How do you know if you’re actually growing spiritually? Most of us measure faith the wrong way: by what we do instead of who we’re becoming. In this episode, Patrick and Keith explore how God measures spiritual growth, why giftedness doesn’t equal godliness, and how focusing on checklists can actually stunt your maturity. You’ll learn what true growth looks like, what the Bible says about godly character, and how to measure your pr...

"Come and die." That’s the call of every Christian. A startling invitation to surrender your life, your plans, and your desires to Jesus. But what would it really look like to give God everything? In this episode, Keith and Patrick dive into the call to surrender, why it’s essential for becoming a saint, and whether surrender is a second-level Christian practice or the foundation of following Jesus. They talk about the fears, plea...

The secret to obeying God isn’t doing more; it’s wanting more. On this episode of Not Just Sunday, Patrick and Keith explore the second step to becoming a saint: developing a genuine hunger for God. They discuss why your desires drive your behavior, how even good things can miscalibrate your heart, and why the secret to obeying God isn’t trying harder, but learning to love him more than anything else. You'll learn how to audit you...

What do you do when you fall into sin... again? Most of us try to fix it, hide it, or pull ourselves up by sheer willpower. But the Bible shows us a different pattern: God always takes the first step. In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack the biblical examples of Adam and Eve, Abraham, David, and the prodigal son to reveal a powerful truth: God always makes the first move. No one gets back up on their own. And it’s always by G...

Have you ever felt like your faith has stalled out? Like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to grow? In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack the surprising (sometimes hidden!) reasons that Christians get stuck and why many quietly give up on the hope of real transformation.

Want to know the #1 reason most people don’t change? They’re not honest... with themselves, with others, or with God. The truth is that change rarely lasts because we often lie to ourselves about where we really are in life. In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick are digging into the surprising barrier that keeps us stuck: self-deception. They explore why honesty, especially radical honesty with God and others, is e...

Death is unavoidable. So, why do most of us do everything we can to ignore it? In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack why living with the end in mind is essential for following Jesus and becoming the person God calls you to be. They share how thinking about the end shapes your priorities, transforms your faith, and motivates you to become a saint one day at a time. They dive into why our culture tends to avoid death talk and ho...

You’ve been rescued by God, but you’re not yet fully resurrected. So, what about the in-between? In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick explore the process of real, lasting change: how it happens, how long it takes, and why it’s so much harder (and slower!) than we expect. They break down the tension between God’s role and our responsibility, and why transformation isn’t about just trying harder; it’s about being t...

What do you think of when you hear the word saint? Catholicism? Mother Teresa? Someone who's "holier-than-thou"? Someone you could never become? In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick challenge the myths around sainthood and unpack what it really means to be a saint in the Christian life. They discuss why sainthood isn't reserved for the spiritually elite, breaking down the two parts of being a saint: who you are an...

Demonic powers and politics? Is this going to be a weird campfire conversation where they share their demon stories? No, quite the opposite! You may have heard this one before! That’s because it’s an older episode, but it’s one of our favorites! And given the political chatter over the last few months, we decided to resurface it and revisit a conversation on the reality of demonic and dark spiritual forces at work in the political ...

“Create wealthy, autonomous consumption machines.” That’s been described as the end goal of the American dream. Sounds positive at face value. But is it biblical?

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
