Hey Central Young Adults! Join us on January 27th at Connors Hill for week 2 of “How to Wreck Everything You Love.”

“How to Wreck Everything You Love” is a raw, no-filter journey into what happens when you take Jesus’ Beatitudes and intentionally live the opposite of them. This series exposes the slow, subtle habits that sabotage your relationships, corrode your heart, and quietly dismantle your community—pride instead of humility, bitterness instead of mercy, chaos instead of peace. It’s uncomfortable on purpose. We’re naming the attitudes that destroy us so we can finally see why Jesus’ way isn’t just good advice—it’s the only path that doesn’t end in ruins.

Questions? Talk to Graydon!

You are invited to the study “Nothing Wasted” by Kasey van Norman. Kasey takes the pressure off of outing our past, instead revealing God as the perfecter of everything that brings us shame or pain. God does not care if we are the reason for or the recipient of our messes—he wants us to understand the magnitude of receiving his grace and trust him to transform our pain into something glorious! With God, nothing is wasted.

We will dig into this study through both videos and book discussion over the course of 6 weeks. Then, on the 7th week, we will gather for a fellowship brunch! We’ll meet at Connors Hill on Tuesdays from 10am to noon, starting January 27.

Registration is open. Register using the link HERE, and please indicate whether you’d like us to order you a copy of the study book. In order to receive your book in time for the start of the study, please register by January 13.
