  • Only God Can Judge Me!?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In the middle of giving people a laundry list of how to rethink their sin, Jesus pauses to make a strong statement about judgment. Why does this fit here? How do we live with this kind of perspective? Can't wait to share this with you!

  • The Commodity of the Kingdom (feat. Easton Davis)

    Send us Fan Mail

    What do I measure my spiritual walk by? Do I see success as reading a certain amount of Bible each day? Do I measure success by how much I pray, or by how many people I baptize? As we dive deeper and deeper into the Jesus story we become more convinced that the commodity that God wants to work and measure by is trust.
    Join us in this episode as we discuss the Parable of the Talents.

  • The Art of Intentional Confusion

    Send us Fan Mail

    Jesus was perfect in every way so shouldn't he be the perfect communicator? Why would he choose a medium that was purposely unclear? We're excited to share with you our thoughts and are looking forward to hearing yours in the weeks ahead.

  • The Pharisaical Mirror

    Send us Fan Mail

    I love knowing who the bad guys and the good guys are in a story. What I don't like is when I realize I'm looking a lot like the bad guys. What do we do when we are the "Pharisee"? What do we do when we see it in others? Consider this with us as we process Luke 20:45-47.

    Jesus offers many difficult teachings. One of his most difficult lessons is that we will not be married to our spouses in the life to come. In this episode, Jason and Connor seek to unpack a scripture they would rather ignore.

  • Caesar, The President, and God

    Send us Fan Mail

    When Jesus is faced with an unanswerable political question, we all hold our breath. How he answered the question in Luke 20 gives us insight into how he would answer our questions today. We're excited for you to join with us in thinking about the amazing and perplexing Jesus as he navigates the chaos of politics.

  • Grasping for Power

    Send us Fan Mail

    Throughout history, humanity has sought more and more authority. From emperor to peasant, most have desired and schemed for more power. It was much the same in Jesus' day. So how does the ultimate authority, the man with unlimited power, respond when the religious leaders of the day seek to gain control over him? Join us as we discuss how Jesus masterfully handles a life or death situation.
