Episodes
-
The Throne, The War, and The King Who Wins
What if Revelation is showing us what is really happening behind everything we can see? John is brought into the throne room of heaven. From there, Revelation pulls back the curtain on worship, judgment, spiritual warfare, earthly kingdoms, and the return of the true King. In this episode, we...
-
The Churches Jesus Praised and Rebuked
What would Jesus say about your church? In Revelation 2 and 3, Christ speaks directly to seven churches. Some receive encouragement for their faithfulness under suffering. Others are confronted over compromise, complacency, false teaching, and self reliance. In this episode, we walk through these...
-
The Revelation Everyone Gets Wrong
Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible. For many people, it becomes a source of fear, obsession, or endless speculation. But Revelation was given to reveal Christ, encourage the church, and remind believers that no matter how chaotic the world looks, God is sovereign and...
-
The Day You Can't Escape
There is no hiding from this day. In Part 2, we continue unpacking the reality of final judgment and what it means for every person who will stand before God. Scripture does not give us this truth so we can speculate or panic. It gives it to us so we will see clearly, repent honestly, and run to...
-
The Day Everyone Dreads
There is a day coming that every person will face. In this episode, we begin unpacking the biblical reality of judgment. Not as a scare tactic. Not as speculation. But as a serious truth that should wake us up, humble us, and point us to Christ. The Day Everyone Dreads is only dreadful if you…

The Beasts of the Sea
Beasts rising from the sea. Kingdoms raging against God. Power that looks unstoppable. In this episode, we unpack the apocalyptic imagery of the beasts and what it reveals about earthly kingdoms, spiritual rebellion, and the endurance of the saints. These passages are not given to make us panic....
-
The Chariot and the Bones
A throne above the heavens. A valley full of dry bones. Two visions that confront us with the holiness, power, and hope of God. In this episode, we explore the chariot vision and the valley of dry bones, looking at how these passages point us to God’s glory, His judgment, and His ability to bring...
-
Apocalypse Intro
The apocalypse is not meant to make Christians panic. It is meant to make us faithful. In this episode, we begin a new conversation about apocalyptic Scripture, end-times expectations, and how believers should think about the return of Christ without drifting into fear, obsession, or careless...
-
The Cure For Anxiety
“Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’” Matthew 6:31 (ESV) In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ teaching on anxiety and the freedom that comes from trusting our Father’s care. Worry promises control, but it never delivers peace....
-
Possesions
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 (ESV) In this episode, we look at Jesus’ teaching on possessions and the danger of building our lives around temporary treasure. Money, comfort, security, and stuff can quietly become masters if we are not paying attention....
-
Give
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them.” Matthew 6:1 (ESV) In this episode, we look at Jesus’ teaching on giving and the danger of turning generosity into a stage. Giving is good. But Jesus presses deeper than the act itself. He goes after the…
more -
The Anatomy of an Every-Day Enemy
Loving your enemy sounds noble until you actually have one. In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ call to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Not in theory, but in the normal, messy relationships where bitterness, frustration, and resentment can quietly take root. This is a...
-
Redacted
“Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ anything more than this comes from evil.” Matthew 5:37 (ESV) In this episode, we explore Jesus’ call to truthfulness and integrity. Not just avoiding outright lies, but becoming people whose words can be trusted without qualification. In a world where…
more -
In The Heart
Jesus does not just address what we do. He goes after why we do it. In this episode, we explore what Scripture teaches about the heart and why real obedience is more than behavior modification. Sin is not just external. It starts within. And that is exactly where the gospel does its deepest work....
-
Salt and Light
“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:13 to 14 (ESV) In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ call for His people to live distinct, visible lives in a dark and decaying world. What does it actually look like to be salt that preserves and light that shines? This is a...
-
Platitudes
Christians often reach for familiar phrases when life gets hard. “Everything happens for a reason.” “God just needed another angel.” “Just have more faith.” In this episode, we examine the role of platitudes in Christian culture and ask an important question. Do these sayings actually reflect…
more -
Faithful Christians in a World of Chaos and Despair
The world feels loud, unstable, and divided. So what does faithfulness look like right now? In this episode, we wrestle with how Christians are called to live in a culture marked by confusion and despair. Not with panic. Not with retreat. But with rooted hope, steady courage, and trust in the...
-
Good Work: Husbands
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” Ephesians 5:25 (ESV) In this episode of Good Work, we explore what Scripture says about the high calling of being a husband. Marriage is not just companionship. It is covenant. It is formation. It is daily work...
-
Good Work: Work With All Your Might
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Colossians 3:23 (ESV) In this episode of Good Work, we are joined by our good friend Dr. Juan Munoz to explore what Scripture says about diligence, faithfulness, and doing our work unto the Lord in every season of life. Work is…
more -
Good Work: Fatherhood
Fatherhood is more than provision or authority—it’s a calling shaped by patience, instruction, and love. In this episode of Good Work, we explore fatherhood as God-given work: forming character, modeling repentance, and faithfully pointing our children to Christ in ordinary, everyday moments.…
more -
Peacemakers & Peacekeepers
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” — Matthew 5:9 (ESV) In this episode, we explore the crucial difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping. Is peace something we preserve at all costs—or something we actively pursue through truth, humility, and faithfulness?...
-
The Beatitudes: Part 2
In Part 2 of our conversation on The Beatitudes, we continue unpacking Jesus’ upside-down vision of the kingdom. These aren’t abstract ideals—they’re descriptions of a transformed life marked by dependence on God, love for others, and endurance through suffering. What does it look like to live…
more -
The Beatitudes
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3 (ESV) This week, we’re joined by Dave Rider to explore one of Jesus’ most iconic teachings—The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12 ESV). These words turn our ideas of success and strength upside down, calling us to live...
-
The Lost Sheep
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?” — Luke 15:4 (ESV) In this episode, we explore The Parable of the Lost Sheep, where Jesus reveals the pursuing, joyful…
more -
The Sower
A farmer goes out to sow—and the seeds fall on all kinds of soil. In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ parable of The Sower (Matthew 13:1–23), exploring what it means for us today. Why do some people hear the gospel and thrive while others fade away? What kind of soil best describes your heart right...
-
The Ten Virgins
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” — Matthew 25:13 (ESV) In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ parable of The Ten Virgins—a vivid call to spiritual readiness. What does it mean to live prepared, with hearts that are truly waiting for Christ? And what happens when we treat…
more -
The Wedding Banquet
Jesus tells a story about a king throwing a wedding feast—a celebration overflowing with grace and invitation. But not everyone comes. Some ignore it. Others resist. And one shows up without the right clothes. In this episode, we unpack what this parable means for us today: God’s open invitation,...
-
The Workers in the Vineyard
This episode is different. We set aside our normal lighthearted intro to talk about the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk—processing what it means, how it’s affecting us, and the weight we know some of you are carrying too. Afterward, we turn to Jesus’ parable of the Workers in the Vineyard...
-
The Net
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net…” (Matthew 13:47) Jesus’ parable of the net gives us a sobering reminder: there will be a final separation between the righteous and the wicked. In this episode, we talk through what this means for how we live now, why judgment is both terrifying and…
more -
The Hidden Treasure & The Pearl
What is worth everything you have? In two parables, Jesus answers with one clear truth: the kingdom of heaven. In this episode, we unpack the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, looking at what it really means to treasure Christ above all else—and why following Him always costs, but is...
-
Mustard Seed & The Leaven
The kingdom of God doesn’t always look impressive at the start. A tiny mustard seed. A little bit of leaven in flour. In this episode, we look at how Jesus uses these parables to remind us that God’s work often begins small, hidden, and slow—but always ends in unstoppable growth. 📝 Branden’s...
-
Talents
In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus calls us to more than playing it safe. He calls us to faithful risk. This episode dives into what it means to steward what God has given us—whether that’s time, resources, influence, or opportunities—for His kingdom, not our comfort. 📝 Branden’s dropping…
more -
Sheep & Goats
When Jesus separates the sheep from the goats in Matthew 25, it’s more than just a parable—it’s a warning and a call to real, living faith. In this episode, we unpack what it means to live a faith that bears fruit, why works matter (but don’t save), and how this teaching challenges both the…
more -
Love
Love isn’t just a feeling or a slogan—it’s the foundation of our faith. In this episode, we unpack what real, biblical love looks like: sacrificial, costly, and rooted in Christ’s example—not just feel-good sentiment. How do we love God and others when it’s hard? What does it look like when love...
-
Joy // Peace
Joy and peace aren’t about good vibes or quiet mornings. They’re fruits of the Spirit—anchored in Christ, not our circumstances. In this episode, we explore how real joy and peace grow in the middle of chaos, suffering, and everyday life. What does it look like to have joy when things fall apart?...
-
Kindness // Patience
Kindness isn’t weakness. Patience isn’t passivity. These two fruits of the Spirit are often misunderstood, but they’re essential to living a life that reflects Christ. In this episode, we unpack what biblical kindness and patience really look like—and how they go far deeper than just “being nice”...
-
Faithfulness // Goodness
In this episode, the crew explores two fruits of the Spirit that don’t always get the spotlight: faithfulness and goodness. What do they really mean in the life of a believer? How do we live them out in a world that often misunderstands them—or ignores them entirely? Expect solid biblical...
-
Self-Control // Gentleness
We’re kicking off a brand new series on the fruit of the Spirit—and we’re starting at the end. In this first episode, we tackle self-control and gentleness, two traits that often get overlooked but are essential to a life shaped by the gospel. What does it really mean to be self-controlled in a...
