Every one around you needs to be loved even the mean people who hurt you,or hurt your friends.lnstead of hurting them back you can choose to be different. Just like Jesus Christ loves you when you don't deserve it,you can show that same kind love to others with your words and action

Hey Connection Co! I wanted to put something on your radar that I think is pretty unique. My friend Ahshuwah is hosting Ignite PDX on September 23–25, and it’s bringing together pastors, ministry leaders, software developers, AI builders, entrepreneurs, designers, and creatives to build practical solutions that can serve the Church. This isn’t a conference where you just sit and listen. It’s a working session where people collaborate on real projects—including an open-source platform designed to benefit churches everywhere. You definitely don’t have to be technical to participate. In fact, some of the most valuable contributions come from ministry leaders who understand the real problems that need solving. As we continue asking how Westside can leverage technology to remove barriers, make disciples more effectively, and serve people better, I think this is worth checking out. If this kind of thing energizes you, I’d encourage you to take a look. 🔗 https://brilliancelabs.org/ignite-pdx Use code MPDX25 for 25% off registration. If you end up registering, let me know—I think it would be fun to have a few of us there representing Westside.

Are you thinking… or just compiling? I’m running a little experiment this week. 👉 The Unassisted Week For my message prep: - No AI - No Google - No screens Just: - Paper Bible - Pen - Notebook - Books Not because analog is better… But because I want to make sure my thinking is still strong enough to stand on its own. Here’s what I’m seeing in leaders (myself included): We’ve gotten really good at: - Searching fast - Compiling ideas - Producing quickly But we might be losing: - Depth - Clarity - Discernment And that’s dangerous. Because if you’re not careful, you start:👉 trusting tools more than your thinking👉 borrowing clarity instead of developing conviction Scripture says:We have the mind of Christ.The Holy Spirit is our guide. So here’s the tension: Are we actually using that…
or defaulting to tools because they’re faster? I’m not anti-AI. I use it all the time. But I refuse to let it sit in the driver’s seat. Your challenge (if you’re in): Before you search this week… ➡️ Sit with the text➡️ Write your own thoughts➡️ Process first THEN go to tools. I want to hear from you: 💬 Could you go fully unassisted for a week? 💬 What would be hardest about it? 💬 Where do you feel most dependent right now? 👇 Watch the video and jump in: This isn’t about being old school. It’s about thinking at a higher level again.

Hey guys, we are renting space out strategically to a Christ centered church that's looking for stability. Share with anyone you know.

Here's a quick hit on what to do this week to make the most of your Easter Momentum:
