WILL change how things get done in the workplace. “A.I. Agents” are already managing email addresses, creating social media posts, answering phone calls, and so much more. Businesses are experimenting with the use of A.I. Automation out of fear of getting left behind. A lot has already changed and a lot more is coming.

TreasureCastPreventing Roots of Bitterness Have you seen a tree get blown over and uprooted –or even removed by a large machine? This feat requires immense force, because it has roots that act like anchors, reaching deep into the soil. Roots are good in their ability to anchor and provide nourishment. But there is another kind of root that can anchor itself and provide unhealthy nourishment to our souls; the root of bitterness. If left to grow, this bitter root can cause sin to cascade and escalate in our lives. It can destroy the church, our relationships, and negatively impact our ability to treasure Ch...

TreasureCastDating and Courting as a Christian (revised) When we look around at the culture in America, as Christians we often reel back in shock and horror at the practices happening around us—especially in how the world approaches dating and its close relative, “hook-up culture.” It seems like a free-for-all, with little to no oversight outside the church—and sometimes even within it. As Christians, we cannot accept the world’s approach to dating. But what should we do? How should we view relationships with the opposite sex before marriage? Should we date? Should we do something else, like courting? And what exactly is courting? Join Pastors Ri...

TreasureCastA Biblical Perspective on Hobbies & Leisure Activity God created man in his image, and He made us to work in different ways as men and women. Work is what we do primarily to provide for ourselves or others that we are in some way responsible for. But what about the time we spend not working?

Are there things that Christians should avoid, and if so, why? Join Pastors Erdman, Jantz and Hacker as they take a deeper dive into one of the subjects tha...

Together, they explore how these groups help believers grow in faith, be discipled, and live out the Bible's commands in everyday life —commands that are impossible to fulfill alone.We'd...
