Better Episode 1 "For Better of for Worse"

January 7, 2024 • Jason Ewart

Bigger isn’t better. Better is better. Yet we often confuse the two. We’ll begin the series by talking about that the path to better is down, not up. The way to become first is to become the worst. That’s the path of Jesus.

Better Episode 2 Better Together

January 14, 2024 • Zach Thwaits

We live in a time where we are more connected than ever. Yet we are possibly lonelier than ever. A person might have 1000 friends on social media, have friends that live all over the world, but not have someone to call for a ride if their car breaks down. We need to find a way and a place for better friendships to begin. Thankfully the start to better friendship and belonging is closer than most people realize.

Better Episode 3 Better Work

January 21, 2024 • Jason Ewart

We spend about half of our waking hours at work. It is a major part of your life. However, about 80% of Americans report that they are unsatisfied in their current jobs. Why are we so unhappy with work? The reason why is that we don’t have a very good theology of work. Discovering God’s “why” for work will make your work better and make you better at work

Better Episode 4 Better Parenting

January 28, 2024 • Jason Ewart

Normal parents are consumed with what they want for their children, and what they want from their children. Better parents are consumed with what GOD wants for their children and from their children. Ultimately, they are children of our Father in Heaven. So better parents have a bigger goal with raising children

Better Episode 5 "Better Health'

February 4, 2024 • Jason Ewart

At some point, you’ve probably wanted to improve your health. To eat less sugar, to lose a few pounds of fat, to gain a few pounds of muscle, to stop smoking, to start exercising. If that’s true, there’s probably also some point at which you failed or regressed in your effort to be healthier. The problem wasn’t that you didn’t know how to be healthier. Perhaps the problem had to do with why you wanted to be healthier. In this message, we’ll discover that God cares deeply about your health. And when you learn why God cares about your health, it can get you on track to better health.
