This week we're looking at church and culture. How do they work together? Should they work together? Let's dig in!

But it's hard to love your neighbor as yourself when you don't even love yourself.
Join us as we dig into part two of "Hard Love"!
God gave us one commandment that He said was greatest of them all: Love. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Sounds simple! But why is it so... hard? Join us as we take a deeper look into this first "hard love" of loving God.
We live in an imperfect world with imperfect bodies. There are pimples, creaky knees, and bad haircuts. There is cancer, chronic illness, depression. What is God doing in that brokenness? And what do we have to look forward to?
Relationships of all kinds have at least one thing in common: they're imperfect. But what does that mean for you, your worth, and your purpose? Jesus has a little something to say about that.
We search and search and search and can't seem to find it. Churches keep being... not perfect. So what do we do with that brokenness? More importantly, what does GOD do with it? Check it out with this week's installment of the "Imperfect" series: The Imperfect Church.
