Hope For An Anxious Generation

About this series

We’re living in a world shaped by screens—always on, always connected, always pulling at our attention. And at the same time, anxiety is rising across every generation. Hope for an Anxious Generation is a six-week journey into how life in a digital age is forming us—and how the way of Jesus offers a wiser, more grounded way to live within it. Together, we’ll explore simple practices that help us relate differently to our phones, our stress, our relationships, and our pace of life. This isn’t about rejecting technology. It’s about learning how to live human, faithful lives in the middle of it.

About this message

As a new year begins, most of us feel the tension of wanting life to grow in a better direction—without quite knowing how. We’re busy, stretched, distracted, and often carrying more than we realize.

In this message, we explore an ancient idea with surprising relevance: a "rule of life"—the rhythms, habits, and practices that quietly shape who we’re becoming. Through three vivid images—a monastery, a vineyard, and an invitation from Jesus—we’re invited to consider how real fruitfulness doesn’t come from trying harder, but from staying connected and being formed over time.

Jesus’ promise is simple and startling: rest for your soul. This message is an invitation to slow down, remain connected to him, and thoughtfully shape the patterns of your everyday life so that growth happens naturally—from the inside out. Whether you’re feeling weary, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this is a moment to pause and ask: What is forming me—and where is it leading?
