Max and Brian sit down to discuss, why is control such a dominating factor within our lives and what can we do about it.

Why does controlling through ability and accumulation ultimately fail us? What do we receive when we give up control?

Why does confession feel so difficult when it actually brings life? What is the difference between legalism and consecration? How do we bear our cross daily in our modern lives?

Each of us must answer the question, “Who do we believe Jesus is?” Everything flows from that answer.

Why is confession and repentance so necessary? What does God warn against?

Yasmin and Brian sit down to talk about what does it look like to continue the healing ministry of Jesus? Why do we continue to ask? Is there a right way to approach healing prayers?

Does the healing ministry of Jesus continue through us? What does it look like to pray for healing?

What does it mean to be called by God? What can we learn from Jesus' call upon his disciples?

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? We take a look at Luke 5:1-11 to understand what it means to receive the love of Jesus, leave everything behind and follow him.

This episode continues our conversation around digital attention, discipleship, and the long-term formation happening beneath our habits. Rather than asking “Is technology good or bad?” we asked a deeper questions about spiritual formation: Who are we becoming?
