Loving your neighbor as yourself should be easy enough. But what if your neighbor doesn’t look like you, speak the same language as you, or think like you? Jesus gave us the ultimate example of "loving our neighbors" by willingly giving up His life for a world that rejected, abused, and hated Him. Join us in this episode as we talk about our responsibility to speak up for our neighbor, put their needs above our own, and advocate for the oppressed.

Difficulties, anxieties, hardship. All people experience troubles, whether or not they’re Christians. But the grace of God offers us peace in the midst of our storms as we turn our eyes towards Jesus. Do you find yourself “troubled” right now? Let the peace of God enter your heart as He meets you in the whirlwind.

How many times can we say abundant and incredible in one episode? A lot! So often, we miss out on the abundant life because we're scared to take God at His word. But, what if we believed Him, that His promises are true? What if we moved forward, in faith, ready to see Him do something amazing and participate in His work? Jesus has so much for you - are you ready to experience it?

The outcast, the unseen, the forgotten. What do they all have in common? They are seen, loved, and welcomed by God. In this episode, we look at the life (and tears) of Joseph and explore the idea that in Jesus, joy can somehow exist even in the midst of deep sorrow.

If you're a Christian, your entire faith hinges on the Gospel. And yet, we easily forget what the Gospel actually is - we add our own rules and adages to "enhance" it, which in the end actually diminishes its sacred truth. So, what is the Gospel? Listen in to find out!

We can easily forget that we're image bearers of the Most High God, so instead of clothing ourselves in the clean garments He gives us, we put on shame and self-consciousness. But when we recognize that we're wonderfully made, and the humans around us are wonderfully made, we give space for the Spirit to show us what an abundant life without shame can look like.

Sometimes, it's hard to feel like we have the right to enter into God's presence. When depression, anxiety, or worry enter in, we might feel less than or unworthy of being an adopted child of God. But even with those feelings, Jesus loves you, has chosen you, and desires for you to boldly commune with Him.
