I’ll be the first to admit it: Sunday mornings can be a battle. The alarm goes off, and for a split second, that warm, heavy blanket feels like the most spiritual thing in the world. You start doing the "Sunday Morning Math." You think, “I can just watch the livestream later,” or “I’ve had a long week, and God knows I’m tired.” Maybe you even tell yourself that you can worship God just as well on a hike or with a cup of coffee on the back porch. And look, I get it. I really

Let’s be honest for a second. We’ve all been there. You’re standing in a crowded room: maybe it’s at the grocery store, a high school football game, or even during a Sunday service at a church in Green River, WY: and yet, you feel completely alone. You’re surrounded by people, but nobody actually knows you. Nobody knows that you had a rough week at work, or that you’re worried about your kids, or even just that you’ve been struggling to find a reason to smile lately. That fe

Let’s be honest for a second. Walking into a new church for the first time can feel a little... well, weird. Maybe "weird" isn't the right word. Maybe it’s "intimidating." Or "awkward." I get it. I’ve been there. You’re worried you’re going to sit in someone’s unassigned-assigned seat. You’re worried you won’t know the songs. You’re worried that the moment you step through the front doors, a giant neon sign will point at you and scream, "NEW PERSON ALERT!" I’m Kevin, the Lead

I’ll be honest with you, I have too many apps on my phone. I’ve got apps for the weather, apps for my bank, apps that track how many steps I take (which usually just tell me I need to walk more), and even an app that helps me identify what kind of bird is making that weird noise in my backyard. Sometimes, tech feels like just another thing to manage. It feels like "clutter." And the last thing I want to do as a pastor is give you more "clutter." But here’s the thing: at Green

Let’s be honest for a second. Being a guy in Green River, Wyoming, usually means you’re pretty good at handling things on your own. We’re a DIY kind of town. Whether it’s fixing a leak in the crawlspace, navigating a long shift at the plant, or hauling a trailer up into the Winds, we pride ourselves on being self-sufficient. But there’s a downside to that "Lone Ranger" mentality. If we’re not careful, we end up living our lives in silos. We have "work friends," "hunting buddi

If you’ve spent any time around church lately, you’ve probably heard the word "discipleship." It’s one of those big, "churchy" words that sounds a little intimidating, right? Like you need a master’s degree in theology or a special robe just to participate. It sounds like a lot of work. It sounds... heavy. But here’s the truth: Discipleship is just a fancy way of saying "learning to walk with Jesus." Think about it like growing a garden here in Green River. If you’ve ever tri

Ever walk into one of those giant warehouse clubs, you know the ones, and feel like you’re just a wandering ghost with a credit card? You’re surrounded by hundreds of people, yet nobody makes eye contact. You could probably start juggling pineapples in aisle four and most folks would just push their carts a little faster to get around you. It’s efficient. It’s big. But it’s incredibly lonely. Lately, I’ve noticed that people are starting to look for something different in the
