How do I break agreement with demonic influence in my life?The Holy Spirit empowers us to live free from demonic oppression. Yet we all experience attacks from the enemy, who wants to deceive us into agreeing with his lies. The good news is, evil spirits have no authority over believers in Jesus, and when we can recognize their attack, we can break their influence. What does that look like practically? Join Emily Given and Matt Swords as they discuss how to walk that out in our daily lives.

Guest speaker William Wood teaches on recognizing the influence of evil spirits in our lives so that we can be free.

Why should I seek the Lord for more?God calls us to seek him--to set our focus on him, listen for his voice, and rest in his presence. This requires us to intentionally create margin in our lives for him. Often, this is not easy or comfortable. Our lives are very full, and change feels hard. Perhaps we wonder, Why does this matter so much? What will I gain by seeking the Lord in this way? Join Jim Ehrman and Heidi Zimmerman as they talk about what happens when we invite God's greater work in our lives.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman invites us to respond to God's call to focus, listen, and rest in this special season of grace.

How can you share your faith naturally and impactfully?We all know sharing our faith is important, yet many of us feel very intimidated about doing it. We struggle to know the right words or to find a natural, non-awkward way to bring it up. But God asks us to share his good news as an overflow of our identity in him. Join Jim Ehrman and David Burr as they discuss practical ways to share the gospel that are genuine and natural, as well as effective.

Pastor David Burr shares about evangelism as an overflow of who we are.

How does taking communion impact my life?Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is a normal part of church life, but do we know why we take it and how it impacts us as believers, both corporately and personally? God is inviting us into a greater revelation of the power of Christ's blood shed for us and what we step into when we participate in communion. Join Matt Swords and Chris Weber as they discuss the meaning and impact of communion in our lives.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman explains the power of the cross and what Jesus offers us in the new covenant of his blood.

How do we overcome fear in our day-to-day lives?Fear is a normal part of life, but the Bible tells us that God's love is powerful enough to displace or cast out fear in our lives. Whether we fear disappointment, inadequacy, rejection, the unknown, or something else--Christ's sacrifice on the cross made a way for us to overcome fear. Fear is a liar, and we no longer need to listen to its voice. Join Heidi Zimmerman and Kevin Eshleman as they discuss practical tools for living in victory over fear every day.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman outlines four types of fear that we face and the freedom from fear we can find in Christ.
