Merry Christmas, Afterthinkers!

Joy usually isn’t the word most people use to describe their Christmas. But the night Jesus was born, an angel reminded some shepherds that the good news will cause great joy. In this message, Ryan reminds us that the good news will bring great joy to all people, all the time.

The Missing Peace

In today’s episode, the guys discuss such things as YouTube comments, the Heisman Trophy, Control vs. Surrender, and Christmas Stuff.

December can be a difficult month. When things get crazy, it can be easy to try to control our lives instead of surrendering. This week, Ryan takes us through the story of King Herod and talks about how dangerous control can be.

In this episode, the guys discuss such topics as nature, Doug drinking very loudly while Ethan is talking, phones, Christmas season, College football, and everything else.

93% of our time is spent inside, but God’s creation is trying to tell us a better story. It’s time to go outside: let the wonder of creation lead you to worship the Creator, and let the reality of seasons remind you that while you’re still waiting, God is still working.

In today's episode of the podcast, Ryan tries not to cry, Ethan tries not to laugh, and Doug tries not to cuss as they read bad reviews in this Grinchmas Special.

In the final week of our Kingdom Builders series, Doug walks us through how God turns pieces into promises through faith, grit, and vision -- with a call to embrace the process and witness His power as we prepare for the miraculous growth in our church.
