the Church Podcast

Focus: When it comes to sharing your confidence in Jesus, do you think you have to win an argument or answer every difficult question? Is that why we are so often reluctant to witness? Peter reminds believers living in a skeptical culture to be prepared. Not because they're experts, but because Jesus has become the hope that shapes their lives. Gentle confidence, humble conviction, and genuine love often speak louder than polished arguments. God simply asks His people to be ready whenever someone asks about the hope they carry. 1 Peter 3:15

the Church Podcast

Focus: Questions about what God commands seem to frequently aim for the minimum required to fulfill the law. What does a minimum requirement for the law of love look like? The Rhythm of Grace teaches us again to begin with God’s love for us, how much He loves and how far He goes. The question changes from how far must I go, to how far does love go? Luke 10

the Church Podcast

Focus: The rhythm of Grace in the kingdom of God fundamentally begins with God showering us with His grace. Then, from the position of those who need God’s grace, and receive it, we share that grace with others. When we’re in conflict, both parties are those who need God’s grace, and both would be lost if God limited forgiveness to seven times. Matthew 18

the Church Podcast

Focus: Life’s rhythms can weigh us down, and leave us tired and weary. Jesus invites us to come to him, to be yoked to him, and to find rest as we abide in and with our humble servant King. Matthew 11:28–30

the Church Podcast

Focus: We can easily waste so many moments looking for the next thing that promises to make us happy, only to find that those things don’t deliver lasting happiness either, so we have more to strive for. Paul challenges us to be content with enough food and clothing, and seeing any extra as a gift to be used to bless others. The Gospel in our homes replaces the greedy storing up of more and more with trust in God, contentment, space to be present, and sharing with others. 1 Timothy 6

the Church Podcast

Focus: The effects of the peace Jesus restored through his life of love, his death and resurrection, echo and ripple through our lives and world. As our lives continue to be woven into the fabric of God’s story, as the hands and feet of Christ we continue the work of announcing peace and God’s mercy, as we also show God’s mercy and work for justice every day in our lives and in our community. Micah 6:8

the Church Podcast

Focus: God calls us to imitate him and live a life filled with love following the example of Christ. In our closest relationships we’re called to radical submission, giving up our own preferences and even our lives as Christ gave himself up for us. It is a complete paradigm shift from how the rest of our society encourages and values living. But it’s a beautiful picture of peace, love, and mutual support. Ephesians 5–6

the Church Podcast

Focus: God is just as present in the boardroom, the classroom, the kitchen, the construction site, and the neighborhood as He is in the sanctuary. Every conversation, every task, and every act of service becomes another thread in His unfolding tapestry. When Christ is at the center, there is no such thing as ordinary work, only ordinary people participating in God's extraordinary purposes. There are no ordinary Mondays in the Kingdom of God. Colossians 3

the Church Podcast

Focus: Jesus never hid the price tag of discipleship. Following Him means laying down lesser kingdoms so we can receive the greater one. Every "no" we say to ourselves becomes another "yes" to the life Christ is calling us into. What feels costly in the moment becomes the pathway to a freedom, joy, and purpose that cannot be found any other way. The cross always costs something—but it never leaves you with less. Luke 14

the Church Podcast

Focus: Following Jesus isn't about adding Him to our lives; it's about giving Him our lives. The old self no longer gets the final word because Christ has taken up residence within us. Day by day, He is rewriting our story from the inside out, replacing fear with faith, pride with humility, and self-centeredness with sacrificial love. The most convincing evidence that Jesus is alive may be the life He is living through His people. Christ doesn't simply improve your life—He becomes your life. Galatians 2:20
