  • 16. Spiritually Disciplined
    If we're honest (which is a good idea), there is a great deal of weak Christianity and a great many weak Christians in America and much of the Western world. Why? What’s the problem? Why are we so distracted by the world and caught up in non-beneficial or downright sinful pursuits? Why has the Western world developed such a strong Post-Christian culture in response to modern Christianity?
    We believe it is not simply the great allure of pleasures and the things of the world, but the distasteful, weak, and even corrupt representations of the way of Jesus that we have given the culture. If we are going to provide the authentic and winsome alternative to modern culture that will truly set people free, then we must pursue the most genuine and authentic manifestation of the way of Jesus. We are convinced that we fail to do so because we are severely lacking in the practice of spiritual disciplines.

  • 15. Do You HATE God?

    OK, so what's up with that title? I don't mean that you might hate God in the way we normally use that word. You may not harbor harsh feelings toward, detest, or be really angry at God (although that's totally possible too). But if you're completely honest, do you love other people and things more than Him? Is there a chance that Jesus really isn't the greatest love and affection in your life? Listen in as Chuck explores Jesus's own statement about hating our families, possessions, and very lives as the cost of real discipleship. Real faith comes at a real cost. Have you considered it yet?

  • 14. Beauty in the Broken (w/ Robby Massey)

     What if all you held dear was ripped away in a single moment? Could you truly still say you were blessed?


    In today's episode, we address that very question with special guest Robby Massey. Robby truly embodies the perspective that if you have Jesus, you are blessed no matter what. Robby suffered a spinal cord injury when he fell from a tree stand while hunting. He no longer has use of his legs, but that doesn't stop him from doing what he loves, being a devoted husband and father, and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.


    If you're feeling like life is beating you down, then this might just be the encouragement and change in perspective you're looking for. Listen in to one of our favorite episodes to date!

  • 13. Identity Crisis

    We as a culture and many as individuals are suffering from an identity crisis. So much of today's society in Western culture promises a greater sense of purpose, a greater authenticity with your "inner self" if you simply buy in to their ideas and pursue the "real" you. Be the master of your own fate, captain of your own ship, and subordinate of no one. You'll be happy if you'll just "do you." And yet, anxiety, depression, suicide, and substance abuse are higher than ever.


    With all the theories and ideas surrounding who we are today, it seems like we're more unsure than ever before. Perhaps rather than being liberated by modern thought to be our true selves, we're being robbed of our true identities. Perhaps the sweet sounding ideologies of identity theories are actually bitter poisons?


    Whether you agree or disagree, you're sure to be intrigued by this one.

  • 12. The Church Kids Have Left the Building (w/Pastor Grant Hasty)
    We truly didn't know what to title this one! In this episode, we dive into a wide conversation with good friend and pastor, Grant Hasty, about the challenges and strategies of ministering to younger generations that have deep hurts, mistrust, and different ideas/experiences of what family is.    
    Grant and his family planted a church - beginning in his living room -  in Pine Knot, Kentucky over a decade ago to reach the unchurched and lost people of the community. He brings that experience and wisdom of operating on trust in God to this conversation. We even recorded at his  church, Crossroads Community Baptist Church - "the intersection of faith  and life." And we went all over the place with it. So strap in, and prepare to be challenged!

  • 11. Real People with Real Problems Who Find a Real God (w/ Randy Byrge)

    Addiction . . . . While that word doesn't necessarily carry the same stigma and taboo that it once did, it's still a very real reality that cripples millions in chains. But there is hope. . . . and His name is Jesus.

    In today's episode, Caleb and Chuck were joined by someone who's walked that road of longterm recovery. Randy Byrge grew up in a good family with good Christian principles. And yet he became trapped in drug addiction for 12 years. But God was rich in mercy toward Randy - even while he was running as far away as fast as he could. Listen closely and maybe have a tissue ready, just in case. You're sure to be touched by another example of how everybody has a problem no one can fix. . . BUT GOD.

  • 10. Hitting the Mark - Part 2 (w/ Pastor Kevin Terry)
    In Hitting the Mark - Part 1 (S2 E4), we spoke with Pastor James Roberts about how Paul calls us back to the gospel in Romans 1-8. We explored some of the impacts the gospel should have on followers of Jesus as individuals. In today's episode, we're joined by Pastor Kevin Terry from First Baptist Church of Huntsville, TN to discuss some gospel implications for believers in community with each other.
    When it comes to working together and finding unity, the gospel forces believers and the congregations they form to ask the question, "What does love require of me?" As you'll hear, sometimes that means giving up some of our preferences and setting aside disputes about what Paul calls "doubtful issues." This is where real faith meets real CHURCH life.

  • 09. Finding Real, Life-Changing Faith (w/ Ryan Hoffman)
    In this episode, special guest Ryan Hoffman joins the conversation with Caleb as Chuck goes behind the scenes to test out some new camera/audio equipment.
    Ryan shares his story - a story common to many who have grown up in rural parts of the "Bible Belt", USA. You're sure to be moved as he recounts his road to faith in Jesus with its twists and turns, including years of "playing the part" and going through the motions. 
    Listen in with "ears to hear" as Ryan and Caleb dive into finding salvation through real, life-changing faith.

  • 08. Hitting The Mark - Part 1 (w/ Pastor James Roberts)
    Paul has written many letters that are recording in the Bible. However, the Book of Romans could potentially be some of Pauls Greatest (In my opinion). Paul start Romans by telling us the good news of Christ! He continues by telling the people of their sin, that Jesus came and died and rose as payment for their sins, then explaining that they are saved by faith in Jesus, and then concludes by giving us some great examples of how to live out that faith in our lives. You could say that The Book Of Romans is an instruction manual for life, but that's not the best part. The best part is how Paul incorporates this into everyones life by using the gospel. Paul had his sights set on Jesus and by utilizing the Gospel he made sure to hit his mark. The only leaves one question for you... Are You Hitting the Mark?

  • 07. Real Faith CHANGES Real Life
    Lets dive into the book of James! James was the half brother of Jesus. You would think that the brother of Jesus would have the most out of anyone to say about Jesus himself, Right? Interestingly enough, James only leaves us with 5 short chapters.  The book of James was directed primarily toward believers and although small, the book packs a punch. James simplifies Christianity for us, he takes out the religious cluster and gives us something tangible, reliable, and easy to follow. The truth is, a Faith that is REAL, is a faith that has no choice but to change us!
