“You don’t always need to learn something new. You just need to remember what you already know.” - Tim Coop

Forgetfulness is the greatest enemy of our faith

Just because something is uncomfortable doesn’t mean it’s not critical or needed.

CHAOS

“We are either in a storm, leaving a storm, or about to head into one”

Life Cycle:
● Storms happen
● We freak
● Jesus shows up
● We freak again
● We gain perspective
● Storm Subsides
● Calm.
● (Repeat)

“The busier you are, the more important you are”

“Our faith must be walked out, but walked out from a place of sitting with God” - Rich Villodas

Winds and Waves produce MATURITY

“Whatever faith you emerge with at the end of your life is going to be not simply affected by that life, but intimately dependent upon it...if you believe at 50 what you believe at 15, then you have not lived-or have denied the reality of your life” - Christian Wiman

The story of scripture and of the great saints throughout history acknowledges that someone can be supremely FAITHFUL & yet still struggle with FAITH. - Tim Keller

The faith in our “Head” is gained through Knowledge.

The faith in our “Heart” is gained through Storms.

You don’t realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.

Wind and Waves produce EMPATHY

Winds and Waves produce Dependency

People with the DEEPEST DEPENDENCY have been through the DEEPEST waters.

This is not about getting out of the storm. It is about getting Jesus into the boat.
