Have you ever wanted to get caught being good? In Matthew 6:1-8 and 16–18, Jesus warns against doing spiritual practices like giving, praying, and fasting to gain the approval of others.There's a difference between doing things so others see you and doing things so God sees you. That difference? Find out for yourself in this episode.

You probably have some difficult people in your life. They frustrate you; they annoy you; they disappoint you; they just make life more difficult. But they don’t have to keep you from living the good life. This week, we’ll learn what Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people and where dealing with bad people intersects with the good life.

What’s the cost of a little compromise?In today's livestream, we’ll explore how small loopholes and half-truths can erode our integrity—and why Jesus says the good life can’t be built on anything less than the whole truth. Join us as we look at what it means to live with integrity in a culture that often rewards cutting corners.

We live in a world that’s saturated with sexualized content - images, ads, and entertainment designed to grab your attention. But the way our culture teaches us to consume, view, and think about sex is shaping our relationships, and our mental health for the worse. This Sunday, we’re talking about the kind of freedom that no one is advertising: freedom from shame, and objectification. Jesus’ words from 2,000 years on sexual desire might be more relevant today than ever before. They might just change the way you see yourself and others.

Jesus begins his most famous message by shifting the focus from rules to the heart. In this section, He takes a command that seems straightforward, and then pushes it somewhere deeper. This week, we’re exploring what happens when anger lingers, when contempt takes root, and how it shapes us in ways we don’t always see. What Jesus says next is one of His most unsettling truths yet.

Most of us think being “good enough” is the goal. Be kind. Try hard. Don’t mess up too much. But what if the bar is way higher than we imagined, and we were never meant to clear it on our own? This week, we’re talking about what Jesus really meant when He said He came to fulfill the law. Spoiler: it’s not about following more rules. It’s about something better.

When Jesus introduced his brand-new followers to the ways of God’s Kingdom, he let them know that everyone is invited to enter, but it would not leave them unaffected. Jesus came so that everyone who encountered him would become part of a radical new countercultural community within the community. A community that has a disproportionate impact on the world around us.

Blessed Are the Loud, Rich, and Self-Made? That’s the message we’ve all grown up with. Be louder. Go bigger. Look successful. But if that’s the path to happiness… why does it still feel so empty?This episode takes a hard look at what we call “blessed” in our culture—and asks if we’ve been aiming at the wrong target all along.

When his ministry began, Jesus burst onto the scene. From the jump, people were flocking to him from everywhere. So, he used the opportunity to proclaim his Kingdom Manifesto, or as we call it, The Sermon on the Mount. If we are to repent because God’s Kingdom has come near what does that look like? What does it mean, practically, in our inner and outer lives, to live in God’s Kingdom? The Sermon on Mount is the answer, and it shows us the way to live the good life.

Who needs a God who sends people to hell? Isn’t an eternity of punishment disproportionate for a few decades of sin? If you’ve ever wondered that, perhaps your view of hell has been shaped by medieval thought more than it has been shaped by Jesus.
