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. And when we team up with Jesus and the people around us, we don’t fight FOR victory. We get to fight FROM victory. Join Chuck Mingo as he breaks down the battle plans. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, OH.

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,...

Christianity. Buddhism. Islam. Hinduism. They all seem to say the same thing, right? Be nice, don’t kill, don’t steal your neighbor’s Wi-Fi, you know the drill. But what if these aren’t just different paths up the same mountain?

If you’ve been burned (or bored) by the Church, you’re not alone. The Church has certainly been responsible for some not-so-great stuff over the years. Sounds hard to believe, but there was a time when the Church was the world’s most powerful force for good. Hospitals, public education, and humanitarian aid—all born from the church. The church isn’t just a building or an organization, it’s God’s Plan A to bless His people. Ev...

Maybe you’ve seen those priceless paintings in a museum—then spotted the same image in the gift shop on a fridge magnet for $12. It might make you wonder: what’s legit, and what’s just a knockoff?
People ask the same thing about Jesus. Was He just a good teacher? Did He even exist? Is He a divine masterpiece—or a cleverly crafted forgery?

"Truth” seems like it can be pretty subjective these days. Who can you trust? Who has the right sources? Is smooth peanut butter really better than chunky?

The wages of sin is death. And Jesus came to pay up. Good Friday is a grim reminder of what sin brings—death and destruction. The only way to pay for that is through a sacrifice. For centuries, that was with a perfect lamb, instituted at the first Passover.Kyle Ranson shows us how through the sacrifice of Good Friday, just became not just a good sacrifice, but THE sacrifice. Friday was only Good because Sunday was coming.

Palm Sunday: parades, palms, and a donkey. Cute. But let’s be honest—this day was never about waving branches. It’s about asking one uncomfortable question: Who’s actually calling the shots in your life? (Spoiler: it might not be who you think.)Brian dives into the gritty side of Holy Week—what people hoped Jesus would be, what he actually was, and why most of the crowd bailed on him a few days later. Hint: He didn’t fit their...

The Bible and Science. Cats and Dogs. LeBron and Steph. These have been enemies since the dawn of time….right? There seems to be an element of faith that means you have to check your brain at the door. Just ignore the facts, ignore those scary numbers, drink this delicious Kool-Aid and don’t worry about anything. But what if God calls you to something deeper than that? Kyle Ranson puts on his science teacher tie and walks us t...

Should I do yoga? Play poker? Listen to Cardi B? We all ask questions that the Bible doesn’t seem to actually have an answer for (although if there’s a prophecy about Cardi B that we missed, please let us know). People in Jesus’ time wrestled with similar questions, but when they asked Jesus, He asked them questions that forced them to go deeper. We want a black and white answer, but the truth is God often shows up to meet us ...

Can a Christian get tattoos? What about smoke? Drink? These are all important questions, but it doesn’t matter nearly as much as the deeper question: does it matter what we do with our body? Aren’t we all just meat bags that need to be filled with Taco Bell sometimes until we go to heaven? (Ok, maybe we shouldn’t put the terms “meat bags” and “Taco Bell” in the same sentence). Brian Tome dives into what we do with our body—and...

We’ve all been there. You’ve prayed the same thing over and over again, but nothing seems to happen, no matter what you do. After a while, you have to wonder: What’s going on, am I not holy enough or something? Is there some invisible 7'3" NBA center shot blocking these? Or worse: does God even know or care about me? If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone.
So what do we do when we feel like that? And is there ...

Your phone is a fork. You might be wondering, “When did I download the Fork app?“. Good news, it’s not a premium subscription. But your phone DOES dictate how and what you consume. And for a lot of us, that’s comparison, fear, and distraction. Your enemy has one job: to keep you distracted and asleep so you don’t do anything. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how we can use our phones like they’re meant to be used, and start fee...
