For a short time, Bailey is joining the staff of King's Way as our worship intern!

In this episode, Ryan sits down and interviews Bailey with all the hard-hitting questions a seasoned journalist would ask–questions about her family background, her faith journey, and her favorite Pokémon. Whether or not you get the opportunity to serve at one of the camps she's leading worship for this summer, we hope you're blessed by meeting some of the people who make King's Way what it is!

This last week Ryan preached a faith-foundation check-up sermon that led to the introduction of the Apostles' Creed as a spiritual practice for our church. To give more space to talk about it, Trevor and Ryan had a conversation on the podcast, giving historical background, language and content critique, and pastoral and formational needs that it can help with.

Join the conversation by letting us know if you've heard this creed before or your church used it growing up!

In the world of Christian video content on social media, one of the most popular kinds is content defending the Christian faith, especially on college campuses. When skilled practitioners take on the task of defending the faith in public, you hear them continually steer the conversation to the resurrection of Jesus.

The resurrection is the hinge of the Christian faith, but so often we stop short of God's promise to resurrect us.

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan talk through the resurrection, discussing how it fits into the biblical picture of life after death, if Jesus was a zombie, and how heaven is good, but it isn't the end of the world. Join the conversation by letting us know your thoughts on the content below!

What do you know about life after death?

How closely do you think your understanding of it aligns with the scriptural presentation of heaven and eternity?

In this episode, Trevor and Ryan discuss N.T. Wright's book, Surprised By Hope, which is meant to help Christians leave our cultural understanding of heaven and the afterlife and pursue a more biblically faithful one. The guys cover topics like the distinction between the intermediate state and eternity, end-times escapism, and what "on earth as in heaven" means about heaven, earth, and us!
