A winding conversation about contentment, truly experiencing God, worship music, and the process of becoming.

Stewardship isn’t about guilt—it’s about freedom. In this episode, we explore what it means to live openhanded, offering every part of our lives—time, money, gifts, even pain—to the God who owns it all.

A controversial topic, but one that lends itself to learning the process of Exegesis. I don't expect that everyone undertakes this level of analysis everytime they read. However, it's important to know how, and in particular to know what to listen for when hearing teachers speak in order to disern.

Fasting isn’t about punishment—it’s about making space. In this episode, we explore fasting as a tool for spiritual formation: a way to clear out the noise, reorder our desires, and say yes to the One who truly satisfies.

Worship isn’t just what happens on Sunday—it’s how you live your Monday. In this episode, we explore how worship becomes a daily rhythm that shapes your habits, your decisions, and your heart.

What if hearing and reading Scripture isn’t about obligation—but transformation? In this episode, we explore how opening ourselves to the Word of God is one of the most vital ways we are formed into the image of Jesus.

Have you ever walked away from something, thinking it was over—only to realize later, it was the beginning of everything? That’s what happened on a dusty road to a town called Emmaus… and the story might just change how you see Jesus, your own life, and what it means to walk in faith.

The goal of faith isn’t just believing in Jesus—it’s becoming like Him. In this kickoff to our Formed series, we explore how ancient spiritual disciplines lead us into the deep, transforming life of God. Because the alternative to discipline... is disaster.

What if faithfulness means letting go of some of the traditions we’ve always known? In this episode, we explore the call to real church renewal—not by chasing trends, but by rediscovering the ancient, Spirit-led practices that form true disciples. Pastor Sam unpacks why obedience to Jesus may require releasing familiar structures, reimagining community, and reclaiming rhythms rooted in Scripture and the early church. If you’re longing for deeper, more authentic faith, this episode is for you.

What if Jesus' return doesn't look like wrath—but like the cross? In this episode, we rethink kingship, judgment, and the second coming through the lens of Palm Sunday. The Lamb who rode the donkey is the same King who returns—and his judgment is rooted in love, not vengeance.

Spiritual growth isn’t automatic—it’s intentional. In this episode, we dive into 2 Peter 1, where the apostle reminds us that while God has already given us everything we need for life and godliness, we’re still called to make every effort. From knowledge to self-control to love, faith is formed through training, not just inspiration. Explore why discipleship demands more than good intentions—and how real maturity requires both divine grace and spiritual grit.

Thomas isn’t the cautionary tale we’ve made him out to be—he’s the disciple who dared to be honest. In this episode, we explore the powerful moment when Jesus meets Thomas in his doubt, not with shame, but with scars. What does it mean to wrestle with belief, and how does doubt open the door to deeper faith? Join us as we uncover how one man’s hesitation became the clearest confession of Christ’s divinity—and what that means for anyone struggling to believe today.

A winding conversation about infinite reality, history, and the crusades. It's kind of a weird one, but super interesting.

Jesus tells a parable about two sons who are asked by their father to work in his field. What in the world is it about and how do we apply it?

If you're feeling like you're just barely hanging on, or if you've given up on trying, this is for you.

The day after Jesus cleansed the Temple, the religious leadership had some questions for him. Today we talk about he response and how we might apply what he said then to our circumstances now.

The Genesis Narrative(s) are incredibly important. They are not, however, not what we think they are. Today, we delve into how we can better understand them.
