Meagan Francis
When you’re stuck in the middle of your own story, it can be hard to see the big picture - or trust that there’s a greater purpose at play. In this episode we' explored how Jesus managed to get through the worst part of his story, to help us get to the best part of ours.
Mike Koch and the band performed songs by U2, Avett Brothers, Keane, and more.
The Best - John 16
Why do bad things happen to good people?"
It's a question we've all asked at one point or another. However, aren't we really wondering "why do bad things happen to me?" To answer that, we first must wonder... "why do bad things happen at all?" At this Gathering, Paul Knapp wondered aloud how a God we are told is on our side could allow a world where suffering feels inevitable.

Do you have a "must-have" list? We all do to some extent, right?
For the right house, car, partner, school?

THE GREAT REVERSAL
From weathermen to oddsmakers, from political pundits to astrologers, we have no shortage in our culture of those trying to predict the future. It's a tough business.
Yet, near the end of Jesus's life, he didn't shy away from it. Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright explores several of Jesus's predictions and how they could change our lives.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD
We all want a life that flourishes. Jesus had a particular name for that kind of life, and something he believed was a prerequisite to be able to live it.
At Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright considered this prereq for a flourishing life and how it brings us Life.
Mud in your Eye
How do we cope with change? Do we adapt? Adopt? Or, do we Revolt? Give up? Everything is changing SO fast, it is very difficult to know.
Jesus changed things. He revolutionized religion. And lots of folks struggled with this. This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will explore one encounter where Jesus seems to purposely poke the bear to make a very important point about the nature of His revolution.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Adele, Portugal. The Man,
Switchfoot and more.
STORY SUNDAY
At Storyline, we believe stories are a tool to guide us in our life of faith - to stir our hearts toward something we might have missed otherwise.
Jesus shared stories to help anyone listening - follower or not - see a new way. The talks at Storyline's Gathering incorporate stories every week, weaving in music and video clips to bring it all to life. And our community is a collection of people with stories, all worthy of being told.
This Sunday, we'll take time to honor the stories within our community as we continue the tradition of Story Sunday. Fellow Storyliners will share a piece of their story with all of us -
a reminder that God shows up in all sorts of ways for all sorts of people.
