Virgil Walker Join pastors Kyle Swanson, Jason Stinson, Virgil Walker, Todd Burgett, and Darrell Harrison as they dive deep into the tyranny of busyness and its impact on the modern Christian life.

This week, I'm sitting down with Justin Giboney to have an honest conversation about what it means to choose grace in a world that thrives on outrage. Together, we unpack how believers can respond to offense with Christ-like wisdom, especially when tension, politics, and faith collide in public spaces.We talk about what it looks like to pause before reacting, how to discern truth in a noisy culture, and why guarding your witness matters more than winning an argument. Justin shares biblical insight on engaging the culture without losing compassion, and how the posture of our hearts reveals what we truly believe about Jesus.If you've wondered how to respond when the world feels divided, or what faithfulness looks like in a polarized time such as now, this conversation will meet you right where you are.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Have you quit praying? Think about the last week: What happened when you saw that last horrible news article, or video on SM, or had someone at work tell you about another heart-rending tragedy. What did you do? If you're anything like me, you didn't pray. You might've shrugged, or cried a little, or made a snarky remark (also more like me than the other two)--but if you're like me, you didn't pray. Our lack of prayer shows we are forgetting just who it is we serve. We serve a God who is:A good fatherCreator God of everythingCalling us to kingdom workWe pray to see His will be done and His kingdom come. Let us not give up in doing what is good, but instead to pray without ceasing, even if it means we pray about our lack of desire to pray.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4pS7m8R

Over the next few episodes, we'll dive deep into what sonship really means, how to walk in it daily, and how to recognize when you're slipping back into orphan or slave thinking.About This Episode: Most Christians know the phrase "identity in Christ," but few actually walk in it. If you've been stuck in the same patterns of behavior despite trying everything to change, the problem isn't your effort—it's your identity.In this episode, we expose the two false identities that war against believers: the orphan mindset and the slave mindset. Using the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we reveal how these hidden operating systems drive your decisions, sabotage your blessings, and keep you from living in the freedom Christ died to give you.You'll discover: ✓ Why behavior modification never works without identity transformation ✓ The signs you're living with an orphan or slave mindset ✓ How these false identities make you forfeit your God-given inheritance ✓ What it truly means to be a son or daughter of God ✓ How to break free from religious performance and strivingThis isn't about trying harder—it's about believing who God says you are.Turn this episode into real change: The Kingdom Shift newsletter gives you one specific way to apply this week's Kingdom truth.

This week, we are joined by our dear friend and best-selling author, Susannah B. Lewis. You will love Susannah's humor and authenticity as we discuss our faith and the challenge she placed before us at the Rooted and Rising Women's Event last month. We talk about the four types of soil and the condition of our hearts, and Susannah shares what prompted her to grow deeper in her relationship with the Lord. We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together, while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all. Favorite quotes from this episode: In praying for wisdom, the Lord gave me the desire for His Word. We have to be rooted in God's Word, or there is no fruit. God wants to transform our hearts! Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." There is a difference between being saved and being surrendered. The fruit doesn't come from dipping the plant in the soil. It has to be rooted there. As I am growing spiritually, my thoughts have changed. My interests have changed. I am so on fire for the Lord that He has taken priority in my life, and my social media reflects that. I have come to know just how much I need the blood of Jesus, which in turn makes me bolder to speak that. We are called to be bold! That's what he wants from us! The older we get, the more hungry we become for the scriptures! We better understand what Jesus did for us, and we do not take that lightly! If we are struggling to fast from something, it has become an idol. We should be grieved by what grieves God. Our whole lives are a war between the flesh and the spirit. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 Just because someone is older, that doesn't mean they are wise. Look for the fruit. Don't take spiritual advice from someone who is not in God's Word. We can be aware of what is going on in the world without being consumed by it. We will drift if we aren't actively drawing closer to the Lord. Ecclesiastes 1:18 "The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow." Our memory verse for October: 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

Welcome to the sermon. Today we're in Exodus 3 & 4, exploring one of life's most foundational questions: "Who am I?" Through Moses's encounter at the burning bush, we'll confront the shame and insecurity that so often writes our life's story. We'll see how God's answer to our feelings of inadequacy is profoundly different from the world's, shifting our focus from our weakness to His powerful presence.Scripture ReferencesExodus 3:1-14: The Burning Bush, God's call, and Moses's first question, "Who am I?"Exodus 4:1-17: Moses's excuses, God's provision of signs, and His promise of help.Key Points1. Unredeemed Shame Writes Our StoryOur behavior is rooted in what we believe about ourselves. While guilt says "I did something bad," shame says "I am bad." If this shame isn't redeemed, it becomes the author of our story, creating vows that dictate our actions. Moses was crippled by shame: he felt he belonged nowhere, was a failure rejected by everyone, was too old, and was disabled by a speech impediment. His shame was about to make him miss his destiny.2. The World's Answer vs. God's AnswerHow does God respond to Moses's crippling insecurity? Our culture—and even AI—advises self-reflection, validation, and positive reinforcement. The goal is self-love. God's approach is completely different. When Moses asks, "Who am I?", God doesn't list Moses's qualifications or tell him "You've got this." Instead, He gives a radically different answer that changes the entire equation: "I will be with you."3. God's Presence is the Antidote to PrideGod's answer isn't a non-answer; it's the only answer. Focusing on ourselves leads to one of two places: pride ("I am adequate") or insecurity ("I am inadequate"). Both are forms of pride because they are self-obsessed. The way out is to stop looking inward, which leads to depression, and to look at God, which leads to rest. God's presence, not our adequacy, is the foundation for our calling.ConclusionGod's promise, "I will be with you," is the definitive answer to our deepest insecurities. He doesn't call the adequate; He makes Himself present to the inadequate. Even God's anger at Moses's final excuse was the protective love of a Father, angry for him, not wanting him to miss his destiny. God wants to take the pen from the hand of your shame and become the true Author of your story.Calls to ActionIdentify the Script: Recognize where shame, rather than God's truth, is writing the script for your life.Shift Your Focus: When you feel inadequate, intentionally shift your question from "Who am I?" to "Who is the God that is with me?"Rest in His Presence: Stop striving to become adequate. Instead, receive the promise that He is with you as your all-sufficient help. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.
In this episode of the podcast we discuss "Who Are You?" Are you what the world says you are? Or are you what Christ says you are?
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on the final song of ascent, Psalm 134. As pilgrims arrive in Jerusalem, they call on those serving in the temple—especially those keeping the night watch—to lift their hands and praise the Lord. Together, they explore the beauty of worship that involves not just our voices but our whole selves, and how both travelers and temple servants encourage one another in unity. The discussion highlights the challenges of serving in unseen or difficult circumstances, the reminder that God always sees and knows, and the promise of blessing from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

✨ We're transitioning into Phase 3!In this heartfelt conversation, Kanoe and Holly explain how Heart Dive is moving from a single-voice teaching style into something deeper-- true discipleship lived out in real time.

Send us a text In a culture that profits from our exhaustion and demands a hot take on everything, how do we stay with the real Jesus? This episode is a single-voice, honest walk through abiding and pace—moving from performance to participation, from hurry to the easy yoke. We name the pressure to react to every news cycle and every social wave, the chorus of second-hand “takes on Jesus,” and the stigma that calls burnout or confusion weakness. Along the way we practice stepping back toward God—not escaping life, but living within God-given limits—with lived scenes from the office, the kitchen, and the phone in your hand. Expect a grounded invitation to discern Jesus' voice, receive your limits as part of discipleship, be “late to a take,” and let belovedness set your pace. Quiet, practical, and deeply hopeful.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Hosea chapter 6, a passage titled A Call to Repentance. Hosea invites the people to return to the Lord with the assurance that God will respond as surely as the dawn breaks and the spring rains fall. Yet the chapter also reveals God's grief over Israel and Judah's fleeting devotion—love that evaporates like morning mist. The discussion explores God's heart for relationship over ritual, emphasizing that He desires love and obedience rather than empty sacrifices. Curtis and Sally connect Hosea's message to Jesus' words in Matthew 9, where He calls for mercy instead of ritual offerings, reminding us that God has always sought hearts that truly know Him. They also consider the cost of discipleship: being vulnerable before God, allowing His Word to cut to the heart, and engaging deeply in scripture, prayer, and community. Amid judgment, Hosea points to God's enduring desire to heal, restore, and make His people whole. The episode closes with the reminder that obedience and love are greater than any outward act of sacrifice, and that God's promises of renewal are as steady as the morning light.

Hey ya'll! This week I'm continuing my conversation with Dr. Eric Mason to conclude our discussion around his new book, Rebranding the Church. We talked about the power of giving leaders in the church the opportunity to repent through conversation, and pursuing unity in a world where division is often on display.Dr. Mason shared why discernment is crucial in these last days, how to recognize the difference between immaturity and destructive false teaching, and why teachability and discipleship are vital for every believer. We explored what healthy churches look like, how conflict should be handled biblically, and how unity and purpose anchor us in God's design for His people.If you've wondered how to navigate conflict with grace and truth, or longed to understand what true purpose in Christ really looks like, this conversation is for you.Share this with someone who needs the reminder that God calls us not only to believe but to embody His truth, living as a church marked by repentance, grounded in unity, and rebranded for His glory in a watching world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Are you exhausted from trying to be a “better Christian,” follow all the rules, or just fix yourself? In this episode, Heather Creekmore dives into the age-old dilemma every believer faces: Am I supposed to be working on me—and if so, how much of it is up to me, and how much is God’s job? Inspired by the Crowder song “He’s Working on Me Still,” Heather explores the difference between self-powered striving and Spirit-powered transformation. Using honest stories, biblical wisdom (especially from Galatians 5), and practical illustrations, she helps Christian women understand why hustling for holiness leaves us tired—and how true freedom and growth comes when we move from “I’m working on me” to “He’s working on me.” In This Episode: Why spiritual striving, religious rule-following, and willpower can’t bring long-term freedom How diet culture mindsets sneak into our faith and make us rely on formulas instead of God What it means to step out of the driver’s seat and let God be in control (with relatable analogies and humor) The power of relationship over religion and why faith is more than just “doing all the things” How to recognize if your spiritual life is based on head knowledge, not heart transformation Practical steps to move from self-reliance to Spirit-dependence—including honest reflection questions and the importance of daily worship Key Takeaway:Stop striving for self-improvement and start leaning into God’s grace. When we let go of self-reliance and invite the Holy Spirit to lead, we experience true rest, freedom, and lasting spiritual growth.

This week, we share what we learned from our September memory verses in Colossians 1, and Fran shares our new memory verse for October, plus her takeaways from a powerful ministry event with Jaco Booyens on Union's campus last week. We talk about the power of confessing our sin and praying protection over one another, plus the prayer Jesus prayed over us in John 17. We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all. Did you memorize Colossians with us in September? What is the Lord teaching you through these verses? "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father,who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:9-12 "It's time for us to be done with shallow, surface level faith. There is so much to learn, and the Lord wants to be engaged with us through his Word." Fran We have a new scripture memory verse for October: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment." 2 Timothy 1:7 CSB Learn more about Jaco Booyens Ministries Listen to a sermon by Jaco Booyens here John 17:11-19 "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."
