May 21 B&R #027 | The Origin Of Genesis Metro, Part 1
This week on Bourne & Raised, a brand new series begins: The Origin Of Genesis Metro.
In Part 1, founding pastors Tim and Carrie Bourne sit down to tell the story from the very beginning. Before the church, before the growth, and before Genesis Metro became what it is today, there was simply a calling from God and the willingness to say yes.
Tim and Carrie reflect on the early days of ministry, the moments that shaped their faith, and the steps of obedience that eventually led to the foundation of Genesis Metro Church. They share honest memories, challenges, victories, and the ways God proved faithful long before they could see the full picture.
This episode is more than the story of a church. It is the story of how God builds something through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him.
This is Part 1 of an ongoing series chronicling the journey, vision, and legacy of Genesis Metro Church.

May 14 B&R #026 | Temptation Part 4
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Titus, and Mark conclude the temptation series with Part 4, focusing on the life of King David and the sobering reality that temptation comes for everyone.
David was a man after God’s own heart. A warrior. A king. A worshiper. Yet despite his spiritual maturity and leadership, he still fell into temptation in a moment that changed lives forever.
In this finale, the team unpacks what David’s story teaches us about pride, vulnerability, isolation, and the danger of believing we are beyond temptation. The higher we rise spiritually, the more important it becomes to stay humble, aware, and dependent on God.
This episode ties the entire series together with one central truth: No amount of spiritual growth removes the need for vigilance. Temptation comes for us all.

May 02 B&R #025 | Temptation Part 3
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Mark, and Titus continue the series on temptation with Part 3, turning to one of the most sobering examples in Scripture: King Solomon.
Known as the wisest and wealthiest king in the Bible, Solomon had everything. Yet despite his wisdom, his heart was gradually turned away from God through compromise, specifically through relationships that pulled him in the wrong direction.
In this episode, the team unpacks how temptation does not always come through weakness alone. Sometimes it comes through success, comfort, and slow drift. Solomon’s story becomes a warning that no one is immune, and that what we allow into our lives can shape what we ultimately become.
They also discuss how to recognize these patterns early and what it looks like to guard your heart, stay grounded in truth, and defend against temptation before it takes root.

April 23 B&R #024 | Temptation Part 2
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Mark, and Titus continue the conversation in Part 2 of the temptation series, diving deeper into one of the most overlooked realities of spiritual life.
What you allow in your private proximity often becomes your greatest point of temptation.
In this episode, they unpack how the things we keep close, whether habits, influences, environments, or thoughts, can quietly shape our desires and decisions. Temptation rarely begins in a moment. It often begins in what we tolerate over time.
This conversation is both challenging and practical, helping listeners recognize the importance of boundaries, awareness, and intentional living when it comes to resisting temptation.
This is Part 2 of the series. The discussion will continue as they explore how to not only recognize temptation, but overcome it.

April 18 B&R #023 | Temptation Part 1
This week on Bourne & Raised, pastors Tim, Titus, and Mark kick off a brand new mini-series on one of the most universal struggles in the Christian life: temptation.
The episode begins with a reaction to a clip discussing temptation, which sparks a deeper conversation about how we actually get pulled into it. From subtle compromises to patterns of thinking, they unpack the real pathways that lead people away from what God has called them to.
But this is not just about identifying the problem. It is about finding a way forward. The conversation begins to lay the foundation for how we resist, escape, and overcome temptation through truth, awareness, and dependence on God.
This is Part 1 of the series. In the coming episodes, they will continue breaking down practical and biblical ways to deal with temptation in everyday life.

April 02 B&R #021 | Don’t Settle For Insignificant
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim and Titus take a deeper look at the story of Lot, uncovering a powerful detail that is often overlooked: Zoar.
As God was leading Lot away from destruction and toward safety in the mountains, Lot instead asked to settle in Zoar, a place that seemed small, manageable, and “good enough.”
Tim and Titus unpack the hidden significance of that decision and what it reveals about human nature. Why do we resist where God is trying to lead us? Why do we settle for what feels easier instead of trusting what is better?
This conversation explores how God is often calling us out of destruction and into something greater, yet we can be tempted to choose what feels safe, familiar, or insignificant. The story of Lot becomes a mirror, showing how easy it is to trade God’s best for something less.
If you have ever felt the pull to settle instead of step forward in faith, this episode will challenge you to trust God’s direction and aim higher.

March 27 B&R #020 | Don't Get Caught Up
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, Jordan, and Titus continue the Surrounded conversation by unpacking a powerful warning from Hebrews 12:1 — the sin that so easily entangles us.
What does it really mean to get “caught up”? Through the stories of Esau and Samson, the Bournes explore how small compromises can lead to bigger consequences, and how easily distraction, desire, and disobedience can pull us away from what God has called us to.
This episode is both a warning and an invitation. A warning about the dangers of drifting, and an invitation to live with awareness, discipline, and purpose.
The conversation closes with a powerful distinction: regret vs. repentance. Regret leads to grief and staying stuck. Repentance leads to God, freedom, and restoration.
If you have ever felt pulled off track or caught in something you did not intend, this episode will challenge and encourage you to refocus and move forward.

March 19 Mile Markers Of A Relationship With Christ | Episode 019
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Titus kick off a new series of conversations inspired by Genesis Metro’s sermon series, “Surrounded,” based on Hebrews 12:1–3.
Looking at the “cloud of witnesses” mentioned in Scripture, they focus on the powerful story of Rahab. A woman whose single decision to trust God changed the trajectory of her life forever. Her story is a reminder that following God often requires risk, courage, and a willingness to step away from what is familiar.
The Bournes unpack how choosing obedience can lead to a change in your environment, your relationships, and ultimately who you are surrounded by. Sometimes the hardest part of faith is not knowing what comes next, but trusting God enough to take the step anyway.
At the center of this conversation is a simple but powerful truth: you are one decision away from God changing your life for the better.

March 12 What The Bible ACTUALLY Says About Leading Your Household | Episode 018
This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim and Carrie Bourne dive into the biblical design for marriage and leadership within the home. What does it really mean for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, and for wives to respect and support their husbands?
Tim and Carrie walk through what Scripture teaches about Godly leadership, mutual care, and the responsibility each spouse carries in building a healthy marriage. They share practical insights from their own life and ministry, unpacking how these biblical principles are meant to strengthen relationships rather than create tension.
This conversation is an honest and encouraging look at how God’s design for marriage works when both husband and wife seek to honor Him first.
