Celebrating Connection (Rodney Holmstrom)
God wired us for connection. Connection with God and others is one of the key components that keeps us on track on an individual and ministry level.
Connection reminds us that we’re not alone and that we can face the obstacles ahead.
A life with limited connection with others can feel helpless and lonely. After a season of disconnection, it’s easy to fall into the new norms that don’t include connecting with others. But this only leads to additional mental health struggles that can leave us feeling even more helpless and hopeless.
In this message, Rodney explores how connection affects our minds, hearts, and recovery, and shares the benefits of connecting with others in healthy ways.

In this session, Pastors Jimmy and Irene Rollins share from their own life experience how there is purpose in the prisons of life—in the inner prisons of pain, trauma, anger, and fear that we find ourselves in.
Their inspiring message will not only help you share the Good News with others, but also be equipped to cope with the bad news you face.

Celebrating Our Freedom (Sabrena Stolze)
Have you ever felt stuck, trapped, or like something's got a hold of you and just won't let go? You know what that’s like if you’ve struggled with sadness, worry, fear, shame, self-condemnation, addictions and compulsions, and toxic relationships.
You can be brand new in recovery or on the journey for many years and still be in bondage to something.
The good news for believers is we have freedom at our fingertips. Galatians 5:1 tells us "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" (NIV).
But if Christ set us free for freedom, why are we still in bondage? And how do we avoid the yoke of slavery that Satan and our flesh constantly fight to put on us?
In this message, Sabrena shares some of her own struggles with bondage and gives us practical ways on how we can release the burden of "fixing" ourselves by allowing the Holy Spirit to free us from all that holds us captive.

In this session, Dr. John Townsend starts by asking us a couple of insightful questions:
- Have you ever spent too much time dealing unsuccessfully with someone you're working with and ended up feeling completely drained?
- Why did you put up with whatever you put up with for as long as you've put up with it?
By looking at these questions, Dr. John Townsend will help you establish healthy boundaries with the people in your life. You'll learn which people in your life you need to draw closer to, create stronger boundaries with, and end the relationship with because they are toxic to you.

Avoiding the Lure of Perfectionism (Rodney Holmstrom)
If rigidity is the core of perfectionism, grace is the core of healthy living.
In this season of loss, change, and struggles, the enemy attempts to feed us lies of insecurity and false definitions of how we should see ourselves, others, and ministry.
In this message, Rodney explores one of the most disguised lies the enemy throws at us—that we have to be perfect in order to have value—and shows us how we are valuable simply because God created us in his image.
