In this wrap up of the “What Is the Church?” series Jason discusses how the Church is meant to bring beauty into the world. Jesus paints a picture of His people as salt and light in Matthew 5:13–16—preserving what is good and shining hope into darkness. When we live this out, the beauty of Christ becomes visible through us.

Matthew 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

The Church provides three profound benefits: a people to belong to, a purpose to embrace, and a proclamation to carry into the world. In this message Mike Whittymore is joined by Matt Lee of the Psalm 82:3 Mission, encouraging us to renew our commitment to God, to Christ’s people, and to those who need His hope.

Psalm 82:3 "Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute."

Scripture calls the Church the Bride of Christ, pointing to a covenant relationship between Jesus and His people. That covenant carries real responsibility—are we living it out faithfully? In today’s message, Jason speaks with Matt Hunnell of JUMPSTREET Ohio to share how the Church is fulfilling that calling through prison ministry.

Revelations 19 verse 7 "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready."

We often see ourselves as either very important or insignificant, but both extremes reflect self‑dependence instead of faith in God. Jason speaks with Mike Tabor of Happy Church in Jackson, Kentucky, about the ministry happening there. Together they remind us that every member of Christ’s body matters, and we find our calling by trusting God rather than ourselves.

1 Corinthians 12, V12-14 "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many."

Jason Rehmel opens a new series titled “What Is the Church?” We often think of the Church as a building, but Scripture reminds us it’s a body of people. And these people are called to work together as the body of Christ—not only being kind and welcoming but living as salt and light and bringing God’s truth and hope into the world.

1 Corinthians 12:12-14 "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

Mike Whittymore wraps up the Reel Theology series by examining Self‑Centered Theology. Social media algorithms serve us content that reinforce our preferences, and over time those subtle nudges shape our beliefs. Without discernment, we drift into treating our feelings as truth and ultimately worshipping ourselves instead of submitting to God’s authority.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

Elder Matt Strunk walks us through Paul’s charge to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1. Paul tells Timothy to stay in Ephesus and confront false teaching, urging him to guide people toward sound doctrine rooted in the true gospel of Jesus. Matt shows how Paul’s words to Timothy speak directly into the challenges we face in our own time.

1 Timothy 1:3-4 "As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith."

They’re back—and in today’s message, Mike and Mike unpack therapeutic theology: what it is and how it can shape our thinking through social media. Is the main goal of life to be happy and feel good? Does personal happiness take priority over following Jesus? Today’s message challenges these assumptions and calls us to anchor our identity in Christ rather than cultural comfort.

Philippians 4: 6-7 "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

In today’s message, Mike Whittymore and Mike Havren tag‑team to address the rapid spread of Artificial Intelligence in our daily lives. AI may offer quick answers, but it has real limitations—and it cannot replace the wisdom God gives through Scripture, nor the irreplaceable touch of human relationships. As believers, we’re invited to use these tools with discernment and keep God’s Word as our final authority.

Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

Reels—short, rapid‑fire video clips—are everywhere in today’s social media. They tap into our instinct for instant gratification, but could they also be feeding us false information or distorted theology? This week, Jason launches a new series exploring how modern technology can quietly shape our beliefs and how we may be taking in lies without even realizing it.

1 Peter 3:15 "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect"
