We navigate suffering with faith, honesty, and the ministry of presence. Lament is not the enemy of faith—it’s a vital path to healing. We share stories from our life and leadership to help you hold onto joy, lean into God, and walk others through their pain with grace.

QUESTIONS:

1. How do you usually respond when you find yourself in a hard place?

2. Who has ministered to you in your hard seasons, and how can you do the same for

others?

3. What does it look like to “trust fall” into Jesus in the middle of pain?

We talk about the intimate and sacred gift of sex. Our culture tells us all kinds of lies about sex,
and we need to replace those lies with the beauty of God’s design for sexuality within marriage.
Our goal isn’t shame—it’s healing, clarity, and joy in following God’s plan.

QUESTIONS:
1. How have past experiences, trauma, or cultural messaging shaped your understanding of
sexuality?
2. Why does viewing sex as a gift or a right shape the way couples enjoy it?
3. In what ways can you make sexual intimacy in marriage an act of worship?

We walk through the seven values that shape life at Keystone Church. Culture happens by
default or by design, and we choose to design ours around biblical truths like Jesus changing
lives, living in community, and embracing both reverence and celebration. We don’t believe you
have to choose between deep theology and vibrant worship—or between seriousness and fun.
We’re raising a church family that worships loud, serves strong, and laughs often.

QUESTIONS:
1. Which of Keystone’s seven values most challenges or inspires you?
2. What kind of culture is being unintentionally created in your home or community?
3. How do you balance seriousness and fun in your walk with God?
