our building.” – Danny Franks “It's important for us to understand that in the context of the church, we need to be aware of where the culture has shifted and to adjust accordingly. Not to water down what we do, if anything, to distill down what we do to serve better.” – Todd Adkins “No matter what industry you're in, service is ultimately important.” – Todd Adkins “When you do your job in color, it means that you make people feel great about the job that you're doing for them. You're doing it to make an authentic connection, which is hospitality.” – Danny Franks “There are certain fads that come and go with the church world, but taking care of humans, that's not ever going to go away. That's something that we need to continue to think about as we try to make people feel welcome and ready to worship the Lord coming into a Sunday service.” – Danny Franks “Repetition is extremely important. Whether it's our vision and values, or any of those things, you can't assume that somebody understands why you're doing it.” – Todd Adkins “A lot of leadership is shifting from being intuitive to intentional, and that's where you get the gains.” – Todd Adkins “Being in the local church, my primary role is built around creating a culture that takes outsiders and makes them insiders.” – Danny Franks “I think a lot of times, especially in the climate that we're in too many people have too few expectations for churches, and they just kind of show up expecting to be disappointed if they show up at all.” – Danny Franks Yes, it's a clear command from Scripture that we must show hospitality. But it's not supposed to point to itself. It's got a point beyond itself as a signpost straight to the Gospel. We can't get that wrong.” – Danny Franks “If we are continually failing, in the implicit or explicit promises that we made to people, and we're not even measuring up to their low expectations for us, we might not ever get a chance to point them to the gospel.” – Danny Franks RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect by Will Guidara All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir by Beth Moore Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business by Danny Meyer Inside the Magic Kingdom: Seven Keys to Disney's Success by Tom Connellan The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield

A message by Connections Pastor, David Garcia, about meditating on Scripture.
Our hearts yearn for a love that the world cannot give. Worldly love is motivated by fear and maintained by performance. From the book of Jude, Pastor Harrison Conley shares a message of hope and the totality of God's love. We learn that we do not need to base our love for God on performance but by understanding that He sent His Son Jesus to be the propitiation for our sins. The whole Christian life and experience is a response to His love. We love Jesus because He first loved us.
