Cornerstone Conversations

An old theologian famously said, “God has made us for Himself and our souls are restless until they find rest in Him.” Restlessness is a part of all of our lives. Thankfully, Jesus has come to give us supernatural rest, a kind of rest we will never find in this world apart from Him. On today’s podcast, we’re going to talk about the kindness of God in granting us His rest.

A recent Grammy night performance has social media ablaze once again with the religious right battling the progressive left. How can we respond to Sam Smith's "Unholy" performance in a way that is both truthful and loving? Our pastors spent a little extra time in studio today to answer that important question. 

Do you always have rock solid assurance that God is real, that the Bible is true, that Jesus rose from the dead and that you will too? You probably don’t. If we’re honest, most of us have our doubts at times… sometimes deep, plaguing doubts. Is there help for us? We’ll answer that question on today’s Cornerstone Conversation.

On today’s podcast, we’ll be addressing "toxic masculinity,” which we hear a lot about these days. It’s open season on men in our culture it seems. Are the criticisms warranted in any way? Are they unfair in any way? What does the Bible say about masculinity? What is distinct about it? What is dangerous about it? How does redemption apply? We’ll consider all these things on today’s Cornerstone Conversation.

Happy New Year, everyone! 2023 has just begun. How are you feeling about it? As you look forward, are you excited or anxious, hopeful or fearful? For most of us, it’s a mix. On today’s podcast we’re going to talk about facing a new year with faith. We’re going to talk about how God’s commitment to loving us and providing for us gives us confidence as we head into a new year.

At the time of Jesus' birth in Luke 2, the angels proclaimed, "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, goodwill to men!" How was His peace present on earth then and how can we know it now? Today, our pastors talk about God graciously sending His peace into our conflict-ridden world. 

At Christmas time, we celebrate Jesus' coming as Immanuel, which means "God with us." In today's podast, Pastor Rob and Pastor Jeff talk about the here-and-now significance of His coming thousands of years ago. 

We all know a control freak…and we all are control freaks in one way or another. On today’s episode, our pastors talk about the root of this problem and how God compassionately addresses it in our lives. 

In today’s podcast, our pastors discuss the challenging topic of gay marriage as it has re-emerged into the public discourse via the recent debate between famous podcasters, Joe Rogan and Matt Walsh. If you are open to a clarifying, truthful, biblical conversation on this topic that drips with God’s grace, please listen in. 

When we say “Jesus is life,” or “the Gospel imparts to us new life,” what do we mean? What kind of “life” has God given us and what difference does it make in our day to day experience? In today’s podcast, our pastors seek to give encouragement by answering these questions in ways all can understand and relate to.
