Every morning somebody says, “How you doing, Jared?” and every morning Jared says, “Good.” Nobody knows he’s been sleeping on the couch since summer, or that he sat in his truck for twenty minutes before he could walk inside. This week we open the book of Esther, the one book in the Bible where God’s name never shows up, and ask a question a lot of us carry quietly: does it matter that I’m here? We cover how a Jewish orphan ended up queen of Persia, why your zip code and your job site are not an accident, and why comfort can talk you into staying quiet. We also look at how Paul paid his rent sewing tents, how a Guitar Center sales floor turned into a baptism, and how a Sunday school teacher walking into a Boston shoe store changed history. The takeaway for the week: God didn’t just give you resources, He gave you a location. This week, write down a few names, pray for them, and ask one real question.

The clocks rolled back and everybody got a free hour, but some people spent it awake in the dark with a phone in their hand, running the numbers on groceries, tires, and Christmas. Under every money question sits a bigger one: who’s actually taking care of me? In this first message of the Bought In series, we walk through 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 and see why you’re the sower and not the source, how fear grabs the seed and eats it, why giving is a response to grace and not a payment, and what God really promises when He says He’ll give you enough plus enough to share. This week’s takeaway: the bill might still be due Monday, but you’re not facing it alone.

Nobody wears the bunny head all day. Somewhere there’s a backstage where it comes off and you can finally breathe, and most of us are still looking for ours. This week Josh wraps up Masks with the question hiding under every “I’m good”: where can I take this off and not get crushed for what’s underneath? He walks through why the verdict we’re so afraid of has already been settled, why a three-year-old with a plastic lawnmower says more about faith than a chore chart, and what a famous experiment with a mom and her baby tells us about the real fear under every mask. It ends with two moves for this week, one for the person who needs to be honest and one for the person who needs to be safe.

One verse. That’s all we opened up this week, and it might be the most honest message in the whole Masks series. We heard a story about playing Judas in a high school musical, buttoning up a shirt one button at a time, and a kid in the audience who said he’d never seen that face before. From there we talked about why “no one knows” feels like toughness but usually isn’t, why confession is more like flipping on a light than groveling, and four simple steps for starting this week. If you’ve been carrying something alone for a long time, this one’s for you.

Most of us have gotten really good at saying “I’m fine” while our stomach is in a knot. This week we started a series on the masks we wear, and we found a song written by professional worship leaders who skipped the mask and told God the truth. We talked about why feeling far from God doesn’t mean he is, how to talk back to the voice in your head at 2:00am, and why hope is less like a feeling you catch once and more like a well you keep going back to. If you’ve ever sat in your driveway with the engine off, this one’s for you.

You said yes to Jesus, and now it's Monday. So what do you do with a saved life? A lot of us end up in the bleachers, rating the music and the message, when God made us to be on the floor. This week we looked at why church was never meant to be a show with a staff, what spiritual gifts really are (grace with a job attached), and why God covers the strength you think you don't have. We closed with three simple things you can try this week, and one bottle of milk that made the whole room laugh.

There's a guy in Luke 19 that nobody in Jericho was making room for, a wealthy, despised tax collector named Zacchaeus who wanted a look at Jesus so badly he ran through the street and climbed a tree like a kid, just to see over the crowd. This week we looked at what happened next: Jesus stopped, looked up, and called him by name before Zacchaeus had repented, apologized, or handed back a single coin. We talked about why grace always moves first, the difference between feeling sorry and actually changing, and a story from one of our own church members about what it meant to simply be remembered by name. We closed by naming one person we've each quietly filed under a label instead of a name, and what it looks like to go after them this week.

Solomon spent seven years and an unlimited budget building the most impressive room in the ancient world, and none of it produced what happened next. This week we looked at the moment a hundred and twenty priests picked up their trumpets, sang one unified note, and a cloud rolled in that stopped trained professionals cold in the middle of a job they'd rehearsed their whole lives. We talked about a nursery we painted years before our son ever cried for the first time, why preparation only ever gets you into the room, and what 2025 clinical research on awe says about an experience people have been pointing to for three thousand years. We also looked at four people in the Bible who each left one encounter with Jesus a completely different person than they were when they walked in.

In 2003, a hiker named Aron Ralston got his arm crushed under an 800 pound boulder in a Utah slot canyon, and what nearly killed him wasn't the accident. It was the fact that not one person knew where he was. This week we looked at an old book that says the same thing about your life: falling isn't the dangerous part, falling alone is. We talked about why an AI companion can never actually keep you warm no matter how good the conversation feels, what a Roman battle formation can teach you about real community, and why a triple braided cord might be the most accurate picture of your life you hear all year.

We've all seen AI slop, content that's technically fine but somehow hollow. Turns out a lot of us have been doing the human version of that for years, showing up but not really showing up. This week we started a new series looking at the values that shape who we are, beginning with excellence, and we found out God has never once asked for leftovers. He's after wholehearted, not flawless. From a greeting card mix-up to two brothers bringing very different offerings, this episode will make you think twice about what you're actually handing over this week, and to who.
