Mumford's Son: 3
A detour from Judges: what can Mumford & Sons teach us about faith outside the walls of the church? From a stadium full of people singing, to love for the other, to a serendipitous connection to Pastor Rob's book — a meditation on doubt, belief, and where the honest stuff actually shows up.

Book of Judges: Tola
Twelve judges, twelve weeks of summer. Pastor Rob Zahn shares a short weekly devotional through the Bible's most violent book. Watch the pattern turn: people forget God, things fall apart, they cry out, God raises a rescuer — then they forget again, each time worse. Not polished superheroes. Messy, unlikely people God uses to rescue.
