Bourne & Raised

This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Jordan, Titus, and Mark continue their conversation about the importance of culture by taking a closer look at the heart of the prodigal son’s older brother.

While the father celebrates the return of his lost son, the older brother remains outside, angry and unwilling to join the celebration. His response reveals how easy it is to become focused on comparison, entitlement, and personal frustration instead of rejoicing over a life that has been restored.

Jesus tells us that there is celebration in heaven when one sinner repents. That truth inspires a phrase discussed throughout this episode: “Make heaven crowded and angels tired.” The goal is not merely to build a successful church or attract a crowd. It is to reach so many people with the gospel that heaven is constantly celebrating lives being changed.

As believers, we should never become annoyed by the celebration, resentful of grace, or more concerned with our preferences than with people coming home to God. A healthy culture celebrates salvation, restoration, repentance, and every step someone takes toward Jesus.

At the end of the episode, Rodrigo shares a powerful personal testimony about realizing that he has experienced life as both brothers. At different points in his faith journey, he has been the younger brother who needed to come home and the older brother who struggled with what was happening around him.

His story reminds us that the parable is not simply about deciding which brother is worse. It is an invitation to examine our own hearts and respond to the grace of the Father.

This is Part 2 of our conversation on the importance of culture.

This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Jordan, Titus, and Mark discuss the story of the prodigal son and the celebration that takes place when someone who was lost finally comes home.

Jesus describes a father who welcomes his son with open arms, restores him, and throws a celebration in his honor. But while the father rejoices, the older brother refuses to join the party. Instead of celebrating his brother’s life change, he focuses on resentment, comparison, and everything he believes is unfair.

As believers, we are called to celebrate when lost people encounter Jesus. Yet it is possible to become so focused on preferences, frustrations, or what we think should have happened that we miss the movement of God taking place right in front of us.

The conversation connects this truth to Genesis Metro’s Summer Soundtrack series and the song “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Despite the band’s success, conflict was growing behind the scenes. The sun was shining, but they were still looking at the rain.

That idea raises an important question for every church, family, and organization: Are we creating a culture that celebrates what God is doing, or are we always searching for the rain?

Culture is shaped by what we emphasize, what we tolerate, and what we choose to celebrate. When souls are being saved and lives are being changed, we should be the first people at the party.

This is Part 1 of our conversation on the importance of culture.

This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Titus continue reflecting on the powerful moments from Fuse Camp as they unpack one of the most inspiring stories in the Gospels: the friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus and lowered him through a roof so he could be healed.

What made these men so determined? What can we learn from their willingness to overcome every obstacle standing between their friend and Jesus?

In this episode, the conversation centers around a powerful truth: "You don't need community... until you need it." We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. God often uses faithful friends to carry us when we cannot carry ourselves, and He calls us to be those kinds of friends for others.

Tim, Carrie, and Titus also discuss the importance of refusing to give up when obstacles arise. When a soul is on the line, every roof is worth climbing, every barrier is worth overcoming, and every effort is worth making to help someone encounter Jesus.

Whether you're searching for community, walking alongside someone who needs hope, or wondering if your persistence makes a difference, this conversation is a reminder that God often works through ordinary people willing to do extraordinary things for the sake of others.

This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Titus Bourne take you behind the scenes of Fuse Camp 2026, sharing the vision, creativity, and biblical foundation that made this year's camp so impactful.

The conversation begins by exploring what sets Fuse Camp apart and why every experience is intentionally designed to help students engage with God's Word in unforgettable ways. They also share how an unexpected conversation on a podcast helped inspire this year's theme, A New Story, leading students to wrestle with one life-changing question: Do you want to be healed?

Tim, Carrie, and Titus then walk through the first two nights of camp, unpacking the stories of Lazarus and the man at the Pool of Bethesda. They discuss how these passages challenged students to believe God can bring dead things back to life, embrace healing, and step into the new story He is writing for them.

Whether you're a parent, student, church leader, or simply someone longing for a fresh start, this episode is a reminder that no story is too broken for God to redeem.

This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Jordan Bourne continue The Origin Of Genesis Metro with Part 5 of the ongoing story behind the church's beginnings, growth, and mission.

The episode begins with the phrase, "You have not, because you ask not," a saying that became a defining mindset during Genesis Metro's search for land. Tim, Carrie, and Jordan look back on the conversations, decisions, and moments of faith that ultimately led to securing the property where God would continue writing the church's story.

The conversation then turns to the significance of "This Rock Is My Witness." Looking back on the journey, they discuss the moments where God left unmistakable reminders of His faithfulness and the tangible markers that continue to point back to His promises. Those milestones became lasting testimonies that strengthened their confidence in God's direction.

Finally, they explore the idea that numbers represent souls. While growth is often measured by attendance, they share why every number tells the story of a person whose life has been impacted by the Gospel. Rather than celebrating statistics, they reflect on the eternal significance behind every individual who walks through the doors of Genesis Metro.

More than a story about acquiring land or growing a church, this episode is a reminder that God honors bold faith, remains faithful to His promises, and values every life that is changed through His work.

This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Jordan Bourne continue The Origin Of Genesis Metro with Part 4 of the ongoing story behind the church’s beginnings, growth, and mission.

The episode begins with a conversation about The Law of the Harvest and the reality that meaningful ministry rarely produces immediate results. Looking back on the early years, Tim and Carrie reflect on the seeds that were planted through faith, obedience, and perseverance long before the fruit became visible.

The conversation then turns to the early mission work of Genesis Metro Church. As the church began to establish its identity, a passion for reaching people beyond its walls became a defining characteristic. Together, they share stories from those early outreach efforts and discuss how serving others helped shape the culture and vision that still exists today.

Finally, they explore the idea of choosing Kingdom over comfort. Throughout Genesis Metro's journey, some of the most significant moments of growth required sacrifice, risk, and a willingness to trust God's plan over personal convenience.

More than a church history lesson, this conversation is a reminder that God honors faithfulness, growth takes time, and the greatest impact often comes when we choose His Kingdom over our comfort.

This week on Bourne & Raised, we continue The Origin Of Genesis Metro series with Week 3, as Tim, Carrie, and Jordan Bourne step further into the early story of Genesis Metro Church.

In this episode, the Bournes revisit the very first environments of the church, meeting in elementary schools and building community from the ground up long before a permanent space ever existed. They reflect on what those early days looked like, what made those seasons so formative, and how God was already establishing something unique in the DNA of Genesis Metro.

A key part of this conversation is what truly sets Genesis Metro apart. From culture to calling, the family unpacks the markers of identity that began forming in those earliest gatherings and how those values continue to shape the church today.

Jordan also shares personal childhood memories of growing up around the church as it was being built, offering a unique perspective on watching vision turn into reality over time. Together, they highlight the spiritual and practical markers of growth that signaled God was steadily building something lasting.

This episode is both reflective and foundational, showing how God often builds His church step by step, in ordinary spaces, through faithful people.

This is Week 3 of The Origin Of Genesis Metro, an ongoing series chronicling the story, vision, and legacy of Genesis Metro Church.
