New Year. New goals. New habits.

But is Christianity really about trying harder… or being made new?

In this episode of Sunday Is Not Enough, we talk about what it actually means to be reborn in Christ. We dig into the difference between cultural Christianity and real transformation, why Christianity isn’t just self-help or moral improvement, and what it means for your old self to die so new life can begin.

We discuss:

• Why “New Year, New You” falls short without Christ
• Are people basically good, or deeply broken?
• Christianity vs self-help: self-reliance vs surrender
• What being “born again” really means
• Grace, repentance, baptism, and daily faith
• Why the Christian life isn’t about trying harder, but being made alive

Christianity isn’t advice — it’s news.
 It’s not about fixing yourself — it’s about surrendering to Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered whether church on Sunday is enough, or why faith is meant to shape every part of life, this conversation is for you.

📖 Scripture referenced: Matthew 5:14–16

Every December we hear the phrase “remember the reason for the season” — but what does that really mean?

In this Christmas episode of Sunday Is Not Enough, we slow things down and refocus on the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ. In a world full of lights, stress, traditions, Santa Claus, and distractions, we return to Scripture to rediscover why Jesus came and what His arrival means for us today.

We walk through key passages including:

• Galatians 4:4–5 — Jesus coming at the fullness of time to redeem us
• Isaiah 9:2 — Light entering a dark and broken world
• Luke 2:1–7 — The humble birth of Christ
• Matthew 1:23 — Emmanuel, God with us

Jesus didn’t arrive loudly or in luxury — He came humbly, entering our mess to redeem it. Christmas isn’t about God sending help; it’s about God coming Himself.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise of Christmas or disconnected from its meaning, this episode is for you.

🎄 Remember the reason for the season.
✝️ Jesus is the light that darkness cannot overcome.

Welcome back to another episode of Sunday’s Not Enough!
Justin, Brandon, and Steven dive into a powerful conversation about what it really means to live out your faith.

💬 “Faith without works is dead.” — James 2:17

We talk about:

• The relationship between faith, trust, and hope — how each plays a role in our walk with Christ.
• Why salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works — but true faith will produce change in your life.
• The importance of doing the right thing even when no one’s watching.
• How what’s inside your heart naturally flows into your actions.
• James’ practical wisdom on living an honorable life by trusting God daily.

Plus, plenty of laughs (and some unexpected Finding Nemo references 🐠).

🎧 Tune in and join the conversation as we talk about faith that moves — not just faith that speaks.

In this episode of Sunday Is Not Enough, Brandon, Justin, and Steven dive deep into the truth behind hustle culture — the obsession with constant grinding, long hours, and glorifying busyness. Is it really what God calls us to do? Or are we missing His design for balance, peace, and purpose?

From blue-collar life to entrepreneurship, we talk about the dangers of idolizing productivity, the beauty of Sabbath rest, and how to find joy in working for the Lord — not just for results.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• What is hustle culture and why it’s dangerous
• The biblical difference between hard work and idolizing work
• Why rest is sacred, not lazy
• How Jesus modeled rest and reliance on God
• Overcoming fear, pride, and comparison in our work

📖 Key Verses Mentioned:
 Genesis 2:15, Colossians 3:23, Mark 2:27, Matthew 11:28–30, Luke 5:16

✝️ “Work is a gift, not a god. Rest is a command, not a suggestion.”
