Thanksgiving is here, and we decided to sit down for a special episode full of fun facts, memories, and stories from the holiday. It’s an easygoing, heartwarming conversation that we hope adds a little joy to your week. Come hang out with us!

In this episode, we dive into the commandment “Do not bear false witness” - but not just in the surface-level “don’t tell lies” way most of us think about.

We talk about the real-life nuances of truth-telling:

• What counts as a lie?
• Is it wrong to “protect someone’s feelings”?
• How do we honor God with our words without being harsh?
• Where’s the line between sharing information and gossip?
• And what does it actually look like to be people of integrity in daily conversations?

From everyday white lies to the temptation to exaggerate, shade the truth, or share stories that aren’t ours to tell - we unpack why God cares so deeply about honesty and how this commandment shapes our relationships, community, and spiritual maturity.

Whether you’re wrestling with people-pleasing, fear of confrontation, or just wanting to grow in Christlike character, this episode will challenge you to rethink the way you speak - and the heart behind your words.

Tune in and join the conversation. Let’s learn what it really means to live out the truth.

This week on UG: Between Sundays, we’re combining two of the Ten Commandments - “Do not commit adultery” and “Do not steal.” We talk about what it means to guard our thought lives, why contentment matters, and how even small choices - like taking something that isn’t ours - can reveal what’s going on in our hearts.

It’s a real and practical conversation about integrity, temptation, and finding true satisfaction in Christ. Tune in and join the discussion! 🎙️

“Christian nationalism” - it’s one of those terms that sparks strong reactions, but what does it actually mean? In this episode of UG: Between Sundays, we unpack why this topic is so charged, why so many people define it differently, and how followers of Jesus can approach the conversation with grace and clarity.

We’ll explore: The different ways people use the term “Christian nationalism”

Why the conversation often turns divisive How believers can engage thoughtfully and biblically - without losing sight of the gospel

Whether you’ve been curious, cautious, or confused by the debate, this episode is for you.

This week on Between Sundays, we’re unpacking the sixth commandment: “Don't Murder.”

We dive into what it really means to be made in God’s image, how that truth shapes the way we see others - and ourselves - and whether believers should watch movies that glorify violence. We also take time to talk about those struggling with thoughts of self-harm and how the hope of Christ speaks into that pain.

Join us for a real and compassionate conversation about the value of life, the heart behind the command, and how it all points back to the character of God.

This week on UG: Between Sundays, we’re diving deeper into the fifth commandment — “Honor your father and mother.” What does that really look like in today’s world? Does obedience to parents end when you turn 18, move out, or does it last a lifetime?

We also talk about parenting from the heart — how to discipline kids in a way that shapes their character, not just their behavior. Join us as we unpack what honoring and obeying our parents looks like at every stage of life, and how parents can lead in love rather than fear.

Tune in for practical conversation that helps take Sunday’s message to everyday life.

In this episode of the UG: Between Sundays podcast, we dive into the 4th Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath." We begin by asking an important question: if we are no longer under the law, why do the Ten Commandments still matter? Together, we explore how the moral law continues to shape the life of a believer and why God’s commands remain relevant today.

From there, we focus on the Sabbath itself - what it means, why it was given, and how it points us toward the rest we ultimately find in Christ. We also discuss practical ways to honor the Sabbath in today’s busy culture, learning to slow down, re-center our lives on God, and live out His rhythm of work and rest.

If you’ve ever wondered how the Ten Commandments fit into the Christian life or what Sabbath-keeping looks like in a modern world, this conversation is for you.

In this week’s episode of UG: Between Sundays, David and Josh are joined by David Ivarson to continue the conversation from Sunday’s message, “Don’t Shame God’s Name” (Exodus 20:7).

We take your submitted questions head-on - including the big one this week: “What about Christian curse words?” Together we explore how our words, tone, and even the way we substitute phrases can either honor or dishonor God’s name.

🎙 Hosts: David Jayne & Pastor Josh Evans

🎙 Guest: David Ivarson

📖 Based on Exodus 20:7

If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to take the Lord’s name in vain - and how that plays out in everyday life - this episode is for you.
