Episodes

Come & Die

All wealth, power, relationships, and earthly accolades lead us into a false rule of our lives. Jesus calls us to give Him back the throne, that we may truly live as stewards in His kingdom.

Honor & Blessing

A man gains wisdom with the fear of the Lord, but how does the wise man live his life? It is one marked by reverence, submission, and delight.

Good Men Behaving Badly

Proverbs contrasts the wise man against three other types—the fool, the simpleton, and the evil one. But the good news of the gospel is that no one is stuck in these lesser categories. And how might they make this move? By fearing the Lord.

What Makes a Man?

In our society, masculinity seems to either be vilified or a cheap machismo is offered up in its place. So, we look to the Scriptures for what it means to be a man.

He Is Alive

If Jesus of Nazareth actually rose from the dead, it should change everything about our lives. It would reframe our past, bring peace to our present, and set up a future hope that pulls us forward. The witnesses, His Word, and the Church declare, “He has risen!”

Apr 20, 2025

Almighty

God knows everything, can do anything, and is everywhere in His fullness. He is who He is. The Great I Am—-the Lord.

Apr 13, 2025

Unchanging

We are always becoming and in motion. We are constantly unconstant, and to slow down is to die. But God never changes. His stability does not stagnate. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Apr 06, 2025

Eternal

In the grand scope of eternity, we are hardly here at all. But our God is without beginning, without end, and without the succession of time.

Mar 30, 2025

Transcendent

God is uncreated. He is above all things. The expanse of His riches is immeasurable. His wisdom and knowledge are incomprehensible. His justice is perfect and His ways are untraceable. And still, He invites us to know Him.

Mar 23, 2025

Yahweh

Before the beginning, there was God. He had no starting place. He was, He is, and He is to come. We had no words for Him, so He defined Himself. His attributes call us to come and see that He is not like us, and this is good.

Mar 17, 2025

Watch & Pray

Jesus has not yet returned, but this is good news for those who wait. There is still time to follow, repent, learn, practice, and keep our lights burning in hopeful expectation of His arrival.

Revival

Thousands of students are getting baptized into the faith on American college campuses. Godly curiosity is blooming among Gen Zers. Around the world communities are turning to Jesus. God is on the move, but could we miss it?

Find and Form

From the miry mines of humanity, God has seen fit to excavate, clean, and begin the slow work of making us look more like His treasured Son. He chisels away what isn’t needed and forms us into a people of His own possession.

Feb 24, 2025

The Doorway and the Pathway

All of humankind’s greatest achievements pale in comparison to the work of our greater God. In mercy, He has called us to join Him in this work. Faith started this journey, and it will sustain us along the way.

Feb 16, 2025

Get in the Game

God desires kids and students to know and worship Him. The harvest is plentiful! And if we are willing, we can perpetuate this gospel legacy, showing the next generation who their true Savior is.

Feb 09, 2025

Priests in the House of God

We do not live as consumers of divine goods, but as priests on duty offering God a sacrifice of praise. We will proclaim His excellencies for generations to come.

Feb 02, 2025

Nations

God loves the people of the world and has a strategy to reach them. God made peace between us and Himself and has entrusted us to bring the gospel to the world as ministers of His reconciliation.

Jan 26, 2025

Harmony

Racism is rooted in sin and an affront to the "Imago Dei" established by God in humanity. The only antidote to our checkered past and our broken present is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jan 19, 2025

Life

We believe and declare that every human is made in the image of God and has dignity, value, and worth. We advocate for human life and see others not as commodities or enemies, but as God’s image bearers.

Jan 12, 2025

Human Flourishing

Jesus offers the abundant life. He desires for humans to flourish, and His people are His plan to that end. When trials come, Jesus' plan holds fast. He uses all things for our good and calls us to open-handed surrender.

Jan 06, 2025

Habakkuk’s Song

Surveying the injustice before him, the prophet Habakkuk questions God. How can this evil persist with God on His throne? The Lord assures Habakkuk that a plan is in place and He is at work among His people.

Dec 29, 2024

Heralding the King

The pronouncement of God’s glorious plan and the culmination of all His prophecies came first to the shepherds. His kingdom would be different and this great, scandalous exchange of death for life was first offered to the outcast.

Dec 22, 2024

The Path to Joy

Overcome with her new position as the mother of our Lord, Mary sings her Magnificat to God. She chooses worship over worry, humility over pride, and remembrance over forgetfulness, modeling to us the path of ever-increasing joy.

Dec 15, 2024

The Incarnate Lord

It can be easy to think that Jesus showed up “all of a sudden” to be Messiah, perform miracles, die, and resurrect, but He has always been. He is the eternal, active agent holding all things together by the Word of His power. He was with God from the beginning, and, even in the womb, He was Lord.

Dec 08, 2024

Humble and Lowly

As we read and recount the story of Christmas, it is apparent that God chooses the meek and the lowly to be recipients of His blessing. He uses the most unexpected people to set in motion the most extraordinary story ever told.

Dec 02, 2024

Gratitude & Gladness

Ninety percent of our culture’s current messaging is bent to the negative, culminating in an “age of anxiety.” But God offers us a joy detached from life’s circumstances and a peace that holds and guards us forever.

Nov 24, 2024

Set Apart & Sent

We are passionate and intentional about lost people coming to faith in Jesus and churches being planted in the cities of greatest need. This weekend we commissioned the Youngs to go plant a church in west Fort Worth, Texas.

Nov 19, 2024

Ambassadors

Because of Christ, we regard no one according to their flesh, but see God’s image in them. As ministers of reconciliation, we must never forget that His arms are not too short to save whomever He wishes.

Nov 10, 2024

Jesus Is Lord

Jesus is referred to as “Lord” in Scripture 750 times. It is His most frequent title and His most subversive. In the Roman empire, Christians resisted Caesar’s perverse “family values” and instead lived by countercultural ethics and morals, recognizing Jesus “is the head of all rule and authority.”

Nov 03, 2024

Protection and Provision

All authority belongs to God. All government authorities are mere stewards of His authority. So we as children of God and temporary citizens of earth seek to obey the law, do good in our cities, and push against the darkness of our day.
