Marriage is more than just a relationship between two people; it's a profound reflection of how God loves us. Yet, in today's culture, there are many misconceptions about marriage—arguably the most intimate and challenging of human relationships. If God is speaking to us through marriage, it’s crucial that we understand what He has to say.

In this episode, Whit and Casey discuss Ephesians 4 and unpack the biggest problem to our marriages: self-centeredness and the antidote: the gospel.

Do I really have to honor someone I disagree with? Malachi, the last prophetic voice before the coming of Christ, addresses a generation that had become complacent, dishonoring, and lacking integrity, and his message still resonates today. Malachi reminds us that our actions, both in small and large matters, reflect our understanding of who God is.

In this episode, Whit and Casey discuss reverence, honor, and integrity in our relationship with God and others.

The book of Zechariah offers both a prophetic glimpse into the future and a powerful message for the present.

But how do we interpret this rich symbolism, and what does the Holy Spirit's influence look like in our lives today?

In this episode, Whit and Casey delve into Zechariah chapters 3 and 4, exploring the work of the Holy Spirit and what it means to be a living sacrifice.

Our emotions are not off-limits! In this episode, Jamie and Heather talk about what they thought of the movie Inside Out 2.

Grab your popcorn and come along for the ride!

Prayer is not a place to be perfect; it's a place to be honest. Habakkuk begins by pouring his heart out to God, lamenting the injustice and wickedness he sees. This kind of raw honesty can be uncomfortable, but God wants us to bring our whole selves to Him in prayer—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

In this episode, Whit and Casey explore the cultural context of Habakkuk, praying honest prayers, God’s relationship to evil, and our hope for the future.

In this episode, Casey references a quote from Where Prayer Becomes Real by Kyle Strobel

The devil doesn't always tempt us with things that are obviously evil—sometimes he tempts us with comfort. Wrestling with God involves not compromising in moments of discomfort. It means taking your whole self to the Lord and saying, "I don't know if I can trust you, but I'm going to dig into your word and community to find out."

In this episode, Jamie and Heather talk about what it means to wrestle with God, dealing with discomfort, and the power of community.

We have an insatiable appetite for stories. Art helps us make sense of the world, bypassing logic and getting directly at the heart. The story of Ruth teaches us in four chapters what Ruth and Naomi learned over a lifetime.

In this episode, Whit and Lyndsey discuss ruth chapter 3, the power of story, how to make sense of the seemingly risqué actions of Ruth, complete submission and vulnerability, and how it all points to Jesus.

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we hope or plan. When we face loss and disappointment, we may question if God is who He says He is. We can learn a lot about facing adversity from the story of Ruth and Naomi, who both lose everything they have but continue to move toward God.

In this episode, Whit and Chris discuss navigating suffering, wrestling with God, small steps of faithfulness, and God’s partnership with man.
