Does God Actually Want Me? | Kylen Perry

Are you worried about wasting your 20s & 30s? It's easy to assume you have all the time in the world, but Scripture is clear we don't know how many days we get — so what are yours going to be marked by? This week, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda kicks off our Porch 20 celebration by walking us through five things he'd tell himself if he could go back.

How is your faith doing? Do you ever feel like echoing the cry of the father in Mark 9 and saying to Jesus, "I believe, but help my unbelief!" This week, guest speaker and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22, Joby Martin, walks us through this passage to remind us of the boldness that comes with faith in the Lord.

Is it possible to follow Jesus and not actually believe in Him? This week, Kylen Perry challenges us to consider whether our belief in Jesus is real dependence or just familiar agreement.

Have we made suffering so much of our identity that we have neglected our belief? The belief that God can and does do the impossible. Using Mark 9, Tyler Moffett shows us that suffering and belief aren't mutually exclusive. There is a cost to be healed: we must stop merely consuming spiritual content and start contending — bringing our deepest brokenness to God with honest, imperfect faith, and trusting that He is more than enough to meet it.

It's easy to grow up around Christianity and begin to believe a lot about Jesus without truly believing in Him. This week, Kylen Perry points to Mark 6 to remind us how Jesus' own hometown was plagued by unbelief because they had reduced the life of Jesus into something mundanely familiar.

The Lord is moving in mighty ways in our generation — and He's doing it worldwide. This week, Kylen Perry and Sarah Jackson, the CEO of the Church Revitalisation Trust in the UK, sit down to discuss how they're seeing young adults seeking the Lord with everything they have.

Do you feel stuck in your own unforgiveness? While we exist in the reality of a broken world and real hurts have been done to us, Tyler Moffett walks us through Genesis 45 & 50 to remind us of the forgiveness that was first extended to us.

Are you stuck in a constant loop of never feeling like you're enough? That's the story of Jacob, who spent his life lying, stealing, and cheating to get what he wanted. However, this week Kylen Perry walks us through Genesis 28 to show us that we can't earn what God came to freely give.

We're constantly overwhelmed with messaging that tells us what we lack and what we need more of—and yet, no matter how much we achieve, we're always left feeling empty-handed. This week, guest speaker Drew Worsham walks us through Philippians 4 to remind us that contentment is not found in better circumstances; it's found in a deeper closeness to Christ.

Do you ever feel like you're being tested? In Genesis 22, we see God test Abraham by asking him for the ultimate sacrifice. As Kylen Perry walks us through this challenging chapter, we begin to see the full picture of the purpose of such a test and how it aligns with God's unfailing character.
