In this special episode you will get to hear from Paul Shafer and Shanna Garcia. Typically this time of year you will hear pastors speaking of the Christmas story out of one of the Gospel accounts, but the truth is that you can find the miracle of Christ's birth in many different books of the Bible. In this conversation between Paul and Shanna they show us how Revelation 12 again points us to the miracle birth of the Savior of the world.
We had technical difficulties when recording this talk, therefore we sincerely apologize for the difficulty to hear Shanna when she speaks. -

We've all heard of the phrase; "My cup is Spilling over." Generally that means that things are going great, that life is peachy, and theres not much wrong. But what about when life isn't peachy, when things aren't great, or when your cup is completely empty?
In this talk, Travis gives insight and context to the story of Jesus' first miracle. When our cup feels empty or when life isn't always stacking up how want, we have to remember that The Best is Yet to Come. Even if it's not on our timeline, even if it's not how we would have drawn it up, God is always faithful! -

Is God calling you into something uncomfortable?
The idea of Holy Discontentment can become tricky if the focus isn't on the source of the discontentment. Often times when we feel uncomfortable we look for a way out, but what if God doesn't want you to look for an escape plan. What if God is calling you into something for His Glory not your comfort? -
Are you Content?
Your answer to the question, "Are you Content," may vary depending on the season of life, your financial situation, or your family structure.

In this talk, Travis shows us how people all throughout the Bible dealt with being content. -

We all want to know and chase our purpose in life. The only issue is that there is a growing number of people that aren't exactly sure what their purpose is.

You probably have story that begins with being around great friends, and you probably have a story about when a friend did you wrong.

There are certain traits that we quickly recognize, point out, or even hate in other people but fail to recognize in ourselves. When it comes to entitlement we can all point out who in our life lives, acts, and treats others based on their sense of entitlement but what about us?

In this talk Travis focuses on how Jesus addressed and handled Entitlement in His life. -
We want you at Wilderness, and we want you to partner with Wilderness. However, we don't want to give you the used car sales pitch of what church is like. The reality is that all local churches have some issues, and we certainly aren't exempt from that, but we believe that the "likability" of a church should be decided by core truths found in scripture and the collective pursuit of Jesus.
