TechWise Family
Feel like your family is always distracted by technology? You’re not alone! Since the onset of the pandemic, millions of people, young and old, are spending more time in front of screens than ever. Juggling work and school online has heightened our awareness of the spiritual, relational and emotional struggles with always-on access to technology. But beyond setting limits for screen time, how do parents and families learn how to truly connect, not just survive the new digital normal? That’s…

Good Works
What would it be like for the church to be good for the communities they live in and good also for the growth and wholeness of the people within? Many churches are good at one or the other. Few are good are both. But a small mission in southern Ohio has provided a compelling example of how the two can come together to bring life and be a light. For over forty years, the community of Good Works, Inc., has…
EggFest 2022!

WHAT HAPPY COUPLES KNOW
Marriage matters. But it doesn’t always feel that way. When your relationship with your spouse is on the edge or it simply feels lifeless, a marriage can feel more like a fixture in your home than something that adds value to your life. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are happy couples who weren’t always happy couples. Change can happen. Whether your marriage is in trouble, whether you’d like to see new life in your relationships or…

Finding Our Way Forward
As we re-enter life after the pandemic, and as the church re-invents itself for the new normal, what kind of people do we want to be, and does the world need us to be? Our culture is increasingly suspicious of, resistant to, and even hostile toward institutional Christianity. What can we learn from the early believers about practicing “the way of Jesus” in a way that opens people’s hearts to the good news of life with God? Check out our…
