Our mission is to provide hope, provoke thought, and ignite a rebellion against all that is unholy - including the unholy living inside of us.

Every conversation is an invitation: To grow. To question. To transform. Join us in reimagining what it means to truly follow Christ in a world that constantly pulls us away from genuine discipleship.

We're not here to have all the answers. We're here to walk together, seeking Jesus, challenging assumptions, and growing in faith—one story at a time.
