Go With God

How do you find freedom from offense when you've been truly and deeply wronged? Following up on Part 1, this episode offers a path to healing by focusing on surrender and forgiveness. We dive into the difficult, but necessary, connection between dealing with offense and submitting to authority (Romans 13 & 1 Peter 2:19-25).

The key to enduring lies in following Christ's example: when we offended Him, He didn’t pay us back. Learn practical steps for releasing resentment, laying down your right to be right, and taking your hurt to the Rock (Isaiah 8:11-15).

Have you ever felt stalled in your faith because you’re holding onto a deep hurt? This is the topic I've been avoiding for a while: offense. The reality is that we are an offended people. We talk about why we hold onto the past, and explore the reasons why we want to avenge ourselves.

Learn how resentment and bitterness become the enemy's most effective tool—a stumbling block and a trap for Jesus followers. Drawing from a personal journal entry and scriptures like Ephesians 4:26-27 and Romans 12:17-19, we see how holding onto anger creates a door for the devil to enter, ultimately hindering your walk with God. This episode challenges the notion that being wronged gives you the right to take revenge and shows you the high cost of the offense trap.

Stop holding onto offense because it’s holding you back.

Are we making idols out of our pastors? This episode dives into the intense cultural chaos surrounding church leadership. We talk about both the tendency to put leaders on pedestals and the widespread "witch-hunting" happening online. Using foundational truths from the book of Hebrews, we prove that Jesus is the better pastor, superior to every human system and every earthly leader.

In this episode, we contrast the human pastor (the shadow) with Christ (the reality):

• Temporary vs. Permanent: Why it hurts when pastors leave, and why Jesus is your only permanent leader.
• Serve vs. Save: Your pastor can only serve you; only Jesus can save to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25).
• Pray Sometimes vs. Intercedes Constantly: Jesus is your Advocate and Defender, living to pray for you without stopping.

When you recognize Jesus as the perfect priest, it frees you to approach human pastors and leaders with grace and discernment. We share 5 practical takeaways for establishing a healthy, non-idolatrous view of leadership in your life.

What does it really mean to love your enemies?

In this episode, we dive into one of the hardest teachings of Jesus: loving those who hurt, betray, or misunderstand us. Drawing from Luke 6 and Romans 12, we’ll unpack what sets Christian love apart from every other kind of love.

This isn’t about pretending everything’s okay or ignoring pain. It’s about becoming more like Jesus and letting His character shape our response when it would be easier to isolate or retaliate.

You’ll hear practical ways to:Pray for people who’ve hurt youTake your pain to God instead of carrying it alonePractice kindness and generosity with no strings attached

Because real love—the kind that changes hearts—starts with how we love the hardest people. If you’ve ever wrestled with forgiveness, boundaries, or what “loving like Jesus” really looks like, this episode is for you.

We all know the feeling: you’re working hard at your job, serving your family, or pursuing a ministry dream, and it feels completely pointless. This episode is a candid peek into my own journal, where I wrestle with the doubt that what I’m doing isn't "working" or isn't "big" enough.

We need daily encouragement (Hebrews 3:13) to fight the lie that faithfulness must be visible to matter. If God called you to it, it matters—not because it's changing the world, but because it's changing you.

Hebrews 11 shows us a paradox: through faith, heroes conquered kingdoms, but through faith, others were tortured and killed. True faithfulness is about running with endurance when it’s hard, messy, and slow—keeping your eyes focused on Jesus. You can do this!

Lately, I've been wrestling with what it truly means to be a Jesus follower, especially when observing the current climate among Christians online. Is it possible that we are so focused on being right or being loud that we're missing the single, defining mark of discipleship?

We dive into John 13:35—the commandment Jesus gave His disciples just hours before His betrayal and arrest: "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

We explore what love one another meant in the Upper Room and what it means for us today. We challenge the mindset "It's just me and God" by looking at Peter's passionate but misguided pledge to die for Jesus (John 13:36-38).

This episode is a call to broaden our definition of love from being sweet or hospitable to being truly sacrificial—slowing down, listening intentionally, and being willing to be uncomfortable for the comfort of others (John 15:12-13).

Let's be known by our love.

Do you know your calling, but feel derailed by busyness, comparison, or inadequacy? That is exactly where the enemy wants you. This week, we dive into the truth that God has called each of us to a unique "lane"—not just a job, but a specific way of stewarding our personality, gifts, and circumstances for His glory.

We identify the three major enemies of your unique calling: distraction, comparison, and shame.

But ultimately, many of us have one specific struggle: the fear of man. We break down what the fear of man really is (it’s more than people-pleasing!) and why seeking man's approval over God’s is the most dangerous trap to your purpose. We look at powerful Old and New Testament scripture to show why it is truly safer to fear God than to fear man, and how that one shift can free you to boldly pursue your calling.

Grief is an inevitable part of the human experience, but how do followers of Jesus navigate its complexity? This week, we dive into a listener-submitted topic that is timely and deeply personal, exploring the path from just tolerating pain to practicing Good Grief.

We look directly at the biblical model of lament, and spend time dissecting the raw, honest, and often dark honesty found in the book of Lamentations. We wrestle with knowing our pain was allowed, or even caused, by God's hand—yet this is where true breakthrough happens.

Grief is not just something we endure. It's a tool God uses to shape our faith. Join us as we uncover a 5-step biblical guide to bringing your whole, honest self and deepest pain to the feet of God.

Many of us are asking the question: Is what I'm doing making a difference? In a world that measures success in numbers, titles, and influence, it's easy to wonder if our lives truly matter. In this episode, we challenge our modern understanding of purpose and success by looking at the biblical story of Mary of Bethany, a woman who chose to be "wasted" on Jesus.
