The Bible consistently teaches that seeking advice is a mark of wisdom. But in a world full of noise and conflicting voices, not all advice is helpful—or even trustworthy. So how can we discern good counsel from bad? How do we go about finding wise, godly advice in the midst of the chaos?

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from 1 Kings 22, guiding us through the story of two kings in desperate need of godly counsel. As he unpacks the pitfalls and dangers they faced, Chris challenges us to embrace the simple—yet often difficult—pursuit of seeking wise, godly counsel.

Have you ever heard someone say that "God led them" to do something? Or have you ever prayed for God to guide you in making a decision? These kinds of questions can stir up either skepticism or a deep longing to hear from God personally. When it comes to life’s big decisions, the Bible consistently shows us that God has a long history of guiding His people.

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp explores Acts 16:6–10 to show us how God’s direction played out in the early church—and he shares practical ways we can seek God’s guidance in our own lives today.

Research shows that the average adult makes around 35,000 conscious decisions every day. That’s a staggering number. Some of those decisions are small and routine, while others are large and life-shaping. Sometimes, choices that seem minor carry major consequences—and at other times, we treat significant decisions as if they’re insignificant. So how can we learn to make better decisions?

In this episode, Executive Pastor Glenn Goldsberry introduces the first part of our decision-making framework: Is it Biblical? Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Glenn offers practical and insightful guidance to help us navigate decisions with clarity and conviction.

The biggest danger that Christians have with Easter is becoming so familiar with the story of Jesus' resurrection that we forget the power it holds not only in the past, but in the present and the future. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp preaches an Easter message from 1 Corinthians 15:1-8. Chris reminds us of the facts of the resurrection and why they are essential for us both now and forever.

Do you ever find yourself wondering if some people are simply too far gone for God to reach? As Christians, we often say, "Nothing is impossible with God," yet deep down, we wrestle with doubt.

In his sermon, "No One Is Too Far Away," Pastor Chris Kipp unpacks 1 Kings 17:17-24, which tells the story of the first resurrection recorded in the Bible. Through Elijah’s bold faith and fervent prayer, we see a powerful reminder that no one is beyond God's reach. Chris challenges us to follow Elijah’s example—lifting our faith, crying out in prayer, and believing in Christ’s power to transform even the most unlikely lives.

Fasting is a powerful yet often overlooked spiritual discipline in modern Christianity. However, Jesus said "when you fast," not "if you fast," emphasizing its importance. It’s time to rediscover fasting as a spiritual weapon.

We have a complicated, often dysfunctional relationship with our work. We can bow down to the idols of achievement and career, letting work consume our lives. Or, we can view work as something to be avoided if possible. But, the Proverbs give us a refreshingly honest and redemptive understanding of work.

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp continues our series on Proverbs with the message "Wisdom For Your Work". Chris points us to the Biblical wisdom of working hard and working smart, and working with both diligence and excellence, while avoiding burnout and laziness. Finally, Chris lands with the grace of God that works in us in our work.
