What if your deepest longings aren’t bad, they’re just aimed too low? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil and Scott dig into Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana and the details that didn’t make it into Sunday’s message. They talk about servants hauling heavy jars, why obedience often feels inconvenient, and how our everyday desires point to something far bigger than we expect. From baby pools at the beach to the smell of bread outside a packed restaurant, this conversation keeps circling one question: Are we settling for the sample when Jesus is offering the...

What does it really mean to call Jesus “the Lamb of God”? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott to unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s message. From a very real and very unpredictable lamb on stage to the deep theology behind penal substitutionary atonement, they explore why starting the year with Jesus changes everything. The conversation moves from Genesis to the Gospel of John, from Passover streets stained with blood to our everyday temptation to earn what God freely gives. Todays conversation is rooted in the hope that we are sons and daughters and...

What happens when the “problem child” grows up to lead the church? And what if the real prodigal in Jesus’ story isn’t the son at all? This week on The Cutting Room Floor Podcast, Neil sits down with Scott to unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon on Luke 15. They talk about why the parable is really about an extravagant Father, not just a reckless son. Scott shares the parts he had to cut, the cultural context we often miss, and the symbolism behind robes, rings, and pigs. Scott opens up about getting kicked out of school and the people who refused to give up on him....

What if becoming “different and better” takes longer than we’d like? And what if that slowness is actually grace? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, we sit down with Scott Nickell and Jon Weece to talk through what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon. The conversation moves from the weight of finishing a season, to the quiet faithfulness God builds over decades, to why ministry still comes down to loving the one right in front of you. This episode reflects on tested faith, spiritual patience, and the kind of obedience that grows slowly. It’s honest, grounded, and full...

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...

This week on The Cutting Room Floor, we sit down with Scott Nickell and Jon Weece to talk through what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon. The conversation moves from the weight of finishing a season, to the quiet faithfulness God builds over decades, to why ministry still comes down to loving the one right in front of you.
This episode reflects on tested faith, spiritual patience, and the kind of obedience that grows slowly. It’s honest, grounded, and full of reminders that God is faithful in every season, especially the transitional ones.
The challenge:
Slow down. Be patient. Stay intentional. God isn’t finished with you yet and the work He’s doing now is shaping something better.
Hosts: Neil Gregory, Scott Nickell & Jon Weece
