Sunday-2-Sunday Podcast

Can anything good come out of a small town? From the one-stoplight towns all over the United States to a little village called Bethlehem, God has a long habit of doing His biggest work in the places the world overlooks.

The ballots are in, the ads are finally over, and Christians are waking up with a lot of different feelings. In this special episode, Billy walks through the 2026 midterm results and what God’s Word says to believers the morning after: God still sets up kings, our help never ran for office, life is still worth defending, our leaders still need our prayers, and our neighbors still need our kindness.

Scripture: Daniel 2:20–21; Proverbs 21:1; Psalm 146:3–5; Psalm 139:13; Proverbs 31:8–9; Galatians 6:9; 1 Timothy 2:1–2; 1 Peter 2:17; Jeremiah 29:7; James 1:19; Colossians 4:6; Philippians 3:20; Revelation 11:15

Take-home: Pray by name for one leader you did not vote for, have one kind conversation with someone who voted differently, and serve your town this week.

Many of us read the Bible and walk away unchanged. In this episode, Billy walks through S.H.A.R.P., a five-step Bible study method built for busy Christians. Using Philippians 4:6–7 as the running example, you’ll learn how to slow down, hear what God meant, put the truth to work in your life, turn it into prayer, and pass it on to someone who needs it.

The S.H.A.R.P. method

• See what the text actually says: people, actions, words, structure, and tone.
• Hear what God meant through four contexts: literary, historical, scriptural, and gospel.
• Apply the truth to your heart, hands, path, relationships, soul, mission, identity, and craft.
• Respond in prayer with praise, confession, thanksgiving, and surrender.
• Proclaim what God taught you at home, in the church, and in the world.

Challenge for this week

Pick one short passage. Write down everything you see. Answer the four context questions. Write one application that begins “This week I will…” Pray the passage phrase by phrase. Then share what God showed you with one person before Sunday.

Today, we’re diving into one of the biggest lies our culture has ever sold us: 'Follow your heart.'

We’ve heard it everywhere—movies, TV shows, influencers, even some churches. “Follow your heart.” “Do what feels right.” “Trust your gut.”

Sounds empowering, right? But here’s the problem…

Your heart is a terrible guide.

Maybe you’ve been following Jesus for a while, but lately… it’s like you’re running on empty. You’re praying, but it feels like your words are hitting the ceiling. You’re reading your Bible, but nothing’s clicking. Or maybe you’re just not feeling motivated to pursue God at all.

If that’s you, listen—you’re not alone. Spiritual dry spells are real, and they can hit hard. But the good news? There’s a way out.

So today, I want to break down:

1. Why you might feel spiritually stuck.
2. What the Bible says about getting back on track.
3. A practical challenge to help you reset your focus this week.
