• Week 02 - To Grow in Holiness - Fasting Practice
    Jun 14 2026

    Fasting is one of the most overlooked practices in the way of Jesus.

    In this message, Kim explores how fasting helps us become aware of the desires that shape our lives and trains us to walk in step with the Holy Spirit. Through Galatians 5, Psalm 63, and Jesus' time in the wilderness, we discover that fasting is not about earning God's love or proving our devotion. It is about awakening our deeper hunger for God.

    Together we explore:
    • Saying no to the flesh and yes to the Spirit
    • Why fasting exposes our deeper appetites
    • Jesus' example in the wilderness
    • Learning dependence on God
    • Growing in holiness through surrender

    Our deepest hunger is not for what satisfies us temporarily.

    Our deepest hunger is for God.

  • Week 01 - To Offer Ourselves to God - The Fasting Practice
    Jun 7 2026

    Fasting is one of the most powerful and neglected practices in the way of Jesus.

    In this episode, we explore fasting as an act of surrender, a way of offering our bodies and desires to God, and a practice that awakens our deeper hunger for His presence.

    Using the example of Daniel and the teaching of Jesus, we discover how fasting helps us:
    • Reorder our appetites
    • Slow down and pay attention
    • Turn hunger into prayer
    • Declare that God is enough
    • Offer ourselves more fully to Jesus

    Every hunger pang becomes an invitation:

    "Jesus, I offer myself to You again today."

    This conversation is an invitation to rediscover fasting as a pathway into intimacy, dependence, and deeper life with God.

  • Week 04 - Being with God - Prayer Practice
    May 31 2026

    Prayer is more than asking God for things.

    In this teaching from Psalm 73, we explore prayer as a pathway into God's presence rather than a method for controlling outcomes. Asaph's journey from frustration and confusion to peace and clarity reminds us that God's presence changes our perspective, even when our circumstances remain unchanged.

    Together we explore:

    • Anchoring in God's goodness
    • Honest prayer
    • God's perspective in difficult seasons
    • Abiding in Christ
    • Why the nearness of God is our refuge

    The goal of prayer is not perfection.

    The goal of prayer is friendship with God.

    "The nearness of God is good for me."

  • Week 03 - Listening to God - The Prayer Practice
    May 17 2026

    What if prayer isn’t about saying more — but becoming more aware?

    This episode explores the practice of listening to God in the middle of everyday life. Through silence, attentiveness, and continual communion with the Holy Spirit, we learn to move through life with peace instead of hurry, awareness instead of distraction, and response instead of reaction.

    Prayer is not meant to be confined to a quiet room or a religious moment. It becomes a thread of communion woven throughout the day — learning to recognize the nearness of God in every moment.

  • Week 01 - Talking to God - The Prayer Practice
    May 3 2026

    This week's community practice focuses on establishing a daily prayer rhythm, whether starting with 10-15 minutes using the Lord's Prayer or a psalm, or deepening an existing 20-30 minute practice by asking God how to integrate prayer throughout the day.

    The example of Nehemiah in chapters 1 and 2 illustrates prayer as a simple, honest conversation with God about life's challenges. Faced with devastating news about Jerusalem's walls, Nehemiah's immediate response was to weep, mourn, fast, and pray, acknowledging God's greatness, confessing sin, and reminding God of His promises

  • Week 03 - Delight & Worship - The Sabbath Practice
    Apr 26 2026

    In this teaching from Luke 13, we look at Jesus healing a woman who had been bent over for 18 years and what that moment reveals about the true heart of Sabbath.

    Sabbath is not meant to be a religious burden. It is a gift of rest, healing, freedom, delight, and worship. Jesus restores Sabbath by bringing people into wholeness.

    This episode invites us to ask what is weighing us down, what lies we may have normalized, and how Jesus is inviting us into deeper rest and freedom.
