The race isn’t over... just changing lanes. Elissa and Alex close out the Revival of Faith series with reflections on endurance, community, and keeping your eyes on Jesus. It’s also a goodbye-for-now to Alex, whose time behind the mic has left a lasting mark on this podcast and everyone who’s listened along the way.

When Jesus invited Thomas to touch his wounds, he wasn’t rebuking him, he was restoring him. Preston and Jacob explore what it means for us when faith feels fragile, and how Christ still meets doubters with open hands and honest grace.

Peter took his eyes off Jesus and sank—but Jesus never left. Alex and Chris talk about faith that wavers, fear that lingers, and why trust isn’t about how strong you are but Who you’re looking at when the waves rise.

Real faith doesn’t come easy...it’s forged in the fire. Elissa and Alex close the loop on reason, emotion, and trust, reminding us that God builds something strong through the struggle.

We wrap up our month on Revival of Worship by asking the hard question: has worship become about what we feel instead of who God is? Goosebumps and guitar solos, we talk about the difference between entertainment and true worship.

If Paul walked into your church this Sunday, what would he say? Elissa and Brandon dive into that question as they compare the worship of the first century church with what we do now.

Old Testament rituals are gone. New Testament worship is simple, spiritual, and accessible for all. Emily joins Elissa to unpack what that means for us today.

Old Testament worship was heavy, detailed, and costly. Why was it that way, and how is Jesus the freedom and fulfillment of it all?

If the law said loving your neighbor was a crime, would there be enough evidence to lock you up? That question flipped the room and sparked this week’s talk.

We talk about Bonhoeffer, slippery slopes, and why grace without truth isn’t grace at all. Jacob shares what he’s seen on campus and how both generations can do better.
