God doesn't stand far away when you and I go through pain. This is important to know. He meets you in the valley of the shadow of death to reveal that death is nothing but a shadow. He's not far off. I preach a message of union, no distance, no separation between us and God. And this goes for suffering as well. He's right there. And He's not simply observing. He suffers with us. Can I tell you this? We have a God who weeps with us, suffers with us, holds us in the middle of it. Pain is not a sign of God's absence. You can find yourself aware, perhaps more than ever, of the intimacy of the presence of the Lord. Psalm 34, verse 18. David wrote this so beautifully when he said, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." You're never alone in your pain.

Freedom in Christ is not a flag we wave or a law we keep, but a love that invades and rewrites your story. It’s the wild, reckless grace that Jesus Christ won for you. You’re not just free from—you’re free to. To love, to live, to be fully, gloriously everything you were created to be, wrapped in the Father’s embrace and delight.

The Tale of the Fractured Table by Bill Vanderbush

Even in the new covenant, there's an assignment for you and me. The new covenant becomes the gateway into the greater works Jesus told us that we would do. The finished work of the cross becomes an access point to the greater works that we could have never walked in without it.

The finished work of the cross becomes the access point into a life of purity and righteousness and holiness that you could have never achieved on your own. It's purely a gift of grace. When we find ourselves falling short of that standard, well, then what? The Bible says, if we confess our sins, he's faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So the new covenant is the fulfillment of all of it. Jesus, our Savior, who made us right with God. That's the ministry of reconciliation. So here's the challenge. Live as though you're already loved by God, because you are. You're not under a contract. You're in a covenant with God who never quits, never gives up, never runs out.

Is hyper grace actually biblical?!? Believe it or not, yes. Grace is ADHD hyper. It's hyper like a room full of ferrets. It's a nursery of toddlers on their fourth cup of cool aid. It's not a theology. It's a lifestyle. And it's the heart of how the Apostle Paul described the grace of God.

You are not an afterthought. You are the consequence of God's unshakable determination to be your Redeemer.

Exploring the Power of the Word Made Flesh by Bill Vanderbush

Today we’re diving into the heartbeat of the Gospel—the blood of Jesus. This isn’t just a theological concept; it’s the very life of God poured out to rewrite your story. The blood of Jesus isn’t a relic of the past or a ritual to perform—it’s a living reality that declares who you are and what God has done in Christ. It’s the currency of heaven, the signature and the ink of the New Covenant, and the key to walking in the fullness of your identity as a beloved child of God.

Let’s talk about the “Millennial Reign”. It’s like the Bible tosses us a few cryptic verses in Revelation 20, and end time theologians just can’t help themselves—they grab that sketchy outline and turn it into a Michael Bay movie. Jesus comes swooping in like a cosmic CEO, setting up an earthly government (that looks suspiciously like the one we’ve got now), except He’s the president, and we’re all bickering over who gets to be Vice President or Chief of Staff in the Kingdom. A lot of people right now seem to be applying for the Department of Justice position. We learn that we’re gonna “rule and reign,” and the vibe is we’ll just be bossing around everybody else who didn’t make the cut. That whole setup smells like human ego dressed up in the robes of religion, not the heart of Jesus.

“Evil isn't a thing with its own power. It is a no thing, a nothing. It's a parasite. It's a distortion of the good. And in God's divine wisdom, he has given you and I the power and the authority to do something about it.

Understand, picture evil like a shadow that's cast by a bonfire, real enough to actually make you afraid, but it only exists because the light was there first. See, evil is a no thing or a negation of being, a rebellion against the glory of God woven into the cosmos. Humanity and the fallen angels using their God-given freedom to say no to love, twisting the gift of our freed will into pride and greed and destruction, that's what brings this evil about.”
