In the old movie “Ghostbusters” there is a line repeated over and over, “Who do you call?” The past year or so of disruption and loss has made us wonder at times. In this mess of life, “Who do you call?” Daniel’s adventures remind us about what is trustworthy and dependable, and what can quickly be destroyed and lost. We live in a time where many of the things we trust and depend on have shown themselves deficient again and again. Yet, like Daniel, we can not only survive but thrive in a hostile culture. Join us as we look at a Survival Guide for this unbelievable life.

Go Your Way

Life is hard and often feels, and is, unfair. We are sometimes challenged about the realities of our belief in the face of loss and tragedy. Did God not know what was going to happen, or is He just leaving us to struggle on our own? The final vision of Daniel gives us some insight into living in a hostile world, and not just surviving, but thriving. Join us as we wrap up this study and consider both the message and messengers that challenged and encouraged Daniel.
A Hard Answer to a Hard Prayer

You are invited to join us as we consider Daniel’s response to the desperate condition of his country. Over the past few weeks and months many things have happened that have caused people to worry, be concerned, and feel like the nation we grew up in has gone the way of the dinosaur. Yet, despite Daniel’s (a leader in the Bible) nation being in a desperate place, he set an example for us to follow in both his worldview, and his response. This week we’ll consider and practice his responses and his worldview.
The Comfort of a Planner

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. While it sounds cute the reality is that sometimes life wears you down, feeds your insecurities and fears, and redirects your attention to all that is wrong in the world. When our heads are swimming and distracted, it helps to know there is someone in charge who not only knows how to handle what we’re facing but has a plan to respond. Come join us as we explore the comfort of a planner.
