What does it actually mean to "abide" in the truth, and how can familiarizing ourselves with God's Word help us spot the counterfeits in our culture?

In this episode of Off Script, Scott and Neil reflect on the incredible success of the recent Meal Pack, where Southland packed one million meals across five campuses. They dive into the importance of men stepping up for mission trips. The heart of the conversation focuses on "Week 3" of the Reset Challenge, exploring how replacing digital noise with Bible teaching and daily reading in the Book of John is changing lives. Scott also unpacks what it means to "make yourself at home" in the Bible so that we can develop the discernment needed to navigate a world where truth is often seen as relative.

The Challenge

Don't let go of the discipline you've put in place. As we move into the final week of the Reset Challenge, continue your daily reading in the Book of John and look for ways to move from being a bystander to pouring your life out as an offering for something bigger than yourself.

Hosts: Neil Gregory and Scott Nickell
