There could not be any better news to share with you than this: as children of Jesus, we are forgiven! Once and for all. His wounds have healed us! That is true on the days you feel it and on the days you don't.

If you've ever wondered how to become a Christian, Pastor Curtis gives us the low down on what that looks like. It's both simple and profound. We hope you enjoy this final interview with Curtis Gilbert.  Thanks for listening!

What exactly is Good Friday? Why do we call it that? If you've ever wondered this, or maybe you've been asked this question, but weren't really sure how to answer it, today's chat is going to help you out!

The day of celebration is coming, but we can't get there without first going through this sacrifice of Good Friday. We can't wait to look at this day through the lens of Easter.

Friends, we are just so excited to introduce you to Kristy Cambron!

Kristy is an author who writes both fiction and non-fiction (a rare talent, for sure). It's not often you can read award-winning fiction and engage the Biblical text in deep study with the same author.  But Kristy does both, using her aptitude for research to create engaging stories and thorough Bible studies. We love what she's doing, and we're pretty sure you'll love her too.

Give today's episode a listen, to hear more about her story as we discuss our verse of the month:

How exactly do you encourage others? And what about taking it one step further; how do you encourage others in the Lord, making disciples!?

Tracy is the girl to help us unpack these questions! During today's episode, we dig into the  context of our verse in order to get to the practical application. We take a look at Paul's example of encouraging others. We hope you'll learn about what it looks like to live life on life, inviting others into the gospel and into our own, every day lives.
