"Am I good enough?" Most of us ask it and already assume the answer is no — short tempers, old grudges, the gap between who we want to be and who we actually are on a bad day. Even Martin Luther asked it, obsessively, until a mentor told him something that flipped the question entirely. This isn't a pep talk about trying harder. It's about where the goodness actually comes from — and it's not from you.

Pastor Ben talks about what Jesus actually says about doubt, identity, and belonging, including a true story about two strangers, a stubborn dog on a beach in Wales. If you've ever felt like you're on the outside looking in, this one's for you.

If you've ever wondered how to make real friends as an adult, you're not alone in asking. Church can be a strange place for this — you can sit next to the same people every week and still feel like strangers. In this message, we look at what separates simply being connected from actually being someone's friend. Whatever season of friendship you're in — full, empty, or somewhere in between — this one's for you.

Thirty-six years ago, a girl group with some serious rock-and-roll pedigree wrote a song about hitting bottom, and it became a number one hit. Today we're going back to that song, and further back to a judge named Samson, to ask a question most of us would rather dodge: why do you keep repeating unhealthy patterns even after you know better?

1981 was a year that swung wildly between despair and disbelief · hostages freed, a president and a pope both shot at, and a one-hit-wonder song that somehow still gets stuck in your head. That song is the key to today's episode and the story from Acts 3.

The meaning behind Fleetwood Mac's Landslide changes depending on what season of life you're in: changes, growing older, wondering if you can handle what's next. In this episode, Pastor Ben Bergren follows that same question through the story of Moses.

Stop comparing yourself to others·Paul says grace already settled your worth, not your ledger. If you've ever caught yourself keeping score—against a sibling, a coworker, that person from high school on Facebook—you're not alone, and you're not crazy. It's how we're wired. Paul helps us see a better path forward.
