Episodes
This episode explores how reactivity and false needs, control, perfectionism, always knowing the answer, being needed, and craving approval, fuel recurring family and social conflicts.
Drawning from work by Steve Cuss and rooted in Psalm 46, the message invites listeners to trade anxiety for humility, trust God’s sovereignty, and practice being still, with practical reflections on relationships and discipleship.
This episode reflections on Psalms 1 to challenge us to examine the voices we are allowing to shape our lives. It contrasts mockery and cynicism with a gospel-centered mentality that delights in God’s guidance.
Practical invitations include meditating on God’s word, planting deep spiritual roots and choosing joy over anxiety.
Every story needs a center—and for Paul, that center is Jesus. As we begin our Colossians series, we dive into Colossians 1:17 to explore what it means for Christ to hold all things together.
Life is complicated and a simple outlook causes us to misunderstand miss oppurtunities. Nathan uses Proverbs to show why recognizing patterns and seeking wisdom matters.

This episode explores Proverbs-based wisdom about friendship: how our closest relationships shape our habits, and the dangers of echo chambers and 'faithful fools' who lead us into harm.

This episode introduces a four-week look through Proverbs with the theme "No Regrets," teaching how to learn from experience and avoid repeating mistakes.
It focuses on the power of words: practicing restraint, using the notice–name–navigate method for heated conversations, and applying active listening (ask, mirror, paraphrase, prime) so our speech heals rather than harms.

In this episode we explore the aftermath of David’s sin with Bathsheba and how his silence and unaddressed failures ripple into the next generation—leading to Amnon’s assault on Tamar, Absalom’s vengeance, and a kingdom torn apart.
