Passion | Pure
What are you passionate about—and does your schedule tell the same story? We dig into how a pure heart directs passion toward what matters most to God, from the way we spend our first minutes each morning to how we use our gifts in community. S...

Patterns | Pure
Ever feel like you’re hustling up the wrong side of an escalator? We unpack how small, faithful choices—opening Scripture first, praying before decisions, and practicing the Golden Rule—quietly rewire your patterns and reshape your day. Startin...

Priorities | Pure
Ready for a cleaner start to the year than another to-do list? We’re launching 21 days of prayer and fasting with a simple, human approach: honest prayer over perfect words, secret worship over public optics, and a practical plan to put first t...

Posture | Pure
Start the year with a clear heart and a clear path. We lean into the beatitude “Blessed are the pure in heart” and explore how purity reshapes families, marriages, parenting, work, and community life. This isn’t about perfection or performance;...

Finishing Strong
What if your strongest moment isn’t at the start line, but at the finish? We open with a raw story from a 1994 missions trip to Nicaragua that spiraled into dengue fever and a surprising lesson about grit. From there, we zoom out to a bigger ch...

Gift of Love | Advent 2025
The search for the “perfect gift” can be frantic and funny—we even share a Turbo Man moment—but beneath the wrapping is a longing for something that doesn’t break or get boxed up. We journey from a packed day of service to a manger where love t...

Joy to the World | Advent 2025
Joy lands differently when the holidays feel heavy. We open with a simple question—do you have joy?—and trace a path from the crowded streets of Bethlehem to the burned gates of Jerusalem to show how joy is not a mood that drifts with circumsta...

Peace On Earth | Advent 2025
What if the peace you’re chasing can’t be scheduled, bought, or forced—and is actually found in a Person who draws near? As the holidays ramp up and our to-do lists grow louder, we step into the Christmas story to recover a peace that holds ste...

Hope of the World | Advent 2025
Hope doesn’t always arrive with trumpets. Sometimes it shows up in a small town, in a hard conversation, or in the moment you decide to trust when you’d rather run. We explore how celebration, anticipation, and tradition can be beautiful on-ram...

Give Thanks
What if a simple thank you could change more than a moment—what if it could change your day, your focus, and your faith? We start with a warm, funny tour of “thank you” in different languages—gracias, merci, donobad, and the exuberant shokran a...

Watch Your Mouth | Messy
Words can set a home on fire or turn it into a refuge. We trace the surprising power of the tongue through James 1 and 3 and show how small choices—listening first, slowing anger, and curating our inputs—redirect the big ship of our lives. Alon...

38:59
Unfinished Projects | Messy
We start with a frank look at unfinished projects, both the literal clutter and the hidden emotional stacks we’ve parked for years. A childhood story about “junk” cars becomes a picture of how intentions without action turn into anchors. Then w...

38:03
Dirty Laundry | Messy
What if the most crowded parts of your week are actually the doorway to deeper peace? We step straight into the rush—kid drop-offs, work sprints, grocery runs, weekend marathons—and ask a harder, better question: where is the space for God when...

Soli Deo Gloria | The Five Solas
What you worship will shape the whole arc of your life. We open the door with the five solas—Scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, to the glory of God alone—and then linger on Soli Deo Gloria, where everyday choices become an...

Solus Christus | The Five Solas
What if the most liberating truth you could hear is also the simplest: Jesus is Lord. We revisit the five solas through a fresh lens and zoom in on Solus Christus—Christ alone—as the pulse of the gospel that still frees captives, steadies anxio...

Sola Gratia | The Five Solas
What if the most life-changing power isn’t something you earn, but something you receive? We open with a rapid tour of the Five Solas and then linger on grace alone—the unmerited favor of God that meets us in our mess and remakes us from the in...

Sola Fide | The Five Solas
A withered fig tree, a mustard seed, and a mountain stand in our path—each one becomes a lens for seeing how faith actually works in ordinary life. We open with Luther’s spark and the Five Solas, then zoom into sola fide to ask a simple, search...
•
43:49
Sola Scriptura | The Five Solas
A lightning storm, a vow, and a question that won’t quit: why do you believe it? We follow Martin Luther from fear to courage and from indulgences to conviction, then bring his protest forward to the five solas that still ground a restless age....

Nehemiah | Build
