How do we live out biblical values, boldly, in the church and in our homes? And how do we know if we're offending someone with the truth or with the way we talk and behave? Tune in as we explore some important questions about boldness for Christians, and also finally put the discussion on "fig newtons" to rest.

In this episode of Redemption Talks, we discuss the recently released Barna Data that shows Gen Z and Millennials are now attending churches at a higher rate than older generations (Gen X, Boomers, etc.). Tune in as we unpack the challenge and the opportunity set before the Church to reach younger generations for Christ!

Today, in Redemption Talks, we reflect on Charlie Kirk's memorial that took place on Sunday, September 21, and discuss the importance of a faith-filled life and discerning how to honor the life of a believer while keeping Jesus as the focus. We also answer the all-important question of what the best road-trip snack is (spoilers, it's not fig newtons).

Tune in as we unpack Redemption Church's vision for 2026 and beyond, diving into our goal for the next year, the next five years, and more as we pursue our vision to see our city redeemed one life at a time!

In today’s episode, we talk about artificial intelligence and some of its applications.  It’s in widespread use and available for all kinds of things.  Do we have a Biblical perspective?  In all honesty, this is our first real conversation about it and we’re trying to work it out ourselves.  Join us as we look into the application and ethics of artificial intelligence.

But before we get there, we play Guess That Word – a game in which you get a word and have to define it.  There are some really interesting ones.  The real challenge will be working them into your conversation this week.

The Post by Redemption | Episode 53 | Guess That Word and a Discussion on Artificial Intelligence

In today’s episode, we dive into the question “what role does ‘peace’ have in decision making?  On the one hand, it’s a fruit of the Spirit and is a demonstration that the Spirit is at work.  On the other hand, we’ve all seen the statement “I have peace about this…” used to justify a questionable decision or choice.  So what is peace and how does it factor in?

But before we get there, we play Finish the Lyric with Amy.  How well do you know worship songs?  Can you get the answer before we do?

The Post by Redemption | Episode 52 | Finish The Lyric and Using Peace as a Guide

In today’s episode, we call an audible from what we had planned on talking about and instead get into the topic of faith that amazes Jesus.  All faith isn’t equal and, from scripture, it would seem that there is a faith that amazes God, that surprises him (if we can say such a thing).  We’ll get into where we seeing this in scripture, what it is about the faith that makes God marvel, and how we can develop and grow in our faith. 

But before we get there, we play Lighting Round – a quick game with four questions about what your listening to, what your doing, where you’re going, and what you’re reading.

The Post by Redemption | Episode 51 | Lightning Round and What Is Amazing Faith

In today’s episode, we catch up with Danny, our youth pastor.  We talk about the new series they’re starting on Romans – specifically the second half.  The series focuses on the last part of Romans from chapters 12-15. 

But before we get there, we’re going to play a new game about pronunciation.  There are lots of opinions on how things should be pronounced and we have a little fun with it!

The Post by Redemption | Episode 50 | Pronounce This and An Overview of Romans

In today’s episode, we begin to look at spiritual warfare.  It conjures different images for different people.  Some see a demon behind every bush, others have never seen a demon.  But one thing is sure – the Bible talks about it.  We’re going to wade into the waters and see what we can learn from the gospels, from Acts, and from the rest of the new testament.

But before we get there, we’re going to play “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader” – the Bible edition.  Amy leads us through some questions about the Bible!

The Post by Redemption | Episode 49 | Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader and Spiritual Warfare 101

In today’s episode, we circle back on the story of Lot.  There is so much in this section of Genesis that we couldn’t fit it all into sermons.  The good news is that God is speaking clearly through this section of scripture and there’s a lot to hear.  But along with that, there are still many questions about what’s going on.

But before we get there, we’re going to play a quick round of Over / Under.  You can play along with us!
