I'm Fine... But Not Really
Behind the front — Where Honesty Meets hope (summer 2025)
Churches frequently talk about creating authentic community where people are comfortable to express their struggles and receive grace-filled encouragement for life’s journey. This series will encourage us to apply that intention by exploring the variety of emotions expressed by writers of the Psalms.
We’ll learn from the psalmists how to be real, and to really connect with our Lord, whatever state we find ourselves in. We’ll explore ways that the church can become a safe place to speak our struggles, how we can confidently be “not fine” in the presence of others at FRC, and how to (re)capture the hope, peace, and praise that psalmists (also) express.

Bible Reading (July 21 - september 5)
We invite you to journey with us through the Psalms this summer as we align our daily reading with our Sunday sermon series, I’m Fine, But Not Really. Each Monday-Friday, you’ll read a Psalm that speaks to the emotional theme explored in the Sunday message, giving voice to sadness, confusion, regret, anxiety, and more, while pointing us toward hope and connection with God.
To help you engage more deeply, you can also sign up for a texting group. These small groups of 4–5 people will read the daily Psalm and share brief reflections or encouragement by text. It’s a simple way to stay accountable and connect meaningfully with others.
Bookmarks with the full Bible Reading Plan are available at the Welcome Center and church office. We hope you’ll join us in this meaningful rhythm of Scripture, honesty, and hope.
