BOUND UP: Expecting Shalom
When you go to Jesus, what do you expect? We all go to Jesus for different reasons, but somewhere down deep, we all hope to receive that healing that he promises. What if what Jesus brings is something even more than we could even imagine up? Jessie walks us through the story of a group of…

BOUND UP: What Grace Does To Your Wallet
Today we compare and contrast two stories about two rich men who interact with the grace of Jesus: the rich young ruler and Zaccheus. Their responses illuminate the question we all grapple with: how much of a hold does covetousness and greed have on my life? Even when we think we are generous…

BOUND UP: A Love That Doesn't Use You
For this weeks’ episode of Bound Up, Robert talks about the woman with the Alabaster jar, who lavishly anoints Jesus with precious oil. He examines all the people in the story–the disciples who scoff, the woman who weeps, Jesus who loves and forgives freely– and asks us to find our own place in...
-
BOUND UP: Impossible Wounds
Do you believe that Jesus wants to join in with your healing? Not only that Jesus is capable of healing you, but that he wants to? Jessie dives into the intertwining stories of Jairus’ daughter and the bleeding woman in Luke, providing us with a new perspective and a challenge of our willingness…
more -
BOUND UP: Subversive Interference
“If you want a yes man, Jesus is not your guy.” So often we find ourselves wishing Jesus would interfere in our lives, but only in the way we’d like him to. What would happen if Jesus met you right where you are? What would be our response? Andrew walks us through the story of Jesus, the...
-
BOUND UP: Healed and Saved are the Same Word
For our first episode of the BOUND UP Series, Robert walks us into the books of Luke and Colossians, as we examine and follow along with Jesus as the Great Healer. He sets the stage for our series, encouraging us to ask what it would look like for us to allow ourselves to be willing to be bound…

We are not God (and that's good news)
Jesus works differently than we do, and that's good news. Even when faced with dark seasons of life, when we feel God has abandoned us, we are never alone. Jesus is near to the brokenhearted, and that truth remains, even when we feel alone and in despair. Listen in! redemption church, churches…

Listen in to our joint conversation with Discovery from last week. As we jump into shared worship together, Steve and Robert talk about the theology behind working together for the sake of the gospel. Head over to the Redemption Hill Boise Podcast to listen to the whole thing! redemption church,...

Our last Genesis episode! We wrap it up as we finish Joseph's story and see God's through line of faithfulness in the book. Find more from Redemption Hill at redemptionboise.org, or follow us on Instagram @redemptionboise, and Facebook at Redemption Hill Boise.
-
GENESIS: From Evil to Salvation
God turns evil toward salvation—Joseph forgives, a family is restored, and God’s providence secures a future for His people. Find more from Redemption Hill at redemptionboise.org, or follow us on Instagram @redemptionboise, and Facebook at Redemption Hill Boise.
-
GENESIS: Joseph
We continue Joseph's story this week in Genesis chapters 39-41. God is present in all the unseen work of quiet maturing and growing. Our apologies- our audio on the stream didn't kick on until about half way through the sermon. Find more from Redemption Hill at redemptionboise.org, or follow us…

GENESIS: A Spark in Dry Grass (Genesis 37)
We follow Jacob again this week in Genesis, and are introduced to some new characters: his sons, who, against their will, carry the burden of Jacob's own family wounds. Robert dives into the story of Joseph and his brothers from a new perspective, talking about favoritism, family prejudice and...
-
GENESIS: Jacob Wrestles with God
We pick back up with Jacob again this week, this time examining how a now-older Jacob wrestles with God- and how that wrestling and pain is actually grace. Robert walks through the story of Jacob’s life and challenges us to look at our own lives- how we might be more like striving Jacob than we...
-
GENESIS: Jacob's Ladder (Genesis 28:10-19)
Today’s segment of our Genesis series features a weary Jacob in the desert, a mysterious dream, and a God who is insistent on coming to us. Jessie explores God-dreams and visions, prayers, wrestling with God, and a new way of looking at this somewhat fantastical and familiar story. Listen in to…
more -
GENESIS: Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25)
We’re back to Genesis! Out of the garden and into the wild lands, we’re spending the rest of the spring in the book of Genesis. Andrew led us through a new perspective on the story of Jacob and Esau– and how we might be more like Esau than we might have thought. Listen in to the Redemption Hill...
-
We Had Hoped: Everything, Restored
Have you ever asked the question, “if Jesus has really risen, why is there still suffering in the world?” Using the words of Paul from Romans 8, Robert talks to us about suffering, aches, hopes and our longing to see a more just world– and how God is still making all things new. Listen in to the...
-
We Had Hoped: Work
Once we are in Christ, our calling as Jesus followers transforms. All work is worship, and once Jesus is in us, we carry the Spirit everywhere we go. No matter what we spend our days doing, whether we’re working in our passion or feeding a baby or cleaning the house or grocery shopping, we carry...
-
We Had Hoped: Community
Belonging takes practice. We all know that community is often more inconvenient than otherwise. It requires dedication, vulnerability, and a willingness to be known when we’re at our messiest. Sometimes, it leaves us hurt, deeply lonely, or overwhelmed with longing. There is hope. This week of…

We Had Hoped: Freedom (John 8)
The resurrection is not something that happened to Jesus. It’s something that happened to you in him. What if we told you that you cannot transform yourself into the kind of person you want to be, and that actually, it’s good news? In today’s episode of our mini-Easter-series, Robert talks about...
-
EASTER: When you're at the end of your hope
A seeking heart is a pull towards something you can’t quite name. This Easter, where have you given up hoping? What wishes have you stopped making? What dreams have you let die by the wayside? The good news of Easter is that Jesus draws near in our disappointment and presents us with a new way...
-
GENESIS: Plans and Schemes (Genesis 16-17)
God will chase us down after our schemes fail. For this week’s episode of Genesis, Jessie talks to us about the story of Hagar and the faithfulness of God, as a God who sees and a God who will chase us down. A God who goes looking for all of his children, and who is close to us in our waiting....
-
LENT 5: Study (mini-episode)
This week's spiritual practice is the practice of study. When I read Richard Foster's book Celebration of Discipline 25 years ago for the first time I almost skipped this chapter. It seemed like all we ever did as Church people was study. There was Sunday School and Sermons and Bible Studies and...
-
GENESIS: Believe vs. Believe In (Genesis 16)
“And Abram believed the Lord and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.” For our next episode in our Genesis series, Bob walks through portions of Genesis 16, in which God enacts the most formal covenant in the Bible. Bob urges us to ask the right question–not a question of…
more -
LENT 4: Solitude (mini-episode)
solitude, often referred to as "silence and solitude," does not mean "loneliness," nor does it mean "me time" like watching TV or doing an eye mask. In the same way as the previous disciplines we've discussed (fasting, prayer, and meditation), solitude is removing one thing to make space for...
-
LENT 3: Meditation (mini-episode)
In its simplest explanation, meditation is centering our minds and hearts on the presence of God so that He can bring transformation in us, often in the form of repentance and obedience. It is both listening and responding. With fasting, we talk about withholding something in our lives so that we...
-
LENT 2: Prayer (mini-episode)
Prayer is communing with the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. When we pray we talk and listen to God. We pray to connect to and feel closer to God. We also pray for guidance, for peace, for our own needs, and to intercede for others. It can be silent or spoken, formal or informal, by yourself or in…
more -
GENESIS: The Land That I Will Show You (Genesis 12)
Andrew walks us through the story of Abram’s call to a new land, to abandon the old ways and step into a new season in faith. He connects this call with the calls we experience ourselves, calls to abandon the lies that surround us and move into what is true, trusting that God alone will hold us…
more -
GENESIS: The Lie of Babel (Genesis 10-11)
Work hard. Stay safe. Make your name great. Grab hold of your life and make it into something people will remember and admire, or at least, into something your children can be proud of. Into something that might get us into heaven, if we’re lucky. These are words we often hear, words we often…
more -
GENESIS: A World Gone Wrong (Genesis 6-9)
Launched by the first murder, the new world God’s created has devolved into evil and suffering (not unlike how our world sometimes feels these days, too.) Jessie walks through the Flood narrative, providing fresh insight into the way we typically think about the story of Noah and the Ark–…
more -
LENT 1: Fasting (mini-episode)
Welcome to our Lent series, where we're exploring what it could look like to practice different spiritual disciplines this Lenten season. Our first practice is FASTING. What is fasting? Biblically, fasting most often means abstaining from food for a spiritual purpose. However, the heart of…
more -
GENESIS: Brother's Keeper (Genesis 4-5)
“God hears suffering; nothing is forgotten.” In a moving exploration of the story of Cain and Abel, the famous story of the first brothers and the first murder, Robert reminds us that violence and injustice is never hidden from God. As image bearers, our wellbeing and flourishing is intimately...
-
GENESIS: The Fall (Genesis 3)
We all know the story–the forbidden fruit, the disastrous turn of events in a perfect “utopia,” the snake, the woman, and the man. But do we actually know the right story? Andrew looks at the story in Genesis 3 with the lens of the God we met in the first two chapters, and explains how, if we…
more -
GENESIS: To Be Human (Genesis 2)
Did you know there are two creation stories in Genesis, back to back? The first one tells us about God, and the second tells us about what it means to be human, men and women together on this Earth. Jessie walks us through Genesis 2, and asks us the question: no matter your gender, to what is God...
-
GENESIS: Images of God (Genesis 1:27-2:4)
You are God’s image, a little idol, a representative of God’s presence on earth. You are not a contractor on Earth, or a slave, or a cog in a cosmic machine. You are a child in God’s household, because all of us are made in the image of God. See what this means for you and the way we can live…
more -
GENESIS: Theology Story (Genesis 1:6-24)
Genesis is theology in story form. This week we look at the Bible’s creation narrative and compare it to the creation myths from the Ancient Near East and the story they weave about their own gods. The creation story is full of good news that is as relevant today as it was in the Ancient Near…
more -
GENESIS: In the Beginning (Genesis 1:1-5)
Our Genesis series is off and running. Of course, we’re starting at the beginning, with the prologue to the whole Bible in which God reveals himself to his people with the most beautiful truth of the gospel: God’s word brings light and separates the light from the darkness. Robert reminds us that...
-
A Kingdom of Priests
Did you know that you are called to be a priest? Everyone who decides to follow Jesus is also called into participation in a kingdom of priests, tasked with representing the people to God and God to the people. Kyle looks at Exodus 19, and the story of Moses receiving a message of calling for the...
-
No Resolutions
At the start of the new year, we often are tempted to take on Project Self: stronger, skinnier, healthier, more disciplined, better. But actually… life with Jesus is not about making yourself any type of way, but allowing God to consecrate us, to walk alongside us, to order our lives in a way…
more -
Respond: An Advent Invitation- Wise Men
“Responding to God is to offer our attention.” For our last advent sermon, Jessie talks to us about the Wise Men, and what we can learn from their decision to drop everything to respond to the voice of God in their hearts. Like the wise men, we worship whatever we give our attention to. This…
more -
Respond: An Advent Invitation- Shepherds
“Some things are worth dropping everything for.” Today’s advent meditation circles around the shepherds and the miraculous, mysterious message that came to them in their most ordinary of circumstances. How can we contemplate this same wonder that comes to us in our every day life? What do we do...
-
Respond: An Advent Invitation- Angels
For this week’s advent meditation, Robert talks to us about the weirdest part of the advent story: encounters with angels. He walks us through the angel appearances in the Christmas story–the story of Zechariah, who responded with disbelief, the story of Mary, who responded with surrender, and…
more -
Respond: An Advent Invitation- Prophets
“The real question isn’t ‘is God Speaking?’ The real question is ‘will we listen?’” For our first Sunday in advent, Bob journeys through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, zeroing in on Zechariah’s response to God’s message through the angel Gabriel. This mysterious story of redemption and...
-
Starting Over with God: Lord, Teach Us to Pray
For our last episode of Starting Over with God, Robert talks to us about the core tenant of relationship with God–prayer. He tells us the story of the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to pray in the way He did, and the revolutionary prayer that came after, created as an invitation not to…
more -
Starting Over with God: Connection in Community
Community is complicated. Often, we think we just need to find a new one when we get hurt, that we can just stumble upon something perfect and experience a quick, utopian fix. This week, Bob talks to us about the miscommunications of community–how community won’t solve all your problems, but it…
more -
Starting Over with God: Encounter with Jesus
“An encounter with Jesus is different than just a religious experience.” Tired of religion and performative ritual? Exhausted from riding a roller coaster of self-worth? Andrew talks to us today about how we can settle into an identity that will not launch us every which way, but will ground us...
-
Starting Over With God: Imitate
“Craving of the world leads only to more, and it never satisfies. The way of Jesus is the opposite.” If someone spent a week with you, what would they learn about this way of Jesus? This week, Jessie dives into 1 John to examine what it looks like to actually imitate a life like Jesus’. Once we...
-
Starting Over With God: Born Again
Do you ache to be good? Do you wish you could just start over? There is good news: Jesus doesn’t wait until you die to start making things new. The renewal–the beautiful redirection of our attention–begins now. Listen in as Jessie helps us to consider being “born again” in a new light, and find...
-
Starting Over with God: An Introduction to the Bible
What comes to your mind when you think about the Bible? Excitement? Fear? Disgust? In this world, whether you know it or not, we all have to do something with the Bible– reject it, ignore it, get curious about it, accept it, or something different. What are you going to do with it? Robert talks…
more -
Starting Over with God: A Different Way
Our next episode of Starting Over with God features Andrew as he talks to us about the person of Jesus: who he is, how he feels about us, and the free invitation he offers us. Listen in wherever you get your podcasts! Find more from Redemption Hill at redemptionboise.org, or follow us on…

Starting Over with God: Following Jesus 101- The Opposite of Love
For our third episode of Starting Over with God, Robert takes us through Genesis 3 and explores the problem of sin in the world and the sneaky lies that we still believe today that keep us from experiencing and demonstrating the love of God in the world, the lies that bring destruction directly...
