When the love of truth outweighs our love of people, we’ve missed the mark. In part three of our series on Biblical Sexuality, we talk through how to speak truth in love, what makes conversations around the topic hard on both sides and how the church has historically gotten it wrong when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community.

Books and podcasts mentioned in today's episode are: Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was and Who God Has Always Been by Jackie Hill Perry and Theology In The Raw, episode 920 by Preston Sprinkle. 

Today’s episode is part two of our Biblical Sexuality series where we talk all things identity. What is it, who determines it,  how does sexuality play into it and what does the Bible say about it? Join Pastors Mike Cirricione, Brad Bell and Denny Burk as they push back against the idea that identity can determined outside of Christ.

Books mentioned in today’s episode are: The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: an English professor’s journey into Christian Faith and The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World both by Rosaria Butterfield.

Today’s episode is the first of a multi-part series based around the topic of Biblical sexuality. Society has much to say on the matter, but what does the Bible say? Join pastors Mike Cirricione, Brad Bell and Denny Burk as they talk through what Biblical Sexuality is, what it isn’t and why as Christians we have a responsibility to engage in the conversation.

What happens when you don’t get the invite and you’re left thinking, “What about me?” On today’s episode, we’re talking with Ka’eo Yoshikawa and Brynn McIlhatton of the Well StudentCast about what drives our fear of missing out and whether or not we have an accurate picture of who our hope is in.

Books mentioned is today's episode are: Live No Lies: Recognize and Resist The Three Enemies That Sabotage Your Peace by John Mark Comer. 

Oftentimes, fear of failure is driven by comparison and striving for perfection. On the first ever WellCast x Well StudentCast crossover, join Mike Cirricione, Ka'eo Yoshikawa, and Brynn McIlhatton as they look at what drives this fear and how to approach fear of failure with scripture.

The Bible tells us that in all the things, God works for the good of those who love him, but in times of pain and suffering, nothing can feel further from the truth. So how then do we cling to the promises of God when the unthinkable happens? Where is our hope in the midst of tragedy? Join pastors Mike and Jordan as they share intense periods of grief in their own lives and how the goodness of God never failed even in their darkest hour.

Have you ever walked into a church and wondered if they were speaking a different language? Or maybe you’ve heard phrases from the stage you thought meant one thing, but actually mean another. In today’s episode, Jordan and Mike break down a few of the more common Christian sayings, their definitions and why we should or shouldn’t, be using them.

From the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere to pastoring a growing congregation, the sovereignty of God is on full display in Joe Buitrago’s life. In this episode, Joe shares how God touched his heart at age seven, his journey to the United States and his deep love for Christ and the Spanish speaking community he faithfully serves.

The next generation is not just the church of tomorrow, they are the church of today. They are a group of people longing for authentic connection who are left wanting by the empty promises of social media and cancel culture, primed to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. So how does the church, or even the individual, reach the younger population when the generational divide feels wider than ever? Join us as we talk with Matt Berg., Director of Young Adults, as we answer this question and more.

Blevins, “The Power of Place: Choosing Stability in a Restless Age” by Daniel Grothe.

Questions matter. The way we ask them, the lens we ask them through, and the people we process them with. When we talk about ethnic unity, one of the first questions we should ask is, “What does the Bible say about this?” To process this question and more, The Well took a small team to Jackson, Mississippi where they had the opportunity to learn under John Perkins, founder of the Perkins Institute. Join Mike, Jordan and guest, Mallory Mueller as they process what God is doing in their lives as a result of this impactful trip.
