The foundation. In this teaching, we’ll explore: Why our foundation matters The reality of life’s storms What it means to build on the Rock Practical steps for building a life that lasts Visit us...

333: Compassion
the simplyRevised podcast
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to walk past someone in need? Sometimes we tell ourselves, “It’s not safe,” or “Someone else will help.” Jesus told a story about this very thing, the Good Samaritan. Two religious leaders passed by a man beaten and left for dead. But a Samaritan, someone from a group despised by the Jews, stopped. He cared for the man and made sure he was safe. The point?

325: Into The Wilderness
the simplyRevised podcast
The wilderness is one of the Bible’s most profound and repeated images. It is not simply a geographic location; it is a symbol, a space where people are tested, where comforts are stripped away, and where God reshapes identity. For Israel, Elijah, John the Baptist, and even Jesus, the wilderness becomes a place of divine encounter and transformation. Our series, The Wilderness: Where God Forms His People, will explore how the wilderness is not only a part of the biblical story, but ours as well.
