Created, Called, + Commissioned

From the opening pages of Genesis to the final vision in Revelation, Scripture unfolds the story of a covenant God who has bound Himself to a people. Marriage was never just a mere social institution; it was designed from the beginning to be a living parable of Christ and His Church.

In this episode, we trace the biblical theme of the Bride of Christ:

• In Genesis, marriage is established as a covenantal union pointing beyond Adam and Eve to Christ and His people.

• In the Old Testament, God reveals Himself as Israel’s Husband, pursuing His wayward bride in steadfast love.

• In the New Testament, Christ purchases His Bride with His own blood, sanctifying her to be presented holy and blameless.

• Revelation culminates in the marriage supper of the Lamb, where the Bride is finally united to her Bridegroom in glory.

This episode explores what it means to live as those betrothed to Christ, called to faithfulness, purity, and watchfulness as we await the consummation of all things. Our salvation is not merely deliverance from sin (which it is!!!) , but a covenantal union with the One who loves us and gave Himself for us.

Kyler and Britt from Love Your First year join to share what we should look for in a potential spouse, behaviors we should avoid, and how to prepare your heart for marriage. They also share how marriage is a great sanctification tool in the hands of our loving Father! Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or married - this episode will benefit you!

Our weekly Bible study diving into Colossians 3 & 4.

This week we dived into Colossians 1 and 2 at Made4More Bible study. We were reminded of the sufficiency of Christ. Paul encourages us to remember who Jesus is and what He has done for us!

Why do we serve God? Is it to be seen, accepted, or praised? Or is it the overflow of a heart transformed by grace?

In this episode, guest speaker Shelly Collins unpacks Romans 1:8–16 to show us what true spiritual service looks like through the life of the Apostle Paul. From gratitude and humility to boldness and obedience, she outlines ten key marks that separate performance-driven service from Spirit-led worship.

Whether you’re in full-time ministry or quietly serving behind the scenes, this message will challenge you to reflect on your heart posture and remind you that real worship is found in how we serve.

We talk a lot about what we like.
What we want.
But rarely—what we treasure.

In this week’s episode, guest speaker Shelby Elder challenges us to examine what holds first place in our hearts. Is it comfort? Approval? Reputation? A relationship? Or is it Christ—and His Word?

With humility and conviction, Shelby lays the foundation for why treasuring God’s Word isn’t just a spiritual bonus—it’s the evidence of a changed heart. From cultural distractions to personal idols, she walks us through what it means to truly live a life rooted in Scripture.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in checklist Christianity or struggled to stay in the Word, this episode will challenge and encourage you.

It’s not about trying harder.
It’s about surrendering deeper.
Only one Treasure can truly satisfy.

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by guest speaker Sarah Crews for a bold and clarifying conversation on a truth that Jesus Himself declared essential: “You must be born again” (John 3:7).

It’s not enough to go to church, clean up your behavior, or believe in God in a general sense. Regeneration—the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit giving spiritual life to the spiritually dead—is absolutely necessary for salvation.

Sarah walks us through what it means to be born again, why we can’t manufacture it through effort, and how this doctrine reveals both the seriousness of our condition and the power of God’s mercy. We confront the danger of false assurance, the tragedy of cultural Christianity, and the glory of a heart made new.

This episode is a call to self-examination, to surrender, and to true hope—not in ourselves, but in the saving work of Jesus Christ.

Key Topics:

• What it really means to be "born again"

• Why moral improvement isn't the same as salvation

• The danger of assuming you're saved because you're "good"

• How the Holy Spirit regenerates dead hearts

• Why we must come to the end of ourselves to receive new life

If you’ve been relying on religion instead of relationship, or trying to earn what can only be received, this conversation will shake and strengthen you. May it lead you not to shame—but to the Savior.

Gina Arnold leads Bible study this week on the topic of "True Joy" that is found 14 times in Philippians. Rejoicing is a deliberate choice to fix one's gaze upon God's goodness, grace, and promises. She talks about how we can live a life of rejoicing.

Oh my word, Philippians 3 is sooo good. You will want to go run in the street after reading it.
