Published about 18 hours ago • 3 min read

Happy Humpday, Mars Hill Family,

Some weeks feel like a blur, and before you know it, you’re looking at the weekend again.

In the middle of all the noise, I hope you’ve found a moment to breathe and remember that God is steady even when life isn’t.

I am looking forward to this weekend because Super Sunday is back!

What is Super Sunday?

It’s the one Sunday a month when we all gather in the room together. We stream online every week, but once a month, we pull up in person to worship, connect, and see each other face-to-face.

It’s a different energy when we’re in the building together.

Whether you’re in the Chicago area or watching online, I want you to be part of it.

🙌🏾 Welcome to "Super Sunday"

This weekend, Super Sunday returns, and you’re a crucial part, whether you join in person or online!

What Is Super Sunday?​
Super Sunday is our monthly in-person gathering where the whole Mars Hill Anywhere family comes together with one purpose: to worship, connect, and move forward together.

Why Only Once a Month?​
We’re not shrinking; we’re sharpening.
Meeting monthly lets us:

  • Maximize our time and resources
  • Deliver a powerful worship experience
  • Reach hundreds weekly through digital discipleship
  • Prevent burnout for our leaders and volunteers

What to Expect on Super Sunday

  • A relevant, scripture-based message for real life
  • Powerful worship for all, both in-person and online
  • Real connection with people on the same journey
  • Practical next steps for faith and growth

Missed Sunday's Message?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a season of waiting, waiting for the promotion, the breakthrough, or the next chapter, this message is for you.

Last Sunday, I preached a message titled "Don't Die in the Waiting Room."

We discussed the risk of tying your identity to your title.

If your purpose is tied to your position, then the moment the position shifts, your purpose dies.

But your calling is portable. It doesn't need a specific chair, office, or title to be real.

In this message, we covered:

  • The Waiting Room Trap: Why we think life is on pause just because we aren't where we want to be yet.
  • Portable Calling: How to take your purpose with you, no matter where you are planted.
  • Separating Role from Goal: Why your job is just the station, not the definition of who you are.

I challenged us to stop asking "Where should I work?" and start asking "Who am I while I'm working?"
