You ever make a huge decision for God… and then immediately mess it up? In this episode, Josiah talks about Peter messing up and what that moment says about how Jesus handles failure. If you’ve ever wondered if God’s disappointed in you or done giving second chances, this one’s gonna hit home.
If God is real… why doesn’t He just make it obvious? Why not write His name in the sky or give everyone a personal miracle? Wouldn’t that make believing easier? In this episode, Josiah unpacks one of the most honest questions people ask about faith — and what kind of “belief” actually changes your life.
Life can feel like a maze. Everyone’s trying to figure out which path actually leads somewhere good—but what if what feels right isn’t right at all? In this episode, Isaac explores why trusting God can be so hard, especially when what we see seems safer than what He promises. If you’ve ever questioned whether faith actually works in real life—or if God’s way is really better—this one’s for you.
Ever asked God for something—and nothing happened? You’re not alone. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or something way deeper, it’s easy to wonder if prayer even works or if God’s just ignoring you. In this episode, Chuck unpacks one of the wildest stories in the Bible about two people who begged Jesus for help…and how His timing didn’t make sense at all. If you’ve ever felt like God was late, silent, or missing, this conversation might change how you see Him.
Imagine walking into a coffee shop and seeing Jesus laughing with the worst person you can imagine. Not yelling. Not correcting. Just… enjoying them. How offended would you be? That’s exactly what happens in this story. But it turns out that, if you don't believe Jesus can love the most broken of people, then you'll slowly start to believe that He can't love you either.
The "Day of the Lord" is a phrase that shows up all over the Bible. Jesus talked about it all the time. The prophets warned about it. And according to the Bible… it’s coming. But it might not be what you think. And it might be closer than you realize.
We’re in the middle of our series, Lock In: What Jesus Actually Teaches About His Return and the End of the World. In this week’s message, Jesus tells a story about three servants preparing for His return. The first two make God proud. But the third? Apparently, he ends up in hell?? What on earth is this parable about? What is Jesus saying? Turns out, it’s not really about performance... But it is about your heart.
Do you ever feel emotionally or even spiritually burntout? In this message, Josiah shares about hitting that wall himself and what Jesus actually says to do when we feel distant, burned out, or stuck. We talk about what happens when we aim our lives at the wrong things, why loving God and loving people can’t be separated, and how real change doesn’t come from forcing it but from being filled with something better. If you're gassed right now, I think this will help.
You’re not alone if church has felt fake, frustrating, or ineffective. But what if what most people reject about American churches isn’t actually what Jesus intended? This podcast opens up a conversation for skeptics, spiritual wanderers, and the spiritually curious to explore the real mission of Jesus. No pressure, no judgment, just a clear look at the original vision.
There's a very famous story in the beginning of the Bible where God wipes out an entire city called Sodom. Jesus takes this same story and says it's a foreshadowing of the end of the world. But what if the deeper story is about love, warning, and a chance to walk away from what’s killing you? This isn’t fire-and-brimstone yelling. It’s an honest look at the choice we all face: follow God forward, or look back.
Most people hope they’ll be with God after this life but deep down they’re not totally sure. In this episode we explore one of Jesus’ most thought-provoking stories about a wedding with ten bridesmaids and a locked door. We talk about how you can be confident in where you stand with Jesus!
Most people think Noah’s Ark is about animals and rain. But when Jesus talked about it, He was warning us about something much bigger: His return. In this episode, we take a fresh look at an ancient story and what it reveals about the moment Jesus ends evil once and for all.
Most people assume their biggest problem with God is their past—what they’ve done, what they regret, how far they’ve wandered. But what if the thing that actually keeps you from God… is something else entirely? In this message, we talk honestly about the one thing Jesus says He can’t overlook—not because He’s harsh, but because He’s good. It’s not your mistakes. It’s not your doubts. It’s something far deeper—and far more common. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I really good with God?” or “Why c...
