This week we welcomed Cody Deese, the pastor of Vinings Lake Church in Atlanta, and author of the incredible new book, "Discovering Your Internal Universe: The Unexpected Good News About Anxiety, Panic, and Fear." In this helpful message, Cody invites us to see anxiety, not as an enemy trying to destroy us, but as an ally trying to help us.

We live in a world that runs on urgency—faster, better, now. But what if the pace we’re chasing is actually pulling us away from what matters most? In this week’s installment of our Cultivate series, Lead Pastor Josh Scott explores the idea of patience, not as passivity, but as a powerful, intentional choice.
Whether you're in a season of uncertainty, navigating change, or just feeling stretched thin, this message will invite you to see patience as a practice that grounds, heals, and reshapes how we move through the world.

As we continue our Cultivate series—a journey into forming a healthy, transformative spirituality—this week we turn our attention to a theme that touches all of us: Community.
Many of us know firsthand the pain of unhealthy community—relationships marked by disconnection, mistrust, or exclusion. But what does a truly healthy, life-giving community look like? And how do we begin to cultivate that kind of space together?

Our "Cultivate" series continues this week! Last week we began by talking about "awareness" as an indispensable key to nurturing a healthy, transformative spirituality. This Sunday we explored the contrast between a spirituality marked by manipulation and control and a spirituality grounded in love.

This week Founding Pastor/Pastor Emeritus Stan Mitchell talked about what is, arguably, the single most important shift in Christian thinking in the past two+ centuries: the move away from Inherent Separation (meaning the idea that we are born separated from God) as our starting point, and the shift toward Inherent Union (meaning that we are born connected in and to God). You don't want to miss this one!

This week in GracePointe 201 we’re exploring the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith—a framework that helps us hold both the grounded, historical reality of Jesus as a person of the past, and the living, abiding experience of Jesus for so many today. For many Christians Jesus is the great exception--somehow able to be like us but infinitely better than us. This Jesus is to be worshipped, but we all know deep down he can not be truly imitated or followed. What if there is another way to see Jesus, not as the exception, but as the rule? What if Jesus represents our potential, an invitation to become everything we can become?

This week at GracePointe we continued our GracePointe 201 series by talking about God. One of our convictions at GracePointe is that "God is a Mystery to be explored, not a doctrine to be espoused." What does that mean, practically? Join us at we explore that question and more!
Listen to “GracePointe 101”.

Several years ago our Founding Pastor, Stan Mitchell, led us through a conversation called “GracePointe 101” that explored our growing understanding of the Bible, God, Jesus, and Church. Beginning this weekend we will build on that work and continue the conversation. because our understanding of the faith journey is that it is always unfinished, unfolding, and in-progress.
This week we began with the Bible. What is the Bible? Does it still matter for us today? How can we approach it with both reverence and reason? Listen in as Josh leads us in that conversation!

Our next installment of our summer series, “Grab Bag,” draws our attention to a series of “blessings” Jesus pronounces in the Gospel of Matthew. Known as “The Beatitudes,” these blessings are announced to people in unlikely situations - we don’t often feel blessed when mourning, hungry, or persecuted, for example. What is Jesus doing with these blessings? What do they teach us about Jesus’s vision for the world? Josh explores this and more in this week's message!

It's time for PRIDE! Each year during Nashville Pride we take some time to reflect on the importance of Pride - what is means and why it matters for a church to celebrate it together. This year we were so fortunate to hear from a panel of our own GPers about what Pride means to them and their journey. This is a powerful conversation that you won't want to miss!

Our summer series, called “Grab Bag,” continued last Sunday with a focus on the New Testament/Christian Scriptures. Just like with the Hebrew Bible, we explored, not just the who, when, and why of these texts, but also the practical questions of why they matter and how we can best engage them.
