The topic of money in church evokes various reactions from those both in and outside of the church. It's important for us to know why God asks us to give part of what we make through our work and to understand what healthy giving looks like.

Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS Host Will Herron as they explore the why and what of financial giving on this week's BTS episode.

What is the meaning and purpose of the Sabbath? Why is rest important, where does it fit in our working world, and why does God want it for us? In short, something happens when we obey — something valuable comes from taking time for measured rest.

Perhaps the greatest conversion story in the Bible is found in the life of Saul of Tarsus. Few have experienced such a pendulum swing in their lives — going from seeking to eradicate the church to becoming a prominent leader in the early church movement. So, what was behind this stunning 180? How can we experience that kind of transformation in our own personal battles? 

Join Ridge Director of Strategic Planning and Communication Dayne Logan and BTS Host Will Herron as they explore the path to and the impact of Holy Spirit transformation in our lives. 

On the road to Damascus, Saul saw something he couldn't ignore, something that convicted him to his core and forever changed him. We'll look at what happened, Saul's response, and what implications it has for us as followers of Jesus today. Message by Dayne LoganScripture referenced: Acts 9

When we think of the word greatness, famous athletes or music artists may come to mind. But what does the Bible have to say about greatness? What does it mean to be great in the kingdom of God?

Join Ridge Youth Director Todd Stiles and BTS Host Will Herron as they explore how the Bible defines greatness and how that changes how we live in every area of our lives.

To the world, greatness is synonymous with platform, position, or a spiritual résumé. But Jesus offers a radically different definition. And it's one that flips the world's idea of greatness upside down. Message by Todd StilesScripture referenced: Matthew 20:20–28

Sometimes work is hard, challenging and frustrating. Sometimes we feel stressed, pushed and pulled in our work. How can we go about dealing with this? How might God be working in the midst of it?

Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS Host Will Herron as they continue looking at work from a Biblical perspective on this week's BTS episode.

If work is designed by God and part of His original plan, and if it is supposed to be a blessing, what do we do when it's the opposite of that? What do we do when work is grueling — when it feels like a struggle? Well, there just might be something more to being uncomfortable than being uncomfortable. Message by Mike Van Rees Scripture referenced: Isaiah 20:1–6

When it comes to finding purpose in work, many people might respond by saying, "It pays the bills" or "It gives me a sense of fulfillment". But what does the Bible have to say about God's purpose for work?

Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS Host Will Herron as they explore this question and more on this weeks BTS episode.

Is work is something other than merely a means to an end? According to the Bible, yes! The purpose of work is something much more than this. In fact, when we understand the Biblical teaching of work and calling, we recognize work is much more than making money. Message by Mike Van Rees Scripture referenced: Exodus 3:10; Jeremiah 1:4–5; Matthew 22:37–39; Acts 9:3–5, 18:2b–3; 1 Corinthians 10:31
