The Future You started the year asking, ‘who do you want to be?’ Real Relationships gave an honest, unfiltered perspective. We called ourselves to something bigger than ourselves in We the Church. Scripture came alive during 2 Timothy and we hosted some of our favorite people during Book Club. During Pendulum, we looked at paradoxes of faith. In Alive & Free we got serious about killing the things that are killing us and we found freedom! Kingdom Builders allowed us to reflect on the past year and celebrate all that God has done.
what was a moment that impacted you this past year?
Join us for a new series Jan 6 & 7
We all tell a story in our lives. The question is, what type of story do you want to tell? A year from now, will you tell a story about how you almost got serious about knowing God, almost started living on purpose, and almost changed the world? Or will this be the year you get serious and specific about the good plans God has for you? What story will you tell?

In what areas can you say you “fought the good fight, ran the race, and kept the faith?” In what ways did you encounter challenges and fall short in these aspects?
- We don’t get to choose whether or not we face oppositions and trials in life, but we do get to choose whether or not we quit when they come. How would you rate your ability to trust God and persevere when things got hard this year? What’s one area of your life that you’re really proud of yourself for not giving up this year?
