In Between Sundays

Description: We paused our regular schedule to process this week’s events, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and another school shooting, and how followers of Jesus can respond with wisdom, courage, and compassion. This isn’t an easy conversation, and we don’t claim to have all the answers. But in the middle of fear, division, and grief, our hope is to point you back to Jesus, the only true source of peace and hope.

In this episode, we wrestle with questions like:

 Why does this tragedy feel so different?

 How should Christians respond when the world feels like it’s falling apart?

 What does forgiveness look like in moments of hate and violence?

 How do we move forward as the Church without losing sight of Jesus?

What do you do when the people you trust most in your church are the ones who hurt you?

From small disappointments to life-altering abuse, “church hurt” covers a spectrum of pain—and it’s far more common than most of us realize. In this candid conversation, we share our own stories of hurt inside the church, unpack why it feels so personal, and explore how to heal without losing your faith.

We’ll talk about:

The difference between abuse and disappointment in church life

Why hurt in the church cuts deeper than in other areas of life

Practical steps to process your pain and find safe people

How forgiveness, patience, and leaning in can lead to healing

Whether you’ve been hurt by gossip, poor leadership, betrayal, or worse, our prayer is that you’ll discover hope, perspective, and a next step toward restoration.

If you’ve experienced church hurt—you are not alone.

We’re here to say: we’re sorry for what happened, and we believe God can heal what’s been broken.

Most of us worry about money more than we want to admit. Will there be enough? Will I be able to provide for my family? In this episode of In Between Sundays, we tackle the fear of not having enough—and what Jesus really meant when He said, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

Tony and Maggie share real-life stories about financial anxiety, cultural pressure to have “more,” and the difference between God’s provision and our own definitions of success. We explore how generosity and gratitude work together to break the cycle of fear, why contentment is more powerful than wealth, and how to live with peace in a culture of FOMO and comparison.

Whether you’ve got plenty in the bank or you’re wondering how to make ends meet, this conversation will help you shift from scarcity to abundance—without falling for prosperity gospel promises.

What if your biggest enemy isn’t your past, but how often you relive it?

In this episode of In Between Sundays, Tony and Maggie unpack the power of rumination, the trap of shame, and why we so often dwell on past mistakes, even long after they’ve happened.

Drawing from Isaiah 43 and real stories from their lives, they explore how to move forward in faith, process past trauma with honesty, and rediscover your identity in Christ.

Whether you’re stuck in regret or haunted by your own voice, this episode will remind you: you are not your mistakes.

In this episode of In Between Sundays, we’re kicking off a 3-part series on fear by tackling one of the most universal struggles: the fear of change.

We dive into Joshua 1, laugh through personal stories (yes, including a mouse panic and a dancing avocado tattoo), and get honest about what it means to be strong and courageous in a world that constantly shifts around us.

Whether you’re stepping into a new season or clinging to stability, this conversation will remind you:

Courage isn’t about being fearless—it’s about being connected.

Topics We Cover:

Why “fear not” is misunderstood

Joshua’s terrifying promotion

Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—how we each respond to fear

When calling feels like the last thing you wanted

How to tell if God is leading… or if you’re just restless

The power of community in seasons of uncertainty

Temptation rarely starts with obvious sin, it starts with a lie. A small distortion. A whisper of doubt. In this message, we explore how the enemy's strategy hasn't changed since Eden… and how Jesus shows us a better way to resist.

If you’ve ever wondered why spiritual battles feel so subtle at first, this episode is for you. Learn the three-part pattern of temptation—and how to break free through truth, intimacy with God, and a rooted identity.

We don’t usually reject God outright. We just… get busy.

In this episode, we’re talking about the slow drift that happens when your calendar gets full, your mind gets cluttered, and your soul starts starving. This isn’t a sin issue—it’s a priority issue. And it’s stealing your intimacy with God without you even realizing it.

Drawing from biblical stories, personal experience, and honest reflection, we’ll help you identify what’s crowding out God in your life—and how to make space again.

What’s getting your first and best?

Are you unintentionally pushing God to the margins?

And how can you return to a life marked by presence, not just productivity?

What does it really mean to be a person after God's own heart? In this episode of In Between Sundays, we take a deep dive into the story of David—the broken, flawed king—and what made him different from Saul. It wasn’t his perfection. It was his response to failure.

Through moments of worship, repentance, and raw vulnerability, David gives us a model not of perfection—but of proximity to God. This episode explores:

Why David was called “a man after God’s own heart”

What true repentance looks like

Why sin doesn’t define you—but your response does

How to draw close to God in the everyday moments between Sundays
