What role does confession of sin play in the Christian life? Do we need to confess our sins to God? What about to other Christians?

1 John 1:9

James 5:16

A recap of our first week's discussion in our new series, Jesus Christ vs. Sin, Satan, and the World.

If you're interested in checking out the full discussion from our time together, you can check out our YouTube channel.

In this special episode, Brax reviews Disney's Wish.

Christians are supposed to interact with art and culture-- not cancel it. There is certainly a lot of creativity in this movie, a lot that could have been better, but still there is a lesson for us and our relationship with God.

In this message, we examine the ways that humanity tries to measure success and the emptiness inside those systems. Instead, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, deny our success, to take up the cross and follow him. If you are living in the middle of a tough time, know that God is faithful, you are not on the wrong path-- you are on the path of Jesus.

In this episode, we tackle some tough questions about what the Bible has to say about how messed up it is that we love money so much. Yep, we talk about how living in America is a spiritually dangerous place because of how much money we have (or how much we want it). If you're interested in how to think about and how to interact with your money, this is an episode for you!

What does Jesus mean when he says, "Give to the one who asks from you"? What are principles for giving of our money and possessions from the Bible? This week, we look at Jesus' deep self-identification with the poor, his commands to give, and what the Bible says about our priorities.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of Joe's senior thesis: the relationship between faith and works in the Bible. Faith, works, demons, Judas Iscariot, the history of Israel, Jesus as the Passover Lamb– we cover it all! We hope you'll join us for this important discussion.

In this fascinating episode, we discuss the importance of pursuing God and how young men pursue the image of God largely through pursuing romantic relationships in their teenage years and their early twenties. (Please note that there is much in this episode that can and does apply to young women, but we can only speak from our limited perspectives as men on this particular issue).

This is the first of a two-part conversation with Joe, so be sure to subscribe so that you won't miss the second half of this discussion on Tuesday, April 9th.

In week 3 of our Core Commands of Christ series, we take a deep dive into what it means to love our neighbors as ourselves.

In this special episode, we interview our very own Isaac Kapsner on the topic of tabletop roleplaying games and the Christian faith. Can Christians play these kinds of games? What are the benefits of storytelling within community? What can we learn from games like dungeons and dragons? Join us for a fascinating conversation!
