We all hit walls in life—moments when faith, expectations, and our limits collide. A health diagnosis. A broken relationship. The loss of a job. The silence of unanswered prayers.
In Part 3 of Under the Surface, Chris Podlich looks at Abraham’s story in Genesis 22 and shows how the walls we face aren’t the end of our journey, but often the place where God does His deepest work.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, exhausted, or like giving up, this episode will remind you: what feels like the end is often where God begins.

The past isn’t just behind us—it’s inside us.
We inherit values, habits, and emotional patterns from our families—some spoken, some unspoken—that shape the way we live today. For Joseph in Genesis, the pain of betrayal and family dysfunction could have defined him. But instead, God rewrote his story.
In Part 2 of Under the Surface, Chris unpacks what it looks like to face the patterns we didn’t choose, name the wounds we’ve carried, and take steps toward healing. Because your past may shape you, but it doesn’t have to define you.
Whether you’re exploring faith or have been in church for years, this message will help you break free from repeating what you never wanted to carry forward.

We all have things beneath the surface—hidden habits, unspoken hurts, and unprocessed emotions—that quietly shape what everyone sees on the outside.
In Part 1 of our new series Under the Surface, Chris looks at the story of King David in 2 Samuel 11–12, a moment when the unseen in his life overflowed in destructive ways.
We’ll explore why what’s buried often ends up breaking through… and how God invites us to bring even the ugliest parts of ourselves into the light.
Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just exploring faith, this episode will help you see that honesty with God is the first step toward healing.

Prayer was never meant to be a solo conversation.
In Part 3, Sue unpacks the horizontal part of Jesus’ model prayer—where we ask for what we need, seek and extend forgiveness, and ask God to protect us from temptation. It’s about connection, community, and daily dependence on a Father who walks with us through it all.

Left on its own, every church drifts. Not on purpose, but slowly—toward insiders, toward comfort, and away from the mission. In this episode, we explore a moment where Jesus tells three stories about something that was lost… and how heaven responds when it’s found.
Because if we’re not reaching, we’re retreating. And the church was never meant to play it safe.

We all anchor our lives to something. For some, it’s tradition. For others, it’s comfort, success, or a belief system. But what if where you’re anchored is quietly determining how far you’ll actually go?
In this episode, we explore what it means to build a life—and a church—anchored to something stronger than culture or circumstance. Because when you’re anchored to the right thing, you’re free to move forward with purpose.

Ever feel like no matter how much you earn or spend, it’s never quite enough?
In Part 2 of Money Shouldn’t Make You Miserable, Chris talks about the invisible pressure we all feel to chase more — and why that pursuit can quietly wreck our peace.
We look at a teaching from Jesus that flips the script on how we think about money, happiness, and what actually leads to contentment. Spoiler: it’s not about earning more — it’s about changing how we live with what we already have.
