What are you afraid of running out of?

Maybe it’s your favorite mascara or your pint of The Tonight Dough your dad decided to polish off. 

Or maybe it’s something deeper—time with loved ones, money, health, or even beauty.

We all have things we try to hold on to, grasping for control, worried they might one day run out.

But Jesus offers us a list of promises, showing how His faithfulness will be revealed when we surrender control to Him. When we trust that He can create purpose out of our moments—or seasons—of scarcity and pain. 

I want to trust God--but why is it so hard?

Join Jalen and Jena for a conversation about right-sizing our FAITH. They discuss two bold questions we can ask God that challenge us to have an active faith, even when it feels impossible. They also explore how to pray in faith and recognize when God answers our prayers.

WE'RE BACK! After an extended Christmas break, we're excited to jump back in and invite you guys into a conversation about--you guessed it--JALEN'S ENGAGEMENT STORY. Just kidding, we talk about feelings. Engagement too, but mostly feelings.

Why am I so afraid of being lonely? Why do I wake up in a spiral of anxious thoughts about my school day? Why am I scared he won’t like me back? Why am I afraid of what other people think?

Fear can feel OVERWHELMING. Join Jalen and Jena in a conversation about three steps we can take to right size our fears.
