What makes a father’s presence so powerful? In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we look at Hebrews 12:5–11 and discover how God parents us—and how fathers can model the same love, protection, and wisdom in their own homes. Whether through welcoming arms, strong hands of protection, or wise training, this episode reminds us that the ultimate goal of parenting isn’t to make life easier for our kids, but to help them look more like Jesus over a lifetime.

In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we dive into our new series on Family Matters, beginning with Deuteronomy 6 and the Shema. We talk about why the family unit matters in Scripture, what it looks like to “choose God every day,” and how syncing our families with the family of God shapes our lives for the long haul. From meaningful conversations with our kids to keeping God’s Word at the center of our homes, we explore practical ways to live out faith together.

Church isn’t just a place we attend—it’s a family we belong to. In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we explore what it means to live as God’s children, practicing rhythms of teaching, fellowship, and prayer together. When we treat church like family, we discover the beauty of shared lives, unity, and a faith that’s lived out, not just talked about.

What if church felt less like an event you attend and more like a family you belong to? In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we unpack the power of serving—not just as a task, but as a way to bond with the family of God. Serving isn’t about position or recognition; it’s a mindset rooted in Jesus’ words: “The first will be last, and the last shall be first.” From the beginning, God created us to reflect His image, and when we serve, we join Him in what He is already doing. Discover how serving builds relationships, deepens connection, and shifts church from the place I go to the family I belong to.

Home isn’t just a place—it’s a people. In this episode, we unpack Ephesians 2:18-19, how the church becomes a family when we choose to belong, connect, and serve together. Through Christ, we’re no longer strangers or outsiders—we’re members of God’s household. Whether you’re walking in for the first time or have been here for years, this conversation will help you see that home isn’t just where you live—it’s where you’re fully known and deeply connected.

In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we wrap up our journey through the Gospel of Mark by tackling what Jesus meant when He said the Kingdom of God is “here,” to the difference between its inauguration and consummation, to the reality of spiritual warfare today—we unpack the truths that shape our faith. We explore the Rich Young Man’s encounter with Jesus, the Last Supper’s covenant-shaking meaning, the resurrection perspective that changes how we face life and death, and God’s sweeping plan for redemption that leads to the New Heaven and New Earth. If you’ve ever wondered how the Gospel of Mark connects to the big picture of God’s Kingdom and your everyday life, this conversation will help you see it.

In John 2, Jesus doesn’t quietly correct — He flips tables. In this episode, we explore how Jesus confronts the religious system of His day and reorders the priorities of His church. He calls us to prioritize people over programs, relationships over rituals, and passionate worship over passive observance. What does it look like when Jesus flips the tables in our hearts and communities?

In this episode, we dive into what true mercy looks like, why judgmentalism falls short of God’s call, and how spiritually mature Christians can evaluate with grace, not condemnation. Join Chad, Jim and Matt as they talk about mercy from God, mercy from people, and how we grow into both.

Church hurt is real—but so is healing. In this episode, we dive into Ephesians 5:25–32 to uncover how Jesus treats His Bride—the Church—and what that means for us. If we truly love Christ, we’re called to love, support, and commit to His Church, even when it’s hard. Discover how your relationship with Jesus is reflected in how you treat His people. Join Jim, Chad, and Matt as we look at moving from hurt to healing.

What if following Jesus means unlearning some of the things you picked up in church? In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we walk through Luke 7:36–50 and watch Jesus confront two kinds of sin, redefine forgiveness, and flip faithfulness on its head. Whether you’ve been wounded by church culture or burdened by religious pressure, Jesus offers something better: grace, freedom, and love. Join Chad, Jim, and Matt as they unpack unlearning shame and self-righteousness—and to learn Jesus.
