In this episode we walk through passages of Romans 8 & 12 as we ask God to renew the way we think.

What happens when life punches us in the mouth and our best plans fall apart? Genesis 4:25-26 picks up after one of the most devastating chapters in all of Scripture, where murder, exile, and spreading sin seemed to have the final word. And yet, right in the middle of all that brokenness, something remarkable happens. A child is born, a mother recognizes the hand of God, and a people begin to call upon the name of the Lord. These two verses carry a powerful truth that speaks directly to wherever we find ourselves today: God is not finished. Grace still comes, even when the story looks like it has gone too far off course to recover. Eve does not pretend the pain never happened. She names it. She remembers Abel. But she also sees what God is doing right now, in the present, and she calls it grace. That is the kind of biblical hope we are invited into, not a denial of what has been lost, but a genuine expectation that God can bring new beginnings into stories already marked by real brokenness.

In this episode, we hear from TJ Earl about navigating movements of Holy Spirit, watching passionate faith break out across the generations, and how to take it all in along the way.

Today on Monday Morning Faith, Dave and Donny talk about the final week of "Out of Eden" and the 21 days leading up to Renew.

What happens when we stop calling sin what it is? Pastor Donny uses Genesis 4 to take us on a sobering journey through generations of a family that drifted further and further from God, and the pattern it reveals is uncomfortably familiar. We see how sin moves in stages -- first crouching at the door, then tolerated, then normalized, and finally celebrated openly. The story of Cain and his descendants is not just ancient history. It is a mirror held up to our own lives, our own compromises, and our own rationalizations. The concept of the normalization of deviance, originally used to explain the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, becomes a powerful lens through which we can examine our spiritual lives. When something that once convicted us no longer even registers, something has gone deeply wrong. The message calls us to honestly ask ourselves what we have quietly made room for, what we once resisted that we now simply live around, and whether we are following Jesus completely or only when it is convenient.

"Sin never wants to stay in the little box you put it in. It always wants more." Don't make peace with what God has told you to put to death. Bring it into the light — confession drags sin out of the darkness where it grows. #Genesis4 #OutOfEden

On today's episode, Dave, Donny, and Nick talk about the New York mission trip and the first week of "Out of Eden".

What if the greatest spiritual danger we face is not outright rebellion against God, but simply going through the motions while our hearts drift far from him? Genesis 4 opens with two brothers, Cain and Abel, both showing up to worship, both bringing offerings, both looking the part from the outside. Yet God sees something no one else can see. He sees the heart behind the offering. Abel brings his first and his best, an act rooted in genuine faith and trust. Cain brings something, but the heart behind it tells a different story. This passage forces us to ask a deeply uncomfortable question: when we sing, give, serve, and gather, what kind of heart is actually bringing the offering? The Bible makes clear in Hebrews 11 that Abel's sacrifice was accepted by faith, and in 1 John 3 that Cain's deeds were evil. The difference was not merely what they held in their hands but what they held in their hearts. Real worship is never just about the actions we perform. It is about presenting our whole selves before God, our desires, our trust, our surrender. This is a call for all of us to stop asking how we look on the outside and start honestly examining what is actually happening on the inside.

On today's episode, Nick and Avery take more calls and answer questions from their listeners!

What does it mean to truly trade our own vision for God's mission? That question sits at the heart of missionary Ben Ward's deeply personal and challenging exploration of Ephesians 4:7-16. We are invited to see ourselves not merely as part of a crowd, but as individuals whom the King of Kings personally knows and specifically gifts. The passage reminds us that grace has been given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift, and that is not a small or casual thing. The risen Christ, having ascended in victory and led captivity captive, distributes gifts among his people, not to hoard the spoils of his victory but to pour them out generously. This reframes how we understand our own role in the life of the church. We are not passive observers of God's work in the world. We are equipped, gifted, and called to function as living parts of a body that builds itself up in love. The sobering question this raises for each of us is whether we are actually walking in the gifts we have been given, or whether we are sitting quietly on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to do what God has already prepared us to do.

Today on The Making Noise Podcast, Nick and Avery are joined by Jacob, Kyle, and Nolan to take some live calls and reflect on a worship night.

Today on Monday Morning Faith, Dave and Donny talk about the end of the World Cup and week 3 of our series "Where Grace Begins".

Genesis 3 takes us into the garden where humanity's first act of disobedience forever changed our relationship with God. We discover that sin doesn't just make us guilty—it fundamentally alters how we see God, ourselves, and others. Just as Adam and Eve hid among the trees they couldn't create, we too attempt to conceal ourselves from the all-knowing God behind our own fig leaves of busyness, success, humor, anger, or even religion. The beauty of this message lies in God's response: He doesn't abandon us in our hiding places but comes looking for us, asking 'Where are you?' This isn't a question born of ignorance but of grace, giving us the opportunity to step out of the shadows and into honest confession. We're challenged to examine what voices we've allowed to define us—whether shame, failure, or the lies of others—and to remember that through Christ, we're no longer defined by our worst moments but by the grace that pursued us. The cross has already exposed both the seriousness of our sin and the magnitude of God's love, inviting us to stop playing hide and seek with the One who knows us completely and loves us anyway.

In this episode of Monday Morning Faith, Dave discovers Donny hates the World Cup then discusses what changes in our lives when we actually trust God's Word (and not just agree with it).

In this powerful exploration Pastor Donny challenges us to confront a fundamental question that shapes every aspect of our lives: Can we truly trust the Bible? Drawing from 2 Peter 1:16-21, we're reminded that Scripture isn't based on cleverly devised myths but on eyewitness testimony of God's majesty. The message walks us through compelling evidence that the Bible is the most reliable collection of ancient writings in existence, with over 24,000 manuscript copies of the New Testament alone and a time gap of only 50 years between original authorship and earliest copies. Compare this to other ancient texts like Plato's writings with 210 copies and a 1,300-year gap, and we see the Bible stands unmatched in historical reliability. Over 23,000 archaeological digs have never disproven a single biblical fact. But here's where it gets personal: the real struggle isn't whether Jesus died for us, it's whether we'll live for Him. We want a Savior who forgives us while we stay in control, but God calls us to complete surrender. The Bible speaks into every area of our lives—our marriages, money, sexuality, anger, and priorities. If this book is truly God's Word, and the evidence overwhelmingly confirms it is, then our response cannot be selective obedience. We don't get to stand over Scripture and decide which parts we like; we must sit under it and let God speak. The question isn't just can we trust the Bible, but will we obey it?

Dave is flying solo today and shares some things that the Lord has been laying on his heart lately.

Temptation starts with a question: "Did God actually say?" But faith responds: "It is written." The enemy whispers "God's holding out on you," but the cross proves God gave His all. Stop listening to the voice that leads to shame. Trust the Savior who gives abundant life.
