Guest Bio: Amy is an author, speaker, pastor, wife, and co-ringmaster to her circus of three kids. Through the many face-plants and mudslides in her life, God opened doors for her to write books and to travel and speak, inviting others to discover grace in their daily lives. She is also one of the pastors at Soma City Church in Toledo, OH. As she and her family keep walking on whatever path God has for them, her hope is to use humor and storytelling to anchor people in the truth that God is with us, for us, in us, and working through us.  

Reflect with thankfulness on the gifts God has given you with Exodus 4 tonight. 

It’s astonishing how technology (smartphones, tablets, laptops, GPS, etc.) has influenced our lives–for both good and bad? So, would it surprise you to know that “technology” shows up in the Bible and plays a vital role in God’s story? In this Discover the Word study, the group explores several stories where technology plays a role. And as we study those passages together, we may find wisdom and freedom for how to use tech well in our modern world to draw us closer to God and others. 

In a temporary, uncertain, unstable world, enjoy a few minutes resting in 1 Peter 1:22-25 and the promise that God’s Word remains the same—always.
