🦋 Letting Go of Control 🦋

Sometimes we cling so tightly to control—our plans, our image, our relationships—that we don’t even realize how exhausted we’ve become. The truth? We were never designed to carry it all.

God says:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up. It means handing the steering wheel back to the One who actually knows where you’re going. When we surrender, we trade anxiety for peace and control for freedom.

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

So often we feel like everything is out of our control or that if we give up control then we will look weak, yet this scripture reminds us that His power rests on us in moments of weakness!

💬 What’s one area in your life you need to release to God this week?

Join us tomorrow night at 6:30pm in the overflow at Lake City Church as we dive into letting go of control and surrendering it to the Lord!

✨ Last night, Mr. Larry shared such a powerful message on anxious thoughts.

We all face moments that feel overwhelming—storms that shake us and make us worry. But the question is: How do you handle situations that make you anxious or uncomfortable?

In Matthew 8:23–27, the disciples panicked in the storm while Jesus slept peacefully. With just a word, He calmed the winds and waves. 🌊✝️
It was a reminder that even when our world feels chaotic, Jesus has the power to bring peace.

👉 What storm are you facing right now that you need to surrender to Him?

Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) — “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”

🖤 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month 🖤

Sometimes the weight feels too heavy. Sometimes the lies in our head feel louder than the truth. But hear this: your life matters. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. You are deeply loved. 💛

God says:
✨ “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

✨ “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

✨ “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10

If you’re struggling with thoughts of su***de, know this: it is okay to not be okay, but it’s not okay to stay silent. Reach out. Talk to someone you trust. Let’s carry each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).

At the Landing we create a safe space where teens know its okay to talk about their struggles and the pressures they face. Monday nights our teens can lay their weight at the door because they are fully seen and fully loved. There is no more excuse to keep it all bottled up inside. We've got your back!

📞 If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call or text 988 – you are never alone.

🚨 WAR CRY 🚨

Declare it with authority:

I am not my past.
I am not my shame.
I am who God says I am.

I am chosen.
I am forgiven.
I am free.
I am redeemed.

Shame has no power over me.
The blood of Jesus covers me.
The Spirit of God fills me.
The Word of God defines me.

🔥 Romans 8:1 — There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

This is my war cry. I am free in Jesus’ name! 🙌

We talked about baggage a few weeks ago, and I was thinking about ALL those layers Mr. Jacob put on.

Some of the layers he put on on all by himself.
Others, Mrs. Kadie actually helped him put on. It reminded me of the importance of our friend groups and to be sure that the friend surrounding you are not the reason you carry extra baggage.

For teens, baggage can look like:

The pressure of living up to everyone’s expectations 🎒
Broken friendships or family struggles 💔
The weight of mistakes you can’t stop replaying in your head 🔄
Hidden hurts you’ve never told anyone about 🤐

We learned this, but I want to remind you that the Bible tells us we don’t have to carry it alone.
👉 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7

Jesus doesn’t ask you to ignore your baggage. He invites you to lay it down at His feet. When we do, He gives us something better in return: peace, freedom, and strength to keep going.

🔥 at the Landing we talk about how to identify the baggage we carry and how to drop it off with God—because you were never meant to carry it forever.

Hard conversations bring growth. Lets talk about it! Join us for our next topic on September 8th at 6:30 in the Overflow at Lake City Church

👓 The lens you wear changes everything.

Shame’s lens whispers: You’re ruined. You don’t belong.

Conviction’s lens declares: You’re forgiven. You’re chosen. You’re redeemed.

The same situation looks completely different depending on the lens.
Today, ask yourself: Which lens am I seeing through?

"I wish I wasn't popular."
"I wish I had friends"
"I wish someone liked me"
"Its just easier by myself."
"Everyone sucks so I just keep to myself."
"No one understands me."

These phrases may sound familiar. In fact, isolation is common in all ages. Tonight, we are going to discuss isolation versus being set apart. You are not meant to cave on your morales, values, or beliefs in order to gain friends, popularity, or approval. At the same time, community can help us grow-- if its the right people.

Come hang out with us, tonight, in the Landing. We are talking about the hard things that so many of us face!

🎶 “I just wanna be honest…” 🎶
That lyric from Honest by Leanna Crawford hits deep, doesn’t it?

Being honest with ourselves, with others, and with God can feel scary—like people might not like the real us. But the truth is, hiding only keeps us stuck.

God already knows everything about us… and He still chooses us. 💙

📖 “You desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.” — Psalm 51:6

At The Landing, honesty isn’t weakness—it’s the first step toward healing. When we admit what’s really going on, we give God room to step in and change our story. Come out tonight as Mrs. Kadie is teaching on what it looks like to be honest with ourselves and others.

👉 What’s one thing you can be honest about this week—with God, a friend, or even yourself?
