THE WHAT:Each Sunday morning, you get the opportunity to accept the challenge of increasing your peace and maximizing your joy--through 1.5 hour teachings with Pastor Brandon as you discover and integrate the foundations needed to be the best ‘YOU’ that you can possibly be. So rather that goal is to be the best husband or wife....father or mother...widow or single...friend or brother...citizen, employee, or Christian; the Increase Your Peace & Joy Challenge provides the biblical diagnosis to what’s holding you back—and a tangible remedy to get back on track. We truly believe these 6 weeks really do have the potential to change the trajectory of the current peace and joy you have...in the positive!
|
THE WHEN:Each Sunday at 10:30am, we will release the Increase Your Peace & Joy content to you by email and text message. And the goal is for you to participate each Sunday morning with us for worship and then the teaching that comes out of the Book of Ephesians. And no missing class right? Try your best to commit to the full 6 weeks without interruption. Here’s why. It will allow you to go through the process with hundreds of people who are all leaning in at the same time! Plus, it sets you up to be a part of our War Room Discussion groups each Sunday night over Zoom. (Discussions will be about the content that was taught that morning.) This may be the SWEET SPOT of this whole challenge experience.

- Sunday Evening Group Discussions in ‘The Challenge War Room’. (OPTIONAL)
THE CHALLENGE WAR ROOM EXPLAINED:
In the military, war rooms are spaces where key people get together to solve a difficult problem. Also known as situation rooms, control rooms, or command centers, war rooms are used to create strategic plans of attack with clear communication to protect what’s most sacred to our country. Our Sunday evening “war room” are an opportunity for couples and singles to accept the challenge of sharing their reflections, victories, challenges, fears, and questions that came from that week's lesson. All of it with the goal of protecting what’s most sacred in your life.

War Room Group discussions take place over zoom every Sunday at 7:00pm. Pastor Brandon and his wife Jillian will be there to help foster meaningful dialogue and authentic community.
