For many of us, the Gospel we were handed sounds like this:

“You’re a sinner. God is holy and angry. Jesus takes your punishment. If you believe the right things, you get to go to heaven when you die.”

That sounds familiar.
But here’s the real question:
Is that the Gospel the early church preached?

Because the Gospel didn’t begin in the 1500s with Martin Luther.
It didn’t begin with penal substitution.
It didn’t begin with the Sinner’s Prayer or the altar call.

The Gospel began with Christ — and the early church preached something far more cosmic, relational, and restorative than many of us have heard.

Let’s recover it together.

How do we live with hope when the headlines scream death, violence, assassination, and cancel culture? 🤯

This message dives into the tension we all feel: the chaos of the world vs. the confidence of the gospel. We’ll explore why the good news of Jesus still outshines every outrage, every culture war, and every “urgent” debate—and why keeping Christ at the center is the most radical thing we can do.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered how to process current events without losing your faith, your peace, or your voice, this one is for you.

Most of us were taught to live for God — striving, performing, trying to please a distant deity. But what if the gospel invites us to live from God — from within the eternal dance of Father, Son, and Spirit?

In this episode, we explore what it means to live from the divine communion that already includes us. The Trinity isn’t a doctrine to memorize; it’s the atmosphere of our existence. This is where prayer becomes participation, work becomes worship, and love becomes the rhythm of our being.

We’ll talk about union, belonging, and the daily practice of divine flow — not as something we chase, but something we awaken to.
You’re not trying to get into God. You’re already home.

👉 Listen now and discover how living from Trinity transforms the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you.

Let’s be honest — even if we believe we’re in Christ, sometimes we still fear we can fall out.

So today’s episode is your reminder — and maybe even your permission slip — to rest in this:
Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Let’s dive into the heart of that good news.

This episode picks up where the last two left off.

• In Episode 146, we said: Union is the starting line — you don’t begin separated from God.

• In Episode 147, we said: Christ is in you — not as a metaphor, but as your lived reality.

So today we ask the next question:
If that’s true… how do we grow? How do we change?

Here’s the answer: You don’t grow into union — you grow in awareness of it. You’re not becoming someone new — you’re becoming who you already are.

Let’s unpack that together.

Uf you joined us last episode — Union Is the Starting Line — we unpacked the radical truth that you don’t start separate from God and work your way into closeness. You start in union.

Today we take that one step deeper.

Because union isn’t just about proximity — it’s about  indwelling. Paul didn’t just say, “You are in Christ.”
He also said, “Christ is in you.”

And that isn’t poetic language. It’s a spiritual revolution.

Let’s talk about what it really means.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing God, working your way toward Him, or struggling to earn your place in His presence — this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth:
You’re not running toward union. You’re running from it, or waking up to it. But you never lost it.

We often think of the Incarnation as something that happened once—a singular, miraculous moment 2,000 years ago. God put on flesh, walked among us, died, rose, ascended... and now, He’s “somewhere else” until further notice.

But what if the Incarnation wasn’t meant to be an exception…
…but the unveiling of what’s always been true?

What if God didn’t just become human once—
but revealed through Jesus that the divine has always been committed to embodiment?

That’s what we’re talking about today.
