Men's Retreat

This world does not make it easy to be a good man. What we need are good brothers to help us along the way. Men we can learn from and grow with. Men who've struggled and men who've surrendered to the Holy Spirit working in their lives.

Messiah - Stories of Advent

We have a Messiah who enters into our mess. Messiah: Stories of Advent shares the testimony of several individuals who came to this realization in their lives and encountered God in the midst of the mess of doubt, relationships, and loneliness.

My Encounter

In My Encounter: How I Met Jesus in Prayer, Chika shares her journey of prayer — the highs and lows, the joys and the challenges. Her story will inspire you to dive deeper into prayer, even when it’s difficult, and give you hope, encouraging you to trust in the fact that you are not alone.

Terry Crews Taught Me How to “Man Up” in the Right Way

by Dillon Duke

Being a man means that we put down whatever we feel in order to more adequately serve others, but more importantly, more adequately serve God.

The World Needs Your Heart

by Caitlin Sica

As young women, we can use the gift of our maternity to lead others closer to Christ. Mother Teresa said “not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

Thirsting for Something Greater

by Brody McCurdy

‘I Thirst’ is so much more than Jesus just saying ‘I love you.’ Until you know deep inside that Jesus thirsts for you – you can’t begin to know who He wants to be for you. Or who He wants you to be for Him.
