In this episode, Pastor Dom unpacks what it means to live as people of life in a culture of death.

In this week’s message, Pastor Dom unpacks how the Gospel brings clarity to our confusion about who we’re truly meant to serve. in distorts our perspective—it confuses the creation with the Creator, the gift with the Giver, and trades the truth of God for lies.

Can you believe in both science and God? Or does one cancel out the other? In the final week of our “4 Huge Questions” series, we dive into one of the most common roadblocks to faith: the supposed conflict between science and belief in God. Using John 20:24-31, we explore how doubt, evidence, and faith intersect—and why scientific discovery doesn’t have to be the enemy of belief. Whether you’re a skeptic, a seeker, or a disciple wanting to engage culture with truth, this conversation will equip you to see how God and science can actually coexist.

With Pastor Dom we explore what it means for Jesus to enter not just Jerusalem, but our lives, with authority that looks nothing like the world’s. How do our assumptions about God’s plans clash with His actual purpose? What does true authority look like in the hands of a Savior? And how can we trust that God’s goodness is at work, even when things unfold differently than we hoped?

Tune in while we hear from Dr. Juli Slattery in Rethinking Sexuality
RETHINKING SEXUALITY EVENT The focus of this event is to equip Christian men and women to address sexuality in a way that represents God's love and truth. Dr. Juli Slattery writes, “One day it dawned on me. We have been sexually discipled by the world!” We believe it’s time to change that.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Sexuality in today’s world is one of the largest roadblocks to faith in Christ. The LGBT revolution, widespread porn use and addiction, the hook-up culture, sexual abuse and trauma... these each represent pain that keeps people from trusting God for salvation and Christians from following Jesus as disciples. Most people, including Christians, simply can’t make sense of God and sexuality. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, the Rethinking Sexuality event prepares you to view how sexuality is rooted within the broader context of God’s heart and His work for us on earth. It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality.
There is no area of humanity in which the church is more ill-equipped than teaching holy sexuality. We have a long history of silence about sexuality, and when we have addressed it, we’ve categorized and shamed people. When sex becomes confusing, God becomes confusing. The Lord will give us wisdom to turn this tide... to equip and mobilize the church to have sexual conversations that exalt Jesus as Savior, Lord, and Healer. We call this model Sexual Discipleship®. Instead of arguing with the world about what’s right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical teaching by Dr. Juli Slattery equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness--your own or someone else’s.
"These events served as a powerful way to bring this discussion to our churches. It generated excitement and diminished the fear around discussing the complex issues of sexuality." -- Rethinking Sexuality event pastor
WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR? We believe this is a conversation in which every church needs to engage. The teaching is geared toward Christian leaders, parents, and every Christian who desires to be grounded in a biblical understanding of sexuality.
