Are you waiting for different circumstances to flourish in your faith? You don't have to wait, because God is at work right where you are. Ruth Chou Simons, author of Now and Not Yet, reminds us that we can deepen our relationship with God even when we're not yet where we want to be. Tune in for an encouraging discussion on seasons of waiting, freedom from striving, and resting in God's grace.

In collaboration with Focus on the Family, we are excited to announce Lighthouse Voices returns on September 10 at 7pm Eastern. Lighthouse Voices is a livestreamed event series designed to help Christians navigate today's cultural landscape with truth AND love.
We will be talking about Resilient Faith in a Digital World with Samuel James, author of the new book Digital Liturgies. Contrary to what we may think, technology isn't neutral. The mindless act of scrolling on our phones and consuming digital content DOES something to us. It reshapes the way we relate to God and truth. James will highlight five ways digital habits have slowly starved our souls and will point us to the abundant life we can enjoy when we trade digital addiction for godly wisdom. This faith-shaping conversation will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. To attend via livestream or in person in Holland, Michigan, register for free today at colsoncenter.org/lighthouse.
