It's that time of year. Lose weight, start a gratitude journal, learn a new hobby, read a new book, finally plan that trip you always wanted to take. Oh yeah, and finally become perfect in every way.

During the holidays, we have lots of opportunities to engage others beyond the surface conversations we normally have with them. So what would it look like to fearlessly engage them, paying ridiculous attention to their nuances and calling out their story? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at examples in the Gospels where Jesus digs past the surface with others. Have you joined the Pigs?

The holidays are meant to be filled with joy, yet they can also bring a lot of stress and pressure. What would it look like to start being an “apprecianado,” a person who pays so much attention to something that they can discern and delight in the nuances of it? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at Matthew 6:19-34 to explore the ways that Jesus lived as an “apprecianado.” Have you joined the Pigs?

Jesus has a transformational presence that can radiate healing and salvation. Instead of wondering what Jesus would do, let’s try to understand the importance behind where would Jesus be. What would it look like for us to start carrying the presence of Jesus with us? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at Luke 8:40-56 to explore the way Jesus offers his presence to us. Have you joined the Pigs?

Christmas is supposed to be a season full of peace and goodwill as we celebrate the Savior’s physical arrival into this world. So why are we often bombarded with feelings of pressure and extreme stress? We know Advent’s not supposed to be this way, but how do we change it? Join Rick and Steph in the first episode of a month-long pursuit of the heart of Advent while seeking to draw near to Jesus. Seeking relief from Christmas stress, we’ll examine three examples of how Jesus responded to people facing stressful situations. Have you joined the Pigs?

When something is beyond our control, our initial reaction to this is one filled with fear. Yet, during these times, our dependence on Jesus is what helps us through. What would it look like to start “scaring” ourselves in a good way, so that we can grow closer to Jesus? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the Gospels, we’ll look at examples of how Jesus guides others when they’re experiencing fear. Have you joined the Pigs?

The unknown. It causes anxiety, makes us uncomfortable and often downright fearful. While it can be hard to let go of our desire for certainty, could embracing the unknown help us deepen our relationship with Jesus by making us more dependent on him?

Diving into Matthew 10:5-19, they’ll explore what a posture of dependence looks like in a relationship with Jesus. Have you joined the Pigs?

From our deepest fears to our own self-image, we all have ideas of what we consider to be true. While these may hold an element of truth, most can be distorted. What would it look like to slow down and start using Jesus as a filter when it comes to the truth? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into real-world examples, we’ll look at how Jesus can redefine truth for us.

Critical thinking has become a quaint habit of a bygone era. In its absence, assumptions and partial truths can run amok, compromising the freedom Jesus offers to us. But what would it look like to start pushing back against these false beliefs? Jesus shows us how. Join Rick Lawrence and Stephanie Hillberry as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the “Beatitudes,” we’ll explore common cultural beliefs and practices that Jesus outs as “false-givens.” Have you joined the Pigs?

When we think about Jesus, we generally rely on popular assumptions made about him. Often times people think Jesus was a “good teacher” or a “really good person.” How would these assumptions change if we started critically thinking about what Jesus did and didn’t do? Join Rick and his daughter Lucy as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the Gospels, we’ll look at what Jesus did and didn’t do when he healed people. Have you joined the Pigs?

When we asked young adults all over the United States to describe Jesus, their most popular description is that Jesus was a “nice guy.” When we consider Jesus’ encounters, we are either forgetting or maybe never really knowing Jesus. What would it look like to stop imagining and start remembering Jesus? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the Gospels, we’ll examine different encounters where we have forgotten how Jesus really acted. Have you joined the Pigs?

At the end of every show and magazine issue, Oprah asked this question to her guests, “What’s one thing you know for sure?” Using this simple practice, what would it look like to ask this question about Jesus in our Bible studies and our lives? Join Rick and Becky as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into John 17, let’s look at the things we know for sure about Jesus, based only on this passage. Have you joined the Pigs? We’re a group of friends ready to go all-in with Jesus—to live a life that’s “free indeed” because we’re wholly dependent on him. Join us for exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, opportunities to make your voice matter, prayer support, and connections to other Pigs inside our private Facebook group.
