Something Fun
My favorite podcast from 2024 is called "The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God" which chronicles the story of why new atheism grew old and secular thinkers are considering Christianity again. It helpful captures some macro trends and helpful captures how God moves in different ways.
Something to Consider
Rest Well (May/June-August)
Most groups will wind down in the next few weeks. If you're planning on taking a break, rest well this summer. Use some of your increased capacity to soak in God's word, communion with him through prayer, or just simply reading an edifying book.

Starting Well (September)

At the Leader Landing coming up, we'll ask you to complete this tentative Launch Plan for the fall. This is your best guess on where things are headed for your group. Feel free to take a look at it here and think about it over the next few weeks.

Something Ahead
The Annual Leader Landing, our event to celebrate and close off the year together, will be on Friday evening, May 9th from 6:30-8:45p. Get ready for a fun, celebratory evening of good people, food, remembering what God has done, and looking forward to what is ahead.
