Living Outloud: Do we really want to be an Acts 2 church?
We wrestle with Acts 2:42-47 as a vivid snapshot of the early church, then ask what it means without turning it into a modern church template. We land on a sharper challenge: stop comparing institutions and start letting this passage expose our...
Acts 3-4: Why God May Be Waiting to Heal
We read Acts 3–4 and watch Jesus’ power change a lame man’s life, then ignite a public moment that forces everyone to decide what they think about the risen Christ. We also sit with the harder question of God’s timing and why healing and rescue...
Acts 1-2: Power to Do What You're Made to Do
We start Acts as the direct continuation of Luke and follow Jesus’ promise that power is coming through the Holy Spirit. We watch the church move from fearful waiting in Jerusalem to bold witness at Pentecost, then ask what that same Spirit emp...
Luke 24: Feeling Hopeless and Confused
We wrap up Luke by reading chapter 24 and watching the resurrection unfold through confusion, Scripture, and surprising joy. We sit with the Emmaus road story and ask what it looks like for God’s Word to move us from hopelessness to clarity and...
Luke 23: How close are you willing to get to Jesus?
We read Luke 23 straight through, sitting with Jesus’ trial, crucifixion, and burial instead of saving it for one week a year. We also look at the “side characters” Luke includes and ask what their words and choices reveal about what they reall...
Living Outloud: What is humility, really?
We read Luke 18 and let Jesus challenge the way we pray, the way we compare ourselves, and the way we try to prove our worth to God. We work toward a picture of real humility that asks for mercy and then approaches God like a child who trusts a...
Luke 22: When You Fail
We read Luke 22 as the story narrows to the Last Supper, Gethsemane, betrayal, and Peter’s denial, and we let the weight of Jesus’ love land outside the Easter season. We sit with the reality of spiritual warfare and find comfort in Jesus prayi...
Luke 20-21: When the World is Scary
We read Luke 20 to 21 and watch Jesus stay steady while leaders try to trap him with questions about authority, politics, and doctrine. We end by talking about fear, persecution, and why Jesus’ words make today’s chaos less mysterious and less ...
Luke 19: Being Responsible with what Jesus Gave You
We read Luke 19 and watch Jesus move from joyful welcome to piercing grief to righteous anger, all while revealing what God’s kingdom is really like. We also slow down on the parable of the ten minas and ask what faithfulness looks like while w...
Luke 17-18: After Your Prayer is Answered
We read Luke 17 and 18 and let Jesus challenge our instincts about forgiveness, prayer, humility, money, and what real faith looks like. We end by sitting with the one healed leper who returns to thank Jesus and asking what it looks like for us...
Living Outloud: Faithfulness in Different Situations
We walk through Luke 12 and name what faithfulness looks like when following Jesus gets hard, awkward, or costly. We connect integrity, fear, money, anxiety, readiness, and relationships into a whole-life picture of discipleship that doesn’t le...
Luke 15-16: What Repentance Does
We read Luke 15 and 16 and listen to Jesus teach with grounded, blue-collar parables that make God’s heart feel close and concrete. We end by wrestling with how the realities of heaven and hell change our urgency to pray, speak up, and welcome ...
Luke 13-14: Reasons to Not Go to Heaven
We read Luke 13–14 and sit with Jesus’ warnings and invitations, from repentance and mercy to the parables of the narrow door and the great banquet. We wrestle with why “few” make it in, and we name the real barriers as timing, distractions, an...
Luke 12: What Does Being Faithful Looks Like?
Luke 12 presses one question into our everyday choices: what does faithfulness to God look like right now. We follow Jesus through hypocrisy, fear, greed, worry, generosity, and readiness, then sum it up as undivided allegiance, kingdom-shaped ...
Luke 11: How (and where) to Pray
We read Luke 11 and sit with Jesus’ model of prayer, his call to persistent faith, and his warning against a spirituality that looks clean on the outside but stays dark within. We also challenge ourselves to choose a “certain place” to meet wit...

Luke 10: How to do Jesus' Work Jesus' Way
We read Luke 10 and track one thread through three scenes: Jesus sends out the seventy two, defines true neighbor love through the Good Samaritan, and corrects Martha’s distracted service. We end by asking what we celebrate, who we overlook, an...
Luke 9: What it Means to Follow Jesus
We read Luke 9 and let Jesus confront how we approach Scripture, how we define “enough,” and what it really means to follow him. I connect the miracles and hard teachings to daily surrender, where God replaces my need for control and comfort wi...
Luke 8: When You Feel Hopeless
We work through Luke 8 and watch Jesus thin the crowd while revealing what real listening and real faith look like. We connect parables, storms, healings, and deliverance around one simple invitation: lean in to Jesus with whatever shred of fai...
Luke 7: Appreciating Who Jesus Is
We read Luke 7 and watch Jesus meet outsiders, mourners, doubters, and critics with authority and compassion. We end by wrestling with how repentance and gratitude shape love, and why awareness of sin can lead to deeper joy in forgiveness. ...
Living Outloud: When Satan Quotes the Bible
We talk through Jesus’ temptation in Luke 4 and why it still matters when we feel either complacent or constantly under attack. We focus on the moment Satan quotes Psalm 91 and show how context keeps a true verse from becoming a dangerous lie.&...
Luke 5-6: After You Hear from Jesus
We read Luke 5 and 6 and watch Jesus call unlikely people, heal with compassion, and confront religious resistance with calm authority. We also slow down to hear Luke’s version of the Sermon on the Mount and wrestle with Jesus’ warning that the...
Luke 3-4: When You're Being Tempted
We read Luke 3 and 4 and watch Jesus step into public ministry through baptism, genealogy, and a face-to-face fight with temptation. I connect Luke’s focus on Jesus’ humanity to everyday pressure around provision, power, and the way Scripture c...
Luke 2: Figuring Out What God's Doing
We read Luke 2 and sit with the shocking humility of Jesus choosing to enter the world as a helpless baby. We also borrow Mary’s posture of treasuring what we do not fully understand and learn a simple way to track God’s fingerprints over time....
Luke 1: When God Finally Speaks
I reset our Bible reading rhythm by explaining why the Bible’s printed order can derail good intentions and why reading again is often the best next step. Then I start our New Testament season in Luke 1 and connect John the Baptist’s arrival to...
