March 02, 2022131 - The New City Catechism
Catechisms are a tradition that have been around for a very long time in church history but are not very well known in the church today. In this episode, we explore what catechisms are, why they are helpful for our Christian faith, and why our church is moving toward using the New City Catechism in our Kids ministry and City Groups.

February 09, 2022128 - Why Does God Feel Distant?
Sometimes, we feel incredibly close to God, like He's sitting next to us 24/7. And sometimes, we are left wondering if God is near to us at all... if He has ever been near to us.

If you have wondered why God feels distant at times, you're not alone. Many Christians wonder this. While we don't have concrete answers, we discuss some possible reasons why God may feel distant at times.

February 02, 2022127 - More Than a Quiet Time
"Quiet time" is a common term in Christian culture. For many, it means time alone with God and traditionally looks like reading one's Bible, praying, and journaling for 10 minutes in the morning.

If this is what you are doing—yes and amen. Those times are good, however, in this episode, we challenge you to more than a traditional quiet time. We want you to truly commune with God, which—we argue—won't be as intimate if you only think of and speak to Him for 10 minutes each morning.

Join us as we discuss what it looks like to have "more than a quiet time" in order to practically build intimacy with God and know Him.
