How Do I Pray Bold Prayers?

God has made Himself accessible to us through prayer, inviting us to boldly approach Him with our needs and desires. Often, we either underestimate God’s power or doubt our worthiness to pray. Yet, God desires bold, faith-filled prayers—ones that can move mountains and perform miracles, like parting seas or raising the dead. Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that He is able to do far more than we can imagine through His power within us. We are encouraged to make prayer a daily practice and are welcome to join weekly prayer meetings at each campus for deeper connection. Reach out to your campus pastor for more details!

What Does Compassion Look Like?

Learning the culture of God's Kingdom means learning directly from the King Himself. Jesus redefined what it means to lead by showing deep compassion and love that meets real needs, inviting us to do the same and embrace His heart for others.

Why Should I Serve?

Jesus’ example calls us to serve others sacrificially, even when we disagree, because He did the same for us while we were still sinners. The text reflects on how culture has shifted and outlines three options for influence: care, act, see, and celebrate. Practically, it encourages identifying a specific need in your community and serving sacrificially, followed by reflecting on the impact and joy of making a difference.

How to Live with Competing Desires

Desires can pull us in many directions, but as followers of Christ, we are called to live by the Spirit, not by our flesh. Surrendering to Jesus is just the beginning. True transformation comes when we intentionally turn away from our old desires and embrace the freedom only Christ can offer.

Get In The Game with Michael Jr

The challenges you’ve faced in the past, which may have once seemed like disadvantages, are often part of God’s preparation for your future purpose. Whether you realize it or not, you’ve been honing your talents and gifts since childhood. When it’s “game time,” God will guide you to use them. Like a GPS recalculating when you veer off course, God helps you course-correct toward your destination, even if the journey becomes longer and harder. During frustrating moments, listen for His gentle voice, reminding you to “Be Still.” This week, reflect on past challenges that have shaped your path, and consider sharing your thoughts with someone close.

How Does God Transform Me?

Many of us focus on caring for our outward appearance while neglecting our inner well-being. We hide our flaws, not just from others, but also from God. This video explores the importance of focusing on our hearts, not just the external, and how surrendering to Jesus is a daily process. We need to seek forgiveness, be authentic, and let go of the habit of hiding. True transformation starts when we embrace our new identity in Christ and continually surrender to Him.

How Should the Church Interact with the World?

The Kingdom of God operates on principles that are entirely different from those of the world, and the church must be aware of this distinction to avoid conforming to the world's ways. While the world's kingdom leads to brokenness and regret, God's Kingdom offers healing and blessing. Jesus instructs the church to be in the world but not like it, showing compassion and humility to help people come to faith. This week's challenge encourages believers to embody a "pineapple" standard for personal conduct while adopting a "peach" approach—soft and approachable—towards others, making it easier for them to find Jesus.

How Do I Worry Less?

In a world filled with anxiety from financial instability, job stress, and personal struggles, it seems impossible to escape the constant worry that overtakes our minds and hearts. However, in the Kingdom of God, peace is meant to be the norm. While external stressors will always exist, our response to them can be transformed. As believers, we're called to seek God's Kingdom first, laying down our burdens and embracing His peace. To practice this peace, we can engage in prayer and journaling, focusing on God's promises and allowing the Prince of Peace to calm our anxious hearts.

What Does God Say About Family?

Raising a family on Godly values can be challenging, but it's essential to keep God at the center. Regardless of your upbringing, God's purpose and design for family remain constant. Key reflections include understanding God's mission for families, finding your allegiance, identity, and calling in Christ, and connecting with a spiritual family for support. Joining a group can help you build a strong spiritual foundation for your family. Consider finding a group through 12stone.com/groups this week.

How to Forgive

How forgiveness is handled in the Kingdom is different than how it’s handled outside the Kingdom. We know the Kingdom of God has a King, a culture, and a calendar, but it also has a code. The world’s code tells us to “get even.” But the Kingdom Code of Conduct instructs us to approach life differently. For followers of Jesus, the Kingdom Code that governs relationships is forgiveness.  But sometimes forgiveness can be complicated. We need to forgive, and we need to be forgiven.
