Episodes

  1. Selah in Psalm 3

    This is a very practical way to reflect on God’s truth using Psalm 3.

  2. Selah

    A look at the short word Selah and an invitation to rest.

  3. New Year, New Mercies

    A reflection on the new year ahead

  4. Did Jesus Ever Consider Sinning?

    Did Jesus Ever Consider Sinning? How would you answer? What Scripture would you use? Not sure how to answer? I’ll give you a couple of places to start.

  5. An Invitation to Worship Jesus from Matthew 2

    Why does it matter the magi are from the east? Why would this story be provocative to its early readers? Who do you align with in the story?

  6. What Really Matters - 2 Peter 1:5-7 Part 2

    What does Jesus’ friend Peter think is important? What should we as believers never lose sight of? Listen to find out.

  7. What Really Matters When Following Jesus

    No one wants to be described as ineffective or unfruitful in their faith. But how do we know? Peter tells us. Check it out.

  8. Jonah Takeaways

    We’ve wrapped up our study of Jonah. Here are six themes/takeaways. What stands out to you?

  9. Jonah 4

    Why was Jonah so angry? Is there hope for someone like Jonah? Come look at the connections chapter 4 makes to the very beginning of Genesis and be prepared to have God ask you the same question he asks Jonah.

  10. Jonah 3 - God Gives Grace to Gentiles

    What’s with Jonah’s short message? Did the Ninevites really repent? Why doesn’t the story end here? Let’s dive in to Jonah 3!

  11. Jonah 2

    What’s with the big fish? Was Jonah’s prayer sincere? Join us as we dive back into the book of Jonah.

  12. Correcting the Christmas Story

    Where did Mary give birth? Who would have been around? Why have we been mad at someone who probably never existed (hint: innkeeper)? Let’s take a closer look at the Christmas story in Luke 2.

  13. Jonah 1:4-16

    Why did God send the storm? Who really worships the LORD? Come explore Jonah 1 with me.

  14. Study of Jonah 1:1-3

    Who is Jonah? Who are the Ninevites? What’s God’s message all about? Bonus: why are the first three verses actually pretty provocative?

  15. Book of Jonah Intro

    Jonah is probably the most well known and least understood prophetic book in the Bible! Join us as we kick off our study of this short but surprising book.

  16. Church, We Have a Prayer Problem

    Statistics paint a grim picture of the church’s prayer life. How do we recover? What do we do? The answer isn’t another program, but small changes to our everyday lives.

  17. A Wise Thought about Spiritual Preparation

    What is your morning routine? How much time do you spend preparing your outward appearance? What about your inner self? You won’t find the one size fits all “perfect” answer on how to start your day here, but hopefully it will provide you space to consider appropriate steps for your life.

  18. Psalm 100

    Psalm 100 is simple enough to enjoy at its most basic level. But it’s also incredibly rich with meaning to be discovered as you dive into its depths. Come take a look with me!

  19. What Do We Value More? The Commands of God or Traditions of Men?

    Come think with me about how we worship and love for God. Do we worship Him the way he wants or how we’ve become accustomed? Take some time to truly reflect on what we value the most.

  20. Read Through the Bible (You can do it and it’s worth it!)

    This is one of the best habits you can start. In this episode, we will talk about the benefits to reading through Scripture, address some objections we all have and I’ll give some tips that have helped me along the way. I know it’s intimidating, but give it a chance.

  21. Correcting Expectations About the Race of Faith in Hebrews 12:1-2

    Our expectations determine our perception of reality. They impact how we prepare. When it comes to the race of faith, do we have the right expectations? Has that hindered our preparation?

  22. Come and See!

    In John 1, Philip invites Nathanael to “come and see” Jesus. We don’t have the physical, in the flesh Jesus with us today so what are we inviting people to “come and see”?

  23. Spiritual Breathing

    Breathe in. Breathe out. Hear. Obey. Let’s talk about how important it is to monitor our spiritual breathing.

  24. The “Extraordinary” Christian

    In the few days before and after my dad’s passing, people left these amazing tributes reflecting on his life. As I read these “extraordinary” thoughts , God reminded me of how normal they should be followers of Jesus.

  25. Grieving, Emotions and Scripture

    This is the first episode back after my dad passed away in early April. It’s been a hard last month and I’m just sharing what I’m learning as I process through the grief. The Bible makes it clear, in Jesus’ examples in particular, that it’s ok to struggle with pain and grief.

  26. Peace - Finding Light in Dark Times (reflection on Philippians 4:4-9)

    How does knowing Jesus change the way we walk through adverse circumstances? God cares about our peace now. These verses aren’t a magical pill but they do give us a way to find peace in the midst of hardship.

  27. Context, Social Media and Applying Scripture

    This is the second mini-episode: a quick, concise conversation about something I’m learning. Today’s topic: the need to make sure we listen to the writer’s intent before we try and apply the passage of Scripture.

  28. S.O.A.P.S. - A Simple but Effective Bible Study Tool

    Today is the first of many episodes where I’ll share some helpful tools for spiritual growth. S.O.A.P.S. is a great tool for both long time followers of Christ and those just beginning. Praying you find it helpful!

  29. Faith Talk isn’t Weird (or at least it shouldn’t be!)

    This is our first mini-episode. A quick, concise conversation about something I’m learning. Today’s topic: the need for believers to learn to talk with each other about their faith.

  30. Salvation is the Starting Line

    Following Jesus is not an end. It’s the beginning of a new life, empowered by God. His goodness saturates every part of our lives and not just those considered “religious”.
