Have you ever realized that somewhere along the way, God slipped quietly into the background of your life? We don't always make a conscious choice to ignore God—but distractions, responsibilities, and even our own spiritual habits can sometimes numb us to His presence. We keep moving. We keep doing. But we stop noticing. That’s why we’re excited to share a new Bible reading plan on YouVersion:“Notice When You’ve Stopped Noticing God” This 5-day plan is a short, honest journey into what it means to pay attention again. It's not about guilt or pressure. It's about invitation. Each day offers Scripture, reflection, and a gentle challenge to open your eyes, slow your pace, and become aware of God’s presence—even in the middle of your real, often chaotic life. Here’s what you can expect: Day 1: Recognize the drift — when good intentions get crowded out. Day 2: Learn to pause without performing. Day 3: Hear God's voice above the noise. Day 4: Reconnect in the ordinary. Day 5: Stay awake to wonder. Whether you're in a dry season or just feeling spiritually distracted, this plan can help you reawaken your attention to the One who's been with you all along. Start the plan today and take a few moments each day to notice—not just ideas about God, but God Himself. 👉 Begin “Notice When You’ve Stopped Noticing God” on YouVersion

It's back! Free Signed copy of The Expectation Gap with an Annual Access Pass!

For a limited time, if you purchase a year Access Pass at $199, we will mail you a personalized and autographed copy of Steve’s latest book The Expectation Gap. In this book, learn how to quiet your inner critic, confront chronic anxiety, and relax into God's perfect presence. Do you truly experience the promises Jesus gave to those who follow him—the benefits of peace, freedom, and love? The fact is that many of us struggle with a gap between what we believe about God and how we encounter him in our everyday lives. We don't want our faith to be merely conceptual—we want to experience it viscerally—and yet we often come up against one or more of these major gaps:   I believe God loves me, but I don't feel it. I believe God is with me, but I don't see him. I thought I'd be further along in my spiritual progress by now. In The Expectation Gap, Steve Cuss—pastor and founder of Capable Life—offers tangible tools for engaging with God in a deeper, more soul-satisfying way. You'll unveil harmful expectations and patterns that keep you spiritually stuck so that you can replace them with habits and practices that will lead to a more vibrant faith life. All you need to do is make an annual Access Pass purchase, and we will send you your signed copy of The Expectation Gap.

Lisa's Zoom is coming up on Monday, February 10th

  February’s first Zoom meeting is coming up this Monday at 9 am M.T.  Lisa Cuss, our licensed therapist, speaker, and trainer, will be joining you to discuss Head beliefs vs. Body Beliefs from a psychological and faith perspective.  There is often a difference between what the head knows/ believes to be true and what the body (gut, heart, nervous system) believes or feels to be true. The gap is sometimes small, but other times, it feels more like a canyon.  And it impacts how we relate, how we lead, and how we experience God.    Reserve your spot with Lisa this Monday to join the discussion, ask questions, and learn some new tools—It’s going to be a great conversation!
