Emotions Are Indicators, Not Dictators | The CLC Commute
Why do so many of us know what the Bible says about joy and still don't have it? This week, our lead pastors reflect on Sunday's message from guest speaker Dr. Gary Oliver and talk about how joy isn't something you feel your way into but something you choose. They look at joy as a fruit of the Spirit that grows over time, how to handle the "squirrel thoughts" that steal it, and why our emotions are meant to be indicators, not dictators. If you're heading into the holidays carrying grief or heaviness, stay to the end for Dr. Oliver's seven-day challenge to choose joy, starting today.

Don’t Hang Up the Harp: Finding Resolve in Babylon | The CLC Commute
Daniel served four kings across three empires over 65 years, in a culture that never shared his faith, so how did he stay faithful, and what does it really mean to be “loud” about our faith? This week on The CLC Commute, Pastor Grant and Pastor Reggie unpack Daniel 6, the tension between quiet integrity and the moment a line has to be drawn, and a simple two-part test for discernment: does it express love for God, and does it express love for people? They break down shalom, peace as “all components working together,” and what it takes to carry that peace into workplaces and cultures bent on disruption. Then they tackle the hardest question of all: how do you keep showing up when the promise may take 70 years, and why Psalm 137’s temptation to hang up the harp matters for your hardest season. If you’re living in Babylon right now, keep the window open, keep singing, and don’t hang up the harp.

Don’t Unpack Your Bags? The Danger of False Hope | The CLC Commute
What do you do when you’re stuck in a season you never wanted, and someone promises you’ll be out in two years? In this episode, Pastors Grant and Afsaneh Roe dig into Jeremiah 28 and 29 and the false prophet whose word of hope sounded great but never came from God. They give practical ways to test what you’re hearing: check it against Scripture, look at the fruit of the messenger, and weigh it in community. They also talk about the God who doesn’t only deliver but also walks with us through the valley. If you’re waiting on God right now, this conversation is a reminder not to live your life in the waiting room.
