the me you don't see

Series Runs April 6/7-May 4/5

When you look at me, what do you see?

My hairstyle? My outfit?

But beneath the surface lies the real deal—my thoughts, my struggles, all tucked away.

Would you accept me if you glimpsed my true self? I worry you might not.

But for us to heal and grow, we gotta unmask the parts of me you don't see.

A Few of Our Favorite Books & Podcasts:

Depression

Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table
by Louie Giglio

Hope in the Dark
by Craig Groeschel

unJoy
by Len Lantz
While it can sometimes feel like there are no solutions and that you can never escape depression, that isn’t true.

The Death of Porn
by Ray Ortlund
Pornography may seem inescapable, but God can free us from its destructive power. The gospel replaces the dehumanizing lies of pornography with this surprising truth: God created us as royalty.

A Surrendered Life

Trauma

Treating Trauma Podcast
Onsite Podcast
We all have moments where life is hard, yet some of us have had to endure more than our fair share of pain, hardship, struggle, and trauma.

Relational Issues

Boundaries
by Henry Cloud
Does your life feel like it's out of control? Perhaps you feel like you have to say yes to everyone's requests.
