Episodes
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...

Ready to breathe again? We’re putting the car in the shop before Easter to realign what matters most: making Jesus our first love and clearing the clogged drain of unforgiveness that keeps peace, prayer, and joy from flowing. With honest stories, practical steps, and straight talk from scripture, we unpack why forgiveness is commanded, how reconciliation works when both parties engage, and why restitution is h...
We run a spiritual diagnostic before Easter, asking what truly reigns in our hearts and why obedience stops feeling like loss when the kingdom becomes our supreme value. We move from adding more church tasks to choosing Jesus first and letting everything else realign.

• discovery over sacrifice as the path to joy
• how distractions and marketi...
Ever wonder what kind of life makes heaven take notice? We walk through the finale of our Marvel series and add a special episode on integrity, showing why steady faith, honest habits, and a right heart matter more than any mountaintop moment. From faith and obedience to humility, worship, repentance, and a heart postured for blessing, we connect the dots to a single thread: God delights in consistency. Then we turn...

Snow shut us in, but it opened a door to talk about compassion with boundaries and humility that keeps God at the center. We reframe the Widow’s Two Mites, unpack our Compassion Fund, and name practical habits that resist pride while serving real needs.

• the Widow’s Two Mites as a model of mercy

What if your life had nothing to hide—no low-grade guilt, no secret compromises, no dread of being found out? Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim map a clear path toward that kind of freedom by connecting faith, obedience, and righteousness as one living rhythm: say yes to Jesus and your heart, habits, and horizon begin to change. This isn’t about earning salvation; it’s about receiving the Spirit’s g...
