In this episode of Dear Church, Ryan Goodwin joins Chris for a conversation about something that sounds simple but may be one of the most important principles of Christian character: being nice.

Ryan is the preacher at Glen Springs Church in Gainesville, Florida. Together, they discuss why kindness, friendliness, and treating people well should be foundational qualities of a disciple of Jesus.

Being nice isn't just about being polite. For Christians, it can be one of the first tools we use to open doors for evangelism. Before people listen to what we believe, they often notice how we treat them.

What if reaching people with the Gospel starts with something as simple as showing them genuine kindness?

This conversation challenges Christians to think about how our character, attitude, and everyday interactions can point people toward Jesus.

In this episode of Dear Church, Chris sits down with Billy McGuiggan, Preaching Minister at Three Chopt Church of Christ in Richmond, Virginia, for a conversation about Jesus, Scripture, and the power of story.

What if we changed the way we read the Bible by seeing the entire story of Scripture as leading us toward Jesus?

Billy and Chris discuss how understanding the larger story of Scripture can help us see Jesus more clearly and better understand who He is.

Rather than treating the Bible as simply a collection of individual stories, teachings, and commands, we can recognize how those pieces fit together into one unfolding story that ultimately points us to Christ.

The conversation also explores the power of story and why stories have such a profound ability to shape the way we understand truth, God, and ourselves.

Who is Jesus? And what happens when we begin reading Scripture with that question at the center?

In this episode of Dear Church, Boo Scott joins us for a conversation about worship, generosity, and what God really wants from us.

Boo Scott is the Lead Minister at National Park Church of Christ in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Together, they discuss why generosity isn't ultimately about what we give or how much we give, but about the heart behind it.

Everything we have is a blessing from God. Generosity calls us to humble ourselves, recognize where our blessings come from, and remember that what we have was never truly ours to begin with.

This conversation challenges us to look beyond the amount we give and ask a deeper question: What does our giving reveal about our heart toward God?

True worship isn't simply about what happens in a church building. It's about surrender, gratitude, humility, and recognizing God as the source of every blessing.

In this episode of Dear Church, Chris sits down with Trey Morgan, Lead Minister at Sunset Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas, to talk about the direction of the church and what it means to get back to what matters most.

Trey is a minister, author, speaker, and marriage coach who has spent years encouraging Christians to live out their faith in practical ways. In this conversation, Chris and Trey discuss the need for the church to become more outward focused, putting evangelism and the Gospel at the center of what we do.

Sometimes we can become so focused on defending truth, debating doctrine, and looking inward that we lose sight of the people who desperately need to hear about Jesus. The church is called to be a people who take the Gospel to the lost, love people, and point them to Christ.

What if getting the church moving in the right direction starts with getting our focus back on Jesus and the mission He gave us?

This is a conversation about the church, evangelism, doctrine, and the need to remember why we are here.
