What does it actually mean when we say, “God is love”?This week on the Student Life Podcast, Wyatt, Jadon, Genevieve, and Mikayla take over, while Kyle and Kelly are away, and recap Wednesday night’s message with Josh Thomas.Josh uses the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to help us see what God’s love actually looks like. It’s more than a feeling, more than being nice, and more than simply getting what we want. God’s love pursues, welcomes, forgives, restores, and celebrates.The conversation explores what the Father’s response to the prodigal son teaches us about the heart of God and what that means for students and parents today.God doesn’t just love.

Is God still good when life isn’t?

It’s easy to believe God is good when everything is goingour way. But what happens when we’re hurting, confused, disappointed, or walking through something we didn’t choose?

In this episode, we talk about why we so often allow ourcircumstances to determine how we view God and why Scripture tells us to do the opposite.

The Bible doesn’t say God is good only when life is good.It says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” He is good in the middle of trouble, in seasons we understand, and even in seasons we don’t.

God is good, not because everything that happens is good,but because God Himself is good.

God is good. All the time.

God Is… Sovereign

What does it really mean that God is sovereign?

In this episode of The Student Life Podcast, we talk about the truth that God is completely in control, His authority is unmatched, His power is unlimited, and His purposes cannot be defeated.

But God’s sovereignty doesn’t mean He is distant or uncaring. We’ll look at how Scripture shows us a God who is just, loving,trustworthy, and able to redeem what happens in a broken world.

If God is truly sovereign, what does that mean for the waywe trust Him, follow Him, and respond when life doesn’t go the way we planned?

📖 Daniel 4:34–37
📖 Psalm115:3

Upside Down Living

What if following Jesus means living completely opposite of the way the world tells us to live?

In this episode of The Student Life Podcast, Kyletalks about what it looks like to love like Jesus—loving those who may not love us back, blessing those who curse us, and choosing hospitality and generosity even when it costs us something.

Jesus calls us to an upside-down way of living: bless instead of curse, love instead of retaliate, welcome instead of exclude.

Kyle is flying solo for this episode as Kelly takes sometime to focus on things at home.

What if your identity isn’t something you have tocreate, but something you discover from the One who created you?

In this episode of the Student Life Podcast, Kyle and Kelly dive into “God Is… Creator” and what that means for the way we see ourselves, our purpose, and our identity.

God didn’t create you by accident. You were intentionallymade by Him, in His image, and for Him.

Genesis 1 • John 1 • Colossians 1 • 2 Corinthians 5

You don’t have to create your identity. You were created byGod on purpose.

Subscribe and follow along as we continue discovering whoGod is and how knowing Him changes everything.

What does it really mean that God is holy?

In this episode of The Student Life Podcast, Kyleand Kelly sit down with Wyatt and Pastor Ron Martens to recap this week’s message on the holiness of God.

We talk about why God, not other people, is the standard ofholiness, why we so often try to “scrub ourselves clean,” and how Jesus completely changes the direction of holiness. From Isaiah’s vision in Isaiah 6 to Jesus touching the leper, from the woman reaching for Jesus to the templecurtain being torn, we see an incredible picture of the gospel:

We don’t make ourselves clean enough to approach God. Jesus makes a way for us to draw near.

We also talk about what this means for students, parents,and anyone who feels ashamed, stuck, or far from God.

God is holy. The curtain is torn. The way is open. Run toHim.

This week we’re kicking off our brand new “God Is…”series by asking one of the most important questions we’ll ever answer:

Who is God?

Before we can understand who we are, we have to know whoGod is. In a culture that constantly tells us to “find yourself,” Scripturebegins somewhere completely different:

“In the beginning, God…”

In this episode, we recap Wednesday night’s message from Isaiah6, discuss why our view of God shapes every area of our lives, and offerpractical ways students and parents can continue the conversation at homethroughout the week.

In this episode:

-Why knowing God character change everything?

-Isaiah's encounter with God's holiness (Isaiah 6)

-Why worship begins with seeing God Clearing

-Practical application for students

-Conversation starters for parents and family

Family Challenge:
At dinner this week, ask everyone:
“What did you learn about God this week,and how should that change the way we live tomorrow?”

What makes a teenager come to their parents with thehardest questions instead of hiding them? It isn’t perfect parenting...it’s a home built on trust.

From your reactions to difficult moments, to making everyday conversations count,you’ll discover practical, biblical ways to become the kind of parent your child can trust.

The goal isn’t to raise kids who never struggle. It’s toraise kids who know exactly where to turn when they do.

Whether your child is in elementary school or getting readyto leave for college, it’s never too early, or too late, to begin building a home where honest conversations flourish.

What has your heart? In this episode of the Student Life Podcast, we continue our Condition of the Heart series by looking at the things that often compete for a boy’s attention video games, cell phones, sports, and more. Are these things bad? Not necessarily. But they can easily become idols if we’re not careful.

Wyatt and Mikayla, both Student Life graduates, join us to share their perspective on sports, competition, and keeping Christ at the center of life. Together, we talk about priorities, identity, and how to enjoy God’s gifts without letting them take God’s place.

Whether you’re a student, parent, or leader, this conversation will challenge you to examine what truly has your heart.
