In Defense of Hope

Nov 03 2024 35 mins  
It's a big week, y'all. And whether this Tuesday has you biting your nails, planning a victory party, or throwing your hands up in despair, we see you. But the hope we have in God - and God's people - is firmer than any promise we can receive from earthly power brokers. Let's ground ourselves in the hope of the Gospel and prepare our hearts for whatever comes next.

To Be A Blessing

Oct 27 2024 31 mins  
The gifts God gives to us are meant for the benefit of all, and we are blessed when others are blessed. In a world of competition and scarcity, it feels counterintuitive - but in God's Kingdom, no one is free until we're all free.

This I Promise You

Oct 20 2024 36 mins  
God makes some big promises: life abundant, resurrection, liberation... when it's hard to believe in big promises, sometimes we try and make it on our own - to our detriment. Can we lose God's promise or will God find a way regardless?

Found in Translation

Oct 13 2024 29 mins  
It can be so hard to reach understanding among people with different identities, perspectives, languages and cultures. But what if that’s part of God’s design? Difference is a gift, and it can bring us closer to holiness - if we learn to trust each other and God.

It All Falls Down

Oct 06 2024 26 mins  
Just a few short chapters after the creation story, The Flood comes crashing down to wipe away most of humanity. How do we make sense of this? Did God really just etch-a-sketch creation?

Life Begins with Murder

Sep 29 2024 34 mins  
So the first big plot point after humanity's expulsion from the garden is... fratricide. This story is coming in hot with drama, but what does it say about the nature of people? Are we doomed to be violent from the start?

The Day Everything Fell Apart

Sep 22 2024 39 mins  
We think we know the story of The Fall, right? Adam, Eve, Snake, Apple, Bummer Town. But how many different ways are there to interpret this story?

A Tale of Two Creations

Sep 15 2024 28 mins  
The Bible starts out with one creation story (in the beginning...) and then the next chapter, we etch-a-sketch and start again. A new creation story, with a different order of events, characters, and vibes. What gives? And how do we trust the Bible when it can't agree with itself from page one?

In the Beginning...

Sep 08 2024 29 mins  
Every great story starts with a great first line. But after that, Genesis can get a little... complicated. Buckle in as we spend some time in the first book of the Bible, making sense of the stories we tell about who we are, who God is, and why we'll be okay - even when things get messy.

Unsatisfied: Boldly Following Jesus When Growth Takes Work

Sep 01 2024 37 mins  
Should my faith be simple and easy? The support that comforts me during difficult times? Turns out that a relationship with God is just like other relationships. It can be a source of comfort, strength, joy, and connection - but it takes work to build all of that, and you get out what you put in.
