For years, when Christi Brown looked in the mirror she didn’t like what she saw. Today she shares how her life was changed when she found freedom from insecurity. Until two weeks ago, I didn’t know what life without insecurity was like. Self-worth, uncertainty, fear of what others thought of me, they were all things I wrestled with on a daily basis. On the outside I tried to hide it, but on the inside I was consumed by it. It…
“Let me tell you how rich we are…” Being thankful isn’t just something we are when everything seems to be going our way–when we finally get that promotion at work, our marriage is going great or we see our kids experience a breakthrough. Thankfulness transcends the status of our bank accounts or how difficult our circumstances may seem. It goes deeper than that. Gratitude is an attitude of the heart. No one better represents this state of mind than Betty…
The mission is worth it. People matter to God. Generosity transforms. These are things we say a lot at Milestone, but it’s during events like Missions Weekend that we see how they really shape the culture of our church.

I received a letter from Sammy last week describing what the Lord has been speaking to her throughout the series and how it was especially meaningful to her because of her story. I wanted to take a moment today and give you a little bit more of her incredible journey… Dear Pastor Jeff…

Watch as he shares his story of what seemed like a chance meeting that led to a life transforming experience in the presence of God. Even when we can’t see it, God is always moving on our behalf. He’s in every detail— orchestrating divine…
From a young age, we all have dreams and plans of what we hope the future will hold. For Steph, that future was gymnastics, and it was her life. But she found herself lost after a devastating injury and swift end to her career. Disappointment, tragedy, confusion—they can all leave us in a place of fear. “I just didn’t understand why this was all happening.” Watch Steph’s story and find out how God met her where she was, and turned…
When we’re living out our faith every day we do things differently. Evangelism isn’t just something we do, it’s how we live our lives. So what does living missionally look like? We sit in the stands differently. We routine differently. We work differently. We even neighbor differently. We recently heard an awesome story of neighboring differently as Sheila Mitchell shared with us her experience delivering a Welcome Box with her 14-year-old grandson to new residents in our community. Recently, my…
