Send us Fan Mail We have more information at our fingertips than any generation before us, yet information alone does not make us wise. As we begin our journey through Proverbs, Pastor Ashley reminds us that wisdom begins with recognizing that God sees the whole picture when we can see only a piece. Rather than simply following our instincts, relying on others, or turning immediately to Google or AI, we are invited to pause and ask, “God, what is your way?” Wisdom calls us to humility, prayer...

The path may not always be easy, but we n...

Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to truly “speak life” to the people around us? As Pastor Ashley closes the series, she reminds us that following Jesus is about more than being right. It is about how we love, forgive, listen, and care for one another. Matthew 18 invites us to seek those who feel lost, care for those who are vulnerable, and have the courage to work toward reconciliation when relationships are broken. Sometimes that means having a difficult conversation. Sometimes it means ta...
