Many believers are exhausted—not because they’re failing, but because they’re still trying to live toward God instead of from the Christ who lives within them. This message invites you to rebuild on the finished work, embrace real rest, and discover the well of life already inside you.
This week at The Gathering we explored rest as covenant—not inactivity, but the bridal readiness that makes us a dwelling place for God. After a time of silent beholding, the room shared vivid confirmations: images of the Lamb, the wedding feast expanding, and the safety of God’s enclosed presence. Here’s the full recap and how to take your next step with The Gathering and Company 318.
What if Sabbath isn’t inactivity but enthronement—Christ’s life reigning through us? From Noah’s dove and rainbow to the priestly rest we’re invited to right now, Genesis points to a single reality: the Kingdom within, enthroning Jesus in the heart until His life, not our striving, flows.
In this week’s message, Leah Ramirez shares a call for mothers and fathers in Colorado Springs to rise as spiritual parents—those who will love, intercede, and stay until the rain falls again. Drawing from Rizpah’s vigil in 2 Samuel 21, this message invites believers to become rooted in grace, build family through small groups, and embody steadfast love that restores a generation.


In this week’s message at The Gathering, Colorado Springs, Leah Ramirez shares “Saying Yes to Freedom: Loving Our Neighbors.” Rooted in Matthew 22 and John 3, this teaching explores empathy, union with Christ, and the Gospel as liberation. Through scripture, a powerful dream of freedom, and practical reflection, we are invited to hear Jesus’ words: “You don’t have to stay here.”
