A conversation on...

Some things feel fine simply because we’re used to them. But what happens when the habits, assumptions, and conversations we let slide start to catch up with us?

Greg, Rachel, Rich, and Scott talk about cultural assumptions, habits that catch up with us, and avoiding hard conversations to keep the peace. A conversation on 1 Corinthians 10 and keeping Christ central.

What’s one thing you want to stop letting slide?

Life moves fast. What helps us slow down and be present with God and the people around us?

The Corner Church team reflects on our “Since We Are Together” retreat theme: worship, confession and forgiveness, communion, and the shared work of building community. We talk about experiencing a moment instead of managing every part of it, reaching out instead of waiting to be noticed, and a memorable camp banana contest.

You don’t have to be at a retreat to make room for these conversations. What is one way you could be more present this week?

What deserves our focus? In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul describes athletes training for a crown that will not last. We wrestle with the desire to look impressive, the difference between intention and focus, and what it means to run toward a life shaped by Jesus.

This is the conversation behind our Week 10 message—from celery crowns and ultramarathon sweatshirts to habits, recognition, and faith as a trajectory rather than a pass-fail test. Listen in and keep the conversation going.

What happens when being right matters more than caring for the person next to us? In 1 Corinthians 8:1–13, Paul connects knowledge, freedom, and love—and asks us to consider how our choices affect others.

In this episode, we share the conversations behind the message: food offered to idols, the pull to defend our rights, and what it means to let love shape how we use our freedom. Join the Corner Church conversation.

What if following Jesus begins right where you are? In the conversation behind our Week 8 message, we explore 1 Corinthians 7 and the invitation to keep Christ central in our relationships, responsibilities, and uncomfortable circumstances.

From the restored man in Mark 5 to everyday moments of opening our homes, showing up, and caring for neighbors, we wrestle with faithfulness, comfort, and the pressure to look impressive. What should change—and how can we faithfully follow Christ in the life we already have? Join the Corner Church conversation.

What happens when we hold too tightly to our rights and desires? In Week 7 through 1 Corinthians, the Corner Church team explores 1 Corinthians 6, Acts 16, personal freedom, healthy boundaries, and the peace that comes from keeping Christ central.

How do we face serious wrong without giving up on people? Starting in 1 Corinthians 5, we wrestle with grace, accountability, healthy boundaries, and the slow work of restored relationships. The conversation asks what it looks like to keep Christ at the center while becoming a community where truth can be spoken, harm is taken seriously, and change remains possible.

Who comes to mind when you think of a good neighbor? After Corner Church's United Service, we share stories of the neighbors who shaped us and ask what it means to be placed well among the people already around us. We talk about Ephesians 2:10, the small and often unseen ways Jesus noticed people, and how simple connections can become belonging. Notice someone near you, and take one small step toward them this week.

What if visible success is the wrong scoreboard for faithfulness?

In this conversation around 1 Corinthians 4, we wrestle with the difference between knowing the right things and actually being transformed, Paul’s sarcasm toward a church convinced it had arrived, and the temptation to treat blessing, recognition, or comfort as proof that we are close to God. Jesus and Paul point us toward another measure: faithfulness with what we have received, humility when somebody else is celebrated, and the fruit of kindness, love, and patience in ordinary life.

What might change if we stopped asking, “Am I impressive?” and started asking, “Am I faithfully following Jesus?”

What if spiritual maturity is less about how much we know—and more about what is growing between us?

In this episode, we share the conversations behind “Built to Last” in 1 Corinthians 3. We talk about Corinth as a crossroads, the dark side of excellence, Jesus washing the feet of disciples still arguing about greatness, and the difference between the instrument and the source.

Paul planted. Apollos watered. God made it grow.

Where do you need the Spirit to guide growth in you and your relationships?
