Not everyone should have the same level of influence in your life. In the first listener-question episode of The Renovation, we’re asking how to choose Christian friends without becoming judgmental, exclusive, or unrealistic. We’ll look at what Scripture says about the people closest to us, why the direction of a friendship matters more than perfection, and how to find people who will help you keep moving toward Jesus. You should love everyone, but you also need to choose your inner circle wisely.

What if you’re not bad at connecting with God, you just haven’t discovered all the ways you can connect with Him yet? In this episode, we’re climbing into the attic: the place where we collect and store the things worth keeping. We’ll look at the different ways people throughout Scripture encountered God and talk about building your own collection of practices, rhythms, and habits that help you know Him. Your relationship with God doesn’t have to look exactly like someone else’s. Explore. Experiment. Try something new. And have some fun getting to know your Creator.

Who are you when nobody else is watching? In this episode, we’re heading upstairs into the bedrooms and private spaces of our living house, the places where there’s no audience, no performance, and usually just us and the glow of a screen. We’ll talk about what our alone time is actually doing to us, why constantly chasing comfort can leave us emptier than we expected, and why a life with Jesus needs a quiet place where we can simply be with Him. Because before the noise of the world tells you who to be, you need space to hear from the One who made you.

Who’s cooking up your opinions? In this episode, we’re heading into the kitchen, the place where ingredients get mixed, tested, and turned into something you actually consume. Every day, we’re handed headlines, hot takes, controversial opinions, and endless voices telling us what to think. But following Jesus means learning to slow down, think critically, and pay attention to what’s shaping our minds. We may not solve the world’s biggest issues in 15 minutes, but we can learn how to approach them with more wisdom, truth, and Jesus.

Who have you actually let into your life? In this episode, we’re stepping into the living room, the part of the house built for shared experiences, relationships, and community. Our culture has convinced us that faith is personal and following Jesus is something we can do mostly on our own, but we were never designed to live that way. We’ll talk about why letting God renovate your life also means letting other people in, and why sometimes saying yes to God starts with saying yes to community.

What is your life actually built on? In this episode, we’re heading into the basement, the foundation underneath everything else in the house. We’re talking about worldview, the big questions that shape how you see God, yourself, truth, and the world around you, and why it’s worth examining whether what you believe is actually yours or something you’ve simply inherited. You don’t have to have every answer figured out. But if we’re serious about letting God renovate our lives, we can’t be afraid to let Him into the foundation.

Before God transforms the rest of your life, He has to be welcomed in. In this episode, we’re stepping onto the front porch, the place where every renovation begins. We’ll talk about what it really means to call Jesus “Lord,” why so many of us keep Him at arm’s length, and how genuine life change starts the moment we stop standing at the door and invite Him into every part of our lives.

Before any renovation begins, you have to know why it matters. In this short introduction, you’ll hear the heart behind The Renovation, what to expect from the podcast, and why following Jesus is less about self-improvement and more about letting God rebuild your life from the inside out.
