The Christian life is just that: life. There are highs and lows along the journey of following after Christ.

Pastors Michael Trautman, Kevin Wilson, and Michael Carter explore the life of obedience after that first step of faith. The book of 1 John moves us from only information to a life marked by the "old ways" of spiritual discipline and true repentance.

- Understand the vital difference between regret and repentance: while regret keeps our eyes on our own mistakes and circumstances, true repentance turns our gaze toward God and leads to an actual change in direction.

- Discover why the Bible should be more than just an academic textbook. It provides comfort and anchors our identity in God's goodness during seasons of fear or anxiety.

- Learn how to lean into the "old ways" of the faith, trusting that simple, ancient practices like prayer, community, and worship are the primary avenues God uses to reclaim our sense of His awesomeness.
