Finding Our Bearings in a Disorienting World
Life moves fast—and some days, it feels like it’s moving in all directions at once. One minute you're laughing, and the next you’re hit with unexpected news that causes immeasurable stress, disruption, or heartache.
Like a ping pong ball bouncing from joy to sorrow and back again, it’s easy to feel tossed around and spiritually disoriented sometimes.
Maybe you’ve felt something similar yourself at any scale…
This sense of disorientation isn’t rare—it’s part of our everyday lives. And if you’re looking for a church in Alpharetta that speaks honestly to the messiness of life, we want to walk alongside you.
At Living Fellowship Church in Alpharetta, we believe God offers more than momentary relief. He gives us true orientation—a foundation that holds firm even when life doesn’t. Psalm 1 describes this beautifully: those rooted in the Lord are like trees planted by streams of water, flourishing in every season. But when we’re unanchored, we’re like chaff blown by the wind—shaken and scattered.
Our souls need something stronger than self-help or better planning.
We need the steady, anchoring presence of God. And that’s exactly what the Psalms offer.
The Psalms give us language for our disorientation, hope for reorientation, and an invitation to meet the Lord in every season—whether you're rejoicing or lamenting. They remind us that we’re not alone in the fray, and we’re not left to figure it out on our own.
Over the next three months at Living Fellowship, we’re launching a new series: Songs for Singing in Every Season (Orientation, Disorientation, and Re-Orientation)
In this series, we’ll explore how the Psalms speak directly to the rhythms of real life—right here in our local Alpharetta community:
Orientation – Psalms that celebrate the goodness, order, and beauty of life with God.
Disorientation – Psalms of lament and confusion, giving voice to our pain and uncertainty.
Re-Orientation – Psalms that testify to God’s renewal, rescue, and surprising joy.
Whether you’ve been attending church your whole life or you’re just beginning to explore faith again, we invite you to come discover the beauty and honesty of Scripture with us. Our Alpharetta church family gathers not to pretend life is perfect, but to worship the One who is present in every high and low—Christ Jesus, our Good Shepherd.
He meets us in our shadows, leads us to green pastures, and reorients our lives around His grace.
Join us in-person in Alpharetta each Sunday as we walk through this powerful series together.
Let’s anchor our hearts in the Psalms—and in the God who never changes.
