BONUS EP. 2: What Do You Do When God Says No?

You asked, we answered. Montie, Jake and Bryan tackle three questions submitted by listeners - why God says no to good and godly desires, whether healing can spread the way sin does, and what prayer actually does. No easy answers, no tidy conclusions.

🚀 Ep. 25: God Was Already There: Reflections on a Season On the Move

🗒️ Season two is a wrap - and Bryan closes it out with something personal. From the gym to a stand-up comedy class, he reflects on what it actually looked like to live out everything this season was about. God was already at work in every space he walked into. The invitation heading into summer is the same: go into your world with eyes wide open and participate with what He's already doing

Ep. 24: Go: How Serving, Inviting & Sharing Actually Form You

🗒️ Most people think spiritual formation is something that happens to you quietly - in prayer, in Scripture, in silence. But Montie, Jake and Bryan make the case that going out into the world is just as formative as going inward. In this final formation episode they walk through three outward practices - serving, inviting and sharing - and show why the act of going changes you as much as anyone you're going to. Plus a teaser for the Summer of Formation reading plan dropping June 7th.

Ep. 23: Silence, Fasting & Sabbath: The Practices That Form You by Giving Things Up

🗒️ What if the most formative spiritual practices aren't about doing more - but giving things up? Montie, Jake and Brian walk through three relinquishing practices: silence, fasting and Sabbath. They share honest personal stories, practical ways to engage, and why giving up time, food and words might be exactly what your soul needs this summer.

🚀 Ep. 22: Becoming, Not Just Knowing: An Introduction to Spiritual Formation

🗒️ There's a difference between knowing about your faith and actually being formed by it. In this episode Montie, Jake, and Bryan are back together to introduce the Summer of Formation - a new reading plan built around four spiritual practices: prayer, Scripture, relinquishing, and outreach. They start with formation itself, what it actually means, and why information alone will never be enough to change you.

Ep. 21: Let's Actually Do It: Reading Ephesians 2 Together

🗒️ We've talked a lot about how to read the Bible - this week Montie and Jake actually do it. Taking Ephesians 2 as their text, they walk through three questions that can unlock any passage of Scripture: What does this teach us about God? About humanity? And how does it fit the bigger story? It's a front-row seat to what Bible engagement can look like, and it's a great one to sit with in the week after Easter.

🚀 Ep. 20: Wrestling With the Hard Parts: How to Engage Difficult Bible Passages

🗒️ Every honest Bible reader hits a passage that stops them cold. In this episode, Montie and Jake walk through the most common ways we respond to hard texts - avoiding them, dismissing them, trying to conquer them - and offer a better way forward. Rooted in the story of Jacob wrestling with God, this conversation is an invitation to cling longer than you argue.

🚀 Ep. 19: Lost in Translation: Why Genre Changes Everything When You Read the Bible🗒️ What if the reason parts of the Bible feel confusing isn't you - it's that no one told you what kind of writing you were reading? Jake and Montie walk through the different genres of Scripture - gospels, parables, epistles, apocalyptic literature - and show how knowing the genre unlocks the meaning. From Animal Farm to the Babylon Bee to the book of Revelation, this one will change how you open your Bible.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or Amazon Music: linktr.ee/mbc_storytellers
