Gateway Church Austin

You were created on purpose and with a purpose. A relationship with God allows you to make the most of every good and bad experience life throws at us. Walking by faith is not always easy, but it’s a life most worth living. Discover how setting aside the instant gratification of today can enable us to accomplish a mission that’s far greater than we could imagine.

He’s also the Founder and CEO of Growing Leaders, a non-profit team that equips students & young professionals around the world to become life-giving leaders. Author of the well known Habitudes: Images that Form Leadership Habits and Attitudes and Generation Z Unfiltered: Facing Nine Hidden Challenges of the Most Anxious Population, rather than hearing his story, he is going to help us understand the emerging story of the next generation.

This Sunday, “Sledge” is coming back to Gateway! Long-time Gatewayers know how compelling and hilarious Sledge is as a speaker. You may also know him from his work on Medium.com where he writes primarily on mental health. His new book Where Cowards Go To Die, is a memoir from his time serving in the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. His book “cuts through the bravado to reveal a brutal portrait of war and the cost of returning to a country that no longer feels like home.”

Dr. Salviander shares her story of exploring faith as an atheist and scientist.

We all love a great story, and this summer we’ve got some great ones to share! We have an unlikely pretzel maker, an astrophysicist, a war veteran, and an expert in Generation Z. Each week you and those you invite will be inspired and even more equipped to live your great story! This week we have the incredible story of grace from Anne Beiler the founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels.

The Church is not a service or a building. The church is actually the people who come together to follow Jesus. As our nation celebrates our independence on July 4th, Gateway Church will be mobilized throughout the city to love our neighbor. Whether by serving those in need, hosting a party, helping at a neighborhood parade, or inviting friends over to watch the Online Inspire Service, this Sunday the Church has left the building!

When asked to choose the most important and greatest commandment, Jesus pointed towards loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself. He summarized all 613 commandments in the Hebrew Scriptures into these two interconnected ideas. The world is a better place when we decide to love our neighbors.

Happy Father's Day from Gateway Church in Austin, Tx!

Everyone needs/wants more money, time, and energy. What if the ways the world teaches us to “gain more” are not actually going to help us “experience more?” God’s ways and all God says about living generously shows that “more” is a matter of the heart. God gives us resources to teach our hearts how to love Him and love people.

In a fast-growing city or county, it can be easy to get lost in the crowd and experience loneliness. We need to be intentional about engaging in a community that is both confessional and missional. A confessional community allows you to share your heart and struggles. Being missional means seeking to B.L.E.S.S. our neighbors on our own and together as a community.

God speaks to us and reveals His character through the Scriptures. When we discover how to read and apply the Bible, we learn how to hear God’s Word to us. There are specific ways to engage the Scriptures in order to discover what God has for us.

God is everywhere! Even more miraculous, the Spirit of God comes to guide all who follow Jesus. We can discover what God has for us in the future and the wisdom we need now when we learn how to “keep in step with the Spirit.”

Spiritual alignment is the bedrock on which all else is built in marriage, partnerships, and friendships. Spiritual growth in the same direction connects you to the Source of love, and helps you learn to lay down your life for the other, to sacrifice, to serve, even when it’s not “better for you” because you’re doing it to please God.

Mothers play a critical role in setting the culture and the dynamics in their families. Every relationship must address the reality that no family is perfect, or the perfect model. Discover how to create healthy family dynamics by considering the dysfunctional examples from our own childhood while creating something new.

This week, Kenny Green of Gateway Church’s Central Campus and Jesse Sampson of Gateway Buda share their parenthood experiences, how they have cultivated healthy family dynamics, and how to lead where dysfunction, self-healing, shame and love meet.

Every close relationship has conflict and relational breaks. The difference between healthy, lasting loving relationships and those that don’t last or do well is not how often they have conflict (or relational breaks) it’s how quickly they can repair those breaks and get back to growing their enjoyment of life together.

In this bonus episode of Healthy Relationships, Ricky Echeona interviews Hannah Ojeda and Eric Bryant from Gateway Church in South Austin. This week’s episode is all about approaching conflict in relationships and how to practice grace and forgiveness.

Relationships get complicated! Communication is the backbone of any lasting marriage, friendship, or close relationship. Intimacy is all about knowing and being known, but that requires healthy communication.
