Waiting Well /// Waiting Well Nov 30, 2025

Show notes

Waiting. None of us like it, though it seems to be an important part of human life. Join us as we explore the spiritual significance of waiting and how it connects us to the greater story of God. Advent is a time to pause and remember the deep longing that preceded the arrival of Jesus the Messiah. We'll unpack the history of the Israelites, who waited thousands of years for deliverance, and discover that waiting is not wasted time but a period where character is formed and trust is deepened. Learn how to "wait well" by actively trusting God, staying connected to community, and surrendering your desire to control outcomes in relationships, work, and finances. Finally, discover how to renew your strength and find hope in Jesus, the promised Savior who understands our struggles and remains with us through every delay Speaker: Angela Beise

Peak Experiences: Part 1 /// Refreshed by God Nov 16, 2025

Even heroes can experience struggles. We're exploring the story of Elijah, a major prophet in the Old Testament that experienced amazing victories. But he also experienced fear, exhaustion, and burnout. Togther, we'll see how God met him with tenderness, rest, and a gentle whisper. We'll discover how unrealistic expectations, isolation, and “soul fatigue” can distort our view of God and ourselves, and how His presence restores us in the silence.

Have you ever made a mistake and feel like you're just swimming in regret? Does it feel like there's nothing you could do that could make things right again? We're looking at a story about King David, where his mistakes lead not just to regret, but to a national crisis. We see how repentance and costly forgiveness in David's story ultimately point to Jesus. Speaker: Greg Holder & Chris Nation

Peak Experiences: Part 1 /// Leaving A Legacy Oct 26, 2025

Show notes

Legacy. Setbacks. Failures. Promises. When we think about our past and our future, it is easy to get lost on a rollercoaster of wishes, regrets, goals, and hopes. We continue our Peak Experiences series at Mount Nebo, where Moses, after leading the Israelites in the desert for decades, looks at his legacy. There is a complicated mixture of joy and grief that serves as a leadership lesson to us all. Join us as we consider what it looks like to trust God with our entire lives, how to overcome challenges, and how to build a lasting legacy. Speaker: Kimberly MacNeill

Peak Experiences: Part 1 /// Nothing Less Oct 19, 2025

Show notes

God promises us His presence and we shouldn't settle for anything less. Join us as we explore a famous story at the foot of Mount Sinai where the Israelites want God to be present with them, but on their own terms. Even today, we are tempted to squeeze God down to something less than Who He fully is, whether we realize it or not. Especially after spiritual victories, we can create "gods of our own making". Learn how to keep "looking up" to the real, untamable God and avoid settling for a cheap, comfortable god of your own creation. Speaker: Ben Horseman

Peak Experiences: Part 1 /// Guardrails of Grace Oct 12, 2025

Show notes

We continue in the Peak Experiences series, this time unpacking the Ten Commandments. Learn how God's laws are not restrictive control but guardrails of grace and love designed to protect and guide people to freedom. We explore how God is establishing a relationship, not just regulation. We'll see how the Law acts as a mirror, revealing our need for grace and pointing us to Jesus, who fulfilled every command so we can draw near to God with confidence. God's way is as the pathway to life and a renewed relationship with Him. Speaker: Will Coleman
