Relationship Seminar Night 2 Notes!

Here’s the notes I got during night 2 of our young adult ministry’s Relationship Seminar @bridge.theway ! @nickbrennt and @emilybrennt kept it very practical and foundational! It starts with living for Christ, then living like Him, and being willing to sacrifice like He did as well. It was a great night all around last night!❤️‍🔥🙌

No words, just a lot of tears of joy, laughter, celebration, and passion. All the good stuff to remind you God gifts us pieces of heaven on earth, we just have to want it enough to show up
And once we see it,
That’s when we’ve gotta go multiply it;
Jesus is worth both the gathering and the going, and the being loud about Him along the way
And the people you get to run with are pretty amazing too

The Send Conference this weekend was a DREAM! So thankful to the Lord for all He did in our lives! @thesend

In a place where many would say it’s impossible. In one of the most convenient and comfortable places to live on earth. A generation gathered to say Yes to go anywhere and do anything for Jesus no matter the cost!

The Church is very much ALIVE in California!

2 years of building together.
600+ churches.
5000+ gathered.

All for Jesus and joining Him in His mission to reach a generation with His love!

1500+ committed to reach their campuses, neighborhoods, the nations and vulnerable children.

I feel so privileged to be a part of the team working to make this vision a reality. And I want to thank every pastor, leader and partner who believed with us to make it possible!

We are just getting started!

Messick Family Life Update!🌟

We’re MOVING!! After 14 years on the Golden Coast of California, our family is taking our next steps in life and moving east! This weekend, we will begin our journey to our new home and ministry in Virginia. We have accepted positions at Chip’s home church, which we cherish and deeply believe in, as middle school youth pastors!

There are too many words to share in this tiny post about the treasured memories, people, experiences California has brought my life—how do you sum up 14 years???? All I can say now is that when I was a young girl I would dream of a life in California. This place had always called me. I can only believe it was God preparing me for my life to come. At 19, I was given an opportunity to play soccer at Westmont College, and my dream became my home. Quickly, my home became a part of me. After i graduated, I got a job working at a tiny church in Laguna Beach, which launched me into my full time career in youth ministry, and where I met YWAMers for the first time. After meeting them, I felt God calling me to the mission field. After 6 months of DTS in Hawaii & Norway, I returned to Orange County, as a full time missionary with Circuit Riders. This is the environment God used to shape my purpose, passions, and leadership gifting. I met my best friends, my husband, and traveled to dozens of nations to share about Jesus with the lost. I got engaged, married, and birthed my daughter in this place. Experienced loss and grief and victory. I was given permission to be myself, to dream, to catalyze, to use my voice. No place or ministry is perfect, and I’ve navigated hardships along the way, but I truly believe in the vision of this ministry and would not be who I am today without the leaders who have raised me up, prayed for me, believed in my dreams, and propelled me forward.

I cannot believe our time here has come to an end, and it is a privilege to reflect on what God has done in my life here over the years. California will always be my heart’s home—but for now we follow the Lord to Virginia, start our next ministry assignment as a family, and prepare to welcome our SON this fall!! Glory to glory 🤠

Brian Brennt 🤍

He really was pops. More than a leader, boss, or person you reported to. He was a dad. And an incredible one at that. So many of us were fathered by him in ways that shaped, transformed, rebuked, aligned, and healed us into our original design. It’s like he had an eagle eye and the craziest faith for what was possible in each of our lives; and he believed WILDLY for us to become all that heaven said, even when we feared or doubted. He was dead to religion — like, dead dead. It was unnerving, sometimes offensive, and deeply refreshing. Right when you thought you needed to be put in the penalty box, out came the celebration, complete with ice cream. He relished learning and loved process. And he understood that JOY really is the serious business of heaven.

B changed my life as a broken 22 year old who knew zero percent just how valuable she was to God or what she could possibly offer this earth. And he’s still changing my life today as the messages, speeches, training moments, way he fathered his kids and loved + served Christy, and the pictures in my head of him weeping on his knees in intercession— like he did for a Black American missions movement— still pierce my heart. The fact that my scholarship for my masters degree is named after him is poetic, to say the least. B demonstrated adoptive love, gritty faith, gospel action, and permission granted. I loved him dearly and miss him immensely.

Coach. Pops. Snackman. Friend.
He wasn’t perfect but he gave his all;
rich in mercy, lavish in love.
His legacy lives on,
in a company of people given fully to the Gospel.

(swipe to the end to see what it looked like to worship together the week after B passed; it was the live recording for this album)

Walking through the venue and imagining what God might do in this room.

July 23–25, believers from across the nation will gather at the Anaheim Convention Center for THE SEND Conference.

Three days to seek Jesus.

Three days to find clarity in your calling.

Three days to get equipped to respond to the needs of our generation.

Because the greatest challenge facing this generation isn’t a lack of opportunity.

It’s inaction.

THE SEND exists to help ordinary believers move from inspiration to activation.

To stop waiting.

To take responsibility.

To live sent.

If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more than simply attending church and going through the motions, this gathering is for you.

📍 Anaheim Convention Center
📅 July 23–25, 2026

Come be part of what God is doing. Comment SEND to get the details!

We started as a group of friends with a burden we couldn’t shake. We were experiencing a measure of global impact, but the gap between a world reached and a world still waiting weighed on us. Alongside this urgency, we had hope in the simplicity of the solution. Believers who are activated into their missional and evangelistic calling change everything. This is how change happens.

We are 9 years into this journey with The Send, and this friend group keeps growing. Are you ready to respond to the need in our generation?

In July 2026, we are hosting our first 3-day conference in Anaheim, California, and we want to invite you to join us. Maybe you are seeking God about your future, need to be refreshed and encouraged, or simply make a really fun memory with your friends this Summer. Whatever season you’re in, this weekend God has something for you.

You can comment “Send” and we’ll DM you all the details.
