Join Clint and Michael for a new Further Faith Bible study of Acts, beginning Wednesday, September 23, at 2 PM Central. This short trailer introduces a book that offers a sustained glimpse into the life of the early church. Together, we will follow the gospel's spread from Jerusalem into new communities and consider the challenges the first Christians faced. Their stories, decisions, and struggles offer much to reflect on as we live our faith today. Meet with us Monday through Thursday at 2 PM Central for conversation and a verse-by-verse study, and feel free to read a chapter or two of Acts before we begin.

We conclude our journey through Job by admitting that sometimes, the most faithful response to suffering is simply to say, "I don't know." We look at why Job refuses to give us the easy answers we crave and how that leads to a deeper, more resilient faith.

The dust is settling on Job’s ash heap, but the surprises aren't over. God breaks His silence to settle the score between Job and his friends, and the verdict isn't what anyone expected. Join us as we discuss the irony of the "wise" being humbled and the "questioner" being called a faithful servant.

If you can't even stand before the most powerful creatures in the world, how can you expect to call the Creator to account? Today, we explore the appearance of Behemoth and Leviathan in the book of Job and what these "chaos monsters" teach us about God’s wild sovereignty and our own human limitations.

Job demanded his day in court, but when God finally takes the stand, He doesn't offer a defense—He offers a whirlwind. In this episode, we explore the dramatic moment the "rules" of human logic are swept away by the majesty of the Creator. Join us as we look at Job 38 and discover why God’s "answer" is both the most satisfying and the most unsettling moment in the entire book.

Before God speaks from the whirlwind, Elihu takes us to the edge of the storm. He challenges the idea that we can ever be God's equals in a courtroom, pointing instead to the unsearchable majesty of the Creator. It’s a pivot that changes everything for Job—and for us.

A new character, Elihu, breaks the long silence in the book of Job, claiming a wisdom that the elders missed. Is he a bridge to God or just a confident young man full of hot air? We dive into chapters 32 and 33 to see how this shift changes the landscape of Job's suffering.
