  • Healing Mental Scars

    Healing Mental Scars

    · STUDIO

    On Sunday, Pastor Eric shared a talk that I know is pertinent to each of us. As you know we can get scars on our bodies from injuries and medical procedures. There are other kinds of scars that no one can see but anyone around you will experience them. Let’s call them Mental Scars, these scars develop when painful and hard circumstances take place in our life. Science is showing us that mental scars actually build up scar tissue in our brain.

    When mental scar tissue develops in the brain essentially what is taking place is your brain rewires itself and becomes more rigid. It’s a self protective mechanism to reduce the odds of experiencing the pain again. When scar tissue develops in the brain it can make your brain hyperactive, leading to constant fear and anxiety. Part of your brain shrinks in ways that can cause problems with memory and learning. It also makes it more difficult to regulate emotions. Your brain creates protective mechanisms that can look like emotional numbness, distrust, perfectionism or avoidance behaviors.

    HOWEVER, DON’T WORRY! Do you want to know what you can do to help heal your brain!?! One of the most powerful tools for healing mental scar tissue is “GRATITUDE”. Gratitude from a scientific perspective can help “soften” the rigid defensive patterns that pain creates. Over time it creates new neural pathways that are more flexible, hopeful and trusting. It strengthens the part of your brain that regulates your emotions, calms the part that processes fear and danger. In a way it lays healthy tissue over old wounds.

    This we know is a strong biblical practice not only as an expression of worship but it also has healing properties to our brain. So my encouragement to you is to become ridiculously grateful and let’s watch what takes place in our bodies and our lives.

  • Easter Sunday -

    Easter Sunday - "Cosmic Collision"

    · STUDIO

    This Easter, we reflect not just on the event of the resurrection but the deeper story unfolding within it — a cosmic collision of heaven and earth. For centuries, the Jewish people longed for a Messiah who would come in power and liberate them from oppression. But Jesus came not as a political savior but as a suffering servant, confronting not just Rome, but the root of all human brokenness — sin and separation from God. The cross, once a symbol of defeat, becomes the ultimate paradox: weakness turned into strength, death into life, shame into glory. The early Church Fathers saw it as more than an execution device — they saw it as a cosmic intersection, where time met eternity, and love redefined power.

    What if we’ve misunderstood where God is? Many imagine Him as distant, above the sky, out there somewhere — but Easter tells a different story. He came. He entered creation, submitted to human limitations, and became the bridge between the spiritual and natural world. The torn veil wasn’t just symbolic — it marked the end of separation. Love led Him to the cross, and love is what continues to hold the universe together. This isn’t just about forgiveness — it’s about restoration. The story of God is not just about fall and redemption but about creation, restoration, and His continued presence with us. This Easter, may we become more aware — not of a distant God, but of the One who is already near.

  • Clearing Out The Clutter

    Clearing Out The Clutter

    · STUDIO

    I wonder what it would have been like to be one of those who greeted Jesus as He humbly came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Jesus was met with people laying down their cloaks and palm branches on the road. This journey would ultimately lead to His death and resurrection. It is because of His yes and love for us that we look forward to Good Friday and Easter this coming weekend.

    We might not have palm branches, but we honor God by welcoming Him into our lives, worshiping Him and giving Him our everything. As we turn to God and yield our hearts to Him, He is maturing and forming us in love. It is in this intimate space that He begins to refine us and rearrange our priorities. It is also the space where our wills bend toward God and away from other things - where we become quick to repent.

    His love is like a fire that we not only build our lives around, but it’s the fire that burns in us and it shapes us, forms us, and matures us.

    As we remember all that Jesus has done, let us take time to step into the light and examine our own hearts. The Lord is purifying His church and with purity, comes clarity.

    Matthew 5:8, blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God

    Lord, we thank you for your great love and we ask that you will purify us and clean out the clutter in our lives. Forgive us in any area that we have been partnering with something other than you. Today we lay down our lives and we invite your love into every space.

    Create Pt. 4 - "The Breath of God"

    · STUDIO

    “In the beginning, God”

    All it takes is a spark to change the world. Being created in the image of God means that we have the choice to create. This week, Pastor Eric spoke to us about the possibilities that came out of this one breath of God. He also spoke about the wisdom and discipline involved in cultivating talents even in the moments when we aren’t inspired.

    This past week, we were honored to host our first INSPIRE Conference, which brought people together from our region and from all over the world to explore the intersection of creativity and faith. We got to meet so many incredible creators, but we were also so thrilled to see the many people in our own community who stepped up to make this event happen. As you recover and regain your “regularly scheduled programming,” we bless your own journeys with creating as we continue forward in Greenville!

  • Create Pt. 3 -

    Create Pt. 3 - "The Image of God"

    · STUDIO

    This past Sunday, we continued pt. 3 in the Create series with Eric’s teaching on "The Image of God". In Genesis 1:26-27, we learn that humans are made in God's image and likeness. The Hebrew terms for "image" (Tzelem) and "likeness" (Demut) show that while we're not divine like God, we do resemble Him in qualities like reason, creativity, relational capacity, moral awareness, and the ability to make decisions. Every person, regardless of background, has inherent worth because of this divine likeness—something that's central to the Christian worldview.

    Given that humanity is created in God's image, humans share in God's creative nature. Artists, musicians, writers, and creators are reflecting God's creativity when they create works that bring beauty, truth, and life into the world. Through creativity, people are invited to reflect the nature of the Creator, engaging in acts of imagination and innovation that also speak to God's beauty and order.

    “Artists in the last century have been functioning in society to reveal brokenness; in this century, can they lead the way toward reconnection, reconciliation and reintegration?”

  • Create Pt. 2 -

    Create Pt. 2 - "The Power of Wonder"

    · STUDIO

    This past Sunday, we leaned into the power of wonder and how it connects us to God and our divine design. Albert Einstein once said, “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.”

    From the vastness of the heavens to the peculiar beauty of the Okapi, all of creation vibrates with God’s intentional design. Psalm 19 tells us that the skies pour forth speech, revealing knowledge—though we may not hear it, creation is constantly declaring His glory. And God didn’t just place us in this world—He made us receivers of it! Our senses were designed to interpret and engage with His creation, calling us to be fully alive in wonder.

    But something happened. Humanity exchanged wonder for certainty, limiting what we believe is possible. The moment we put God in a box, we shrink our world, our faith, and our creativity. Yet, from the very beginning, God designed us to co-create with Him. When He filled Bezalel with His Spirit—the first person ever filled with the Holy Spirit—it wasn’t to preach, but to create. Because when creativity is connected to God, it releases His Spirit and brings Heaven to Earth.

    God is inviting us to return to wonder. To break free from small thinking. To create with Him. Whether through art, business, relationships, or the way we serve others—our creativity becomes a vessel for His presence.

    So, let’s not let the enemy steal our wonder. Let’s allow God to breathe life into what seems lifeless. Because when we create in wonder, we make space for the impossible.

    What would happen if we lived in awe of God again? If we embraced the fullness of how He designed us?

    Let’s step into wonder—and watch as Heaven touches Earth.

    Create Pt. 1 - "Beauty Created the World, Beauty Can Save the world"

    · STUDIO

    It is beauty that moves the human soul. Whether through a piece of art, sound, or the vastness of the night sky, we are drawn toward creation, toward wonder, toward something beyond ourselves. It is curiosity. It is innovation. It is communion. Beauty is directly connected to our existence. Before we know God as provider, healer, comforter, savior
In Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created
”. He introduces himself first as “Creator”.

    What God does next is perhaps his most adventurous and riskiest creation, the introduction of Human Choice. Our ability to create came from Him, what we create is on the other side of choice. It is because of this we decide what we bring into this world and what it reflects.

    There is too much sickness in this world to not create beauty

    There is too much mental illness in this world to not create and innovate

    There is too much war in this world to not create beauty

    There is way too much corruption in this world to not create

    There is too much meaninglessness in this world to not create beauty

    There is too much hopelessness in this world to not create

    There is too much brokenness in the world around us to not create and innovate

    Our Culture is too broken to not create, innovate or bring beauty in this world. Beauty created the world, Beauty can save the world.

    The Spirit Pt. 5 - "Character and Our View of Humanity"

    · STUDIO

    As we conclude our Spirit series, we want to invite you into my lifelong journey of experiencing, witnessing, and wrestling with the gifts of the Spirit—both their beauty and their challenges. The gifts of the Spirit were God’s idea, designed to be expressed through humanity. Yet, without people willing to walk in integrity and love, they remain abstract and ineffective. This brings us to two crucial aspects that shape how we engage with spiritual gifts: Character and our View of Humanity.

    Character is more than just avoiding failure—it is the road and guardrails that allow us to move forward in our spiritual journey. Developing character means making pre-set choices that align with our identity in Christ, valuing integrity, humility, and accountability. At times, the misuse of spiritual gifts has led to pain and disappointment, but rather than abandoning them, we are called to steward them with wisdom and love. Likewise, how we view humanity directly impacts how we operate in these gifts. If we see people through the lens of God’s love, we will minister with grace and compassion. Our past experiences, personal narratives, and theological perspectives shape our understanding of others, but we must continually align our view with God’s heart. As we move forward, may we commit to building a culture that values truth, integrity, and a deep respect for the people we are called to serve. Let’s continue this journey together, leaning into the Spirit with wisdom, humility, and love.

  • The Fear of the Lord

    The Fear of the Lord

    · STUDIO

    This past weekend with Danny Silk was so great! We learned that Fear is a powerful force, shaping what we worship and how we live. But the Fear of the Lord is not about punishment, intimidation, or mere survival—it is the beginning of wisdom. Every other fear leads to foolishness. When we fear rejection, we chase approval; when we fear failure, we grasp for control. But the Fear of the Lord keeps us from idolatry, drawing us into deeper connection with Him rather than leading us to self-preservation.

    Shame often tells us we are unlovable, but God calls us to trust in Him rather than in the illusions fear creates. We cannot walk in wisdom if we are ruled by the fear of man, failure, or insignificance. Instead, wisdom comes when we fear being disconnected from God and allow His correction to shape us. The path to wisdom is not found in avoiding pain or seeking approval but in surrendering to His truth and presence.

    So, what do you fear? And where is it leading you? The only response to the Fear of the Lord is to pursue reconnection with Him. Let’s allow wisdom to lead us back to His presence, where true security and belonging are found.

    The Spirit Pt. 4 - "You Were Made to Hear His Voice"

    · STUDIO

    This past Sunday we continued our Spirit series as Pastor Rheva encouraged us through her talk on the gift of prophecy. This is a gift that we believe is still alive and active today.

    All believers are designed to hear God's voice and have access to this gift as part of their relationship with Him. The talk seeks to demystify prophecy, explaining that it is not about titles or dramatic proclamations but about communicating God's message in a way that builds up and encourages others. Prophecy is not restricted to certain personalities or statuses—it is for all believers. In this talk, there is a call for believers to embrace and develop their prophetic gifts, using them to serve both the church and the broader community in humility, wisdom, and love.

    When we receive prophetic words, the bible tells us that we are to test them (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21) and the questions below were provided to help us test and process what has been given to us.

    Does it agree with Scripture?Is it consistent with the character and nature of God?Does this resonate with me?How do family, friends, and leaders who love me feel about the word?Do I trust the source? Does this person have any reason to control or manipulate me? Would this person receive any personal benefit from my following this prophetic word?Does it glorify God and draw me close to Jesus?Does my trusted community believe this word or parts of it reflect what God is speaking to me right now?

  • The Spirit Pt. 3 -

    The Spirit Pt. 3 - "The Purpose of Gifts"

    · STUDIO

    As we reach the halfway point in our “SPIRIT” series, our hope is to approach the gifts of the Spirit with openness, allowing room for growth, rather than rigid definitions. For over 2,000 years, the church has been discovering the depth of the Spirit’s work and our journey should be marked by both curiosity and surrender.

    Different Christian traditions emphasize various aspects of the Spirit’s work and labels like "Spirit-filled" can be misleading. Paul highlights the Spirit’s role in redemption and new life, while Luke focuses on empowerment and miracles. Rather than viewing these as opposing perspectives, we should embrace the richness they offer, recognizing the Spirit’s diverse and dynamic activity.

    Whether one sees the gifts as fixed lists or open-ended expressions, scripture makes it clear that they exist to equip believers for God’s mission. From prophecy and healing, to teaching and acts of service, these gifts build up the body of Christ. Regardless of one’s stance on their continuation, the call remains the same: to seek the Spirit’s work with openness, avoiding theological rigidity and embracing all that God desires to do in and through us.

  • The Spirit Pt. 2 -

    The Spirit Pt. 2 - "Why, What, & How"

    · STUDIO

    This past Sunday Pastor Eric did part 2 to our “Spirit” series. He emphasized the Holy Spirit is not just a force but a divine Person—fully God and active in our lives. He teaches, guides, convicts, and empowers us, both in our spiritual growth and in fulfilling God’s mission. From the Old Testament to Pentecost and beyond, His presence has been vital in God’s plan for His people. Understanding His role helps us walk in greater faith, power, and obedience.

    Beyond His indwelling at salvation, the Holy Spirit also empowers believers in extraordinary ways. Scripture speaks of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a supernatural equipping for ministry and service. While different theological perspectives exist, one truth remains: every believer is called to be filled with the Spirit continually (Ephesians 5:18). This filling transforms our character (Galatians 5:22-23), strengthens our faith, and enables us to follow God’s leading with clarity and confidence. It’s not about labels or divisions but about living a life fully surrendered to God’s power and presence.

    As we continue to seek a deeper relationship with God, let’s remain open to the Holy Spirit’s leading—through faith, prayer, surrender, and obedience. Whether through gifts, guidance, or boldness in our witness, He is working in and through us. We encourage you to reflect on how the Spirit is moving in your life and seek His filling daily.

  • The Spirit Pt. 1 -

    The Spirit Pt. 1 - "The Dwelling Place"

    · STUDIO

    This Sunday, Pastor Candace shared her talk entitled, "The Dwelling Place".

    There are callings that we long to step into, people we long to be, and things that we’ve been praying for, to come to pass. A key part of us growing into all of this is being full of the Spirit of God, growing our understanding of God’s heart for us, and learning to walk with Him.

    From the garden to the grave, God’s heart was always to be with us, and it’s important for us to understand the context for Him putting His Spirit in us. In the new testament Jesus steps on the human scene and is the fulfillment of what was prophesied. He paid the ultimate price of giving His life to reconcile us to God. INCREDIBLE!

    In all His extravagant love, He didn’t stop by just coming to be with us (Immanuel), but He also came to dwell in us!

    Where we choose to live is a big thing. We get to choose what our favorite location is for our house (if we love living by the ocean or in the mountains). We all have ideas of what our dream home looks like.

    The most lovely and humbling thing is that the God of all the universe who can make His home anywhere, loves us so much that He chooses us to reside and dwell in us. This love and desire is the foundation of us having His Spirit inside of us.

    Jesus speaks of this in John 14:15-17 NIV

    “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

    We were God’s dream dwelling place and where He wants His Spirit to reside

    It Starts With Us || Episode Reissue

    · STUDIO

    In this episode reissue, Candace shared the final part in our series, “Strong Faith, Contagious Hope, and Enduring Love”. She spoke to the role that we all play in elevating those around us and contributing into the spaces where we live. God never meant for blessings to stop with us, but that we are to be salt and light wherever we go. In Proverbs 11:10-11 it says,

    When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.

    As we think about and pray for our city, let’s ask ourselves:

    1. What do I have to GIVE?

    2. What can CONTRIBUTE?

    3. What can I SACRIFICE?

    We live in an incredible area that is in the middle of it’s story right now. Let’s love our city well by being people who are willing to take responsibility, contribute, and are willing to sacrifice for those around them.

    We pray for our city, the people who live here, the land, and for wisdom and guidance as leaders establish vision, culture and values here.

    May you be blessed and prosper so that those around you experience the blessing and are lifted up!

    On Sunday, Pastor Eric set the tone and posture as we step into this New Year with his talk entitled,“All we do is Win”. Romans 15:13 says,"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

    Joy, Peace, and Hope are the beautiful words in this passage. Paul makes a strong connection showing that they come from the power of the Holy Spirit. Have you noticed these three words are often so difficult to keep and sustain in your life? He encouraged us to take a look within to see if the joy, peace, and hope is made by us or did it come from the Holy Spirit.

    Oftentimes, we create controlled environments thinking this is how we experience peace, joy, and hope in our lives. Yet despite our best efforts, it can’t be sustained. However, there is a peace, joy, and hope that comes from God. It can enable you to sleep in storms, feed thousands, where you can be in the thick of chaos, lack, confusion and still have peace, joy, and hope. This kind, comes directly from Him, and because He won

    This week, Pastor Shayna moved us deeply with a talk that centered around the gift of Jesus coming to humanity to restore and redeem what was lost. In light of this, she shared with us the power of grace and gratitude. One of them depends on me and the other is a gift. Grace, we know, is a gift from God. Gratitude is a choice we get to make. It is a posture that life owes me nothing.

    As we celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus, let’s be people who walk in deep gratitude regardless of what is happening around us. This is the way for followers of Jesus to continually draw our attention to the story of Jesus’ birth and to place our attention on who He is to us.

    Live Above the Noise pt.7 - "To Submit or Not to Submit"

    · STUDIO

    This past Sunday, Pastor Eric did a talk titled "To Submit or Not to Submit". The talk was designed to create a conversation and invite people into looking deeper at this passage of scripture, Ephesians 5:15-33. More specifically, the usage of the word “submit”, in relationships between people and between husband and wife.

    What’s important to note is by the time we read Ephesians 5, Paul has laid a foundation for a new identity where we are loved, accepted, and we are His sons and daughters. This new identity moves us closer to how God views and interacts with humanity and relationships. The driving narrative of this new identity is God’s Love. This is vital to grasp as it sets the stage for what Paul's and God's intent is for what “submission” looks like in our lives.

    So the question now emerges, what is Paul’s intent with the word “submit”? What does it mean for submission to happen in a marriage? Make sure you listen to this week’s talk to learn more about this. You might be pleasantly surprised.
