Orchard Conversations

Lead Pastor Scott Hodge reminds us that death is a part of new life and as Resurrection people, we find that new life through Jesus Christ. 

Lead Pastor Scott Hodge and the Orchard Leadership Team have a conversation as this chapter in the Orchard's story comes to a close.

Our Lenten journey continues with Anna Hammond inviting us to reflect on the story of the Prodigal Son. We are reminded that our journey toward wholeness is not a straight line and it's never too late to rediscover the lost things in our lives.

QUESTIONS FOR CONTEMPLATION AND CONVERSATION:
Where in your life do you sense God longing to gather you — to hold you, love you, remind you that you belong? What would it look like to stop running and let yourself be gathered? And what’s one small way you can say “yes” to that invitation this week?
What are the “foxes” in your life right now — the fears, distractions, or voices that keep you from trusting God’s love? What do those voices sound like, and where do they show up? And how might you gently turn toward God’s voice of love instead? What helps you hear that voice?

This week, we’re talking about the struggle to feel worthy, seen, and enough—and how the Transfiguration invites us to stop striving and start seeing ourselves clearly. What if transformation isn’t about becoming someone new, but about uncovering the light that’s already within you?

QUESTIONS FOR CONTEMPLATION AND CONVERSATION:
Where are you at war with yourself?
Where is the war stopping you from taking action and responding to the call in your life?
Where are you trying to fit into someone else's idea of success or joy?
