Exploring the teachings of Jesus? Trying to determine whether God even exists? Or perhaps you’re a committed Jesus-follower looking for practical, relevant perspectives on Christ’s teachings and the Bible? Whatever your thoughts on church, whatever your beliefs about God, these weekly messages are for you.
Many of us were taught that the Bible is something we have to defend against critics, culture, or even our own doubts. But what if we’re missing the point? In this opening message, we’ll explore why the Bible doesn’t need our protection — it needs our attention. Rather than smoothing over contradictions or anxiously proving its reliability, we’re invited to approach Scripture with humility and joy. This week, we’ll learn to stop de...
Yogi Bera famously quipped, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” There’s something about facing big choices that simultaneously piques our curiosity, while reminding us that we long for security and control. What can we learn from Paul’s dramatic encounter with the Lord on the Road to Damascus about what it looks like to choose Christ?
What's next when your picture of God doesn’t match your experience? In the midst of processing their own disappointment and confusion two travelers encountered Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. Their story reminds us that our journey of faith isn’t about having it all figured out; it’s about walking with Jesus until our eyes are opened to something deeper, fuller, and more alive.
Some roads you never choose: pain, loss, betrayal. But you still find yourself walking them. Jesus did too. We’re talking about how His journey to the cross meets us in our worst moments and gives us something better than just survival; it gives us a way forward.
Buckle up for a summer series through four powerful stories in Scripture! From compassion on the Road to Jericho, to resilience on the Road to Calvary, discovery on the Road to Emmaus, and transformation on the Road to Damascus, these journeys remind us what it means to follow Jesus. Each week, we’ll journey through core elements of discipleship: spending time with Jesus, learning from Him, and becoming more like Him.

Josiah stepped into a world already on fire. The temple was in ruins, the Scriptures were forgotten, and the people had traded purpose for idols. He could’ve coasted. He could’ve inherited the throne, played it safe, and passed the blame. But something inside him broke when he heard the words of the forgotten Scriptures. Josiah shows us what it looks like when someone refuses to be shaped by the past and decides to rewrite the futu...
In the midst of global turmoil, what does it mean to follow the way of Jesus? It's not enough to just love peace – we’re called to make it by committing our allegiance to a kingdom that transcends every border. As headlines fill with conflict, polarization, and competing narratives, our primary identity is not national or political, it’s spiritual. If you’ve ever felt the tension between faith and patriotism, peace and power, ...
Solomon is like that restaurant every TikTok influencer is raving about in LA. The reviews are glowing, the videos look incredible, the hype is off the charts. But then you go, and the food is overpriced, the service is slow, and you leave wondering what everyone else was so excited about. That’s what reading Solomon’s life feels like. You’re told he’s the wisest man who ever lived, but most of what he does feels more tragic than t...
David refuses to leave our cultural imagination, not because he was perfect but because he was profoundly human. He was a warrior and a poet, a king and a failure, a man after God’s own heart who sometimes broke God’s heart. His story lives in us. When we root for the underdog, we’re channeling David facing Goliath. When power shifts hands, we see the shadows of Saul and the rise of a shepherd king. And when we fall, when our desir...
We’re told to follow our hearts, chase our dreams, and write our own story. Self-empowerment is the language of our age. But at what point does that stop being inspiring and start feeling isolating or exhausting? This week, we’re exploring the messages behind hustle culture and radical independence — and why trusting someone wiser than ourselves might not be weakness after all.
In today’s culture, there are all kinds of ways to talk about Jesus: as a life coach, a path to success, a political symbol, or a way to guarantee life after death. But when the focus shifts from Jesus himself to what we can get through him, something subtle but significant changes. This week, we’ll look at four popular versions of Christianity in America and ask a simple but important question: are these still rooted in the way of...
We live in a time when spirituality, wellness, and self-optimization are increasingly intertwined. Mindfulness, breath work, energy, alignment — these practices and ideas offer people a sense of peace and wholeness. But how do they fit with Jesus? Do they complement his way, conflict with it, or do something else entirely? This week is an invitation to explore how ancient practices and modern wellness trends intersect with Christia...
Karma has quietly become one of the most accepted spiritual ideas in the West, even among people who’ve never studied Eastern religions. It’s simple, intuitive, and feels just. But is that what the world is really like? This week, we’ll explore what karma actually teaches, where it resonates with the way of Jesus, and where the two paths begin to diverge.
For many, the idea of God just doesn’t add up. Whether for logical, emotional, or experiential reasons, atheism has become a default setting, especially in the modern West. But what does a world without God actually ask us to believe? And what are the strengths and limitations of that view? This week is an open exploration of the worldview that says, “There’s no one out there… and that’s okay.”
In a global culture where pluralism is often a given, it’s easy to assume that all religions are basically saying the same thing. But is that actually true? This week, we’ll explore the core stories and claims behind some of the world’s major religions — and a few of the stranger ones, too — to see what they have in common, where they differ, and why those differences might matter more than we think.
Easter brings fun memories of egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, and baskets of goodies. But beneath it all - is Easter true? Is the story of a man conquering death and offering us freedom worth believing?
Listen to our discussion about why we choose to follow Jesus.
We read in the New Testament that God is love, and then we read other stories in the Old Testament about God bringing punishment and death and plagues. So, how do we reconcile what seems almost to be a dual personality? Does God act like Jesus dying for his executioners, or is God more like the deity who allowed an angel of death to kill the firstborn children of Egypt? The answer to that question becomes more evident when you unde...
During the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s, Senator Howard Baker posed the question during a hearing, "What did the President know, and when did he know it?" We intuitively understand that the specific knowledge people have and the amount of time they have it can either exonerate or implicate them. What does God know, and when does he know it? It's often said that God is "all-knowing," but what is the ...
For the last several centuries, a troubling philosophical question has haunted Christianity: If God is all good and all-powerful, why is there so much evil in the world? What's fascinating is that this question is never posed in quite this way in the Scriptures. How could Jesus and his followers expect the world to be filled with pain and still believe in a completely loving Creator God? Because they knew something we've ...
Honey badgers are relentless and fearless. They don't give up even when facing off against much larger animals, and they're wicked smart. When it comes to his love for us, God is like a honey badger. He will not be deterred. He keeps pursuing us and trying to help us even when we flee him, curse him, or deny him. We are invited into this ravishing love, and we are invited to share it.
