Why Church? Ep.1: Obstacles to Engaging with Church

Recent research has shown that Americans are leaving the church at the highest rate in U.S history. It is a movement greater in numbers than all the American revivals combined - just in the opposite direction. It’s now estimated that 15% of all Americans are de-churched. That’s people who used to attend a church at least once per month and now attend fewer than two times a year. This is an alarming trend that draws us to re consider again - “Why Church?”. Why should church be a priority in our lives? Join Ridge Director of Discipleship Will Herron and guest contributor, Kurt Beyer, as they kick off our series by reflecting on some of the reasons why people it hard to consistently connect with Church life.  ...

Walking Through Suffering Ep. 3: Finding Hope and Healing in Suffering

For many, the presence of suffering in the world presents a damning verdict on the existence of a good, all-powerful God. Or, if God does exist, it is suggested that He must not  care about the suffering we endure.

Sharing our story of suffering can be difficult. In the days following a hardship, we often feel more like curling up into a ball rather than opening up to others. What are some of the ways we can get better at sharing our suffering and coming alongside others who are suffering?
