In human terms, we can love someone and expect very little of them. What do you expect of God? Dave Clayton delivers a compelling message from Isaiah 40, urging us to elevate our expectations of God. Originally delivered for Ethos Church in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 12, 2020, as area churches prayed and fasted together during “Awaken Nashville.” Through personal stories and biblical insights Dave illustrates how we often love God but expect little from him. He challenges us to believe in God's infinite goodness, strength, and creativity. Explore how to actively hope, trust, and wait on the Lord, expecting him to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.

Join Dave Clayton as he delves into John 17 and what it means to know God and the essence of truly knowing God, not just knowing about him. Originally delivered for Ethos Church meeting virtually in Nashville, Tennessee, on July 26, 2020, this message challenges us to move beyond superficial knowledge and into a genuine, intimate relationship with God. Drawing on personal experiences and biblical insights, Dave explores the theology of knowing God and the practical side of knowing God: how our daily surrender, solitude, community, and mission can transform our spiritual journey. This message can stir your soul and bring you closer to the heart of God.

Theologian Christos Yannaras declares that Western culture rests on the foundation of seeking truth as the highest goal. We see this among theologians and philosophers alike, from both pre-Christian and Christian eras, from Aristotle to Augustine. However, the default pursuit of people today is utility, not truth.
How has this affected our lives and our churches?
The impact on our lives and our churches is significant. Embrace theology, which is the highest truth, not utility for your life and ministry. In this session, Chad Harrington inspires and instructs on this topic and unpacks how a theological approach, as opposed to a pragmatic-first approach, can breathe life into your ministry.
