1. Part 2: The Difference Between Optimism And Faith.
Contributed on Feb 5, 2026
Stop reading the thermometer and start being the thermostat. Optimism is a fragile wish that things will get better; Faith is an unshakeable trust in who God is. In Part 2, we explore the "Three Unchangeables" of God’s nature.
THE PATTERN INTERRUPT Some of us have a problem we don't like to admit. Our faith is actually just optimism wearing a disguise. We feel faithful when the economy is up.

4. Part 5: The Strength That Comes From Trusting God Alone
Contributed on Feb 10, 2026
God doesn't remove the mountain; He gives you the feet to climb it. In this series finale, we discover the "Rear-Foot Placement" of the mountain deer. The goal of faith isn't to level the valley, but to develop the strength to tread on the heights.
Here's what I've been realizing this week: we've spent five weeks together learning how to stand in the wreckage. How to trust when nothing changes. How to move when the way is unclear. But I wonder if some of you are still waiting for God to change your valley. Still praying for the ...read more
