Milestones

This week we’re diving into John 4, where Jesus calls Himself the Living Water. What does that really mean—for the Samaritan woman, for the disciples, and for us today? Together we’ll see how Jesus meets us in our deepest thirst, offers true satisfaction that nothing else can, redefines what worship looks like, and sends us into a harvest that’s already ready. If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry or wondered where real fulfillment comes from, this conversation will point you back to the only source who never runs dry.

In this episode, we explore what it means to stay close in belief through two powerful stories from John 2 and 3: Mary at the wedding in Cana, and Nicodemus under the cover of night. We unpack the bold, expectant faith of a mother who trusted Jesus before He ever performed a miracle, and the quiet, questioning heart of a religious leader who struggled to understand what it really meant to be born again. Whether your belief feels strong or shaky, this conversation invites you to draw near to Jesus—even when you don’t have all the answers.

In this episode, we are starting a new series called Stay Close. This series is a journey through the Gospel of John designed to help us draw near to Jesus — one chapter, one week at a time. We begin with John 1 and the powerful truth that Jesus is the Word made flesh.

We’ll explore what it means to stay close to Him by staying close to Scripture — not just out of habit, but out of hunger for His presence. You’ll hear biblical context, real-life application, and practical encouragement for opening the Bible relationally, chewing on truth slowly, and letting God’s voice be your first voice.

Staying close to Jesus by staying close to His Word. This isn’t about checking a box — it’s about meeting a Person.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most challenging yet transformational fruits of the Spirit: self-control. Through honest conversation and personal stories, our panel explores how self-control shows up in real life—not just as behavior modification, but as evidence of a Spirit-led life.

We talk about:

What self-control looks like when it’s rooted in God’s love versus legalism

How the Holy Spirit empowers us to respond differently than our natural tendencies

Thought patterns that make it hard to believe God delights in us

And the difference between striving to be “enough” and living from the truth that we already are His

Whether you're in a season of discipline or one where you're struggling to find balance, join us for this episode which is full of grace, encouragement, and practical wisdom for the journey.

In this week’s Milestones episode, we dive into one of the most misunderstood fruits of the Spirit—gentleness. Far from being weak or passive, gentleness is the Spirit-empowered ability to respond with calm strength, even when tensions are high and emotions are raw.

Through the powerful story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8), we see gentleness in action: protecting before correcting, speaking truth with kindness, and offering dignity instead of shame. Jesus models a radical, countercultural response that challenges us to live differently—especially in a world that often equates loudness with strength.

In this episode, we’re diving into the power of God-ordained relationships—those “next-level” connections that shape our journey in ways we never saw coming. Just like David and Jonathan in Scripture, there are times when God brings someone into our lives to strengthen us, speak truth, and walk beside us through the highs and lows.

Join us as our panel shares real stories of how God has used others to call out courage, speak life, and help us step into the next chapter of our faith journey.

What does it mean to be found faithful in a world obsessed with results, recognition, and hustle? In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked fruit of the Spirit—faithfulness—through the lens of 1 Corinthians 4:2: “It is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”

We look at how God calls us not to be impressive, but faithful—in the quiet places, the unseen moments, and the daily decisions that shape our character.

In this episode, we dive into the story of the Prodigal Son to explore the goodness of God. Through this parable, we uncover three key aspects of God's goodness: His forgiveness, His restoration, and His unmerited grace. We discuss how these qualities reflect the fruit of the Spirit and how they challenge us to live out goodness in our own lives.

Join us as we explore how we can cultivate forgiveness, extend grace, and restore relationships, all while growing in the fruit of goodness that reflects God's character to the world around us.

In this week's episode, Sarah led us in a powerful discussion on the fruit of the Spirit: kindness. Using the story of the Good Samaritan, we explored what true kindness looks like—not just toward those who are easy to love, but even toward those who challenge us.

The panel shared personal experiences of struggling to be kind, talked about how we handle showing kindness to our enemies, and wrestled with the reality that kindness often requires personal sacrifice.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to love your neighbor or how to cultivate Christ-like kindness in a world that often feels unkind, this episode is for you.

Join us as we reflect on how we can put kindness into action every day!

In this episode, we dive into one of the most challenging yet essential fruits of the Spirit—patience. We explore how impatience often reveals our struggle to surrender control and how true patience is not just waiting but actively trusting God's perfect timing.

Join us as we learn how to trust God's timing, extend grace to others, and grow in patience—because patience isn’t just about enduring delays; it’s about becoming more like Christ.
