Here I Am, Send Me | Why Following Jesus Means to Reject The Ordinary

October 5, 2025 • 31 mins
Evangelism” sounds like a scary word. You might picture guy in a suit speaking to a stadium or a guy screaming on the street corner. But what if we told you that the people Jesus called to be evangelists are…you and me?

This week, Kyle shows us how evangelism isn’t just to reach “those” people “out there”, but all of us are called to go not just to the ends of the earth, but to our neighbors next door.

God Isn’t Mad at You | Seeing God’s Goodness in Noah’s Flood

September 21, 2025 • 39 mins

This week, Kyle Ranson flips the script on one of the Bible’s wildest stories.

Faith Means Movement | Why Faith Isn’t Just About Agreeing With God

September 14, 2025 • 37 mins
“Faith” is one of those nice words you might see stitched into a pillow or on the class roll at a Christian school. We might think it has something to do with believing God or having nice thoughts. But what if we told you faith isn’t just reading the Bible and going “Nice! Thumbs up!“, but really comes down to believing something enough to move. This week, Alli Patterson shows why out of the whole city of Jericho, God chose Ra...

Grumbling in the Desert | Why The Key to Growth is Having A Good Memory

September 7, 2025 • 43 mins
It seems like in the Bible, miracles are happening all the time. Did they stop happening when they invented the Polaroid or something? What’s up with that?Some of us feel like if we saw a miracle happen before our own eyes, we’d be the best believers of all time. Yet the Israelites saw the Red Sea part and were grumbling and complaining again three days later. Jump in to hear Brian Tome break down why growth, faith, and gratit...

God Makes a Way | When There is No Way

August 31, 2025 • 47 mins
It was too late for swimming lessons. When 2 million Israelites arrived at the edge of the Red Sea with all the might of Egypt nipping at their heels, it seemed like it was game over. But where there was a sea, God made a highway. Maybe you feel up against the Red Sea in your own life. That job you’ve been waiting on falls through, the bills keep coming when your money runs out, you get that diagnosis you weren’t expecting. In...

Staying in the Lion’s Den | Why Following God Means An Invitation to Danger

August 24, 2025 • 46 mins
Maybe you’ve heard about Daniel in the Lion’s Den from Sunday School. The moral of the story probably went something like this: if you’re nice and faithful, God will save you from all of your troubles and you’ll never have to deal with any difficulty and you can play with the nice kitties. But there’s actually so much more to the story. This week, Kyle Ranson unpacks how this story is not just how God saves us from danger, but...

Breaking Your Spiritual Drought | How To Find God When Your Life Feels Dry

August 17, 2025 • 44 mins

Pursued by Mercy | What Happens When You Stop Trying to Outrun God’s Love

August 10, 2025 • 38 mins
We have a way God’s love looks in our heads: rainbows, puppies, and maybe even a gallon bucket of that one frappe from Starbucks. Yeah...that’s not quite what Jonah felt when he found himself stuck in the digestive track of a giant sea beast. But what if that’s the exact thing that Jonah needed to come back to God at that time? This week Alli Patterson shows us how God’s mercy is always chasing us, and God can and will use wha...

“Are We There Yet?” | Learning to Trust God in the Desert

August 3, 2025 • 43 mins
“Are we there yet?” There’s a chance you’ve heard that (or said it) from the back of a minivan when you’re hours from your destination and there’s still another 400 miles until the next Buc-ees. When we’re waiting on your spouse, next promotion, or next vacation, life can feel the same way. So when life isn’t going our pace, how can we trust that God is still good?

This week, Kyle Ranson unpacks the story of the Israe...

Doubt is a Doorway | How Your Questions Can Lead You to Deeper Faith

July 27, 2025 • 33 mins
There’s a long list of things that can make you feel like you’re a “Bad Christian™“. The swear word when you stub your toe. The glass of wine when the kids are in bed. Sometimes it’s just as simple as asking one too many questions. 

But what if asking questions didn’t mean you were far away from God? What if it’s just the doorway to know Him more? In a world that’s quick to hop into a all caps-lock online debate, Chuc...

Reflect and Move | How to Turn Conviction Into a Life That Works

July 20, 2025 • 38 mins
Reflections aren’t just for selfies or pre-date checkups. Sure, mirrors are great for fixing your hair… but what about that spiritual broccoli in your teeth? This week, Joel Firebaugh reminds us that faith isn’t about sitting still and feeling convicted, then going to Chipotle after service. It’s about getting up and doing something about it. When we recognize and repent, Jesus can redeem.

Whether or not you know it, you’re in a fight. But you weren’t thrown into the battlefield with barefoot and empty-handed. God gave us weapons to protect and to fight back the enemy.

Counter-Punch Apathy | How to Live Fully Alive

June 29, 2025 • 43 mins
You might be breathing... but are you actually living?
Some days, it’s easier to scroll past, stay numb, and check out. That quiet voice saying, “Why bother?” That’s apathy. And it’s one of the enemy’s most effective weapons. Left unchecked, it will dull your heart, steal your purpose, and leave you to rot.
But Jesus offers something radically different. He promises a life that’s fully alive—a life filled with purpose,...
