			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes the moments that change everything don’t look dramatic at first. They look like waiting. Like disappointment. Like doors that stay closed far longer than they should. In the middle of Joseph’s story, just when it feels like nothing will ever change, something unexpected happens—and it reveals how God prepares people long before the moment arrives. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This message explores the quiet work God does in the seasons we would never choose. If you’ve ever wondered whether the waiting in your life has a purpose—or whether anything good could come from it—this conversation might help you see your story in a new light.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>The Good News About Waiting</title>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Life rarely moves in a straight line. One moment you feel certain about where you’re headed, and the next you’re holding on through twists you never expected—waiting, wondering, and asking God what He’s doing in the middle of it all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joseph knew that ride well. Between the promise God gave him and the life he was living stretched years of setbacks, silence, and circumstances that made no sense. The question his story leaves us with is simple and unsettling: what would someone in your exact situation do if they were absolutely confident God was with them?&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Ever feel like you're failing because life didn’t go according to plan? This Sunday, we’re looking at Joseph in Genesis 39; a guy sold into slavery, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison. But the text keeps saying one thing: “The Lord was with him.” Not “The Lord fixed everything,” just “He was there.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’ll talk about how real success isn’t about rising to the top, but staying faithful when you’re stuck at the bottom. How do you keep going when no one sees you? When your purpose feels delayed? We’ll walk through how God shapes us in the hidden years, and why faithfulness in the dark still counts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re in a season of waiting, disappointment, or just trying to do the right thing when it costs you — this one’s for you.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;When life doesn’t go the way you planned, it can feel like the bottom drops out — the relationship you counted on, the job you thought would last, the dream you assumed was yours. This week we stepped into the opening chapter of Joseph’s story in Genesis 37 — a 17-year-old with big dreams whose life unravels in a moment. Betrayal. A pit. A caravan headed toward Egypt. And through all of it, God’s name isn’t mentioned once.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever said, “This is not how my life was supposed to go,” Joseph has been there. And yet his story becomes a doorway into how God works in the very places we can’t see Him yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch the message and let it meet whatever part of your life feels off script right now.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:subtitle>Hope for an Anxious Generation • Week 5</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;So many of us feel the weight of stress in ways we don’t always talk about, and it can be hard to know what to do with it. This week, Pastor Scotty reflects on the opening words of the book of James, inviting us to consider how moments of pressure might shape us rather than simply wear us down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The message explores how our digital habits, our assumptions about struggle, and the stories we tell ourselves can all pull us into defense mode—or open us to a different kind of strength. If you’ve been walking through a season that feels heavy, this message offers a thoughtful, hopeful way to approach it.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:subtitle>Hope for an Anxious Generation • Week 4</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;So many people are carrying more worry than their bodies were ever meant to hold. We push through the day, pretend we’re fine, and try to manage the noise inside with our own strength — until something finally signals we can’t keep this up. This week, we’re talking about what that signal actually means, and why the ancient story of a king named Jehoshaphat might be the most relatable picture of modern anxiety you’ve never heard. If you’ve ever whispered “I don’t know what to do,” this message is meant for you.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;We live in a world that keeps promising connection… yet so many of us feel more unseen, more isolated, and more anxious than ever.

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In a time when our lives feels increasingly upside down, our screens promise connection but quietly shape our anxiety.

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;As a new year begins, most of us feel the tension of wanting life to grow in a better direction—without quite knowing how. We’re busy, stretched, distracted, and often carrying more than we realize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this message, we explore an ancient idea with surprising relevance: a "rule of life"—the rhythms, habits, and practices that quietly shape who we’re becoming. Through three vivid images—a monastery, a vineyard, and an invitation from Jesus—we’re invited to consider how real fruitfulness doesn’t come from trying harder, but from staying connected and being formed over time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesus’ promise is simple and startling: rest for your soul. This message is an invitation to slow down, remain connected to him, and thoughtfully shape the patterns of your everyday life so that growth happens naturally—from the inside out. Whether you’re feeling weary, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this is a moment to pause and ask: What is forming me—and where is it leading?&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;After the lights come down and the routines return, many of us are left with the same quiet question: Is that it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this message from our Connected series, we sit with the tension that often follows Christmas—the gap between hope we sing about and the reality we wake up to. Through Mary’s encounter in Luke 1, we’re reminded that God doesn’t promise easy outcomes or clear answers. Instead, He offers something deeper: His faithfulness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This message explores how God builds trust when the future feels uncertain—by naming what’s unclear, reminding us of where He’s been faithful before, and anchoring us in a word that does not fail. It’s an invitation to stop carrying the weight alone and to trust the God who is still writing the story.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Christmas often arrives carrying both joy and weight. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Scotty walks through the story of Mary to remind us that Christmas isn’t about having life together—it’s about a God who comes close when we don’t. Through humor, honesty, and the hope of Luke 1, we’re invited to see Christmas as the story of God’s power, promise, and presence meeting us right where we are. And like Mary, we’re invited to consider a simple but life-shaping question: Will I keep doing life my way—or will I say yes to God’s?&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Removing Disgrace</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 4 • Connected</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Most of us live with an inner voice that’s quick to criticize—reminding us of failures, regrets, or the places where life didn’t turn out the way we hoped. Over time, those voices shape how we see ourselves and even how we approach God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this message, we continue in the opening chapter of Luke and the story of Elizabeth, a faithful woman carrying years of disappointment and quiet disgrace. Her story reveals how shame takes hold—not always because of what we’ve done, but sometimes because of what hasn’t happened—and how God meets people right there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we reflect on the birth of Jesus, we’re reminded that Christmas is not about perfection or having it all together. It’s about a God who enters human weakness, lifts shame, and restores dignity. Through Jesus, disgrace does not get the final word—grace does.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>How Doubt Can Lead To Faith</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 3 • Connected</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What do you do when your faith is full of questions?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many people, doubt feels like a dead end—something to hide, suppress, or fix. But what if doubt isn’t a barrier to God at all? What if it’s a bridge?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Continuing our series "Connected," this message from Luke 1 takes a look at the story of Zechariah—a faithful man who still wrestled with uncertainty—and we discover how God meets us not after our doubts are resolved, but right in the middle of them. This teaching explores why certainty is elusive for all of us, how faith actually grows through seasons of silence, and what it looks like to bring honest questions to God without fear or shame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re confident in your faith, quietly questioning, or somewhere in between, this message offers a hopeful and grounded invitation: your doubts don’t disqualify you—they may be the very place God wants to meet you.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Turn Your Heart</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 2 • Connected</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;This week in Connected, we step back into the very first story Luke tells in the Christmas narrative—not with Mary or Joseph, but with a quiet, faithful couple carrying decades of disappointment. And into that pain, God sends a promise through their son, John: to turn hearts back—to God, toward one another, and toward wisdom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Pastor Scotty unpacks the passage, we look honestly at the places where our own hearts have drifted this season: toward stress, toward screens, toward old hurts, or just toward getting through. And we discover the good news that God begins His reconnection story not out in the world somewhere, but right at home—in the relationships closest to us, and in the places where hope feels tired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This message invites all of us, whether we’re in a season of joy or carrying something heavy, to consider one simple question: Which way is your heart turned right now? And how might God be inviting you to turn back—toward Him, toward someone you love, and toward the wisdom that can soften what life has hardened.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>What Are You Passing On?</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 1 • Connected</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Most of us won’t say it out loud, but it’s there: that sense of distance, even when life looks full. That quiet ache that whispers, Why can’t I feel close to God right now?—and just as often, Why do I feel so far from the people in my life? In Luke 1, we see that the story of Jesus didn’t drift through history as rumor. It was intentionally handed down so every generation could know—right in the middle of doubt, noise, and relational strain—that God is truly near.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This message asks what we’re handing down in the everyday moments of our lives. Through our words, our habits, our generosity, and our presence, people around us receive something from us—hope or hurry, faith or fear, connection or distance. As Advent begins, we’re invited to choose differently: to pass on the story of Jesus in a way that restores connection with God and with each other, starting with our own lives.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What if the one thing you’re missing isn’t more strength, more clarity, or more control… but a deeper confidence that Jesus is actually alive right now? Acts 5 shows us a community that couldn’t be stopped—not because they were impressive, but because the risen Christ was with them, empowering ordinary people to live with extraordinary courage, unity, and hope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Sunday, we’ll explore why the resurrection was the center of the early church’s faith, why it still changes everything today, and how the living Jesus meets us in the real places we’re weary, uncertain, or holding on too tightly. Together, we’ll learn to search our hearts, surrender what’s keeping us stuck, step out in faith, and set our gaze on the One who goes with us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever wondered where to find steady hope in an unsteady world, this message is for you—because He lives, and that changes everything.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:subtitle>Week 11 • Unstoppable</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;We all fake it sometimes. A little image-management here, a little hiding there—just enough to look put-together on the outside, even when something’s breaking on the inside. But in Acts 5, we meet a couple whose decision to pretend becomes the most sobering moment in the early church. Not because they sinned, but because they hid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this week’s message, Pastor Scotty Scruggs walks us through the story of Ananias and Sapphira and shows why the greatest threat to our spiritual lives isn’t what's “out there”—it’s what we keep in the dark. You’ll learn why honesty is the doorway to healing, why God takes secrecy so seriously, and the three choices that move us from managing our image to actually being transformed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever felt pressure to look more spiritual than you are, if you’ve ever carried a secret hoping no one will notice, or if you’re tired of pretending and just want to breathe again—this message is for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Welcome to a church where everybody’s welcome, nobody’s perfect, and anything’s possible.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Unstoppable Generosity</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 10 • Unstoppable</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Eugene Cho</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What keeps us from living open-handed lives? In a culture obsessed with accumulation, Jesus tells a story that cuts straight to the heart of our fears about money, security, and control. This Sunday, guest speaker Eugene Cho continues our Unstoppable series by exploring how generosity isn’t about how much we have—it’s about what has us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through Acts 4 and the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12, we’ll uncover the subtle barriers that keep us from the kind of unity and freedom the early church experienced. Because when we stop clinging to “mine,” we start to see what’s truly ours in Christ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us as we discover the joy that comes when we loosen our grip and let God’s love move through our hands.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Pastor Scotty continues Unstoppable—the story of how the early church went from unlikely to unstoppable—with a simple question: What was the very first miracle of the church?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were plenty of miraculous moments at the start: the Holy Spirit descending in tongues of fire, people speaking in new languages, thousands coming to faith, even the ground shaking as believers prayed for boldness. But the very first miracle wasn’t any of those.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It wasn’t loud or dramatic. It was this: all the believers were of one heart and one mind. For the first time in history, God’s people were completely united.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a world built on division, this week we’ll explore how that same miracle—unity of heart and spirit—can still transform the Church today.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>When You Face Opposition</title>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Ever feel like life keeps pushing against you? Like no matter how hard you try, the current is always stronger? Sometimes it’s just small stuff—the traffic, the deadlines, the misunderstandings. But other times, it’s deeper. It’s resistance that shakes your confidence, tests your faith, and makes you wonder if it’s even worth it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; This Sunday, Pastor Scotty continues our Unstoppable series by showing how the early church faced real opposition—political systems, cultural rejection, even violence—and yet somehow, it only made them stronger. They didn’t just survive; they grew into a movement that changed the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; So how did they do it? And what can we learn when our own faith feels like it’s swimming upstream?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Join us as we discover how every obstacle can become an opening for God’s power to move through us. Because Jesus faced every kind of opposition—and still overcame. That same unstoppable Spirit is alive in us today.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;We all live in a world we can see—work schedules, doctor’s visits, the everyday grind. But what if there’s a reality we can’t see that’s just as real, pressing to break through into ours?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s what we see in Acts 3, where a man who had never walked suddenly stands to his feet. Not because of luck or strength, but because the power of Jesus reached into his story and changed it forever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this week’s message from our Unstoppable series, Pastor Scotty reminds us that God’s power still moves in unseen ways. Healing isn’t just something He did long ago—it’s something He still does today. And when we live with faith and expectation, we become the beautiful gates through which His love and power flow into the world.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>What Happens When We Don't Pray</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 3 • Unstoppable</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Most of us know the feeling—life gets complicated, messy, overwhelming. Prayer slips down the list, crowded out by the next urgent thing. At first, it feels small. But over time, the absence of prayer leaves cracks in our souls. We grow weary. We get numb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this message Pastor Scotty unpacks the hidden cost of a prayerless life, and why prayer was never just a side practice for the early church—it was the source of their strength and the reason the gospel spread.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The same is true today. Without prayer, faith withers. With prayer, lives are renewed and hope takes root. Join us as we rediscover the good news that prayer has never lost its power—and it’s never been out of reach.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>God Wants Your Questions</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 8 • That's A Promise</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word deconstruction? Negativity? Loss? It’s a popular word, if not a polarizing one. We can think of it as the process people go through when turning away from their faith, but it can be used in different ways. Deconstruction at its worst can be tearing things down without feeling the need to discover. But deconstruction can be healthy when people going through it have the courage to ask the really hard question of what and why do I believe in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wolfgang ends our series, “That’s a Promise,” with the reassurance that God wants to hear our questions, even the really hard ones. Because wrestling with our faith doesn’t make us bad Christians—it’s the opposite. It makes us normal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us as we talk about what it’s like to have the courage to honestly ask questions and wrestle with what’s real and what’s true. The goal isn’t simply to destroy, it’s to discover, or re-discover what’s authentic within your faith.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Some truths sound backward until you live them. This week, Scotty Scruggs explores one of Jesus’ boldest promises: When you give first, what you need will be given to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s the paradox of generosity—where letting go leads to abundance, and giving opens the door to joy you can’t buy. In this week’s message from our series "That’s a Promise," you’ll hear how this upside-down way of living can reshape your relationship with money, purpose, and trust in God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re navigating career decisions, raising a family, or searching for meaning beyond the next purchase, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about security… and invite you to experience the life God promises.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;If you've ever walked through tragedy or heartbreak and been told “God works all things for good”—and it didn’t feel like enough—you’re not alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This week, Steven Bolt unpacks one of the most quoted (and most misunderstood) promises in the Bible: “In all things God works for the good of those who love him.” (Romans 8:28) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This isn’t a feel-good platitude for coffee mugs. It’s a hard-won truth for real life—a promise that God is present, active, and redeeming even when we can’t see it yet. Come wrestle. Come rejoice. And maybe discover that what feels like the end might just be a new beginning.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What if the one thing you believed disqualified you from God's love... was the very thing He ran to meet you in?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether you’ve wandered far or worked hard to stay close, there’s a part of us all that wonders: Am I really still worthy of love?

A love that doesn’t wait for you to get it all right. A love that comes running.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch now and rediscover the promise at the center of every other promise: God loves you—no matter what.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Chad Hoffman</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;The world keeps handing us promises—of success, happiness, security—but they almost always come with a catch. And when they finally break (because they do), we’re the ones left picking up the pieces, battling fear, anxiety, and wondering where to turn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This week, Pastor Chad is opening up a conversation we all need. What do we do when life drops us into the valley—when we’re desperate for something solid to hold onto? Do we keep reaching for the same promises that let us down time and time again, or is there a different kind of promise waiting for us?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Come discover why you don’t have to walk through any valley alone. This is a message about presence, hope, and a promise that’s actually worth trusting—no matter where you find yourself right now.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Ever feel like a half-finished project—stuck, messy, or not where you thought you’d be by now? In this message, we explore one of the most hope-filled promises in Scripture: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wolfgang unpacks why this promise matters for every work-in-progress moment of your life. From stories of unfortunate life choices to glimpses of God’s creative power in galaxies and mountains, you’ll see how the God who shaped the universe is still shaping you. Discover how justification, sanctification, and the ultimate promise of glorification give us confidence that our lives—and this world—are headed somewhere good, even when we can’t see it yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listen in and be encouraged to take your next step, trusting that God never abandons what He starts.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Side by Side, Part 4</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 4 • Side by Side</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In the final week of Side by Side, Pastor Scotty brings the conversation back to where so much of Jesus’ ministry happened—around a table. With humility and biblical depth, he unpacks why Northshore’s Overseers believe that men and women are called to lead side by side—not in reaction to culture, but in response to God’s original design and Jesus’ redemptive work. It’s a vision rooted in mutuality, shared authority, and the belief that spiritual leadership should reflect the full image of God in both men and women.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this message is about more than leadership. It’s about what makes us a family. Because while disciples are formed by listening to Jesus, we become a family by eating with Him. Around that table, we learn to stay together through disagreement, to love across difference, and to embody a kind of unity the world desperately needs to see.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

Last week, we looked at what God says about the roles of women, and this week Pastor Scotty walks us through how men and women aren’t in conflict with each other, but are equally called to serve and honor God and point people to the gospel of Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God’s vision isn’t about pitting men and women against each other to see who holds ultimate authority — it’s about equality, mutuality, suitability, and intimacy between them. So stay curious, and if you missed Parts 1 or 2, make sure to go back and watch—they lay the foundation for the conversation we’re building week by week.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

Starting in Genesis and tracing through Paul’s letters, Pastor Scotty walks us through a clear and thoughtful exploration of God’s design for leadership in the church.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What we find isn’t just equality in personhood—it’s mutuality in calling, authority, and responsibility. So lean in and stay curious. And if you missed Part 1, make sure to go back and watch—it sets the foundation for the conversation we’re building week by week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>True Disciples</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 5 • When Christians Get It Wrong</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Is there a deeper difference between simply calling yourself a Christian and truly following Jesus? What does it mean to live a life devoted to learning and practicing the way of Jesus—to love sacrificially, serve humbly, and pursue righteousness—rather than settling for the comfort of a religious label? Jesus Himself challenged those who claimed His name but didn’t embody His teachings, warning that not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven. So what does He think of those who wear the title of "Christian" but ignore His call to live differently?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this sermon, Wolfgang concludes our powerful series, When Christians Get It Wrong by diving into Jesus' closing words in His revolutionary Sermon on the Mount. Last week, we explored His stark warnings about false prophets, but now we turn to an even more urgent question: How can we recognize—and avoid becoming—false followers? Jesus doesn’t just want admirers; He demands disciples who build their lives on His words and put them into practice. Join us as we wrestle with what it truly means to follow Him.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>When Leaders Go Bad</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 4 • When Christians Get It Wrong</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;People can be tough critics of many things in life—including the Church. For good reason. Research and real-life stories point to painful experiences like the absence of authentic community, moral failures, or even abuse within church walls. These wounds have left many disillusioned and betrayed by people who were supposed to reflect Christ. It’s one of the ways Christians have gotten it tragically wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Sunday, Wolfgang continues our series When Christians Get It Wrong – And How To Get It Right, looking at the final section of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. In it, Jesus offers a sobering warning about false prophets—those who look trustworthy on the outside but lead others toward destruction. We’ll learn how to discern the difference between what’s real and what’s counterfeit, and how Jesus equips us to do just that. Because no matter who may have failed you in the past, Jesus never will. His is the only life truly worth following.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;The greatest trick we fall for isn’t always obvious—it’s the quiet exchange of our time, energy, and dreams for things that won’t last. In this week’s message, we continue to dive into Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount, where He warns us to be careful, to watch out for the lies of this world, and to redirect our focus onto what truly matters: the Kingdom of Heaven. What are we chasing, and why does it often leave us feeling empty? This isn’t about guilt or giving up what we love—it’s about uncovering the truth that only God’s eternal promises can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. Join us as we explore how to stop falling for the world’s empty promises and start investing in what lasts forever.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What if your relationship with money is built on lies? In week 2 of “Don’t Fall for It,” we expose four hidden myths that fuel financial anxiety and empty pursuits: the illusion of ownership, the endless chase for “enough,” the delusion that wealth breeds generosity, and the false promise of security. Jesus’ radical teachings in the Sermon on the Mount confront these deceptions head-on, revealing how money distorts our hearts—and how generosity rewires them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From a 6-year-old’s 57 cents that sparked a global legacy to the haunting parable of a man who stored everything but lost his soul, this sermon uncovers why true freedom begins when we stop clinging and start giving. Discover practical steps to break the cycle of “more” and live with open hands in a world obsessed with accumulation.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What does an $850,000 Instagram scam have to do with your daily struggle for approval? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Scotty unpacks how our hunger for validation—whether through likes, accolades, or hiding our flaws—leaves us vulnerable to deception and discontent. Jesus’ warning in Matthew 6:1 (“Be careful not to perform for applause”) becomes a lifeline as we confront modern-day hypocrisy: the pastor who craves sermon claps, the parent obsessed with “perfect” kids, and you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You’ll walk away with two game-changing phrases: “I don’t care what you think” and “I deeply care what God thinks.” Learn how anonymous generosity, embracing an “audience of One,” and surrendering your need for recognition can unshackle your soul. Through real stories and biblical truth, discover why God’s approval—proven on the cross—is the only validation that never fades. Stop performing. Start living. Your freedom begins here.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Free From Spin</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 6 • Change of Heart</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In a world filled with half-truths and spin, this sermon explores humanity’s universal struggle with lying—from toddlers fibbing about snacks to adults bending truths daily. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:33-37, the message challenges us to let our “Yes be Yes” and “No be No,” calling us to radical honesty. It’s not about avoiding oaths but dismantling the heart’s tendency to manipulate, exaggerate, and hide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sermon exposes how even subtle lies—in relationships, social media, or casual promises—erode trust and distance us from God’s design for integrity. Jesus invites us into a countercultural way of life where words align with reality, and authenticity replaces image management. True freedom comes from hearts transformed by grace, not polished performances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Closing with hope, the message reminds us that honesty begins with embracing our identity as beloved children of God. His forgiveness covers our failures, and His Spirit empowers us to live truthfully—even when it’s hard. Tune in to rediscover the liberating power of a life rooted in radical truth.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Kiki Edwards</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Ever held onto a lie that shaped how you love, forgive, or see yourself? In this sermon from our series "Change of Heart," Pastor Kiki shares raw stories to unpack how Jesus flips the script on revenge, bitterness, and the lies we cling to.

Through Jesus’ shocking teachings in Matthew 5 (“Turn the other cheek,” “Love your enemies”), Kiki reveals how to break cycles of hurt and step into a life marked by peace, not payback. Think it’s impossible? You’re not alone—but what if grace could change everything?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for a conversation that’s equal parts challenging and hopeful. Whether you’re wrestling with old pain, stuck in unforgiveness, or just curious about Jesus’ upside-down way of living, this series will give you practical steps to trade lies for truth—and finally breathe free.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Let’s get real. Sexuality and desire are part of our humanity, yet many of us carry hidden pain, shame, or silent battles—especially in a world (and even church) where it’s easier to pretend than to bring our struggles into the light. But here’s the truth: God isn’t embarrassed by your story, and neither are we.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesus reminds us that desire itself isn’t the enemy—it’s a gift. The danger begins when lies twist that gift into something that isolates and destroys. Pastor Scotty opens up about his own journey, revealing how Jesus breaks the grip of lust with grace and truth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This isn’t about condemnation. It’s about freedom. No matter where you’ve been, there is hope. Jesus doesn’t just forgive; He heals. He doesn’t just call us out; He calls us beloved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You’re not alone. You’re not stuck. And you don’t have to hide. This is a safe place to heal, to find hope, and to take the next step toward freedom.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Beyond Anger Management</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 2 • Change of Heart</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Not all anger is wrong—Jesus Himself expressed righteous anger at injustice and sin. But while anger can be a natural and even necessary response to wrongdoing, it can also take root in unhealthy ways—turning into resentment, contempt, or bitterness. In this message, we’ll explore Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, where He calls us to look beyond surface-level behavior and examine what’s growing in our hearts. Anger, like bad fruit, often stems from deeper roots of pride, hurt, or unmet desires, and Jesus invites us to address the source rather than just manage the symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through four practical steps—stop, go back to the person, lead with kindness, and stay humble—we’ll discover how to handle anger in a way that honors God. This isn’t about suppressing our emotions but surrendering them to Christ, allowing His grace to transform us. Whether you wrestle with grudges, passive aggression, or a sense of justice that burns hot, there’s a better way forward. Join us as we learn to let anger serve its right purpose without letting it take over our hearts.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

From the moments after Christmas to the threshold of a new year, we wrestle with what’s next. In Matthew 2, we find Jesus, Mary, and Joseph navigating their own in-between, fleeing danger and seeking refuge in Egypt. What can their journey teach us about God’s faithfulness in our waiting?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us as we continue our You're Invited series and explore how God works behind the scenes, meets us in our waiting, and reminds us that we are never alone.

			<title>Christmas Eve 2024</title>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Beneath the joy and lights of the Christmas season, often we can still feel tired, burdened, and searching for something—or Someone—to put our hope in. In the Christmas story, there’s a phrase that echoes more than any other, one that resonates throughout the Bible: Do not be afraid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a message for all of us who wrestle with the “what if’s” of life—our doubts, our fears, and our unanswered questions. And it’s not a new struggle. Over 2,000 years ago, when Christ was born, people were asking those same “what if’s.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Christmas reminds us of a profound truth: Hope has a name. His name is Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Christmas Eve, let’s rediscover a hope that can turn our “what if’s” into even if’s. Even if we face hardships, even if the world feels uncertain, even if we don’t have all the answers—we have a reason to hope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a world gripped by fear, the good news of Christmas is this: God is with us—and because of Him, we don’t have to be afraid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Over the past nine weeks, we’ve been journeying through the Beatitudes—those beautiful blessings Jesus shared in His Sermon on the Mount. This Sunday, as we wrap up our series Upside Down: The Secret to the Good Life, Pastor Scotty takes us deeper into a truth that’s not another beatitude, but just as profound. It’s about how Jesus sees His followers, how He sees you—as salt and light in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesus calls us salt, not just to say we add something good to the world, but to remind us that we sustain it, preserving and bringing life where it’s needed most. And when He calls us light, it’s not just a metaphor; it’s a declaration. In a world often stumbling in the dark, we reflect His light, guiding others toward hope, love, and the way of Christ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No matter where you find yourself right now—whether life feels overwhelming or steady—this truth stands firm: you are salt, and you are light. Join us as we uncover what that means for you and the world around you.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>The Blessing in the Battle</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 8 • Upside Down</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;For eight weeks, we've explored Jesus' vision of the "good life" in the Beatitudes, flipping the world's expectations upside down. This week, we conclude the Beatitudes with the most unexpected blessing: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a culture that values comfort, power, and approval, Jesus offers a countercultural truth—true blessing comes not from avoiding opposition but from standing firm in faith, even when it costs us. We'll uncover how persecution is an inevitable part of discipleship, the eternal rewards it brings, and how Jesus' ultimate victory gives us courage to endure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Explore the paradox of finding joy in the midst of struggle and discover what it means to live the truly "blessed" life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:subtitle>Week 7 • Upside Down</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In this week’s message from our Upside Down series, we’re diving into Jesus’ call to be peacemakers. Often misunderstood, peace is more than quiet or the absence of conflict; it's the transformative concept of "shalom" — a state where everything is as it should be. As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, we explore what it means to embody shalom in a world desperate for restoration. Join us as we discuss the true meaning of Jesus’ words and how the secret to the good life is not just to be church-goers but active bringers of peace, in whatever place God has called us to serve.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>How to See God</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 6 • Upside Down</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever wondered what it means to truly see God? In this message, we explore Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” This promise invites us into something deeper than just spiritual insight; it’s an invitation to approach God sincerely, without hiding our flaws, doubts, or fears.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through stories, scripture, and real-life reflections, we examine the nature of a “pure heart”—not as perfection, but as a heart made whole through Jesus. We’ll see how God’s love frees us to drop our defenses, letting go of the masks we wear and the secrets we keep. Join us as we uncover the beauty of seeing and knowing God, not through our striving, but by simply being in His presence.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Mercy Rule</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 5 • Upside Down</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;This week in our series Upside Down: The Secret to the Good Life, Pastor Wolfgang invites us to rethink mercy—not as something we reserve for the moments that feel easy, but as a way of life that transforms everything. Mercy is a piece of saying “Yes” to Jesus in every part of our lives, responding to others with the same boundless grace and compassion He’s shown to us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a world quick to cancel, divide, and hold grudges, Jesus offers us an upside-down way forward. He calls us to live in the freedom of mercy—a mercy that extends beyond our comfort zones, beyond our likes or dislikes, and reaches the hearts of others just as it reaches ours. Join us as we explore how saying “Yes” to Jesus through mercy invites us to live the life we’ve always longed for: full of love, compassion, and true connection with God and others.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Pastor Scotty continues our series, Upside Down: The Secret to the Good Life, by asking, "What are you hungry for?"

			<itunes:author>Kiki Edwards</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;As we continue our Upside Down: The Secret to the Good Life series, Pastor Kiki will take us into an unforgettable experience from her visit to a San Quentin prison. You wouldn’t expect to find freedom behind bars, but that’s exactly what she saw—men living with a sense of peace and hope, despite their circumstances. How can that be? It’s because they surrendered their lives to Jesus, discovering a freedom that isn’t about control but about trust. This week, we’ll dive into what it means to live with that same kind of freedom through something Jesus calls meekness. It’s a countercultural strength that He says will help us inherit the earth. You won’t want to miss it.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;This week, as we kick off our new series, Upside Down: The Secret to the Good Life, Pastor Scotty dives into the opening of the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus’ revolutionary answer to the question, “Who’s truly living the dream?” Society often tells us that success, status, or rule-following define the blessed life. But Jesus turns these assumptions upside down, revealing that those who seem spiritually or materially empty—those poor in spirit—are actually the ones truly blessed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us as we explore what it means to live in the kingdom of God, where His blessings are not earned by effort but freely given to those who acknowledge their deep need for Him. Uncover how Jesus invites the least, the last, and the lost to experience the good life, right where they are.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

In this story, Jesus paints a picture of how we all build our lives and face storms along the way. The choices we make and the foundations we lay will shape what happens next in our journey.

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Pastor Stan Markowski shines a light on the less-celebrated aspects of the Christmas story, portraying Jesus' birth as a narrative filled with shame and societal stigma. Looking at the cultural context, the sermon challenges the conventional perception of a joyous and idyllic nativity scene, bringing recognition to the pain and difficulties woven into the Christmas narrative. Ultimately, the message emphasizes the profound empathy of a God who chose to enter the world in a way that's familiar for anyone experiencing hardship and loss durning the holiday season.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Even When You Can't See It...God is Working</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 1  • The Book of Esther</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Where is God? I’m looking, but I can’t see Him. I’m believing, but I can’t feel Him. What do we do when we can’t see God at work? These are questions we have in our lives that happen to be some of the tensions that is at the heart of the book of Esther. In fact, Esther is the only book in the Bible where God's name is mentioned in the text. But that doesn’t mean that God is absent in this story, or yours. It just means that God is working, even when you can’t see it. &lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Seeking God's Presence</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 5</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;If you could ask God for one thing… just one thing, what would it be? In Psalm 27, David said, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. David is reminding us that the presence of God is better than anything we can ask for. It’s better than having the best job or a nicer home, a better self-esteem, or more popular friends. It’s in the presence of God that we can be fully known and fully loved. That no sin and shame can hold us or bind us. It’s the in the presence of God that we are healed and set free.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What are you chasing? What are you after? These questions aren’t ones that a lot of people stop to think about very often. We just sort of get caught in the routine – day in and day out we just do our thing without really thinking about where it’s taking us. But sometimes something happens that causes us to pause – to reevaluate – to get honest about what our lives are about, what we’re chasing. This week, Pastor Wolfgang challenges us to find a new practice or rhythm that will develop into training our souls and chasing faithfulness.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Living Generously</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 3</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What must I do to inherit eternal life? This week, we look at the story of a deeply devout man with great wealth, but when he asks this question to Jesus, it shows he is clearly missing something in his life. Found in Mark 10:17-22, the story reminds us that living generously isn’t the product of having greater wealth, but rather it's what happens in your heart when you redirect your treasure and start investing in what God values. Pastor Scruggs tell us that this personal, sacrificial and transformational kind of generosity, is something all of us can prioritize in our lives, no matter who we are, or what we have or what’s going on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

This week we look at Luke 10 and the story of Jesus, Mary and Martha. From this scene we can see that all of our “doing” for God is less important than our “being WITH” God.

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Having a community around you during good times is great, having them around you when life gets hard is critical. This week, Pastor Scotty, has us look at why God built the Church around this idea of interdependence and reminded us that we were never meant to do life alone. Scripture tells us that the best relationships around us should be framed with the text in John 15:12-14: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. The Church was created so you could enter into a relationship with God and those around you. The message this week encourages us to take a step towards that today. &lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

Whether you've thought yourself, chances are there are people around you who struggle with not having enough close relationships. The reason? God created you to be in community, not just talk about the weather and sports, but deep, genuine relationships with close friends—the type of relationships where they know everything about you and still want to be around you.

God created you to be in community, not just talk about the weather and sports, but deep, genuine relationships with close friends—the type of relationships where they know everything about you and still want to be around you. Tune in this week as Scotty unpacks the biblical model for friendships and how to start prioritizing it today.</p> ]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Your God is Too Small</title>
			<itunes:subtitle>Week 4</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Many have an unspoken fear—that maybe God isn't big enough. You might go to church and say all the right things, but how you live daily might tell a different story. If you're constantly worrying about the future, chasing after money and status, or trying to control everything, it's like you're saying God can't handle it. But here's the thing: When you find the courage to say, "I can't, but God can," you open a new door. You allow yourself to reconnect with the God who created the universe, the God who's not confined by your doubts or fears. God has worked miracles in the past; will you trust Him to do that for you?&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Prayer is a living conversation with a mighty God. It's more than praying for our meals or calling out to God when we're in need; it's about communion with our Creator. Just like the disciples who yearned to learn the art of prayer, we must also embrace it as a learned practice. When you look at the acts of the disciples, we see that they encountered the Holy Spirit in profound and remarkable ways. But it required practicing the habit of prayer. The same is true for us. If we want to know and experience God intimately, we must embark on the journey of learning to pray.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Scott Scruggs</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What do we do when we face emotional pain? We know how to diagnose a cold or a broken arm, but the pain in our souls is internal and harder to pinpoint. The ambiguity can leave us feeling hopeless and lost. However, God's plan is to give this pain a purpose and that we would find healing through serving others. The miracle is that God can turn one's pain around and use it for good.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>How to Get Stuck in the Wrong Crowd</title>
			<itunes:subtitle/>
			<itunes:author>Stan Markowski</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;The book of Proverbs is kind of like the Bible’s lifehack section. It’s a book of wisdom that we can apply to our lives. So, what does Proverbs have to say about relationships? In this message, not only will we discover the kinds of people we should surround ourselves with, but also how God can use us to be a friend with others.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>How to Wreck Your Life</title>
			<itunes:subtitle/>
			<itunes:author>Jonathan Wolfgang</itunes:author>
			<itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;The book of Proverbs describes two paths, the way of the wise and the way of the fool. The path of the wise is not an easy road to walk, but it leads to a fulfilled life that God intends for us. The foolish path is easy, but the result is a shipwrecked life. As we make wisdom our sole purpose, it can help us avoid the dangers and obstacles threatening to wreck our lives.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
