New Content. New Format. Equipping you to take steps towards Jesus and discover more in Christ.
Episodes
Pastors Tim and Ryan slow down and sit with the Lazarus story, not just the miracle, but the ache around it. If Jesus knows He’s about to raise Lazarus, why does He weep so deeply? We talk through what might be happening in that moment: compassion for Mary and Martha, the weight of death, the pain of disappointment, and even the cost of calling Lazarus back only for him to face life and death again.

Slogans can be comforting until real life presses on them. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim sit down after a full week of VBS to talk about a question almost every Christian has felt at some point: how can I have assurance of salvation without settling for “coffee cup theology”? We dig into why phrases like once saved always saved, faith over fear, and God will never give you more than you can handle often car...
Jesus didn’t pick a quiet moment to explain Himself. He stepped into the middle of the Feast of Tabernacles, surrounded by water rituals and blazing lampstands, and made claims that could not be misunderstood: come to Me for living water, I am the light of the world. That single move helps explain why John 7 feels so dangerous. Some people lean in and believe, while others decide He has to go.
We talk t...

If you’ve ever felt disappointed with God, frustrated with church, or tempted to quietly slip out the side door, John 6 puts words to what’s happening under the surface. We talk about the “vending machine” version of faith where we show up, pay our dues, and expect Jesus to deliver the outcome we want. When life doesn’t cooperate, that transactional approach can turn into offense, burno...
Jesus walks up to a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years and asks a question that feels almost unfair: “Do you want to be made whole?” Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim slow down in John 5 and let that line do its work, because it exposes more than a physical condition. It gets underneath our excuses, our coping habits, and the parts of us that want comfort without surrender.
We talk about the differe...
A father walks about twenty miles uphill with one thought in his head: my son is dying, and I have to get to Jesus. That’s where our conversation in John chapter 4 takes us, and it’s why this Sunday message fit Father’s Day so perfectly. We start earlier in the chapter with the woman at the well and the offer of living water, then zoom out to what Jesus is doing on purpose: breaking through hatred,...
Nicodemus shows up at night with real questions, a real reputation to protect, and a real cost to count and that single detail flips the way we think about faith. Some people meet Jesus in a moment. Others walk toward the Light slowly, carefully, and honestly. We sit with that tension and ask what it looks like to respect the journey instead of pressuring people into a quick decision that skips the work God is doing...
Nobody has ever been more visible and more lonely at the same time. We start with uncomfortable numbers about social media, filters, and the hidden fear underneath it all: so many of us are desperate to be known, yet terrified that if someone saw the real us, they would walk away. That is the ache behind the masks we wear at work, at home, and even at church.
Then we slow down at the end of John chapter 2, wh...
Isaac asks a question on a mountain that still hits like a punch: “Where is the lamb?” Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim follow that question through the entire storyline of the Bible until it finally gets answered in John 1:29, when John the Baptist points at Jesus and says, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” Not a vague symbol. Not a religious nickname. A claim that the w...
John 1:1-18 looks short on the page, but it’s heavy in the best way. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim sit down to unpack why John’s prologue is “theologically thick” and why reading Scripture on autopilot makes us miss what John is actually saying about Jesus.
We talk through seven core doctrines woven into these opening lines: the Trinity (“the Word was with God, and the Word was God&...
This month Pastor Jared and Charles speak with Ethan Smith about the You're Not the Boss of Me series. What does having control over your emotions but still feeling them look like? Tune in and see what we think!

A quiet kind of courage shows up in the middle of laundry piles, late-night schedules, and the moments where you wonder if any of it is making a difference. Pastor Ryan sits down with a special guest, his wife Joy, to talk candidly about motherhood, the speed of parenting seasons, and the pressure to look like you have it all together. We share what we hope our kids remember someday, why grace matters more than perf...
Your emotions can feel like they’re telling the truth, but they’re often just telling the loudest story in the room. We talk about why emotions make great servants but terrible bosses, and how Christians can stop living at the mercy of anxiety, guilt, fear, envy, anger, bitterness, and even sorrow without pretending those feelings don’t exist. The goal isn’t an emotionless life, it’s an...
Fear doesn’t usually show up announcing itself. It sneaks in through comparison, through scrolling, through keeping up, through that quiet thought that says, “God might not come through for me.” That’s why we go after a surprising pair in this conversation: envy and fear. They look unrelated, but they often share the same root accusation against God. When we believe that lie, our emotions sto...
Your emotions can feel like facts when they hit hard enough, and that’s exactly why they can’t be the ones steering your life. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim sit down for a candid Midweek Podcast conversation about emotional strongholds, the guilt and anxiety loop, and the difference between a feeling that is real and a feeling that is true.
We share a simple picture that sticks: build walls of ...
One week the crowd lays down cloaks and shouts “Hosanna.” A few days later the chant turns into “Crucify.” That swing isn’t just ancient history, it’s a snapshot of how quickly our hopes can harden when God doesn’t follow our script. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim kick off The Reveal Easter series by unpacking Palm Sunday expectations and the deeper question underneath them: are...
Your faith can be real and still feel out of sync. That’s why we love the “In The Shop” picture: sometimes you don’t need a brand-new life, you need a spiritual tune-up. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim close the series by shifting from the big idea to the daily practices that actually keep Jesus first, not just on Sunday but in the pressure of work, family, and nonstop schedules.
We dig int...
Drift doesn’t usually start with rebellion. It starts with distraction. One day your mind is more formed by business news, headlines, and endless scrolling than by the voice of God, and you don’t even notice until the warning lights come on. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim talk honestly about how that happens, why we can’t stay “neutral,” and how spiritual disciplines act like a simple maint...
