This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Cliff Hines, Hannah Buttram, and Josh Hensley join the conversation to unpack Sunday's message on anticipation, waiting, and being spiritually ready for the return of Christ. Along the way, the crew shares hilarious confessions about traffic rage, Amazon tracking habits, ruined surprises, airport timing, and why microwaves are apparently a spiritual test. The discussion balances humor with honest reflection as they wrestle through how waiting reveals our trust, patience, and priorities. The second half of the episode shifts into a deeper conversation around not wasting seasons of waiting, how believers can actively prepare themselves for Christ, and what life would actually look like if we truly believed Jesus was returning soon. The team also highlights upcoming opportunities at New Work Fellowship, including foster care support initiatives and Vacation Bible School, while encouraging listeners to step into faith instead of staying spiritually stagnant. It's a meaningful and surprisingly relatable conversation about living ready, living expectantly, and making the most of the time God has given us.

Jennifer jumps right into the fun while also sharing some honest and encouraging perspectives throughout the episode. The conversation then shifts into a deeper discussion surrounding Michael's sermon on purity, relationships, and the picture of Christ cleansing His bride. The group reflects on marriage roles, integrity, sanctification, and how purity impacts every relationship in life, not just romantic ones. There's a strong emphasis on God changing desires from the inside out, the importance of living with integrity in everyday moments, and how genuine purity becomes a witness to the world around us. The episode closes with excitement for upcoming camps, mission trips, and the next message in the series from Cliff Hines.

Introducing the Beyond Sunday Podcast, getting to know the women behind your favorite stars of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hey, Beyond Sunday listeners! Join us today for the final episode of our Spring 2026 season. The Sermon on the Mount leaves us with a radical and inescapable choice—either to follow Jesus or to reject him. What we choose, however, depends on our response to a deeper question: Who is this preacher? Or in Jesus' own words, "Who do you say that I am?" Tune in to hear why this is the most important question of all time—and why your answer is the most important thing about you. Please join us the next few months as we interview the preachers from our upcoming summer series. As the Lord would have it, we will be journeying through the Sermon on the Mount on Sunday mornings from now until early August. Don't miss this chance to dig even deeper into the treasure trove that is this one-of-a-kind sermon from our one-of-a-kind savior!
In week 3 of our Beyond Sunday series through Colossians, we explore the truth that our identity is not shaped by our failures, fears, or feelings, but by what Jesus Christ has done for us through the cross. Through Colossians, we're reminded that Jesus reconciled us to God, made us holy and blameless, and calls us to stand firm in that truth. This message encourages us to stop striving for approval and start living from the secure identity we already have in Christ, allowing Jesus to work in us and through us to impact others.

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Michael Shearon, Josh Hensley, and special guests Wendy Westerfield, Noell Robinson, and Tressy Wells share heartfelt and hilarious stories from the front lines of foster care.

May 11, 2026 In Episode 2 of Beyond Sunday, the Pastors from Newbreak Church reflect on the powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John and what they reveal about His identity, character, and invitation to trust Him more deeply. The conversation gets personal as the hosts talk honestly about anxiety, control, burnout, suffering, and the daily challenge of surrendering things to God. They explore how Jesus meets people not through perfection or appearances, but through humility, grace, and transformation. The episode also features an unforgettable baptism testimony from Caesar, a Marine officer who shares how hitting rock bottom led him to fully surrender his life to Christ. His vulnerable story becomes a moving reminder that God can redeem anyone's story. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or spiritually hungry, this episode offers encouragement, honesty, and hope for what it looks like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday. About this Sermon Series: What if the God you've heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you've experienced? In this 6-week series, we'll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship. These statements aren't just descriptions—they're declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we'll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we'll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.

"Beyond Sunday" are episodes from Adam and Narrate staff that dive deeper into our life with Christ Adam and Hannah discuss the process for council nominations this year, why it's important, and who makes a great council member.
This week's episode of Beyond Sunday starts with hilarious stories about siblings, childhood memories, and the random things people refuse to throw away. From old Nintendo systems to mysterious keys and worn-out keepsakes, the conversation naturally shifts into a deeper discussion about forgiveness and why some hurts are much harder to release than others. Using the story of Hosea and Gomer, the team reflects on God's relentless love and the challenge of choosing forgiveness even when it costs something deeply personal. The second half of the episode dives into what it means to truly forgive, receive forgiveness, and choose love again. The hosts talk about bitterness, relationships, worship, and how God's forgiveness toward us changes the way we treat others. There are heartfelt moments, honest reflections, and somehow a story about Josh dressing up as a giant foam tongue in a children's musical. It's meaningful, funny, and full of reminders that grace changes everything.

This week on Beyond Sunday, Josh, Michael, Evan, and special guest Lorin Borntrager follow up on week two of Grace Wins with a conversation about bitterness, forgiveness, and the freedom God wants for us. After a very memorable taste-test game full of bitter foods and drinks, the conversation turns to Joseph's story and the challenge of forgiving even when the apology is weak, the hurt is real, and bitterness feels justified. The episode also gets practical about boundaries, reconciliation, family patterns, anger, and what it looks like to keep choosing forgiveness without pretending the hurt never happened. It is a thoughtful and honest reminder that forgiveness does not always happen overnight, but it does open the door to healing, freedom, and a heart ready to love again.

Share a commentSin doesn't just break rules, it tries to reclaim a throne. We start with a forgotten identity shift: Scripture calls believers royalty, headed toward a future crown with Christ, which raises a hard question for today. If that future is real, what would it look like to live with character that matches it now, in the choices nobody applauds?From Romans 6, we separate two words Christians mix up all the time: justification and sanctification. Justification is instant deliverance from sin's penalty; sanctification is lifelong deliverance from sin's power. That distinction protects the gospel from legalism while still taking holiness seriously, because real growth verifies real faith. We then walk straight into Paul's blunt commands: stop letting sin reign, stop presenting your body to sin, and instead present yourself to God as someone made alive.The conversation gets practical fast. We talk about temptation as a daily war at the gates, how “Mansoul” falls only when someone inside opens the door, and why the smartest escape plan happens before you're already parked in the lot. We also push past the myth that the Christian life is only a bigger “no” by showing how sanctification requires a bigger “yes” through surrender, cooperation with God's power, and training for godliness through spiritual disciplines.If you've felt stuck between trying harder and doing nothing, this will reframe holy living in a way that is both honest and doable.
