It's Not Just You: Women & Sexuality
(Women Only, 1st Session Only)
With Ashley Chestnut
How does the gospel offer hope and help to those entrenched in sexual sin? How do we deal with guilt and shame because of sin?

Living Out Your God-Given Purpose in the Workplace
Ryan Nutter
If you work 40 hours per week for the next 40 years of your life, you’ll have spent 80,000 hours working in your vocation. During your working years—the companies you build, the employees you work with, the customers you serve, the shareholders you report to—all of this serves as an active part of what God wants to accomplish on earth. We need to understand how our work ties in with God’s calling and purpose for the world… So let’s talk about it!
