The good habits are slipping. The weight feels heavier again. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know this: You don’t need to fake strength to stay faithful. You just need a reset. 🧠Scripture Rese“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10 That doesn’t mean do nothing. It means pause long enough to hear something deeper than your anxiety.

🧠What's Next For Mars Hill?We are moving decisively toward a permanent facility. When we sold our building four years ago, we trusted God’s leading. Now, with energy costs straining many congregations, we can see how He protected us. Instead of pouring funds into rising utilities, we’ve been able to direct resources into people, discipleship, and mission. That choice didn’t set us back. It set us up so we can take the next step with strength, faith, and financial clarity.
