In this episode, Whit and Casey talk Mark 5, the unseen realm, and the purpose of the church. Show Notes: Listen to the message: Dealing with the Reality of Sin & Finding Victory in...

As the new year begins, we often hear "new year, new you," but maybe it’s not about becoming someone new.

Mark’s Gospel starts not in a city or a temple but in the wilderness. Why? The wilderness holds deep symbolic significance. John the Baptist steps onto the stage of redemptive history in this barren, solitary place. It’s here, in the midst of the dry and desolate, that God begins His work of renewal. In our busy lives, we rarely make space for reflection. What could it look like to step back from comforts or distractions to prepare the way for the Lord? In this episode, Whit and Casey dive deep ...

When we think about God’s work in the world, how often do we limit Him to what we can see or understand? The truth is, the Holy Spirit is always at work—in us, around us, and through us—in ways that far surpass our imagination. But we often miss it, either because we’ve confined Him to our expectations or because we’ve become too self-reliant to notice His movement. In this episode, Whit and Casey talk about the work of the Holy Spirit, the mystery of faith, and what to do when you feel distant ...

In a world of selfish ambition, the church is called to something radically different—a life shaped by gospel culture. While gospel doctrine provides the essential truths we stand on, gospel culture is how we live in response to those truths, embodying them in our everyday actions and relationships. In this episode, Whit and Casey dive into how gospel doctrine and culture go hand in hand and discuss our role in carrying this culture wherever we go. Show notes: Check Out the Message | Gospel Cult...
The Gospel is good news, not good advice. It doesn’t just call us to be better; it invites us into a whole new life in Christ. In an age that says we must define ourselves, gospel doctrine tells us that we’re already defined in the most profound way: loved, redeemed, and called by Jesus. This is the truth that binds His Church together. In this Episode, Whit and Casey explore the history of our individualistic culture and the foundational beliefs that define the Church. Show notes: Check out the...

Let’s be honest—sometimes, marriage can feel like a battleground. We know communication is key, yet, we avoid talking about what's really going on.

We are members of Christ's body, and this belonging informs the way we should love within a marriage. Our commitment to each other in marriage is a covenant, a mutual giving of oneself for the sake of the other. This covenantal love requires vulnerability, sacrifice, and intimacy. But how do we live this out well in a hyper-sexualized world? In this episode, Whit, Casey and, Angela break down Paul’s letter in 1 Corinthians, how we can move through sexual brokenness and dysfunction, and how we ca...
Power is often misunderstood. We tend to associate power with entitlement—something earned or deserved. Yet, in Ephesians 5:25, Paul instructs husbands to “love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This command flips the common understanding of power upside down. Jesus invites us into this countercultural way of living, where the real path to freedom is through service and self-denial. In this episode, Whit, Casey, and Lee dive deeper into the true meaning of...
Submission is a word that often brings with it feelings of apprehension. What did Paul really teach about submission in marriage in Ephesians 5? Paul’s letter was written to a community of Christ-followers, emphasizing unity in the body of Christ, including unity between husband and wife. However, his teachings on submission aren’t meant to be applied rigidly or without pastoral wisdom. In this episode, Whit and Casey explore what submission looks like in ideal and less than ideal situations and...

We all know the importance of our words. Yet, many of us speak without thinking. We don't consider the listener's communication style, how they might receive what we say, or how we can invite Jesus into the conversation. In this episode, we discuss practical ways to learn to speak in a way that your spouse can understand and stay curious in our conversations. It may be tempting to jump right to change how you talk to each other, and while that could bring some quick results, if something deeper ...
Friendship in marriage is not optional; it’s essential. Without it, you’re missing out on the fullness of joy in your relationships.

This is what makes our marriages—and our Christ communities—truly flourish. In this episode, Whit and Lyndsey explore the picture Jesus gives us of true friendship, what it looks like to step into each other’s world, appreciating...
A lot of marriages can feel like two neighboring countries—independent, coexisting, but not really intertwined in purpose. On the other hand, some partners might lose their individuality, becoming overly enmeshed in the relationship. But there’s a middle ground we’re called to move toward: interdependence. In this episode, Whit and Casey explore how couples can find a common horizon, understand the deep meaning behind being "one flesh," and discover the path to becoming the fullest version of th...
In today’s world, relationships often resemble a consumer model—a value proposition where we constantly weigh what we get from the relationship against what we have to put in. It’s a balancing act: Is this still worth it? When the scales tip in the wrong direction, many of us are tempted to move on. This mindset, however, contrasts sharply with the concept of covenant relationships we see in Scripture. In this episode, Whit and Casey talk about creating a foundation of commitment over feelings a...

In this episode, Heather and Jamie dive into a candid conversation about intimacy, aging, recognizing when media crosses the line, and tackling important ...
Marriage is more than just a relationship between two people; it's a profound reflection of how God loves us.

If God is speaking to us through marriage, it’s crucial that we understand what He has to say. In this episode, Whit and Casey discuss Ephesians 4 and unpack the biggest problem to our marriages: self-centeredness and the antidote: the gospel. Show note...
Do I really have to honor someone I disagree with? Malachi, the last prophetic voice before the coming of Christ, addresses a generation that had become complacent, dishonoring, and lacking integrity, and his message still resonates today. Malachi reminds us that our actions, both in small and large matters, reflect our understanding of who God is. In this episode, Whit and Casey discuss reverence, honor, and integrity in our relationship with God and others. Show notes: Check out the message: M...
