In this episode, Brenton sits down with Chris Carr to continue the All In conversation and explore the topic of spiritual gifts. Chris shares updates on recent campus projects while reminding us that the campaign is more about transformation than facilities. The two discuss how every believer is gifted by the Spirit, not necessarily with new abilities, but with Spirit-empowered natural talents meant to build up the church. They also wrestle with questions around spiritual gift tests, miraculous gifts like tongues and healing, and the importance of using gifts faithfully rather than ranking them. The conversation closes with practical insight on how Harmony can help people step into their gifting and why the church suffers when members don’t use what God has given them.

This week on Further, Brenton Grimm sits down with Clay Baker and Matt Mitchell to unpack John 12 and its themes of light, mercy, and judgment. Clay focused on the oneness of the Trinity, while Matt highlighted four reasons Jesus came—so that we might see the Father, walk in the light, experience mercy, and gain life. Together they addressed the tension in Jesus’ words, “I did not come to judge,” showing how mercy now points to a future judgment and our present call to confront sin with gentleness. The conversation also dug into early church debates over Arianism, why the Trinity remains essential today, and the implications of heresies like Mormonism or Oneness theology. Finally, the group considered how light versus darkness shapes evangelism, how fear of man keeps many silent, and how remembering Jesus’ full divinity fuels boldness in the Christian life.

This week on Further, Brenton Grimm is joined by regular guest Nathan Williams along with first-time guest Coleman Reed and Kyle Knoll, who recently preached at Harmony Bible Church’s Fort Madison and Burlington campuses. The group dives into John 12, exploring themes like the hardness of heart, God’s glory, and the meaning of Jesus drawing “all people” to Himself. They discuss the tension between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility, using examples from Isaiah, Pharaoh, and personal ministry experiences to show how unbelief and rejection of Christ play out. Practical takeaways include how believers can guard against living for their own glory, respond when others resist the gospel, and keep the cross central in daily life. The conversation wraps with encouragement to persevere in faith and evangelism, trusting God to soften hearts in His timing.

This week on Further, Brenton and Chris dive into the Old Testament’s role in pointing to Jesus, discussing how its prophecies—roughly 60 major ones—connect directly to His life and ministry. Chris addresses common objections from skeptics, showing why Jesus couldn’t have merely staged His fulfillment of prophecy. They also push back on modern tendencies to “unhitch” from the Old Testament, stressing how it’s foundational for understanding the gospel, the cross, and God’s plan for redemption. The conversation then shifts to how Christians today can confuse cultural and spiritual identity, with a reminder to keep kingdom priorities first. They wrap up by warning against growing numb to the gospel and explaining why some verses in John were skipped in this week’s teaching.

In this episode, Brenton and Chris discuss John 12 and the tension between worshiping Jesus for who He is versus what He can give us. They examine Judas’s self-serving motives and contrast them with Mary’s extravagant act of worship, raising the question: is Jesus our end or merely a means to one? The conversation also explores how a God-centered theology helps us endure persecution and avoid a transactional faith. Chris reflects on the danger of serving to be loved rather than out of the security of already being loved. Together, they consider what it means to offer worship that truly reflects the worth of Christ.

In this episode of Further, Brenton sits down with Clay to talk through his recent sermon on anger from John 11. Clay shares how his own personal struggles with anger helped shape his message and how Jesus’ response to grief and brokenness reveals a purposeful, righteous anger. They discuss the difference between stuffing or venting anger and what it means to bring our emotions to Jesus with honesty and self-control. The conversation also highlights how pride, shame, and isolation can fuel our anger—but how the gospel offers a better way. Through passages like Ephesians 4 and Romans 8:1, they point listeners to the hope and freedom found in Christ.
