John 6v47-58 with Christian Dawson

Gluttony is not simply about excess. This teaching invites us to consider how our habits with food and drink shape our desires and form our lives as Disciples. As we examine everyday patterns of consumption, we are invited into a different way of eating and drinking that leads to gratitude, self-control, and deeper trust in God.

1 Corinthians 6v19-20 with Tyler Staton and Bethany Allen

Vanity often goes unnamed, but this teaching reveals it as a quiet, shame-driven attempt to secure identity and control through the body. Rather than managing appearance for worth or safety, we are invited into a gentler way of life - receiving our bodies as good, limited, and deeply loved. This teaching offers an honest look at how vanity forms us and points toward freedom through presence, community, and trust in God’s care.

Through the rise, fall, and restoration of King Nebuchadnezzar, humility is revealed as acknowledging God as the true source of power and life. The story shows how pride unravels us from the inside out, and how recognizing God’s rule restores what was lost.

Jonah 4v1-9 with Christine Caine

Anger has become normalized in our world, quietly fracturing our relationships, health, and life with God. Through the story of Jonah, we’re invited to notice how unresolved anger grows, distorts our priorities, and blinds us to God’s compassion. By sitting with God’s question, Is it right for you to be angry? we’re pointed toward a better way where anger is faced honestly, healed at the root, and no longer allowed to rule us.
