There’s an angst in today’s emerging adults that wasn’t there for their parents or grandparents. Today’s college-aged and young adult men and women are emerging into the most idealized culture, facing pressure to do big things in big ways.

The contrast between expectations and what’s really happening in YOUR life, could be terribly deflating.  Join Dannah Gresh as she unpacks the life of one of her biblical sheros! Yes, I said SHE-ro, and I’m talking about Miriam.

Do you ever find yourself thinking about a past love? Are you struggling to enter into emotional intimacy in the relationship you’re currently in? The Apostle Paul wrote about three barriers the Church at Corinth was experiencing when it came to relationships. That little congregation had a lot of questions about sex and marriage, but the problem wasn’t that they didn’t know God’s guidelines. They just hadn’t personally experienced God’s healing and leading in a way that enabled them to understand God’s view of sex. Dannah Gresh unpacks what the Apostle Paul wrote about: three barriers that keep us from experiencing freedom. This message was recorded in the Pure Freedom studio and was produced by Pure Freedom Ministries.

Everyone has an opinion, and that's good! It means we're all thinking; but does everyone need to voice their opinion all the time? Social media has great power to build up, encourage, inform, and draw individuals closer to one another and closer to God. It also has the power to destroy, to tear down, and to tempt. Dannah Gresh and her pastor Jonathan Weibel discuss the four things every Christian should consider before they post their opinion—or a response to someone else’s—on social media.

The storms of life can be used to activate your faith; but God sure can seem silent when the wind is howling. The Book of Habakkuk is about learning to believe that God is good and maintains control even when there is so much evil and tragedy in the world around us. Though this book is often overlooked during times of peace and prosperity, it has tended to be studied when believers need to learn how to talk to God during epic events. We need it always, but in an urgent and desperate way right now. Dannah Gresh and her pastor Jonathan Weibel discuss what led to a Bible Study being printed and at the ready for women to use the book of Habakkuk during a global pandemic. Explore the six habits of the faithful practiced during times of what seems like God's silence.

Racism. Everyone is talking about it, but the media is full of commentary ranging from concern to condemnation that the evangelical church is not good at joining the conversation. Why the struggle? Some sources say it's because of the individualistic approach some Christians take to the Scriptures...making them all about personal salvation. But God intends to rescue all of humanity. Does that mean we need to repent as a nation or that we get a "bye' if we don't feel we've struggled with the sin of racism. Dannah Gresh has been searching her own heart as our nation endures a difficult and painful period of civil unrest. In this message delivered at an outdoor gathering hosted by Centre Church, she shared what God has been revealing and makes a few powerful confessions.
