Ryan sits down with Jeff and Arlen to discuss Jonah 4 and the powerful conclusion of Jonah: Deep & Wide Mercy.Together they explore why the book ends with a question instead of an answer, how Jonah's anger reveals the condition of his heart, and why God's final words are meant to challenge readers as much as they challenged Jonah.The conversation looks at God's compassion for Nineveh, the repeated question “Is it right for you to be angry?”, and the ways prayer, worship, and Scripture help align our hearts with God's.Jonah's story ends without revealing his response, inviting each of us to answer God's question for ourselves.Main Passage: Jonah 4Series: Jonah: Deep & Wide MercyWeek: 4Host: RyanGuests: Jeff and Arlen

Bill sits down with Adam Jackson and Jack Guerra to talk through Jonah 2–3 in week 2 of Jonah: Deep & Wide Mercy.They discuss Jonah's messy path back to obedience, the surprising response of Nineveh, and the strange mercy of God in the fish. What looks like punishment in the Sunday school version may actually be rescue: the sea is the disaster, and the fish is God's saving grace.The conversation also gets into Jonah's second call, his five-word sermon, and the reminder that God can work through our weak and even half-hearted obedience. His mercy is bigger than Jonah's heart, Nineveh's sin, and our first failed attempt to obey.Main Passage: Jonah 2–3Series: Jonah: Deep & Wide MercyWeek: 2Host: Bill Van KirkGuests: Adam Jackson and Jack Guerra

Ryan Groshek sits down with Jeff Pittman and Adam Jackson to dig deeper into Jonah 1 and the message "You Can Run, but You Can't Hide." Together, they talk about how to read Jonah faithfully, why the story is about much more than a big fish, and how the book reveals God's grace toward people Jonah would rather avoid.The conversation explores Jonah's resistance, the surprising faith of the sailors, God's compassion for enemies, and the way sin can send us running even when we know what God has said. The episode closes with a practical invitation: when you recognize you have been running from God, it is never too late to repent and take the next step of obedience.Main Passage: Jonah 1Series: The Follow Up - JonahWeek: 1

In Week 3 of The Follow Up - Ruth, Jack Guerra sits down with Garet Meyer and Arlen Chastain to unpack Ruth 3:1-18 and the message "Risk, Redemption, and Rest." They talk about Ruth's bold approach to Boaz, the symbolism of the garment and the wings of the Lord, Naomi's movement from emptiness toward fullness, and why Boaz shows that redemption comes through character, not just power.The conversation also wrestles with the bigger gospel picture: if Ruth is a woman of noble character, what hope is there for those of us who know we are not good enough to deserve redemption? The answer points beyond Boaz to Jesus, the true Redeemer who welcomes outsiders and restores what is broken.They close by talking about one of the hardest spiritual lessons in Ruth 3: sometimes faith means stepping out, and sometimes faith means waiting. It is a practical conversation about risk, wisdom, prayer, patience, and learning the difference between being passive and being patient.Main Passage: Ruth 3:1-18Series: The Follow Up - RuthWeek: 3

Jack sits down with Jeff Pittman and Jeff Lederer to unpack John 17 — Jesus' Priestly Prayer. This isn't a lesson on how to pray. It's a rare look into Jesus' intimate conversation with the Father as he faces the cross.The conversation covers three powerful themes: Jesus praying for his glory to be fully revealed, the church being kept and protected as it goes out into the world (not hiding in a bubble), and the beautiful call to unity — not uniformity — modeled on the Trinity itself. Jeff Pittman makes a compelling case that sharing your faith actually strengthens it, and Jack reflects on twelve years of watching that mission bear fruit at Spring Lake.Spring Lake Church's new Lawrence campus is NOW OPEN — 2878 Lawrence Dr, De Pere, WI 54115.

Bill sits down with Pastor Jack and Pastor Garet to unpack John 15 — the vine and the branches. The conversation starts with a fun look at their opening sermon illustrations (Jack grabbed a stick from the woods, Garet brought baby possums named Crash and Eddie), then gets into what it really means to stay connected to Jesus.They explore the Holy Spirit as the "sap" of the vine, why Jesus calling himself the "true vine" is a direct response to Israel's failure in the Old Testament, and how to think about seasons of pruning. Bill shares his apple tree story, Jack talks about his grapevine, and all three get honest about what it looks like to love people we disagree with in a culture addicted to outrage.Main Passage: John 15Series: The Follow Up – Gospel of JohnWeek: 23
