Name: Isaac Berschauer
Camp Name: Zugalati
Position: Operations Assistant
Ministry: Camp Firwood

"What I love the most about Firwood is seeing staff and campers learn to trust God fully in so many new ways each summer. Whether that is for the first time or the hundredth time, it is so life-giving to witness. Camp puts us in a unique place of surrender, and God meets us in that over and over again each summer."
-Isaac

Camp Name: Gonzo
Position: Camp Director
Ministry: Camp Firwood

"I love Camp Firwood because of the unique counselor-centered approach to introducing youth to Jesus. The high-octane, activity-driven program sets up a deep relationship between camper & counselor. Life is shared together, the Bible is opened, & people are changed forever. I still remember the names of all of my Firwood counselors from my camper years. They had a profound impact on my walk with Jesus."

Midweek pause 🌿

Philippians 4:6–7 reminds us that peace isn’t something we earn — it’s something God gives when we trust Him with our worries.

When we bring our needs to Him with thanksgiving, fear loosens its grip and gratitude takes its place.

Take a moment today to breathe, pray, and notice the quiet peace that follows when you choose trust over anxiety.

“Will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night?”
-Luke 18:7

Even when answers seem far off, persistence in prayer builds faith that lasts.

Keep one prayer on repeat this week. God hears, even in the waiting.

Faith doesn’t always shout.

Sometimes, it’s just a whisper — a quiet “yes” when you’re not sure what comes next.

Jesus said that even faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. 🌿

So if all you’ve got this week is a tiny bit of trust, that’s enough. God can grow it into something beautiful.

Radicle + Rooted Week 1 was a total blast! We explored, sang hymns, studied God’s word, ate good food, hiked, bowled, and had so much fun.

Stoked for another year of diving into God’s Word with this incredible crew!

“Martha, Martha… Mary has chosen the better part.”

In busyness, we often forget to pause... to listen, rest, be present.
Try It Today:
Schedule a 15-minute break, no phone, just quiet and a walk.

At a family mealtime, ask everyone one meaningful question.

Instead of racing tasks, choose one “Mary moment” where you slow down and listen to God or someone you love.

Make space for the important things even amid demands.

“Who is my neighbor?”

Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan who showed compassion.

Showing mercy doesn’t require ideal conditions; it requires noticing pain and acting.

See someone left out? Include them.

Use your skills to help: fix, advise, or encourage others.

Every “neighbor” encounter is an opportunity to show genuine love.

What does camp actually look like?
It looks like laughter echoing across the lake.

It looks like real conversations, muddy shoes, and stories shared under stars.

Most of all, it looks like kids being fully themselves — safe, loved, and seen.

Jesus sends out the 72: “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few…”

God is inviting you into places where His work is needed. You don’t have to have everything, just willingness.

Notice someone struggling? Offer a quick message: “Thinking of you today.”

Say yes to a small invitation: volunteer, mentor, visit a neighbor.

Do one extra task during your day with a heart of service.

Being sent often starts with a “yes” to small, ordinary moments.

Happy 4th of July!

From the mountains at the Chalet to the shores of Lake Whatcom—today we’re celebrating the freedom to gather, grow, and build lasting community.

“Who do you say that I am?”

Peter’s answer to Jesus wasn’t just correct... it was personal.
He’d walked with Him, witnessed compassion up close, seen miracles with his own eyes.

That same question echoes today.
And often, we answer not with our words…
but with our reactions, especially in the hard moments.

🗣️ In conflict or tension:
Ask, “What response shows I follow Jesus—someone who leads with truth and kindness?”
Then shift your tone. Adjust your words.

😓 When life unravels:
Ask, “What would someone who trusts Jesus do next?”
Then take one small step. Breathe. Walk. Reset.

Let your life whisper your answer.

Spring 2025: LA Wildfire Relief + More

This spring, Radicle + Rooted students partnered with Samaritan’s Purse to serve neighborhoods devastated by wildfires near Los Angeles.

From hauling debris to praying with homeowners, they stepped into the mess with humble hearts and helping hands.

And yes... after the mission, they hit Disneyland too. 🎢
Because life with Christ includes both purpose and joy.

Radicle + Rooted is about deeper roots, real-life ministry, and unforgettable moments in between.

This is The Firs.

From summer camps to year-round retreats, college-aged discipleship to childhood
wonder... every space we steward is rooted in the same mission:

✨ To create a space where people encounter Jesus and grow in community.

Whether it's laughter on the field at Fircreek, worship on the dock at Firwood, quiet mornings
at The Chalet, or deep discipleship through Radicle + Rooted—this is more than just camp.

It's a place to grow, belong, and be changed.

Camp vibes are strong today! All the silliness, all the fun — that’s @campfirwood !

Camp vibes are strong today! All the silliness, all the fun — that’s @campfirwood !

Luke 9:11b–17
🥖“You give them something to eat.”

The disciples saw five loaves and two fish and panicked.
Jesus saw what could happen when we offer what we have... even when it feels small.

Feel like you don’t have much to give this week? Try offering something simple:

😊A kind word to someone who’s discouraged

💪Doing the chore no one notices

📌Giving someone your full attention instead of multitasking

Don’t wait for a perfect moment or a big stage. Jesus often multiplies the small things we’re willing to surrender.

What you have might not feel like enough, but He can still use it to feed someone’s need.
