Can you see it…hear it…feel it? The sights and sounds of Christmas are already encroaching with the mad rush of advertisements screaming at us that we need to acquire more stuff. But what if all of this bombardment of advertising was not the real issue? What if all of that is simply a litmus test for what is already within us? What if it simply exposes the truth of what we’re desperately longing for and the anxiety we feel about how much money we spend, or how many people we’re willing to step over just to get what we want? What if we are the issue that really needs to be solved this year and not the advertising? People everywhere are longing for a different kind of life than the one that can be bought in a holiday season.

I’m so excited to for the new series we’re launching this weekend, Obsessed, where we get to consider moving from selfishness to selflessness. As a people, we discover more joy, more hope and more freedom when the world and our stuff doesn’t own us but we get to give courageously and generously to the world around us. This will be a great series to invite friends who are looking for a way to make sense of a crazy world filled with obsessions. I look forward seeing you guys this weekend. Don’t forget to bring back all of those bags and spend some time serving as we “tag, bag and serve” together.

Peace,
Kyle
