You have a default system setting that’s draining your battery: control. And when it’s time for an upgrade, most of us just keep hitting “Remind Me Later.” Control feels safe because it’s familiar. We plan, predict, manage, and try to guarantee the outcome. But eventually, control makes our lives smaller—and our relationships harder.

This week, Alli Patterson shows us why we’ve mistaken a controllable life for a faithful one, and what happens when we finally uninstall control and learn to trust God instead. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Sometimes life feels like a game that's impossible to win. Every day is another roll of the dice, another task, another decision. But what if there was another way to play?

This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how Jesus invites us to play the game in an entirely different way. You don't have to carry the burden, because He's already doing that for you. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio

When you think of filters, you might think of the one in your Brita you haven't changed in 8 months, or maybe 2010's era Instagram. But whether you know it or not, like a camera lens, you have a filter that affects how you view everything in your life. This week, Alli Patterson dives into the story of Abigail and how God might be inviting us to change our filter, and as a result, everything else. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
