CPXL Season 2 • Episode 15: When Your Soul Feels Distant

This week on CPXL, Pastors Andy Addis and Eric Franklin are joined by Salina Location Pastor BJ Fletcher as they continue through Psalms: The Bible’s Songbook by stepping into the raw honesty of personal lament. Centered on Psalm 42—and its continuation in Psalm 43—they explore what it looks like to bring your deepest discouragement, doubt, and longing before God.

Together, they unpack the tension of feeling distant from God while still choosing to hope in Him, highlighting the repeated refrain: “Why, my soul, are you downcast?” This conversation leans into the reality that faith isn’t always steady or strong—it can be weary, emotional, and searching. Yet even in the middle of lament, there is an intentional turning toward truth. Through this discussion, they invite listeners to consider how they talk to their own soul in difficult seasons, and what it looks like to fight for hope when God feels far away.

CrossPoint is one church in many places, seeking to reach our communities with the true hope and freedom found in Christ. We do this as ordinary people who are being changed by Jesus to do extraordinary things.

This week on CPXL, Pastors Andy Addis and Eric Franklin explore the heart behind “Give us this day our daily bread” and what it reveals about contentment. Looking at 1 Timothy 6:10, they discuss how the love of money and the pursuit of more can quietly turn into idols that pull our hearts away from trusting God. Drawing connections to the story of manna in the wilderness, they reflect on how God teaches His people to depend on Him daily rather than chasing material security. Together, they unpack how gratitude, trust, and contentment protect us from entitlement and help us live faithfully with what God provides.

Designed to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries, CPXL helps you Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.

This week on CPXL, Pastors Andy Addis and Eric Franklin lean into the heart of generosity following Vision Weekend, exploring what Jesus teaches about money, security, and the condition of our hearts. Centered on Luke 12:13–21 and the warning against living foolishly, they unpack the parable of the rich fool and Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:21–22. Together, these passages reveal how easy it is to build bigger barns while neglecting eternal treasure.

We explore the subtle pull of accumulation, the danger of mistaking blessing for ownership, and how generosity becomes a safeguard against self-reliance. What does it mean to be rich toward God? How do we ensure our lives are marked not by what we store up, but by what we surrender? In the end, this conversation reminds us that generosity is not primarily about dollars—it’s about devotion. And the way we steward what we’ve been given reveals where we truly believe our security lies.

We explore how legacy is shaped not just by blessing, but by forgiveness; how choosing grace over revenge protects the future God is building; and how trusting His bigger story allows wounds to become testimonies. In the end, Joseph’s life reminds us that God’s promises are not fragile—they endure through family dysfunction, personal pain, and years of waiting, weaving redemption into every chapter.
