Camping. It’s supposed to be all about fresh air, starry skies, and bonding with nature, but in reality, it’s more about fighting with a tent that won’t cooperate and accidentally roasting marshmallows to charcoal. And then there’s the wildlife—squirrels plotting a snack heist and raccoons holding meetings about your granola bars. I’ve had my share of camping fails, but none come close to the legendary story of Sisera & Jael we’re exploring this week. Trust me, this makes my tent pole incident seem like a walk in the park.

This week, we’re diving into the tale of the worst camping injury ever imagined a tent spike straight through the head. And why—despite how gruesome it sound — it holds some deep lessons for us today. This is not your family campout and it is certainly Not Your Kid’s Bible Story.

We’ve all heard it: “I am enough.” It sounds empowering. But what if, deep down, you’re not buying it? What if the truth is, you don’t feel like enough - and maybe never have?

Join us for a raw, honest conversation about weakness, doubt, and the limits of self-affirmation. We’re peeling back the polished slogans to wrestle with what it really means to be human - and to need help. Oh, and yes- there’s also a cool assassin story involved. Intrigued? You should be.

This isn’t a tidy Sunday School lesson. It’s not your kid’s bible story. It’s something better.

The Bible we grew up with as kids often sanitized the real stories, but what if the truth was more intense, raw, and real? The truth is, just like our lives, the scriptures are rated R. This summer, we’re diving into the Bible’s unfiltered narratives — the gritty, complicated, and sometimes shocking accounts that reflect the world as it is. These are stories that may not be “family friendly”; but if we can lean in and understand them, they could shed light on the toughest challenges we face in our own lives.

This week, we’re kicking things off with a deep dive into the Doom Spiral — the destructive, endless cycle of hurt and confusion many of us get caught in and how God wants to get us out.
