Wait… Who Were the Nephilim? | CPXL S2 Bonus Episode

CPXL, or CrossPoint Extra Large, is your midweek companion to the weekend message from CrossPoint. Each episode takes a deeper dive into the Sunday sermon—exploring the text further, unpacking broader themes, and offering practical ways to live out God’s Word. 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 step into one of the most mysterious and often misunderstood passages in the Bible—Genesis 6:1–4 and the Nephilim. Exploring the connection to the Anakites and other references throughout Scripture, they unpack what we can confidently know, what remains unclear, and why this topic has sparked so much curiosity. Rather than getting lost in speculation, this conversation focuses on how to approach difficult or confusing passages with wisdom, humility, and trust in God. Together, they invite listeners to wrestle with the tension of mystery in Scripture while staying grounded in what God has clearly revealed.

This week on CPXL, Pastors Andy Addis and Eric Franklin continue through Psalms: The Bible’s Songbook by stepping into the weight of corporate lament. Centered on Psalm 74, they explore what it looks like to cry out to God when it feels like He’s distant, silent, or not responding at all.

Together, they wrestle with the tension of praying honest prayers that seem to go unanswered, and what it means to remain faithful in seasons where God feels absent. This conversation leans into the reality that lament isn’t just personal—it’s something the people of God experience together. Yet even in the silence, there is a choice to remember who God is and hold onto hope. Through this discussion, they invite listeners to consider how they respond when God feels quiet—and how faith can endure, even when answers don’t come.

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.

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 10 | Can You be too Generous?

Together, they unpack how generosity fuels the work of God and how living open-handed can shape our faith, priorities, and participation in God’s mission.
