Faith doesn’t always shout.

Sometimes, it’s just a whisper — a quiet “yes” when you’re not sure what comes next.

Jesus said that even faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. 🌿

So if all you’ve got this week is a tiny bit of trust, that’s enough. God can grow it into something beautiful.

Radicle + Rooted Week 1 was a total blast! We explored, sang hymns, studied God’s word, ate good food, hiked, bowled, and had so much fun.

Stoked for another year of diving into God’s Word with this incredible crew!

“Martha, Martha… Mary has chosen the better part.”

In busyness, we often forget to pause... to listen, rest, be present.
Try It Today:
Schedule a 15-minute break, no phone, just quiet and a walk.

At a family mealtime, ask everyone one meaningful question.

Instead of racing tasks, choose one “Mary moment” where you slow down and listen to God or someone you love.

Make space for the important things even amid demands.

“Who is my neighbor?”

Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan who showed compassion.

Showing mercy doesn’t require ideal conditions; it requires noticing pain and acting.

See someone left out? Include them.

Use your skills to help: fix, advise, or encourage others.

Every “neighbor” encounter is an opportunity to show genuine love.

What does camp actually look like?
It looks like laughter echoing across the lake.

It looks like real conversations, muddy shoes, and stories shared under stars.

Most of all, it looks like kids being fully themselves — safe, loved, and seen.
Thanks for being part of the story this summer 💙

Jesus sends out the 72: “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few…”

God is inviting you into places where His work is needed. You don’t have to have everything, just willingness.

Notice someone struggling? Offer a quick message: “Thinking of you today.”

Say yes to a small invitation: volunteer, mentor, visit a neighbor.

Do one extra task during your day with a heart of service.

Being sent often starts with a “yes” to small, ordinary moments.

“Who do you say that I am?”

Peter’s answer to Jesus wasn’t just correct... it was personal.
He’d walked with Him, witnessed compassion up close, seen miracles with his own eyes.

That same question echoes today.
And often, we answer not with our words…
but with our reactions, especially in the hard moments.

🗣️ In conflict or tension:
Ask, “What response shows I follow Jesus—someone who leads with truth and kindness?”
Then shift your tone. Adjust your words.

😓 When life unravels:
Ask, “What would someone who trusts Jesus do next?”
Then take one small step. Breathe. Walk. Reset.

Let your life whisper your answer.

Spring 2025: LA Wildfire Relief + More

This spring, Radicle + Rooted students partnered with Samaritan’s Purse to serve neighborhoods devastated by wildfires near Los Angeles.

From hauling debris to praying with homeowners, they stepped into the mess with humble hearts and helping hands.

And yes... after the mission, they hit Disneyland too. 🎢
Because life with Christ includes both purpose and joy.

Radicle + Rooted is about deeper roots, real-life ministry, and unforgettable moments in between.

Camp vibes are strong today! All the silliness, all the fun — that’s @campfirwood !

Luke 9:11b–17
🥖“You give them something to eat.”

The disciples saw five loaves and two fish and panicked.
Jesus saw what could happen when we offer what we have... even when it feels small.

Feel like you don’t have much to give this week? Try offering something simple:

😊A kind word to someone who’s discouraged

💪Doing the chore no one notices

📌Giving someone your full attention instead of multitasking

Don’t wait for a perfect moment or a big stage. Jesus often multiplies the small things we’re willing to surrender.

What you have might not feel like enough, but He can still use it to feed someone’s need.

Not every camper’s story starts the same way.
Some need a little help getting here and that’s where you come in.

Because of generous hearts like yours, more kids are experiencing the joy, friendship, and faith-filled moments that Camp Firwood is all about.

💛 Thank you for making camp possible.

John 16:12–15
🕊️“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth…”

Jesus didn’t expect the disciples to understand everything at once. He promised the Holy Spirit would guide them step by step, and He still does that today.

🤯Overwhelmed by decisions?
Choose to slow down. Ask, “What’s the next honest, wise step I can take?”
Then do just that—send one message, complete one task, have one conversation.

🥴Pressured to respond fast (at work, in parenting, in conflict)? Instead of reacting, take a deep breath. Invite the Spirit to shape your response before you speak or act.

You don’t have to figure everything out. Just take the next faithful step and trust that’s enough for today.

Our awesome Doug’s retirement party was a great success! Thank you to everyone who came to show their love and appreciation for his 30+ years of dedication and service. 🔨

Doug, you will be dearly missed and have left us with some big shoes to fill. We promise not to call too much. Blessings to you and Marie as you embark on this new adventure together. 👞 📞

And yes, if you scroll to the last photo you will see Doug helping set up for his own party. 😆
