Make It Make Sense!

Isaiah 11–15 warns us that pride can be our downfall. Just like Jazmine Sullivan’s hit Lions, Tigers and Bears highlights fear in unexpected places, we often boast in ourselves instead of God. This episode digs into pride at home, at work, and in church—and shows why true strength is found in humility.

In Isaiah 6–10, we see Isaiah’s vision of God’s holiness and the promise of Immanuel—God with us.

It’s a reminder of the depth of God’s love and mercy for His people.

Kicking off our new Oldies but Goodies series, we dive into Isaiah 1–5 with inspiration from Kirk Franklin’s 1993 classic “Silver and Gold.” Why do we keep chasing things that can’t satisfy? What’s truly valuable in life? In this episode, we wrestle with distractions, idols, and misplaced priorities—and remind ourselves that purpose and meaning are found only in God.

Malachi’s challenge still hits home—are we truly giving God our best, or just what’s left over? From our worship to our work, God deserves excellence. Join us as we confront complacency, raise our standards, and rediscover what it looks like to honor God with our first and finest.

In the final chapters of Zechariah, God calls His people to holiness—but not just for holiness’ sake. Have we forgotten our “why”? In this thought-provoking episode, we wrestle with the ultimate purpose of our faith, how Israel lost sight of theirs, and how we can realign our motivation with God’s ultimate goal for our lives.

The Book of Zechariah (chapters 1–8) reminds us that God gives vision not just to leaders, but to His people. What does it mean to have a vision from God? How can we keep it alive when life gets messy? In this episode, we unpack Zechariah’s message and explore how to see, embrace, and encourage God-given vision in today’s world.

Are you on fire for God—or just going through the motions? In this episode, we dive into the books of Habakkuk and Zephaniah to check our spiritual temperature. Join David, Floyd, Vicki, and special guest Kevin Smith as they discuss what it means to be spiritually hot, cold, or lukewarm—and how to move past complacency into real maturity.

In a world where injustice seems to win, is God still in control? In this episode of Make It Make Sense, we dive into the Book of Nahum and ask the hard questions: Does God really judge everyone? Will the wicked and privileged ever face consequences? Join David Brown, Pastor Floyd Lee, Vicki Cox, and Michai Mosby as they unpack how Nahum’s warning to Nineveh speaks to today’s culture and how believers should respond when justice feels delayed. Don’t miss this bold and timely conversation—because justice is still in God's hands.

Why do bad things keep happening? Is God just judgmental—or is there more to it?
