What do you do when you feel like God has forgotten about you? It’s a feeling Marci was no stranger to, but in recent years, she has seen the truth, and she’s here today to share it with us. “While growing up, one thing became very clear to me when it came to God: I was extremely confused. I was raised in church, but my relationship with God was all about following a set of rules and trying to be…
Have you found yourself in crisis without any idea of where to turn, what to do, or who to turn to? It’s somewhere many of us have been, but there’s hope. Both times Andy and Kelly’s relationship was in crisis, they found reconciliation in their marriage, and, ultimately, they found their fulfillment in God by putting Him first. “We were married for 7 years before we walked into Restore…and some of those years had been almost unbearable. Andy and I…
A lot of us hope for physical answers to our prayers. We wait for them, but the answers don’t always come when we want them to. Cindy felt this first-hand. She prayed for a miracle on her own for many years. But, in November 2019, God answered her prayers and changed her life. “I have been battling asthma for 20 plus years, and the longer it’s gone, the more severe it’s gotten.

It takes people who are willing to invest in kid’s lives.

His drive to help kids purely comes from God developing him into a leader…
Have you seen what’s happening with teenagers at Elevate? Students are growing in their faith (and putting it into action), being discipled, and, most importantly, they are accepting God into their hearts and lives. This is exactly what’s happened in Tanner’s life. As a 10th grader at Timber Creek High School and a new Christian, he is making a big wave in his school, Small Group, and family. “I grew up knowing of God, but I didn’t know Him personally–yet.…
Picture this: your Small Group steps out of the circle and does something just for the sheer purpose of just having fun. Devoting time to sitting with one another is important, but so is spending time together at the movies, bowling, or even doing more adventurous things. Mandy and Candice’s Small Group decided to do something a little out of the ordinary with the Small Group their husbands lead together…and it was a game-changer for their Small Group. “It was…
Are you prone to thinking you can’t share your challenges with other people? At some level, perhaps we all are. Struggling privately comes naturally to us. Somehow, it seems as though it’s easier to carry the weight of our problems and challenges alone than to let other people in. But, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
