Men's Study

Do you believe God loves you and is with you – but you don’t always feel it? Or did you think you’d be further along by now – but you’re not? When what we expect and believe about God doesn’t align with what we actually experience in everyday life, we’re left with a gap that’s too easily filled by doubt, shame, and fear. In this four-part series, we’ll have the opportunity to identify those gaps, confront the unhelpful stories we tell ourselves, and discover the peace that comes from trusting God’s presence and work in our lives.

Please join us for this 4-week series entitled "The Expectation Gap” beginning August 5th at The Summit! Our weekly content will be delivered through right now MEDIA with Steve Cuss providing each week’s video. We will use the free study guide and engage in meaningful small group conversations to grow in God's truth together. We’ll meet from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM on Wednesdays during August.
