"Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. . . .So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26a & 1:27. 

Gender is a charged topic in culture today. No cap. From gender dysphoria to pride month, how do we as Christian interact and engage in this conversation posed by surrounding culture. Today, we're continuing the conversation on gender, by setting the framework of how the Bible trains us to interact with unbelievers and believers alike on the topic of gender.

Why did God create two seemingly opposing gender? Today, we're delving into a brand new topic on gender, how it started, and where controversy may enter the chat. We take a look at how male and female gender—in all its diversity—reflects the immense beauty of God and how we can embrace the differences that glorify God's design.

Worship's not just three songs during the Sunday-morning service, but a lifestyle and an invitation to experience the presence of God. In today's last installment of our Sabbath series, we are dissecting how Sabbath culminates in a heart of devoted worship.

Last week we discussed how Sabbath is more than just collapsing onto the couch in utter exhaustion. And it's more than outdated rules that demand what you can and can't do confined to a 24 hr cycle. Today, we're continuing our conversation on Sabbath by discussing how Sabbath embodies sheer delight which ultimately points back to our joy in Jesus.

As we've discussed, Sabbath isn't merely an outdated legalistic ritual, littered with archaic rules. Today, we're continuing to expand the conversation on Sabbath by delving into how we can step into the invitation that God offers for us to rest and reset.

Perhaps, one of the most detrimental sins that can subtly sneak into a Christian's life is self-righteousness. In today's episode, we take an honest look at what self-righteousness looks like and how we can actively combat it to become more fully surrender to Christ.
