The more you understand God’s character, the easier it is to trust him in tragedy. Looking at Joel 2, we uncover how God reveals Himself amidst chaos and crisis and how in those season you can unlock rich spiritual understanding. We’re learning to shift our perspective from asking 'Why, God?' to seeking 'What are you teaching me, God?'"

Pastor Levi Lusko sets up a new study through the Old Testament book of Joel, It's Going To Be Alright. We learn that trials seldom call ahead, and at any moment a trap door can open plunging us into crisis, death, and grief. In this message we are walked through grieving process– how not to grieve, how to grieve, and ultimately we are pointed to Jesus who never leaves our side and offers peace and healing.

Pastor Levi Lusko discusses the final wound of Jesus, highlighting its role in salvation and healing. The podcast explores themes of grief, community support, emotional awareness, and the transformative power of faith. Through biblical references and personal experiences, the speaker emphasizes the importance of finding peace and healing in Jesus, reflecting on the power of the cross and the journey from doubt to unwavering belief.

We often renegotiate what "all" means–we think it means "when I feel like it," "when I can see the benefit of it," "when I want to," or "when I'm not otherwise engaged." Looking at Mark 12:30, Pastor Bruce shows us that all means all and that in order to love God with all our hearts, some things have to go, some things have to change, and some things have to be embraced.

Pastor Shawn Johnson reminds us that because of Easter everything changes! Our God is big and powerful but also close and personal. There is nothing He cannot handle and the promise of Easter is that because of Christ we can live in freedom. 

Jennie Lusko looks at another one of the wounds of Jesus in our series, The Wonderful Cross, and shows us that because Jesus wore the crown of thorns, we can wear the crown of life. We often don’t see it coming when pain and hardship come our way, but Jesus knew what was coming for Him–torture, pain, mockery, shame, nakedness, ridicule, and death–and did it voluntarily, vicariously, and victoriously!
