Nehemiah, Esther & Acts

This week we wrapped up Losing Myself with Moses' final view of the Promised Land in Deuteronomy 34. Jamey challenged us to stop winning at the wrong things and invest our lives in what lasts: people, a passion for Jesus, and a legacy that anchors souls long after we're gone.

Q1: Lasting Influence

What's a phrase, lesson, or habit someone taught you years ago that still shapes your life today?

Q2: Winning at the Wrong Things

Jesus warns that it's possible to gain the world and lose your soul.

When have you caught yourself keeping score by standards Jesus never asked you to measure?

Follow-up: How do you distinguish between a good goal and an ultimate goal?

Q3: Trusting God's Timeline

Moses saw the promise fulfilled but didn't enter it himself.

What does his story teach us about trusting God when His timing is slower than we'd prefer?

Follow-up: How does that challenge our expectation for instant results?

Q4: Legacy vs. Inheritance

The big idea was:

"An inheritance fills their hands; a legacy anchors their soul."

How does that change what we're trying to leave behind for others?

Follow-up: Where do you feel the tension between providing and discipling?

Q5: Living a Legacy

Whether we realize it or not, someone is watching our lives.

Who comes to mind when you think about the people God has placed in your wake?

Follow-up: How can we become a church that intentionally leaves a legacy of faith?

Q6: Passing It On

Moses invested in Joshua before his story ended.

What's one practical way we can pass along faith, wisdom, or encouragement this week?

Follow-up: Talk about some of the leaders who have grown up through Next Gen, LDP, and Believers over the years.

Our students are at camp this week—be praying for them and their leaders!

We'll be back Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we kick off our summer series, Campfire Stories. Together we'll tackle honest questions about faith, life, and culture around the campfire.

Don't forget: July 5th is our special Family Service at 10 AM (one service only).

Invite someone, share the episode, and join us in person or on YouTube at 1 PM.

Until then, don't forget—we're here for good.

Go BE LOVE!

Got a question? Let us know!

Host: Heather
Guests: Jamey, Doug, RaChelle

Quick catch-up: What did y'all get into this weekend?

What stood out to you from this week's reading?

Finished 2 Chronicles, started Ezra, and wrapped up John.

This week in Losing Myself, Jamey took us to Numbers 20, where Moses lets frustration and ego shape a moment that was meant to reveal God's grace. The reminder was both sobering and hopeful: When I insert myself, I distort Jesus. As we lose ourselves, people can see Him more clearly.

Q1: The Long Road

The Israelites spent decades in the wilderness.

What's something in your life that took much longer than expected but taught you something valuable along the way?

Q2: Formation Over Destination

Jamey, you said we often focus on destinations while God focuses on formation.

Where have you seen God shaping you in a season that felt slower or harder than you wanted?

Follow-up: How do you notice formation instead of only measuring progress?

Q3: Representing Jesus

Moses had a unique role, but in some ways every Christian represents God to others.

How do we take that responsibility seriously without acting like we speak for God?

Follow-up: Have you ever had a moment where frustration affected how you represented Jesus to someone else?

Q4: Conviction Without Contempt

John Newton warned about the danger of self-righteousness.

Why is contempt so tempting when we believe we're right, and what does it look like to hold conviction without losing compassion?

Follow-up: How can we tell the difference between courage and ego in our tone?

Q5: Distorting Jesus

The big idea was:

"When I insert myself, I distort Jesus."

Where does that land personally—in family conflict, politics, social media, church conversations, or elsewhere?

Follow-up: What's one sign that Jesus is becoming clearer and we're becoming less visible?

Q6: Three Practices

Jamey challenged us to:

• Pause before reacting
• Lead with grace
• Remember how much grace we need

Which of those feels like your next faithful step this week?

Follow-up: What would change if we started with confession before criticism?

MERGE

Quick conversation about tonight's Merge gathering.

FAITH & FREEDOM MOVIE NIGHT

A brief look at this week's documentary event exploring the story and significance of Juneteenth and the hope that fueled the pursuit of freedom.

Be sure to share this episode and invite someone to join you this weekend!

We'll be at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we wrap up our Losing Myself series. We'd love to connect with you and your guests. If you can't make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1 PM.

Until then, don't forget—we're here for good.

Go BE LOVE!

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Doug, and Chelle as they continue unpacking Week 5 of Losing Myself. Looking at Exodus 17, they explore what happens when fear, criticism, and crowd pressure begin to shape our decisions—and how Moses learned to lead by seeking God's approval instead of the approval of people.

Along the way, the team talks about herd mentality, handling criticism, why fear can distort trust, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when the crowd is pulling in a different direction. They also discuss one of the message's biggest takeaways: "I lead by seeking the approval of One."

Plus, a conversation about the Bible Reading Challenge, a few stories from large crowds they've experienced, and practical ways to trust God instead of reacting to the loudest voices around us.

Whether you're navigating criticism, leadership, people-pleasing, or simply trying to follow Jesus more faithfully, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps for the journey.

This week's key thought: I lead by seeking the approval of One.

Be sure to subscribe, share the episode, and invite someone to join you this Sunday as we continue our Losing Myself series!
