Many of us are living a version of life that feels safe on the surface.


We busy ourselves with good things, spiritual routines, and our best efforts to achieve success in life.


Did you know that there is a version of your life that is fuller, freer, and more honest than your daily experience?


Jesus said in John 10:10, “I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”


You were made to experience abundant life through Jesus. The problem for many of us is that we have been taught that this abundant life is discovered by accumulating more knowledge, and saturating our minds with more information, and adding more bullets on our to-do lists. So we join a Bible Study. We attend worship. We participate in a small group. We devote ourselves to pray more often. We commit to serve more diligently. 


Yet after all that, we still find ourselves anxious, hurried, reactive, exhausted, disconnected, and spiritually stuck!


What if the abundant life Jesus promised is closer than you think? 


What if the pathway toward that abundant life leads us into the deeper parts of our lives that we usually avoid, because “going there” is too risky and possibly even painful?


For eight weeks, we’re going to stop avoiding and start looking at our past, emotions, relationships, and journeys with Jesus. This journey ahead of us for everyone. It is for all ages, backgrounds, and stages of life. It is for people who have been attending church all their lives as well as for people who are just checking it out. 


Beginning August 23, 2026

This material is meant to challenge you. This 8-week churchwide study has the potential to bring about real, deep, and lasting change in your life. This study is not about gathering more information. It's about experiencing deep transformation.
