Taking Your Next Step In Following Jesus Christ

In this episode, God begins to reveal just how He is or what He is like. He proclaims His name and His heart: merciful, gracious, and long‑suffering. 

Listen as we unpack what it means to carry God’s name well, why the law can be an act of compassion, and how divine patience reshapes our idea of justice. This is a powerful account of shattered tablets, gracious restoration, and a faithful God who loves us into fresh starts—an invitation to reflect, repent, and be changed.

On this episode, we follow real people crushed by fear, guilt and sorrow. Specifically, we trace Elijah’s fall from triumph on the mountain to a desolate juniper tree where he begged God to take his life. We experience the raw emotions of panic from a single message, the slow slide into isolation, the numbing pull of comparison and defeat.

Then the account take a turn! Angels bring food, a still small voice breaks through the noise, and God invites Elijah back into purpose. This is more than ancient history—it’s a conversational, urgent call to hear God amid anxiety, to refuse secrecy, to step out of isolation and into community. Listen is to be reminded that you are not alone, you are never too far gone, and there is hope waiting in the next step toward God.

In this episode we follow the progression of Scripture as God starts with the title "God" and moves to a description of this title with "God Almighty." Next, He reveals what His name actually is, "I AM THAT I AM" which is translated as Jehovah or Yahweh. Uncovering God's name reveals the personal relationship He desires with us. He wants to know and to be known.

Our culture is filled with busyness and noise. On today's episode, we talk about how to step out of the relentless noise and into a scriptural truth about how a simple pause can change everything. 

We will draw on Psalm 46, Elijah’s mountaintop encounter, and Jesus’ steady rhythm of retreat and return. We trace the journey from frantic busyness to restful presence, showing how solitude becomes the place where God is known experientially, where the still, small voice of God can be heard, and where your mission is renewed.

Tune in to learn how to silence the noise, practice the spiritual pause, and discover the life-changing power of being still and knowing God.

On today's episode, we lay out five practical, gospel-rooted steps to forgive: pray, forgive inwardly, don't avoid them, pursue reconciliation + restitution, and do everything in love. 

If you’re tired of struggling to forgive or carrying the weight of unforgiveness listen in. This episode invites you to take the next step toward healing and to practice forgiveness that transforms relationships and restores hope.

In today's episode, we step into a story that refuses to leave you unchanged: a king, an impossible debt, and a servant who learns — the hard way — what it means to be forgiven. Against the backdrop of a world quick to cancel and slow to heal, this episode peels back the layers of anger, justice, and the radical mercy Jesus calls us to.

We trace how the cross meets justice, why true forgiveness costs us something, and how withholding mercy builds prisons of our own making.

Listen as scripture turns into a mirror and a map: a mirror to reveal where unforgiveness has taken root in your life, and a map forward toward restoration, freedom, and the costly grace that heals families, churches, and hearts.

In this episode, we walk into God's courtroom where He as Judge declares a messed up life ‘not guilty’—not because the person became perfect, but because Jesus paid the price. We can be forgiven and declared sinless because of the great Bible truth of forgiveness. It is why God’s forgiveness covers past, present, and future sins. 

God's forgiveness moves us from the darkness of guilt to the sunshine of peace! Justification is a completed, legal transaction that gives us access to God and a new standing. We’re challenged not to abuse this gift, but to live in the freedom it creates, striving to be more like Jesus. This freedom of forgiveness allows us hold our heads up and live in victory.

In this episode we follow Asaph through a raw, honest moment of spiritual near-failure. He encountered jealousy, confusion, and the temptation to call it quits. As the Psalm unfolds, he compares himself to the prosperous wicked, spirals toward despair, and asks whether faith is even worth it.

But it all turns around when he returns to what he knows is certain, the church, the community of believers, and the immutable character of God. The episode traces his steps back from irrational comparison to spiritual clarity—showing how perspective, fellowship, and the memory of God’s goodness can steady a wavering heart.

In today's episode we talk about how to respond to God in prayer by examining the three prayers of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus reveals that prayer becomes a journey to know God better and discern His will.

Satan attacks in many ways but one of his go to attacks is by planting lies in our minds. Satan has the power to steal your mind. He wants to influence your thoughts and thus your actions. He attacks by presenting us with an idea. An idea that is a lie disguised as the truth. He wants you to believe the lies so that your actions will follow. God gives us the tools to recognize and defend against these attacks. You can fight and resist his attacks. You can stop him from stealing your mind!

This episode explores how prayer leads us to know God more deeply, drawing on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3. It explains that prayer is instinctive, instructive, and a lifelong journey that strengthens the inner person, roots us in love, and opens us to encountering God’s fullness.

We look as some practical tools for prayer such as: plan regular prayer times, experiment with different forms (petition, confession, adoration, meditation), and grow in biblical knowledge so prayer becomes a true conversation with God rather than a checklist.

As we navigate forward on our podcast episodes, I want to central in on this theme of knowing God better. Paul emphasizes that knowing God is the greatest achievement in our Christian life. In this episode we explore Ephesians 1, where Paul prays for spiritual wisdom and revelation to know God better that we may understand our calling, recognize the spiritual riches we have in Christ, and rely on God's power.

We discuss practical steps to grow in knowing God: pursuing relationship with Him, studying His Word, learning through life and trials, and remaining teachable. Join us as we seek to know God personally, increasingly, and one day perfectly.

On today's episode we explore what it means to be a Christian on mission, using John 4 and Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as the central example. Jesus teaches us the importance of lifting up our eyes and looking for the opportunities that are all around us. He reveals that we are to overcoming cultural barriers to reach unexpected people like this Samaritan woman. To be a Christian on mission means we must see and seize the opportunities that God has placed all around us!

On today's episode, we look at how Jesus prepared his disciples for persecution by promising the Holy Spirit. He describes him as the Comforter, an indwelling presence for believers. This episode explores the Holy Spirit’s role in sealing salvation, guiding into all truth, empowering believers for victorious living, and partnering with us in evangelism. 

In this episode we walk through John 15 to explore what it means to be a friend of Jesus, unpacking the themes of sacrifice, obedience, availability, and God’s relational design.

The episode highlights these key points: Jesus proved friendship by laying down his life, friendship requires mutual sacrifice and loyalty, obedience is the proof of friendship, and forgiveness and availability are central to Jesus’ way of relating to us.
