  • Recycled for a few months this year due to time constraints
• Content Ideas to add
  • Lori- The irony of Quiet time
    • Check boxes- we enter quiet time with a check list. It’s often so “noisy” that we don’t hear God.
    • Idea of being still and not filling it with our to do list for what we “need to do” as Christians.
  • Lori- Sunday Takeaway
    • Tiny video content based on a nugget of an edification based on sermons heard on Sunday. 
  • Kent- Breakdown topics or keywords.
    • Break down the idea of Grace
    • Break down Christianese
      • Crista- A-Z?
      • Easy to approach ideas. 
      • We don’t know how much Grace God has. We can’t comprehend it. 
    • Present hope.
  • Tom- Fundamentals. Everything that keeps you an expert is the fundamentals. Covering the fundamentals, repetition of the fundamentals, this is where peace and expertise (Mastering) comes from. 
    • Hoosiers- No matter what, you’re still playing basketball.
    • Golfing- I’ve taught you 3 things. Remember the 3 things we learned. You’ll forget everything you taught you because your mind will distract you.
      • Lori- Here’s the fundamentals, true faith will never change, even if your mind does. The distraction is not changing faith. It is a distraction. The fundamentals are the threshold to everything else.
  • Kent- What happened in Patmos? The power of Testimony. What you know that you know is the power. That personal experience. 
  • Tom- The testimony of my healing. I will write a sermon. 
    • Lori- we overcome by the power of the lamb and the word of our testimony. 
  • Kent- Film testimonies.
