Do you really need to be in a small group to grow spiritually? Today Lisa and Bruce talk about the importance of Christian community and discuss some of people’s reasons for not joining a group.

This week author and speaker Dr. Jon Trent from Strong Families joins Lisa to talk about blessing others through meaningful conversations and building an attachment to God through engaging him individually.

This week Laurie Wright joins Lisa and Bruce to talk about how we can “bring the vision home.”

We’re kicking off a new series with special guest Neal Mackey. We’re talking about Christ Fellowship’s mission to be people helping people find and follow Christ. Is that as intimidating as it sounds? Neal’s going to demystify Jesus’ Great Commission.

Bruce and Lisa continue last week’s discussion of judging and tolerance and get even more practical. When should you approach someone about a concern you have and how do you handle those difficult conversations?

Jesus says, “Do not judge.” But he also says, “judge correctly.” So which is it? Today Bruce and Lisa discuss judging and tolerance and navigating difficult conversations. How can we be bold in what we believe without being judgmental?

It’s another Halftime episode! In their third and final conversation on sexuality and gender, Lisa challenges Bruce with some questions from…TikTok.
