They say the only constant in life is change. And with the changing of the seasons come inevitable goodbyes. Today on the podcast, we're having a short convo on how to say goodbye. "It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God."

“Within this Christian vision of marriage, here's what it means to fall in love. It is to look at another person and get a glimpse of what God is creating, and to say, "I see who God is making you, and it excites me! I want to be part of that. I want to partner with you and God in the journey you are taking to his throne. And when we get there, I will look at your magnificence and say, 'I always knew you could be like this. I got glimpses of it on earth, but now look at you!” ~Timothy Keller When we think of marriage, sometimes we think of it with rose colored glasses, all roses and fairytales. But there's a deeper meaning played out after saying "I do." Today, we're continuing our gender role discussion, examining how they play out in marriage with special guest Andrea Hunter!

Note: We're taking a slight break on our Gender series and expanding the conversation around our topic of lament from our Tuesday-night Summer Play List series. What if diving into our deepest lament might be one of our greatest gifts? In today's episode, we're taking a closer look at how the Bible offers us a framework for holding the brokenness of this world.

When broaching the topic of gender, we must realize we have a broken view, vulnerably shaped by cultural norms. On today's episode, we're taking a broad look at two polarized gender ideals that culture presents and how the Bible gives us a proper, balanced perspective of the ultimate gender ideal.

"Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. . . .So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26a & 1:27.  Gender is a charged topic in culture today. No cap. From gender dysphoria to pride month, how do we as Christian interact and engage in this conversation posed by surrounding culture. Today, we're continuing the conversation on gender, by setting the framework of how the Bible trains us to interact with unbelievers and believers alike on the topic of gender.

Genesis 1:26a & 1:27. Why did God create two seemingly opposing gender? Today, we're delving into a brand new topic on gender, how it started, and where controversy may enter the chat. We take a look at how male and female gender—in all its diversity—reflects the immense beauty of God and how we can embrace the differences that glorify God's design.

Stillness. It's something that we need so desperately in a frantic world but feels impossibly out of reach. Yet when the Bible commands, "Be still and know that I am God," is stillness a state that can be feasibly achieved? Or are we left to vague instructions that leave us still feeling dissatisfied? In today's episode, we're expanding the conversation on stillness, and how a Christian's life can be marked with immovable peace. SHOWNOTES // Crossroads Tuesday nights are back, better than ever!

Do you scroll through the 'gram and get sucked into other people's stories? Why can we get hooked on a new Netflix series and hang onto the cliffhangers? Do the stories we tell each other even matter? If you look around, we as human beings are naturally attracted to the construct of Story, and today, we're going back to the beginning of where it all started. If you think the Bible is dull, hard-to-understand, or just flat-out boring, this episode is for you.
