Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 28 05/19/2026

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 28 Listen to Pastor Matt as he further unpacks Genesis 28 in this week's Unsaid On Sunday as he addresses topics from the text like the further rejection of Esau, the motif of exile, and Jacob's lack of faith in response to God. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/41351685

The One About Injuries and Disabilities 05/13/2026

The One About Injuries and Disabilities We conclude our latest Talks on the Road counseling series by discussing how Christians can thoughtfully care for and encourage those walking through physical diseases, injuries, and disabilities. Often, it can be difficult to know what to say or how to help when someone is suffering in these ways. Listen in as Pastor Matt, Candace, and Pastor Joe close out this counseling series with a conversation on how believers can respond with wisdom, compassion, and biblical care. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/41271530

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 27 05/12/2026

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 27 Did Rebekah act in faithful obedience to God’s promises, or did she sin in the deception of Isaac? In this episode, we wrestle with one of the most difficult questions in Genesis 27. Knowing that God had already declared “the older shall serve the younger,” Rebekah seeks to secure the blessing for Jacob through manipulation and deceit rather than trusting the Lord to accomplish His Word in His own way. Was her motive righteous while her methods were sinful? Or was her entire approach an act of unbelief? Listen to Pastor Matt as he further unpacks this part of Genesis 27. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/41265720

Listen in as they unpack what faithful navigation of the digital age can look like. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/41169400

The One About Decision Making & God's Will 04/29/2026

Unsaid on Sunday: Genesis 25 04/27/2026

Unsaid on Sunday: Genesis 25 Sunday morning, we walked through Genesis 25 and saw the depth of God’s undeserved grace on display. While there was much to unpack, we weren’t able to fully explore the significance of the birthright given to Jacob instead of Esau. Listen as Pastor Matt helps us consider the end of the chapter and the grace of God at work in His sovereign purposes. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/41035700

The One About Pornography 04/22/2026

The One About Pornography In this episode of our biblical counseling series, we address the struggle of pornography—an issue that reaches deep into the heart. Our prayer is that you would be equipped to pursue those who are struggling, anchored in the nearness and unchanging character of God. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40972435

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 24 04/20/2026

The One About the Mission of the Church With the Church History Bros 04/15/2026

The One About the Mission of the Church With the Church History Bros The Church History Bros are back! In this episode, they tackle The Mission of the Church—what it is, what it entails, and why it matters for every believer. Join the guys as they explore how the early church understood this mission, how it was lived out throughout church history, and how Christ defines the mission of His church through Scripture. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40878230

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 23 04/13/2026

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 23 We want to further reflect on Genesis 23. While much of our focus was on the transaction surrounding Sarah’s burial—the purchase of the cave—we didn’t fully explore the deeper shape of the gospel woven into this text. God is the sovereign King over all things, and the aim of all redemption history is this: that His people would behold His face. This is the grand storyline of Scripture. Abraham’s purchase of the cave was not merely a practical act, but a profound expression of faith. He trusted that God’s promises extended beyond his lifetime—that they were secure, certain, and would ultimately be fulfilled for all who come to saving faith through Jesus. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40861280

The One About Baptist Renewal with Dr. Madison Grace 04/08/2026

Dr. Grace serves as Provost of Southwestern Seminary and as Dean of the School of Theology, alongside his many other roles in theological education and leadership. He is also the author of several books, including Baptist Renewal, which frames our conversation today. What is Baptist renewal? What does it mean to look back in order to recover and faithfully renew what it truly means to be Baptist? In this episode, we explore those questions together. Along the way, we also consider the importance of looking back to the early church fathers—examining how they interpreted the Scriptures and what the church today can faithfully glean from their witness. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40769815

Unsaid on Sunday: Genesis 22 04/07/2026

Unsaid on Sunday: Genesis 22 In the week following Easter, we’re still reflecting on the joy of celebrating our risen Savior together. This Sunday, we turned to Genesis 22, where God calls Abraham into both blessing and sacrifice. Listen as Pastor Matt helps us see the depth of Abraham’s faith and the greater story God is telling through it. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40764570

The One About Trauma and Abuse 03/25/2026

The One About Grief 03/18/2026

The One About Grief As we continue our series on biblical counseling, we turn to the topic of grief. Grief can be difficult to navigate—both in our own hearts and as we walk alongside others. Our prayer is that this episode would help equip you to move toward those who are hurting, while reminding you of the true character and nearness of our God. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40522000

The One About Eating Disorders 03/11/2026

The One About Eating Disorders Today's episode addresses the struggle of eating disorders. This series is about learning how to care well for the members of your church as they walk through difficult battles. The goal is not to make you the expert, but to offer biblical principles that help you come alongside others in their struggles with sin and suffering. You don’t have to share the same experiences to care well for someone. This conversation is meant to equip you to sit with others, listen well, show compassion, and faithfully admonish one another in Christ. We live in a fallen world and we are all people in need of grace. Join us as we explore how the Lord meets us even in these hard places, revealing the unexpected beauty of His transforming work in our lives. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40384335

The goal is to give believers a starting place—to lovingly point each other to Christ in the midst of difficulty and, when needed, guide one another toward biblical counseling. Today’s discussion focuses on addiction and enslaving sins. Join us as we consider how the gospel meets us in our deepest struggles and leads us toward true freedom in Christ. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40309510

Unsaid on Sunday: Genesis 18-19 03/03/2026

Unsaid on Sunday: Genesis 18-19 Pastor Matt walked us through Genesis 18 & 19 this Sunday, exploring the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. In the text, we see the Lord’s patience—how He allows the wicked to remain for a time so that His righteous ones might be saved. We’re also reminded that Jesus Christ, born of an impossible birth, is the righteous Judge of all the earth. In His mercy, He takes hold of our hand and leads us out of a life headed for destruction. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40297495

The One About Suicide and Self Harm 02/25/2026

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 16 02/17/2026

Unsaid On Sunday: Genesis 16 This past Sunday, Pastor Matt brought us to Genesis 16 in our ongoing study through the book of Genesis. We slowed down in this episode to consider Hagar—where she’s from and why her background matters. We also looked at the Angel of the Lord and the weighty reality that this is no mere angel, but a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ Himself. And we wrestled with what it means for Ishmael to be called the “father of many nations,” seeing how even here God is sovereignly working out His purposes according to His promises. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40142465
