Learning to live in tension

Blake explores what it means to live faithfully in an age of uncertainty. Beginning with reflections on AI, cultural fear, and even the surprisingly theological lessons of In-N-Out Burger, he challenges the instinct to retreat from the world and instead calls Christians to engage culture with confidence and hope. Drawing from Psalm 121, Matthew 23, 1 Corinthians 3, and the imagery of the Jewish wedding feast, Blake contrasts living from fear and self-reliance with trusting the God who is both our source and our destination. Along the way, he shares candid stories from his own life, wrestling with anxiety, shame, therapy, fatherhood, and spiritual growth, reminding us that maturity is often found not in having every answer but in learning to live with the tension of God’s truth. This message is an invitation to stop majoring in the minors, keep your lamp full, and fix your eyes on the One who is preparing a place for His people.Send us a text!
