What matters to you most? Often we don't actually put the things that we call our priorities, the "big rocks," first in our lives. Changing our schedules to match what's most important to us takes faith, but it also allows God to work differently in us... and it's worth the risk.

Do you know where to find HAPPINESS? We tend to think that if only our circumstances would change, then we would be happy...but there are stats and stories that prove otherwise! Pastor Nate talks about numerous new cars that he scratched, crashed and smashed and what's learned about TRUE happiness! https://substancechurch.com/

Life is full of moments, you know, the ones that count. The small moments that shape our lives. Pastor Corey preached about the One Moment in our lives where we meet the gardener and all He says is our name. This could be your moment!

Do you have a dream in your heart? Do you have something really worth living for? What about something worth dying for? By ourselves, we're all just a stick of butter. But when we get mixed up with the ingredients that is the people around us, and baked at 450°, that's when dreams really come to life! What dream do you have that needs a new you tomorrow?

Are there struggles unique to our gender? Even since the Garden of Eden, it’s been a game of snakes and ladders. One gender struggles with control, and the other struggles with significance... but which is which will probably surprise you.

What are you holding on to a little too tightly? Sometimes we find it difficult to let go of our own way, and that pushes us away from the people and the God that we need the most. But to live in someone else's house, you've got to let your own way die.

What is it in our lives that we wish would change right now? What we want to happen right now is often a process, but it can be a much shorter process, a 52 day process even, when a leader says, "Yes" and a people say, "Yes". Find out what's possible in just 52 days!

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle...and there's a lot of pieces in our lives that we try to fit where they shouldn't. God probably finds us cute and also frustrating :) If we want to be INVINCIBLE, we need to find our puzzle masters!

Invi[nc]sible, Part 2: Yoga Pants by Venue Church

As we kick off this series, Invi[nc]sible, the goal is to find significance. To go from invisible to INVINCIBLE! As Pastor Corey describes the difference between success and significance, and we find that the solution we need to looking for isn't a solution at all...listen for the hook!

What does spiritual drama do to our lives? Drama can cause us to miss the runway spiritually, and our plane will crash. It's fun for everyone else to watch, but it quickly burns up our relationships with others. Welcome to Drama Club, part 3.

If you can apply this 10-second rule of the to every conflict in your life, you will find that drama will go down, health will go up and happiness as a result will go up! Only you can take responsibility for your own soul and when you're no longer the star in a movie no one wants to watch, you will be happier!

Does your life ever feel like a drama club? Unhealthy and insecure people can’t separate who they are from what they’ve done— and they ruin their connections with others. So how do we get rid of the drama? Welcome to Drama Club, part 1.

When God gives us ten donuts and asked us to give one back, but we decide we don't want to...it'll put a bit of a strain on that relationship. See partnering with God and our finances...er, donuts, is similar to partnering with a Shark in Shark's Tank, it's 50/50.

Un-sentimentally speaking, we're in danger of replacing love with sentiment. Though sentiment may seem harmless, it actually turns ugly fast. Maybe you have memories of the original Annie or your puppy which is no longer a puppy, and you'd rather the memories over the real thing? Do you think you're sentimental?

Everyone wants influence...so why does not everyone get it? There are two types of people, those with influence and those without, high capacity people and people with potential...which will you be?

What do you find security in? The problem is that most of the things in which we find security won't have our back when we need them to. Our culture tells us that love is conditional and the blessings are unconditional...what if that wasn't the way it's supposed to be?
