Taking Your Next Step In Following Jesus Christ

On this episode, we follow real people crushed by fear, guilt and sorrow. Specifically, we trace Elijah’s fall from triumph on the mountain to a desolate juniper tree where he begged God to take his life. We experience the raw emotions of panic from a single message, the slow slide into isolation, the numbing pull of comparison and defeat.

Then the account take a turn! Angels bring food, a still small voice breaks through the noise...

Our culture is filled with busyness and noise. On today's episode, we talk about how to step out of the relentless noise and into a scriptural truth about how a simple pause can change everything. 

We will draw on Psalm 46, Elijah’s mountaintop encounter, and Jesus’ steady rhythm of retreat and return. We trace the journey from frantic busyness to restful presence, showing how solitude becomes the place where God is known experient...

In today's episode, we step into a story that refuses to leave you unchanged: a king, an impossible debt, and a servant who learns — the hard way — what it means to be forgiven. Against the backdrop of a world quick to cancel and slow to heal, this episode peels back the layers of anger, justice, and the radical mercy Jesus calls us to.

We trace how the cross meets justice, why true forgiveness costs us something, and how withholdi...

In this episode, we walk into God's courtroom where He as Judge declares a messed up life ‘not guilty’—not because the person became perfect, but because Jesus paid the price. We can be forgiven and declared sinless because of the great Bible truth of forgiveness. It is why God’s forgiveness covers past, present, and future sins. 

God's forgiveness moves us from the darkness of guilt to the sunshine of peace! Justification is a com...

In this episode we follow Asaph through a raw, honest moment of spiritual near-failure. He encountered jealousy, confusion, and the temptation to call it quits. As the Psalm unfolds, he compares himself to the prosperous wicked, spirals toward despair, and asks whether faith is even worth it.

But it all turns around when he returns to what he knows is certain, the church, the community of believers, and the immutable character of G...

Satan attacks in many ways but one of his go to attacks is by planting lies in our minds. Satan has the power to steal your mind. He wants to influence your thoughts and thus your actions. He attacks by presenting us with an idea. An idea that is a lie disguised as the truth. He wants you to believe the lies so that your actions will follow. God gives us the tools to recognize and defend against these attacks. You can fight and res...

This episode explores how prayer leads us to know God more deeply, drawing on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3. It explains that prayer is instinctive, instructive, and a lifelong journey that strengthens the inner person, roots us in love, and opens us to encountering God’s fullness.

We look as some practical tools for prayer such as: plan regular prayer times, experiment with different forms (petition, confession, adoration, meditati...

As we navigate forward on our podcast episodes, I want to central in on this theme of knowing God better. Paul emphasizes that knowing God is the greatest achievement in our Christian life.

We discuss practical s...

Jesus teaches us the importance of lifting up our eyes and looking for the opportunities that are all around us.

In this episode we walk through John 15 to explore what it means to be a friend of Jesus, unpacking the themes of sacrifice, obedience, availability, and God’s relational design.

The episode highlights these key points: Jesus proved friendship by laying down his life, friendship requires mutual sacrifice and loyalty, obedience is the proof of friendship, and forgiveness and availability are central to Jesus’ way of relating to us.

In this episode we walk through John 15 and sort out the three different types of branches that Jesus talks about: the fruitful (pruned to produce more), the unfruitful (believers who stop bearing fruit and are set aside), and the withered (those who only look like branches but never truly trusted Him).

Take a moment to pause and check to see which branch your are. Trust Jesus if you never have, and if you’re a believer who’s grown...
