Send us Fan Mail The question sounds simple until you sit with it: why would a church choose not to hang an American flag in the sanctuary? With Independence Day nearby, we revisit a conversation that gets honest about g
Send us Fan Mail The most dangerous words we say might be the most casual: “I knew it.” They can sound like wisdom, but they often reveal something else, the moment we stop listening because we think we already understan
Send us Fan Mail Your emotions are real, but they’re also unreliable drivers. When you’re hungry, tired, lonely, stressed, or simply overstimulated by life, your mood can swing fast and your reactions can get loud. We’ve
Send us Fan Mail A king demands worship, the music plays, and an entire empire bows on cue, but three teenagers stay standing. Sonja Knutson walks us through Daniel 3 and the fiery furnace with a focus on the words that
Send us Fan Mail “I’m fine” can sound polite, but it can also be the fastest way to stay stuck. We kick off with a funny “You mad, bro?” moment and end up somewhere surprisingly practical: if you can’t name your feelings
Send us Fan Mail A terrifying dream wakes up the most powerful king on earth, and his response is pure panic: “Tell me the dream and its interpretation or you die.” That pressure lands on Daniel, a teenager in exile with
Send us Fan Mail Two questions can expose how much of your life is choice and how much is drift: “Who are you?” and “What are you doing here?” We celebrate a milestone episode by telling a story about a rabbi who gets lo
Send us Fan Mail Babylon doesn’t only invade with armies. It invades with stories, habits, and names. As we kick off a summer series in the book of Daniel, we dig into Daniel chapter 1 and the theme Pattern to Promise: t
Send us Fan Mail “One day I’m gonna be somebody.” That sentence sounds ambitious, but it can also be a quiet apology for taking up space. We kick off with an Instagram reel where Gary Vee stops a young woman mid-thank-yo
Send us Fan Mail What if the most life-giving thing you could do this week is stop? Not “check out” or “treat yourself,” but actually cease, long enough to wake up to your own life again. Before heading into a three-mont
Send us Fan Mail Most of us don’t need more information, we need a simple move that breaks the gridlock of hesitation. Today we’re leaning on a two-word rule for life that hits with surprising force: go first. Inspired b
Send us Fan Mail “To the Lord” sounds like a toast, but it can also be a way of living. We take the final stretch of Colossians and bring it down to street level: how Jesus reshapes what we do with our relationships, our
Send us Fan Mail A stand-up comedian delivers the punchline of the year: modern pastors trying to solve modern problems with an ancient book, like a husband leaving for an AI TikTok dancer while the pastor scrambles for
Send us Fan Mail You can’t staple Jesus onto an already busy life and call it transformation. Colossians 3 forces a sharper question: if you’ve been raised with Christ, what has to die so the real you can finally live? W
Send us Fan Mail The fastest character test isn’t a big spotlight moment, it’s what we do with the small responsibilities nobody notices. We wrestle with a sharp line from Jesus in the Gospel of Luke: if you can be trust
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt squeezed between “fit in with the culture” and “prove you’re serious with more rules,” Colossians 2 hits uncomfortably close to home. We walk through why the earliest Christians in a
Send us Fan Mail God’s first move after failure isn’t a lecture. It’s a question: “Where are you?” Ryan takes us into Genesis 3, back to the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve reach for the forbidden fruit, feel their ey
Send us Fan Mail Faith rarely gets attacked head-on. More often, it gets diluted. We keep Jesus on the plate, but we start piling on extras that feel practical, modern, and safe: success, comfort, status, control, and th
Send us Fan Mail Your brain loves a plan, but that doesn’t mean your plan is love. We tell a story from a pilgrimage in Israel where our guide refused to share the itinerary, and it instantly revealed how quickly the ego
Send us Fan Mail Nostalgia can sneak up on you and suddenly you’re missing a version of life you can’t actually return to. After a weekend back in Colorado with old friends, I find myself asking why the “olden days” can
