CURRENT SERIES: Regulate: How to Stay Human When Everything's on Fire

Watch this week’s message

When everything’s on fire, how do we respond without just reacting? In a world of constant change where everything - from our kid’s emotions, to data centers, to the midterm elections, and high gas prices - seems to be competing for our attention, maybe we need a few tools to help us regulate. Join us for this five-week series where we look at:

October 11 — The Temperature Is Real: What if the exhaustion you're carrying right now isn't a personal failure, but a normal response to a system built to keep you overheated?
October 18 — What Regulation Actually Is: Is staying calm the same thing as staying quiet?
October 25 — The Enemy Problem: Can you still see the humanity in someone whose vote feels like a threat to everything you love?
November 1 — How to Stay In It: What does it cost to care about something for the long haul, instead of only showing up when it's urgent?
November 8 — What We're Building — How do you move forward after intense disagreement?

We know a lot of people have complicated feelings about church. Maybe you’ve been hurt before. Maybe you have more questions than answers. Maybe you’ve never stepped inside one, or you walked away and aren’t sure why you’d walk back in.

None of that disqualifies you here. We are a radically inclusive community built on the conviction that love comes before everything else. No prerequisites, no performance required.

We’ve been waiting for you
