“We can be blind to the obvious, and we are also blind to our blindness.” - Daniel Kahneman

Have you ever felt like faith should be simpler than it seems? Like somewhere between Sunday school and adult life, following Jesus became complicated with unspoken rules, cultural expectations, and inherited assumptions about how God works? You're not alone. Many of us carry beliefs about faith we've never examined—ideas that shape how we see God, ourselves, and what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

In Matthew 11-12, Jesus speaks with people just like us—people trying their best but exhausted by religion, people with genuine questions about God, people who thought they understood faith until life got complicated. Through encounters with a doubting prophet, debates about rest and healing, and profound teachings about God's kingdom, Jesus gently but firmly clears away the mud that clouds our vision of God. His famous words, "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," aren't just comfort for the tired—they're an invitation to exchange our assumptions for his truth.

This series creates space to examine those long held assumptions. Together, we'll discover that the God revealed in Jesus is often surprisingly different from the God our assumptions have created along the way.
