This week Pastor Matt, Pastor Joe, and our Preschool Director Candace continue the conversation about how the church can care for one another through the struggles we face in this life. The goal is to give believers a starting place—to lovingly point each other to Christ in the midst of difficulty and, when needed, guide one another toward biblical counseling. Today's discussion focuses on addiction and enslaving sins. Join us as we consider how the gospel meets us in our deepest struggles and leads us toward true freedom in Christ.

Pastor Matt walked us through Genesis 18 & 19 this Sunday, exploring the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. In the text, we see the Lord's patience—how He allows the wicked to remain for a time so that His righteous ones might be saved. We're also reminded that Jesus Christ, born of an impossible birth, is the righteous Judge of all the earth. In His mercy, He takes hold of our hand and leads us out of a life headed for destruction.

Today on Talks on the Road, Matt, Candace, and Joe discuss the difficult and weighty topics of suicide and self-harm. Scripture does not ignore these realities, but speaks to them with honesty and hope. Listen as they reflect on how our loving God draws near to those who are hurting, why lament is a faithful response to suffering, and how true hope is ultimately found in turning back to the Lord.

Pastor Matt preached from Genesis 17 and 18 this past Sunday, exploring God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations. There was even more to unpack about what that promise means—not only for Abraham, but for us today. Listen now to hear how these chapters shape our understanding of God's covenant..

Pastor Matt, Candace, and Pastor Joe discuss topics many of us encounter but may not personally understand. This week's conversation centers on pregnancy loss and infertility—experiences that are deeply personal and often carried quietly. Join us as we approach this subject with humility and compassion, reminding ourselves of the grace we are called to extend to one another.

This past Sunday, Pastor Matt brought us to Genesis 16 in our ongoing study through the book of Genesis. We slowed down in this episode to consider Hagar—where she's from and why her background matters. We also looked at the Angel of the Lord and the weighty reality that this is no mere angel, but a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ Himself. And we wrestled with what it means for Ishmael to be called the "father of many nations," seeing how even here God is sovereignly working out His purposes according to His promises.

What is the difference between depression and sadness? Both are very real burdens we carry. Join Pastor Matt, Pastor Joe, and Candace as they explore how these struggles intersect and how we can walk through them with spiritual hope and practical support.

Do you ever feel nervous walking into a room… worried about what others might think or whether you'll be accepted? Social anxiety often grows from the fear of rejection—whether anticipated or already experienced. Join Pastor Matt, Candace, and Pastor Joe as they talk honestly about this common struggle and offer biblical wisdom, encouragement, hope in fearing God, and having confidence in Christ.

This week we landed in Genesis 13–14 as Abram and Lot return from Egypt and settle in the land. Listen to Pastor Matt as he expounds on the things he didn't get to cover during the Sunday sermon.

Today we're diving into the topic of worry, fear, and anxiety. This episode is part of a series focused on the everyday conversations our ministers regularly have with people in our church. What does it look like to have a right and holy fear of the Lord, and how is that different from sinful worry? Join us as we talk it through together.
