How to Let the Spirit Transform Your Life (The Wild Invitation Study Ep.3)
This week in our Wild Invitation series, we’re walking through Saul’s unforgettable transformation into Paul—a story that reminds us just how powerful a true encounter with Jesus can be. We unpack what it looks like to surrender fully to the Holy Spirit, even in the areas of our lives we’ve held back. Through raw stories and biblical insight, we talk about how real change often begins with humility, obedience, and the courage to say yes. Whether you’re craving deeper faith or wondering if God can still use your gifts, this episode will challenge and comfort you in all the right ways.

How to Build Relationships That Actually Change You (The Wild Invitation Study Ep.2)
Hey FTG Fam! We're tackling Acts 2 this week and the beautiful, radical way the early church lived in community with the Holy Spirit at the center. As we go through Week 2 of The Wild Invitation Bible study, we reflect on what it truly looks like to care for one another, share life sacrificially, and be on mission together. From funny church traditions we’d ditch to the hard-but-holy call to open our hearts and homes, we get real about what a Spirit-filled community looks like in modern life. We for sure don't have all this figured out, but we'd love you to be on the journey with us!
