Eyes Like Jesus | Simply Jesus Pt. 4
Most of us know the feeling of looking at a need and doing the math. The bills, the hours in the day, the energy we have left. We size up what’s in front of us, compare it to what’s in our hands, and quietly conclude there’s just not enough. Not enough money, not enough time, not enough of…

Come And See | Simply Jesus Pt. 3
Most of us have a well we keep going back to. For some people it's the next promotion or a bigger paycheck. For others it's approval, a relationship, a goal, or just being noticed. It works for a while. Then the thirst comes back, so we lower the bucket again. In this episode, we look at an old...

The Unhurried Life | Simply Jesus Pt. 2
You know the feeling. You're standing in a room with someone, nodding along, and your mind is already three hours ahead, running through a to-do list, replaying a conversation, worrying about something you can't control. You're there, but you're not really there. It happens with your kids, your...

What Are You Seeking? | Simply Jesus Pt. 1
Most of us are chasing something. A promotion, a relationship, a bigger number in the bank account, a child who turns out okay, a room full of people who approve of us. And most of those things are good. The trouble starts quietly, when we stop just wanting them and start needing them to tell us…

When Grace Crosses the Line | The Book of Jonah Pt. 4
Think about the last person you decided didn't deserve a break. Maybe it's someone who hurt you, someone who thinks differently than you, someone whose choices you can't stand behind. If you're honest, some small part of you has probably hoped things would go badly for them. That instinct feels...
-
The Other Side of Obedience | The Book of Jonah Pt. 3
Most of us have a version of the same story: something we know we need to do, and a hundred reasons we haven't done it yet. Make the call. Have the hard conversation. Walk away from the thing we've been tolerating. We tell ourselves we're waiting for the right moment, or more information, or just…

What Do You Do When You Find Yourself In A Dark Place | The Book of Jonah Pt. 2
Everyone knows what it's like to end up somewhere they never meant to be. Maybe it's a slow drift that finally caught up with you, a choice you can trace back if you're honest enough to look. Or maybe it's something that landed on you out of nowhere... a diagnosis, a loss, a relationship that…

Relentless Grace | The Book of Jonah Pt. 1
There's a version of avoidance we all know intimately: the thing you keep not doing. The conversation you keep not having. The calling, the change, the hard thing you know is right there in front of you, and instead of walking toward it, you quietly book a ticket in the opposite direction. It...
-
Consistency is Key
We all want the same thing: to change. To finally stick with the workout, fix the relationship, quiet the anxiety, break the habit. And we tend to imagine that change arriving as a single dramatic moment—the breakthrough, the epiphany, the day everything clicks. So when that moment doesn't come…

Better & Brighter
Some people walk into a room and the whole mood shifts — not because they're loud or impressive, but because something about their presence just makes things better. Other people walk in and you can feel the temperature drop. Here's the uncomfortable truth: nobody is neutral. Every single one of…

Faithful Servants Enter Into Joy
Everybody's waiting on something. A diagnosis. A decision. A phone call that hasn't come yet. And most of us handle the waiting the same way — we either check out completely, or we white-knuckle it, watching the clock, unable to actually live in the meantime. This episode starts there: with the...
-
The Elephant in the Church
Here's a question most of us avoid: who's actually forming you right now? Not in an abstract way — literally, day to day. Your feed, your job, the people you spend the most time with, the shows you watch before bed. Something is shaping how you see money, success, relationships, and yourself.…
more -
The God Who Sees
There's a particular kind of loneliness that has nothing to do with being alone. You can be in a house full of people who need you, a marriage that looks fine from the outside, a job where everyone depends on you — and still go to bed at night feeling like nobody actually knows what you're...
-
Summer at Citizens | Andrew Atkinson
Summer has a way of filling up our calendars while quietly emptying out everything else. Trips, kids' activities, time off from normal routines — none of it is bad, but somewhere in the middle of all that motion, it's easy to end up busy and depleted at the same time. This episode starts with…
more -
Created, Called, & Confident
Most of us spend a significant amount of energy trying to figure out who we are — scrolling through other people's lives, measuring ourselves against what we've accomplished or failed to accomplish, and quietly wondering if we're enough. The comparison trap is exhausting, and the confidence it...
-
The Book of James | Waiting in Faith
We all know what it feels like to be in a waiting room. Not just the physical kind — hard chairs, bad lighting, a TV no one picked — but the invisible kind. The one where you're sitting with a relationship that won't heal, a prayer you've said so many times you've almost stopped meaning it, or a...
-
The Book of James | When Your Plans Fall Apart
Most of us are running some version of a plan. A career plan, a financial plan, a family plan — maybe a backup plan for the backup plan. And for a lot of us, that planning isn't just practical, it's emotional. Our plans are where we park our sense of security. So when one collapses — a diagnosis…
more -
The Book of James | The Way Back Home
We've all been there: snapping at someone we love, replaying a fight in our heads for the fifth time, convinced that if the other person would just change, everything would be fine. It's easy to blame stress, circumstances, or the difficult people in our lives. But what if the conflict around us…

The Book of James | The Kind of Wisdom That Builds Your Life
Think about the wisest person you know. Chances are you didn't think of them because of what they know — you thought of them because of how they live. There's something about the way they handle pressure, treat people, and carry themselves that sets them apart from everyone else who's just loud,...
-
The Book of James | The Power of Your Words
Most of us have said something we immediately wished we could take back. And most of us can also point to a handful of words — spoken years or even decades ago — that we still carry with us today. Words have a strange persistence. They don't just land and disappear. They echo. Drawing from one of...
-
The Book of James | Faith That's Alive
Most of us have a mental list — without ever writing it down — of who's worth our time. We drift toward the confident, the successful, the people who might open a door for us. And we quietly drift away from everyone else. It's not something we're proud of. Most of the time, we don't even notice...
-
The Book of James | Faith in the Word
We’ve all been there: you hear a piece of advice that hits home or have a sudden realization about a habit that’s holding you back, and for a moment, you feel a spark of motivation to change. But then the week gets busy, life gets loud, and that clarity slowly fades. We often find ways to keep...
-
The Book of James | Faith in the Fire
Nobody signs up for suffering. But what if the hardest seasons of your life aren't accidents — what if they're actually doing something? In this episode, Jason Laird opens a brand new series through the Book of James with a question most of us avoid: what if the fire isn't the problem? Drawing…

Episode 94: Sunday to Sunday | Palm Sunday
Before the resurrection, there was a cross and a tomb — and this week, we're sitting in Friday and Saturday. From 1 Corinthians 15, we explore what the cross reveals about the cost of sin and the depth of God's love, and why "It is finished" are the three most consequential words ever spoken.…
more -
Sunday to Sunday | Humility & Authority
In this talk, we explore the surprising connection between authority and humility, and why the strongest leaders aren’t the loudest, but the ones whose lives match their words. Looking at the example of Jesus confronting religious leaders who cared more about appearance than integrity, this…
more -
Sunday to Sunday | Surrender
In this message from the Sunday to Sunday series, we look at the story of Palm Sunday and the surprising tension at the center of it: the crowd celebrated Jesus, but they didn’t actually want the kind of leadership He came to bring. They wanted help, not surrender. Freedom, but on their terms.…

Anniversary Sunday | We Are Doing a Great Work
In this two-year anniversary message, Pastor Jason reflects on Nehemiah’s declaration, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down,” and shows how every great move of God begins as a burden before it becomes a reality. What started as a vision in prayer has become a thriving church marked by...
-
The Cost of Relationships | Commitment vs Convenience
We live in a world built for convenience — cancel anytime, avoid the awkward conversation, move on when it gets hard. That works for subscriptions… but not for relationships. In this episode, Nathan Boley explores why meaningful relationships require commitment, how to choose the hard…

Practicing The Way | How To Be A Witness Without Being Weird
In the final message of Practicing the Way, we talk about one of the most misunderstood practices in the Christian life: witness. For many people, witnessing feels heavy—pressure, awkwardness, fear of rejection, or guilt for not doing enough. But Jesus never called us to outcomes. He called us to...
