The Cutting Room Floor | Year In Review
Southland Christian Church
What does it look like to pray when you’re out of control? And what happens when desperation becomes the doorway to deeper trust? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Matt Williams to unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon on desperation and prayer. From hospital rooms to unanswered prayers, they talk honestly about what it means to depend on God when control slips through your fingers. The conversation moves from the Garden of Gethsemane to everyday life, parenting, grief, career changes, and reframes prayer as relational, not transactional. It’s a...

The Cutting Room Floor | John the Baptist Knew
Southland Christian Church
What happens when God breaks 400 years of silence? What if Christmas isn’t just comfort and joy, but a call to clear the way? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil and Scott go deeper into Christmas According to Kids, Part 2, unpacking the story of John the Baptist, Mary, Elizabeth, and the moment when God’s long silence finally ends. They explore how ancient prophecy collides with everyday faith, why John’s whole life was about getting out of the way, and how Christmas awakens a deep longing, even in people far from God.

The Cutting Room Floor | Mary Knew
Southland Christian Church
What if the wonder you lost somewhere between wrapping paper, deadlines, and traffic could actually come back and lead you straight to Jesus? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott to talk Christmas nostalgia, and Mary’s fierce childlike faith. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, the conversation invites us to look through the eyes of a teenager from Nazareth, one who didn’t just hope God could move, but trusted He would. Mary’s response wasn’t sentimental; it was courageous. Saturated in Scripture, rooted in promise, she embraced a calling far...

The Cutting Room Floor | Love and Respect vs. Bitterness and Resentment
Southland Christian Church
What if the love you’re giving, and the love you’re expecting, aren’t the same thing? In this week’s episode of The Cutting Room Floor, Neil and Scott wrap up an 11-week journey through men, women, and marriage. They explore what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon, from C.S. Lewis insights, to Greek word studies on love, to the work that needs to be done in every relationship. Together they unpack why fixing our eyes on Jesus is the only way marriage makes sense at all. Challenge: This week, choose one action that demonstrates love or respect, and practice it without...

This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Matt Williams to unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon on desperation and prayer. From hospital rooms to unanswered prayers, they talk honestly about what it means to depend on God when control slips through your fingers. The conversation moves from the Garden of Gethsemane to everyday life, parenting, grief, career changes, and reframes prayer as relational, not transactional. It’s a reminder that surrender isn’t weakness; it’s training for trust.
The challenge:
As you step into a new year, don’t just ask what you want to add. Ask what God is inviting you to lay down. Where might surrender make room for deeper dependence?
Hosts: Neil Gregory & Matt Williams
