In this episode we contrast how the author of Hebrews 12:1-2 instruct us to run the race of faith and life by fixing our eyes on Jesus with the ways that Saul, the first king of Israel, got distracted by focusing on David's success. We ask, what is my life's mission? What is the difference between passion and purpose? Lastly, are we accomplishing our mission as a christian community?

In this episode, we look at how God's response to Habakkuk was probably not what he expected. Habakkuk realized that since he wasn't seeing the big picture, he needed to stop and listen by intentionally positioning himself to hear from God.

In this raw and authentic episode, John and Jessa Crisp share about their dating experience.

What if the universe is godless? Nitzche illustrates this inquiry in his Parable of the Madman and raises some really important issues.
