Live The Story, Tell The Story // Luke 5:27-32

In this week’s message, Pastor Christian shares reflections from his recent time in France — a yearly pilgrimage of silence, prayer, and mission that reminds us how deeply our souls need rest and restoration in God’s presence.

Drawing from Luke 5, this message challenges us to follow the example of Jesus: to withdraw to quiet places so we can see people the way He does — the overlooked, the outcast, the ones everyone else ignores.

Christian weaves in the powerful true story of Hugh Hefner’s unexpected encounter with grace — and what it reveals about our deep hunger for real love and the relentless pursuit of God’s love for every soul.

At the heart of this message is an invitation: find your “lonely place,” sit in the silence, let your soul be restored — and then open your table, share your story, and tell His story. It’s not about perfection but about living a life formed and sent — becoming disruptive disciples who trust God’s story and tell it boldly.
