Formation Stagnation | Menlo Park Campus | Mark Swarner

When we feel stuck, we often try to fix it with change. We try things like a new schedule, new job, or new major in school, but what about our faith? Together, we can learn to find the growth we were always meant to experience as we explore a common reason we get stuck and a common way out.

Seasons: Winter | Phil EuBank

The days get shorter but feel longer; eventually, in the winters of our lives, we can learn unhealthy detachment from healthy rhythms with God and others and turn to unhealthy coping strategies that only perpetuate the problem. Learning to live in Winter may require some counterintuitive steps, but they are worth the work.

Seasons: Fall | Phil EuBank

Fall can often catch us off guard, leaving us wondering where the time went. It’s not always easy to point out what changed in our inner world, but things feel cooler. During this season, our connection with God and others may start to feel distant, and though we may try to put on a facade, reality eventually sets in. Navigating through fall and finding growth within it requires us to explore what happened and what God can do inside of us because of it.

Seasons: Summer | Phil EuBank

After the challenging years we've had, it might seem like positivity is often just a disguise for insincerity and negativity. But even when things are going well, we can still find joy in every little thing. Today, we'll explore a Psalm that helps us see life from that perspective. It reminds us to cherish the joyful moments and find the rest we need for the times ahead.
