Episodes
What Our World Needs Now, Part 1: No Substitute // Andy Stanley
The Holy Spirit was given to us not so we could be more spiritual, but so we could become more mature.
Easter 2024: Didn't See It Coming // Andy Stanley
Despite Jesus predicting it multiple times, eyewitnesses were shocked to learn God had raised Jesus from the dead. And what God did for Jesus, he can do for you.
Ekklesia, Part 6: The Enemy Within // Andy Stanley
It’s easy to believe the greatest enemy of the church comes from outside the church. Unfortunately, the church’s greatest threat is right in the middle of it.
Ekklesia, Part 5: The Wonder of It All // Andy Stanley
The message of the church is a message for the world.
Ekklesia, Part 4: Big and Bold // Andy Stanley
Early Christians were bold, confident, and courageous. How we pray is an indicator if we’ve strayed from that.
Ekklesia, Part 3: Our Turn // Andy Stanley
Provide for the next generation what you wish the previous generation had provided for you.
Ekklesia, Part 2: Opening Day // Andy Stanley
When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.
Ekklesia, Part 1: What's in a Name? // Andy Stanley
Being part of a local gathering of Jesus followers means you are part of something big. It’s up to each generation to determine what Christianity looks like, sounds like, and reacts like.
Prodigals, Part 3: The Heart of the Father // Steven Lee
If you do not see God as a father, you will not see yourself as a son or daughter.
Prodigals, Part 2: Reckless // Steven Lee
We all have a tendency to drift from God, but we’re never too far from God to restore our relationship with him.
Prodigals, Part 1: A Distant Country // Steven Lee
When we get lost, it’s often the result of our own decisions—we wander, drift, or even run away from God. In the parable of the lost son, Jesus sheds light on how God views us when our choices lead us away—and how he responds when we’re ready to come home.
A Better Question, Part 2: Filled Full // Andy Stanley
If the only things that concern you are about you, there is work to do. Ultimately, we save ourselves from ourselves by choosing not to be all about ourselves.
A Better Question, Part 1: About You // Andy Stanley
If something about the world is broken and it breaks your heart, there’s an opportunity to be a part of fixing it.
Deeper and Wider Than Ever // Andy Stanley
We believe following Jesus makes your life better and makes you better at life, and we want our local church to inspire people to follow him. In this message, Andy Stanley talks about how and why we do church the way we do.
Christmas at Decatur City // Steven Lee
The next time you feel insignificant or unqualified, remember the Christmas story. It’s a powerful reminder that our worth comes from God. He sees us, loves us, and wants to partner with us to invite others into God’s family.
The Way In A Manger, Part 3: The Way of Love // Andy Stanley
During this time of year, we engage our imaginations as we embrace the magic of Christmas. Let’s also imagine what the world would be like if we fully embraced the way of Jesus—the way of love.
The Way In A Manger, Part 2: The Way of Life // Andy Stanley
Jesus came to show us not only the way back to God, but the way back to others as well. As people who have been reconciled to God, we should pursue reconciliation with people whenever possible.
The Way In A Manger, Part 1: Dead Ends // Andy Stanley
Have you ever felt like you've lost your way? Usually by the time we realize we’re lost, we’ve been lost for quite some time. And we instinctively ask, "What should I do?" Instead, there’s a different question to consider.
Money Talks, Part 3: Keep Track // Andy Stanley
It’s easier to keep track of something than to catch up with it. That’s especially true of our money. If our money could talk, it would say, “I’m easy to track, but lose track of me and you will lose your peace of mind.”
Money Talks, Part 2: Send Me Away // Andy Stanley
Are you mastering your money or being mastered by it? Maybe it’s time to flip the script. Instead of striving to have enough money to satisfy a me-first appetite, Jesus encouraged his listeners to have an others-first approach.
Money Talks, Part 1: I Mean Well // Andy Stanley
If our money could talk, what would it tell us? You might be shocked to find out that what our money would say is pretty close to what Jesus did say—and what we should still consider today. Does our money add meaning to our lives or is it the meaning of our lives?
Under The Circumstances, Part 3: For Those Who Doubt // Andy Stanley
Doubt doesn't have to be an off-ramp to faith. In fact, it's a natural part of the journey.
Under The Circumstances, Part 2: Promises, Promises // Andy Stanley
No matter if our current season of life is easy or difficult, we strive to fix our eyes on Jesus instead of our circumstances.
Under The Circumstances, Part 1: When Life Happens // Andy Stanley
Our circumstances are not an indicator of God’s absence.
Fatal Distractions, Part 2: Fog, Fires, and Fear // Joel Thomas
Your great work is to identify the distractions that keep you from the “problem” that you are uniquely positioned to solve.
Fatal Distractions, Part 1: Great Work! // Joel Thomas
Great work is often found on the other side of a terrifying longing. How could clarity regarding your “terrifying longing” reduce the allure of the distractions you’re most susceptible to?
Made For More, Part 2 // Steven Lee
Made For More, Part 1: Made For More // Steven Lee
Be Rich 2023 // Andy Stanley with Hal Donaldson
As we see in this interview with Hal Donaldson, sometimes difficult circumstances can inspire people to do something great.
