Forgiving someone isn't always easy, especially when they don't deserve it. So how many times do we have to forgive? What if the way we do (or don't) forgive could be the greatest sin of all?

Tolerating Conflic
Dealing with conflict is hard, but pointing out someone else's mistake... Now that's a piece of cake. Or is it? How does Jesus tell us to handle sin and conflict, and how might we be getting it wrong?

Choosing Indifference
Usually we think of sin as all the things we shouldn't have done. But what about the things we've left undone? What if these matter most to Jesus?

Causing Failure
All you need to worry about is being good with God, right? But what if your "goodness" with God causes someone else to stumble? What responsibility do you have for the "goodness" of others?

In The Bible
The Bible has been printed more than any other book. But is it still relevant? What can we know for sure about the Bible? How can this book anchor our lives?

In The Spirit
God, Jesus, and... the Holy Spirit?! Is the Holy Spirit real? If so, what (or who) is it? Where can it be found? How can God's Spirit bring purpose and power to our lives?

In Jesus
Jesus is as famous as they come. But who was he and does it matter? Is he the same as God? Or was he just a man? How can faith in Jesus make a difference today?
May 08, 2016•34 min•Ep. 131
In God
There are as many questions as there are ideas about God. Does he exist? Does he care? Is he in control? How can we anchor ourselves through faith in God?

The Way Of God
Following Jesus means living as a child of God. So what kind of Father is he? How does he relate to his kids? How can we follow the Son in the way of the Father?

The Way Of Faith
The way of Jesus is said to be narrow, not easily followed, and more difficult than a camel passing through the eye of a needle. But then how can anyone live it? What does it take to go this way?

The Way Of Glory
To experience the glory of God is to encounter God's goodness, truth, and beauty, even as it shines through your life to be experienced by others. But how do we come to radiate God's glory from our lives? How do we find it in the midst of our messes?

The Way Of Suffering
When you follow Jesus, where does it take you? Does life get easier or more difficult? Is the path well worn or treacherous? What does it mean to go his way?

Easter Sunday
There may be no idea more intriguing and more compelling than the resurrection of Jesus. This is the foundation of the church and the cornerstone of our faith. But what does this idea - this faith - mean for us today? How can the hope that Jesus is alive transform our lives?

Just Us: The Gospel as Justice
We live in an "us and them" world where we fight for the rights, privileges, and advantage of people who think like us, believe like us, look like us, and live like us. But what about "them"? What about people who think differently, believe differently, look differently, and live differently? What about their rights and privileges? What if "us and them" could become "us for them", or better yet, "just us"?

Desperate Need: The Gospel as Mutuality
As in Euchre, sometimes we think we score the most points by going alone. We think we have no use for others, or at least not those who we see as different or lesser in some way. But what if that's just plain wrong? What if those are the people we most need in the journey of faith? How can we learn to live the gospel as mutuality?

Radical Grace: The Gospel as Peacemaking
When you're friends with someone on the opposite side of a belief than you, one of you is bound to get hurt. So how do we respond? How do we hold our convictions with grace, forgiveness, and understanding? What does it look like to live the gospel as peacemaking?

Ridiculous Welcome: The Gospel as Hospitality
Jesus once said, "When you throw a party, don't invite your friends. Rather invite the homeless, the outcast, the stranger, and the down-and-outer." But did he really mean it? Doesn't that seem a bit ridiculous? But what if we could truly embrace the gospel as hospitality?

The True Identity
After all is said and done, between the miracles and the mysteries, who is Jesus? How can we discover his true identity? What if we could see him for who he really is? And if we do, could that change everything?

Repenting Of Religion
Jesus is known as the most famous religious figure. But the truth is: he didn't always get along with the religious people of his day. So did he come to start a new religion? Is following Jesus about never breaking the rules?

The Best Leftovers
Sometimes it seems like Jesus "works" for some people but not others - that he only helps 'religious people' or 'faithful churchgoers'. But is that who Jesus came for? Is everyone else left out? Who else is welcome to the table?
Jan 24, 2016•32 min•Ep. 114
Walking On Water
Jesus did some incredible things and even helped other people do incredible things too - walking on water as a prime example. But could Jesus really help me? Could Jesus really do incredible things in my life?

Feeding The Multitudes
Jesus is known for miracles, maybe none more famous than feeding multitudes of people with only a few loaves of bread. But are these miracles really possible? And if so, what do they mean for us today?

Christmas At Southridge
Christmas is a special time of year -- and not just because of the fun and festivities of the season -- but because it marks the occasion when God broke into the world in the form of a person, a person who has changed all of human history. As a church, we believe this incredible event calls for an incredible celebration, and that's why Christmas is special at Southridge. More than any other season, Christmas presents a unique opportunity to share the love of Jesus and the difference that he make...

An Indisputable Jesus
Amidst all the debate and the myriad of beliefs, is there one conviction we can cling to more than any other? Is there one source of a love that is truly beyond belief? Is there one gospel that brings all this together?
Dec 20, 2015•27 min•Ep. 110
Disputable Matters
Many prefer to live in a world where everything is black-and-white. But what do we do when even the Bible has grey areas? How do we know what is up for debate and what isn't? Can we do better than just agreeing to disagree on these matters?

The Greatest Belief
There are as many opinions and interpretations on the Bible as there are people who have tried to read it. But is there anything we can all agree on? Are some truths more important than others? What would Jesus say is the greatest belief?

Feeling Convicted
We hold few things more dearly than our beliefs. But what do we do when our convictions create conflicts? Does loving someone I disagree with mean compromising, or disregarding my beliefs altogether? Does what we believe really even matter?
