Are You Supposed to Love Yourself?
Does God’s Word tell us that we are supposed to love ourselves? And if so, what is that supposed to look like?

Jesus Offers Peace: Misplaced Hope and Dealing with Anxiety
In the wake of another election season, we have the chance to get a glimpse of our hearts and where we may be misplacing our hope. This misplaced hope often leads to anxiety. Ben discusses how to place our hope in Jesus in a way that practically applies to our day to day life.

A Conversation On Loneliness
At one or another, we can all struggle with loneliness, listen in as Ben and Cody walk us through what to do with that emotion, the fears and lies underneath it and the truths that help us fight it.
-
Performance vs. Identity
It's human nature to want to achieve. To be seen and known and admired. We stack ourselves up against one another through work and relationships and accomplishments. And those very things are where we're all tempted to put our identity, to seek satisfaction. And maybe that's you too, and maybe…

Sufferer, Sinner and Saint
Suffering is inevitable, but how we respond can show us a lot about ourselves and what we believe about the Lord. Listen in as Robert walks us through our different perspectives in suffering: sufferer, sinner and saint.
-
The Why and How of Reconciliation
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be ministers of reconciliation. It starts with forgiveness, something that Christ has already made available to us, but in practice reconciliation can be hard to pursue. Join us as Ben walks us through the how and why of reconciliation.
-
What Jesus Has to Say About Pride and Humility
We’re all prone to pride and we’re all called to humility. Listen in as Ryan McCarthy walks us through Luke 18:9-14 and shows us a story Jesus used to teach his audience about what pride and humility look like and how one leads to death and the other to life.
-
Jesus as Pursuer: How He Draws the Prodigals Home
In Luke 15, we see the story of the Prodigal son and how he looks for satisfaction in all the wrong places. If you’re familiar with the story, you know he’s welcomed home by a loving and gracious father that gives us a picture of how our heavenly father loves us. A detail that often gets…

Compassion Instead of Condemnation
John 8:3-11 is a story that shows us that Jesus is compassionate. Not just in His forgiveness of our sins but in how He calls us to live. Even in our worst moments, when He could meet us with condemnation, He instead looks on us with compassion. Does that truth impact your day-to-day? Jesus knows...
-
Jesus Sees Us, Accepts Us and Transforms Us
Acceptance is something we all desire. And we look for it in all sorts of places. But we were designed to find true acceptance and full satisfaction in Christ alone. In Luke 19, we see a story of Jesus seeing, accepting and transforming someone no one would have bet on. Praise God, He does the…

What the Story of Hosea Teaches Us about Worship
The story of Hosea paints a beautiful picture of how God pursues us. We are prone to wander. We settle for far less than God's best. We are quick to choose things over God even when they lead to destruction. But God, in His kindness and mercy, pursues us and restores us. Listen in as Ben unpacks...
-
What the Prodigal Son Teaches Us about Worship
We were created to worship, but we are prone to worship and put our hope in things that were not designed to satisfy. The story of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:11-32 shows us what it looks like to chase after things that won't satisfy us, fulfill us, or meet our ultimate needs, and how God...
-
The Nagging Presence of Loneliness
How are we supposed to handle the nagging presence of loneliness? Whether it's loud or quiet, whether you're aware of it or not, we all wrestle with wanting to be known, loved and accepted. Join us as Ryan teaches about how God answers the loneliness we so often feel. For more about this…

Who Is the Holy Spirit?
We want peace, healing and love — and we look for these things everywhere — but oftentimes we're looking in the wrong places. Did you know we've been given these things already? God has given us His Spirit to live with and help us as we live for Him. What an awesome promise! Join us as Ben shares...
-
Seeing Jesus for Who He Really Is
Christianity can be confusing. Maybe it's because our experiences have shaded our view of the gracious God who is supposed to love us where we are. Join us as we unpack the good news of who Jesus really is. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where we are! And that's why our ministry is called...
-
Seeing God as Father: How Experiences Shape Our Perspective
Do you believe God is a perfect Father? If the experience with the dad you grew up with left you really hurt, or your dad was gone from your life, you have a skewed view of father. Or maybe you have a great relationship with your dad, but it's hard to see God taking over that role in your life....
-
When We've Been Hurt | Exploring Doubts about Church People
If God is supposed to heal and "bind up" our wounds, why do people in the church re-open them or make them worse? Let's talk about what's gone wrong within church community, what expectations we have or should have, and the way we are supposed to define and live out God's love with each other. We...
-
Is Jesus the Only Way? | Exploring Doubts About the Exclusivity of Christ

-
When God Allows Suffering | Exploring Doubts from Our Pain
We can't deny that pain and suffering are realities in the world we live in. Yet, in churches around the world, a message is preached that there is a God who is in control. It seems like the we're left with only two options: God is cruel, or God is not really in control. Is He a loving and...
-
Where We Take Our Doubts
If you think people in the Bible didn’t doubt God, you should probably doubt that thought! They had their trust issues with Him just like we do today, and yet, the story of God through the Bible reveals a couple of very important things about God and His creation: He is a perfect and able…

Distorted Dating | Seeing Clearly How to Date, Marry and Love Deeply

The Narrow Road to Unity | Navigating Race and Politics as a Follower of Christ

Who You Say I Am
We're constantly asking ourselves who we are. We develop, work on, exercise, mature, educate and refine ourselves; and we ask a lot of questions along the way. Questions like: "Who do you want me to be?" or if we're feeling particularly healthy, "Who do I want to be?" But the reality underneath…

I Pledge Allegiance to ... | The Kingdom
Did you know there’s a right and wrong way to follow Jesus? Did you know the teachings of Jesus aren’t suggestions on ways we should live? When Jesus came, He came to establish His kingdom. And like any kingdom, there are expectations of how its citizens are to function. The Sermon on the Mount…
