After Sunday: Digging Deeper

This week on After Sunday, Skye sits down with Chris Willis to unpack “The Gluttonous Host," a sermon about consumerism, sacrifice, and the uncomfortable truth: it’s not about us. From the AI-powered convenience we live in, to the disposable way we treat people, Craig’s message challenged us to take a hard look at our spiritual priorities. Are we really sacrificing? Are we praying before we plan? And what happens when we put God's desires above our own?

This week on After Sunday, Alex and Skye sit down with longtime Central member Debbie Giffen. Together they dive into a topic that's been heating up in culture: Christian masculinity.

What does it look like to raise strong, faithful men in a world that often calls that "toxic"? What does leadership in the home really mean and why does it matter?

Debbie shares stories from raising her own boys, lessons from her parents and marriage, and a gentle reminder not to give up on kids who fall away. They might just come home.

A rich, real, and hopeful conversation about raising up the next generation with conviction and kindness.

After a powerful Mission Sunday, Zane and Emily talk about what real revival looks like around the world and why it starts with prayer, love, and simple service. From packed churches in India to the bold faith of door-knockers, this episode is a call to stop overcomplicating faith and start living it. What would happen if we actually prayed like it was the last time?

On this sunny Easter Sunday, Alex and Skye reflect on the connection between passion and purpose and how Christ’s sacrifice challenges us to move beyond comfort and into action. From the Latin roots of the word “passion” to the real-world challenge of being authentic in your faith, this episode explores the power of prayer, living boldly, and partnering with others in the mission of the church. Plus: a little KFC, a little laughter, and a whole lot of heart.

This week on After Sunday, Skye and Alex talk about what it means to be an urgent witness for Jesus. From ambassadors and plumbers to cassette tapes falling from the sky, we’re digging into what it really looks like to share your faith in everyday moments. Whether it's inviting someone to church, sharing a Bible verse, or just living out your testimony, revival starts when we decide to say something. Also: why the woman at the well still inspires us and how a magician-turned-atheist got us thinking about evangelism.

Revival doesn't begin with a program—it begins with a person. In this rainy-day episode, Skye and Alex sit down to reflect on Jonah, the prodigal son, and how real spiritual awakening begins when we finally stop running. They talk through the fear, the honesty, and the urgency required to truly change, not just for ourselves but for our communities. Whether you're in the belly of a fish or the middle of a routine, this episode challenges you to take that first step: get up and go.

We’ve all been there—heard someone say “don’t judge me” or maybe said it ourselves. But is that really what Jesus meant?

Skye and Alex dig into what judgment is, what it isn’t, and how to walk the line between grace and accountability. Plus: how self-awareness, spiritual growth, and a little patience go a long way when dealing with messy people (including ourselves).

Let’s be honest—spiritual growth sounds great until you actually try to do it without distraction. The old habits, the screen time, the busyness... it all adds up. In this episode of After Sunday, guest hosts Zane and Emily get real about the struggle of trying to grow in Christ while living in a world that pulls us in every direction.

They unpack Craig’s message on spiritual detox—covering prayer, fasting, study, and discipling—and reflect on what it means to set boundaries, lean on community, and actually give God your first and not your leftovers.

Most of us know we should read our Bibles more, but let’s be real—it’s easy to put it off. Between work, school, social media, and everything in between, Bible reading often takes a backseat. But what if we told you that just three times a week won’t cut it? In this episode of After Sunday, Alex and Skye break down some eye-opening Bible reading statistics and why so many people struggle to stay in the Word.

Your mind is under attack, and most of us don’t even realize it. From social media addiction to the comparison trap, we’re constantly bombarded with content that shapes how we think, feel, and view ourselves. In this episode of After Sunday: Digging Deeper, we’re exposing the hidden dangers of what we consume—and how to fight back.
