Talks On The Road

In our final Summer Rewind episode of the season, Pastor Matt, Candace, and Pastor Joe explore how our choices fit within God's sovereign will and how human decisions intersect with His purposes.

We are back with one of your favorite episodes! Now Don't turn off the podcast—this one's for you. Even if you don't consider yourself an angry person, anger is sneaky. What tends to trigger it in us? At its core, anger is a response to something we perceive as wrong. Join Matt, Candace, and Joe as they unpack the topic of sinful and righteous anger together.

Today we look back on our descussion with Dr. Matthew Emerson, professor at Oklahoma Baptist University and author of He Descended to the Dead. In this week's REWIND series, we explore the significance of Holy Saturday—what happened on that day and why it matters. Join us as we walk through this often-overlooked moment in the story of redemption and address common misconceptions many believers hold.

Let's rewind back to when we spoke with Matt Boswell about singing. Back when we were approaching Advent and our Advent sermon series, "Let Heaven and Nature Sing," we spoke with a special guest, Matt Boswell—pastor of The Trails Church in Celina, TX, and a well-known church music leader and hymn writer. Join us as we dive into the beauty of corporate singing and explore what Scripture teaches about singing together as the body of Christ.

Today on Unsaid on Sunday, Pastor Matt explores the remarkable parallels between Joseph's life in Genesis and Daniel's story later in the Old Testament. Tune in as he unpacks this biblical connection and shares an insight that didn't make it into Sunday's sermon.

Welcome back to our REWIND series on Talks on the Road! This week we're excited to revisit the conversation with Ian Harber. Ian is a writer and the marketing manager at Endeavor, a digital ministry. He shares thoughtfully about reconstructing faith in his newsletter Back Again and is the author of Walking Through Deconstruction: How to Be a Companion in a Crisis of Faith.

Join us as Ian and our ministry team dive into the topic of deconstruction—what it is, why it matters, and how the church can faithfully walk alongside those navigating a crisis of faith in their own lives.

Pastor Matt looks at the biblical theology unfolding in Genesis 39 as we begin to see Joseph's life take shape. He also draws out the connection between drawing near to the Lord when facing abundance—a theme we see in Joseph's life and even in the Garden of Eden. Listen as Pastor Matt unpacks this biblical theme.

Join us this week as we revist a special Talks on the Road episode as we welcome three incredible guests: Derick Bledsoe, Senior Pastor at City on the Hill in Fort Worth, TX, Winston Hottman, Associate Pastor at Lake Highlands Baptist Church in Dallas, TX, and Caleb Fleming, Senior Pastor at Fairview Baptist Church in Sherman, TX. Together, they dive into a thought-provoking discussion with Pastor Matt on why the 1800s may have been the worst century in Christian history. You won't want to miss this eye-opening chat packed with great insights and historical discussion.

Sunday's sermon covered Genesis 37 and 38. In this week's Unsaid on Sunday, Pastor Matt explains why these two chapters must be read side by side. Though they may seem like two very different passages, they work together to show us how God is sovereignly at work in both suffering and sin. Listen today as Pastor Matt unpacks how these chapters go hand in hand.

Join us as we revisit one of your favorite episodes over the past seasons. What is the difference between "Revival" and "Revivalism?" Where do we see revival in scripture? We talk about how important it is that following Christ is far more than a hightened spiritual event and the importance of discipleship in the life of the believer, especially within the local church.
