Some of us have ideas about what to do with God or Jesus but "The Holy Spirit"... That’s where things often get a little fuzzy.

This week, we explored why the Spirit isn’t an optional part of the Christian story. From empowerment and reconciliation to hospitality, transformation, and hope, the Spirit has always been at the center of what God is doing in the world.

Most of us have complicated feelings about power.

We’ve seen what happens when people use power to control, protect themselves, build their image, or get what they want. Maybe we’ve been hurt by it. Maybe we’ve participated in it.

This week, we looked at one of Jesus’ final promises: “You will receive power.” But the power of the Spirit turns out to look very different than the power we usually imagine.

What if real power isn’t found in control, but in vulnerability, service, and love?

A lot of us hear the word “judgment” and immediately feel fear.

Like God is angry. Disappointed. Waiting to catch us doing something wrong.

But what if we’ve misunderstood judgment entirely?

This week, we explored the possibility that judgment isn’t about condemnation nearly as much as restoration—that maybe the heart of God has always been to heal, separate us from what harms us, and make things right.

A lot of us imagine heaven as somewhere far away.
Like Jesus finished his work, disappeared into the clouds, and we’re just waiting for him to come back someday.

But what if that’s not the picture at all?

This week, we explored the ascension, the throne, and the strange possibility that heaven is closer than we think—that Jesus is still actively at work, and inviting us to join him in the ordinary moments of everyday life.

What if some of the questions we’ve been asking about faith… aren’t the ones Jesus was trying to answer?

For a lot of us, hell is one of those questions. It’s complicated, uncomfortable, and easy to either avoid or overdefine.

This week, we didn’t try to solve it. We stepped into how Jesus actually talked about it—and what he might have been inviting people to see about their lives right now.

A lot of us think faith is about having the right answers.

But what if the better question is: how do you actually believe?

This week we explored one of the most difficult parts of the Creed—and discovered that faith has never been just about logic or certainty.

If you’ve ever wrestled with belief, this one’s worth your time.
