The meaning behind Fleetwood Mac's Landslide changes depending on what season of life you're in: changes, growing older, wondering if you can handle what's next. In this episode, Pastor Ben Bergren follows that same question through the story of Moses.

Stop comparing yourself to others·Paul says grace already settled your worth, not your ledger. If you've ever caught yourself keeping score—against a sibling, a coworker, that person from high school on Facebook—you're not alone, and you're not crazy. It's how we're wired. Paul helps us see a better path forward.

Pentecost is the day the Holy Spirit was given to the early church. Nothing has changed God's heart and mind since then. We have the same Spirit and the same mission today.
