In this sermon, Justin dives into the deep theological waters of Ephesians 1:5-6 to explore the tension of divine election and the overwhelming reality of God's grace. Have you ever found yourself wanting to "pause" the Bible's song of praise to lodge a formal complaint with the Creator about fairness?. We tackle the struggle of our finite minds trying to grasp infinite truths, shifting the cultural question of "How dare God choose?" to the truly shocking biblical question: "How dare God save?".

Discover why God's plan of salvation and adoption existed before the foundation of the world, why He took "good pleasure" in redeeming us while we were still His enemies, and how Jesus, the Beloved, makes us recipients of "grace upon grace". It's time to stop arguing with the Manager, unpause the music, and sing along with the doxology of His glorious grace!.

 The bags under our eyes are officially larger than a 2000s-era grocery haul, but the show must go on. In this "Year of the Viral Illness," we’re caffeinated, congested, and ready to break down a news cycle that is somehow even more feverish than we are.

California’s Super Surcharge: We look at the "privilege" of playing the Super Bowl in the Golden State, where players are essentially paying a cover charge to the tax man that exceeds most people’s annual salary.

The Halftime Whodunit: A deep dive into a show we barely watched. Between discovering Bad Bunny exists and witnessing a Kid Rock performance that was surprisingly... theological? We’re as confused as you are.

Jersey "Justice": A loving tribute to the Garden State’s finest, featuring a Governor allergic to federal funds and a Senator who reportedly uses gold bars as interior design accents.

The Canadian Implosion: Our neighbors to the north are busy de-platforming denominations for following the Bible and flirting with laws that would make reading Scripture a "hate crime." It’s getting wild in the Great White North.

Breaking News—Water is Wet: We dissect the New York Times’ absolute shock and awe at the discovery that legalizing marijuana actually leads to... people smoking more marijuana. Riveting journalism, folks.

We have another sermon for you this week! Why settle for the "crumbs" of religious entertainment when the Master has invited us to the actual meal? In this exposition of Ephesians 1:4, we confront the weight and glory of the doctrine of Election. Before the stars existed or the foundations of the world were laid, God chose a people—not based on merit or data, but in the sufficient counsel of His own will,. This episode challenges us to stop building "finite mud kingdoms" and go to war against the distractions that compete for our worship, inviting us to find the ultimate joy of standing holy and blameless before our Father. Preached by Justin at Missio Dei Church

We are back on the wagon and shaking off the rust for another episode of Bluey in the Bible! Join hosts Justin and Jesse as we head to the park for the episode "Bike",.

Bluey discovers that riding a bike is "trifficult," leading to the classic declaration: "I quit",. But she isn't the only one struggling! We break down our Favorite Bits, including Bentley getting stuck on the monkey bars ("I'd like to get down now") and Muffin’s hilarious, "unacceptable" meltdown while trying to put on a backpack,. Plus, we discuss why Bingo decides that drinking water off the ground is a valid life choice.

In this episode’s Dollar Bucks: Why does Bandit stop Bluey from rushing in to help her friends?. We explore the deep dad-wisdom of letting children struggle to build character, connecting Bandit's patience to Romans 5 and the idea that tribulation brings about perseverance. We also look at Deuteronomy 31 to see how, much like Bandit watching from the bench, God is the one who goes with us and never forsakes us.

So, whether you are spinning in circles like Muffin or ready to try again like Bluey, tune in for some laughs and biblical encouragement. As we like to say: Catch you on the flip side, Willy!.

On this episode, we talk about ICE. Let's look at what's going on in Minnesota. Let's talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Let's talk about the responses. No reason not to. Come reason with us!
