You thought you'd dealt with it. You thought you'd moved on. And then something brought it all back — and you realised you haven't moved as far as you thought. Why is forgiveness so hard? And why does it keep coming undone even when you've tried? In this message, Vijay Krishnan introduces two words that reframe the entire conversation — debt and blood. He unpacks why forgiveness isn't just a choice you make once, why the instinct to hold out for payment is more human than we want to admit, and why something that happened 2,000 years ago outside Jerusalem is still the most powerful...

That voice in your head — the one that says you'll never be enough, you always mess things up, nobody really stays — where does it actually come from? In Week 2 of Questions You Can't Shake, Jeff Brodie goes deeper on the inner critic. Why self-esteem and self-compassion can only take you so far. What brokenness has to do with the lies you believe. And why the gospel offers something neither psychology nor self-help can. This isn't about positive thinking. It's about what actually sets you free.

What does it look like when ordinary people get filled with something extraordinary? In the final episode of Closer Than You Think, Jeff Brodie lands the series with the Holy Spirit's most provocative metaphor — fire. Not as spectacle, but as the thing that burns away fear and makes ordinary people bold enough to change the world around them. He tells the story of Peter and John — fishermen who, after Pentecost, stood before the most powerful religious leaders of their day and didn't ask for protection. They asked for more boldness. Then he makes it personal: most of us are settling...

Tom Brady won three Super Bowls in four seasons. Then told a journalist: "I think there's got to be more than this." That moment opens one of the most honest and relatable messages in this series. In Week 3 of Closer Than You Think, Luke Crawford speaks from a refreshingly vulnerable place — someone who's experienced the Holy Spirit's presence and also lived through seasons of real disappointment and confusion about where God is. He explores the ancient vision of Ezekiel 47, where water flows from God's presence into the Dead Sea and brings it to life — and connects it to Jesus'...

Through Acts 6–8, we see the contrast between Philip’s faithful obedience and Simon’s desire to control power for himself.

Have you ever believed in God but struggled to actually experience Him? In this message, Jeff Brodie explores the Holy Spirit as breath—invisible, essential, and life-giving.

This is Week 1 of the Closer Than You Think series: How to Experience God (The Holy Spirit as Breath).

In Week 3 of The Prayer Lab, Vijay Krishnan explores how to pray with someone — not just for them — in a way that feels natural, relational, and real.

Looking at Psalm 139 and introducing the Prayer of Examen, this message offers a practical way to reconnect spiritually and become more aware of God’s presence in everyday life.
