Dan shared a funny, relatable story about how a text message can be completely misread based on where you put the emphasis. What is a recent example from your own life where a total miscommunication happened over something small? K2. When it comes to our relationship with God, it is easy to default to a "transactional" mindset—thinking if we just give Him enough "stuff" or follow enough rules, He will be happy with us. Why do you think human beings naturally lean toward transactional religion instead of an intimate relationship? Grow G1. In the courtroom scene, God asks Israel, "What have I done to you? How have I burdened you?" He reminds them of how He redeemed, led, and protected them. When you are going through a dry or difficult season, how hard is it for you to remember God's past faithfulness? What helps you hit the reset button? G2. The Israelites' responses escalate from offering basic calves all the way to offering their firstborn children. They are drowning in desperation and trying to figure out how to satisfy God. In what ways do modern Christians display that same kind of panic or "performance anxiety" when they feel like they've messed up or fallen short? G3. Samm made a profound comment in the sermon: “I want to sacrifice for you, God... And God's like, no... I'm about to sacrifice for you... Get back in your lane. Like I'm the sacrificial lamb. You aren't.” How does switching the focus from our sacrifice to Jesus's sacrifice change the way we approach God on a daily basis? G4. The sermon introduces the Hebrew word Tov (good), which describes the harmony of the Eden world God created. How does viewing God's commands as a roadmap back to Tov (goodness and harmony) change your perspective, compared to viewing them as a restrictive checklist? Show S1 Dan challenged us to define what the big three look like in our specific context, using Jesus as our ultimate example. How would you practically define these three things in your workplace, neighbourhood, or family this week? o Acting justly o Loving mercy o Walking humbly with God S2. Samm explained that memorizing scripture literally restructures our brains and strengthens our "spiritual synaptic connections," much like a baby learning to walk. What is your plan for memorizing Micah 6:8 this week, and how can we hold each other accountable to building those deep neural pathways? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 (NIV)

In what ways has Hosea 11 challenged, corrected, or affirmed that picture? Grow G1 Hosea describes God as a Father who loves His child even when that child repeatedly turns away. What does this passage teach us about the nature of God's love? G2 Hosea 11 contains both warnings and compassion. Why is it important to hold together God's justice and His mercy rather than emphasizing only one or the other? G3 Verse 9 says, "For I am God, and not a man—the Holy One among you." What do you think this tells us about the difference between God's love and human love? G4 Where in your life do you most need to hear God's invitation to come home, be settled, and rest in His care? G5 Where in your life do you most need to hear God's invitation to come home, be settled, and rest in His care? Show S1 In a quiet space, slowly reread Hosea 11:3–4. Then sit quietly for a moment and imagine the God described in those verses: teaching a child to walk, taking them by the arms, healing them, leading them with cords of kindness, lifting them to His cheek, and bending down to feed them. What do you notice? What emotions arise? What does this picture reveal about God's heart toward you personally?

Who are the people who have left "fingerprints of faith" on your life? Grow in Groups G1 Dan suggests that feeling the discomfort and heavy weight of sin under the Holy Spirit's conviction is actually a sign of God's grace. How does viewing conviction as grace change the way you respond when you realize you are out of alignment with God? G2 Think about the shoe illustration—how your whole body reacts to a tiny speck of gravel until you shake it out. What are some practical ways we can better tune our souls to notice that spiritual "discomfort" of conviction before we try to drown it out or ignore it? G3 Dan mentions a common human trap: trying to "sin our way out of sin" because it offers a temporary fix or momentary joy. Why is this cycle so tempting, and how can we help each other break out of it? G4 If someone secretly believes that God is reluctantly handing out forgiveness or just waiting for them to screw up again, how will that distort their repentance? G5 God ties His very existence to the statement, "I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked." [Ezekiel 33:11] How does this radical picture of God's character challenge the cultural or traditional views of God you grew up with? G6 The Thomas McCall and Jason Vickers quote notes that "restoration and reconciliation are always the divine aim." If God's primary goal is restoration rather than mere retribution, how should that alter the way we approach Him after we mess up? Show Up and Serve S1 What is one specific area of your life where you feel the prompt to stop digging the hole deeper, "turn," and realign with God's freedom this week?

Cornerstone Church celebrates 30 years of God's faithfulness, tracing its remarkable journey from humble beginnings to community transformation. The story begins with Pastor Henry and Doris Hunkapiller's missionary work in Liberia, whose legacy continued through their daughter Georgie and her husband Pastor Artie Davis. Despite initial reluctance after previous church planting failures, God called them to start something different in Orangeburg. From a small gymnastics center to the Willington campus, and finally to the miraculous acquisition of the old Winn-Dixie building, God has consistently provided beyond human understanding. This legacy reminds us that we live in the shade of trees we didn't plant, and challenges us to continue building for future generations through faithful obedience to God's calling.

In Part 2 of Ralph's conversation with Tim Goodman, the discussion moves from personal calling to the realities of leading through disruption, and rebuilding on the other side.Tim unpacks the deeper theological crisis behind the Methodist split, explaining why the issues went far beyond surface-level debates and struck at the core of Scripture, salvation, and the nature of truth itself. From there, he shares the behind-the-scenes story of stepping away from the United Methodist Church—navigating tension, uncertainty, and the very real cost of obedience.You'll hear how God led Tim to Cornerstone Church in Ohio in what can only be described as a perfectly timed landing, and how he began rebuilding a culture of disciple-making from the ground up. Alongside Ralph Moore, Tim walks through the practical steps they've taken to shift from stagnant small groups to multiplying, Scripture-centered “life groups” that are creating space for real growth and new people.This is a conversation about:Leading when everything feels uncertainMaking hard theological decisions with graceRebuilding a church culture around discipleshipAnd learning to adapt models without losing the missionIf you're trying to move your church from maintenance to movement, or figuring out how to lead after a major transition, this episode is full of practical wisdom and hard-won insight.

In this episode of the Ralph Moore Podcast, Ralph sits down with Tim Goodman, senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Westchester, Ohio, for a deeply personal and timely conversation about calling, conviction, and the cost of leadership.Tim shares his powerful journey from a small, rural church upbringing to walking away from faith, to a life-altering encounter with God following two brain surgeries that brought him to complete surrender.

Ralph and Tim also explore the broader upheaval within the Methodist movement, unpacking the theological tensions, leadership challenges, and difficult decisions that have shaped the formation of the Global Methodist Church. If you're a pastor, church planter, or leader facing hard decisions, this episode offers both encouragement and clarity. Tim's story is a reminder that God often does His deepest work through seasons of struggle and that faithful leadership is forged in the tension between grace and truth.

This episode opens with Candace welcoming pastor Francis Chan for the first of a six-week series built around his book Beloved and the theme of God's love. The two share history going back to Candace's teenage years at Cornerstone Church, and that context shapes the conversation from the start. Francis has written several books, including Crazy Love, and Beloved is the anchor for everything this season covers. A lot of this episode focuses on Francis's early life. His mother died when he was born, his father gave him up, and he was raised by his grandmother in Hong Kong before being returned to his dad at age five. Francis remembers arriving in a home where he felt like an interruption, not speaking English, with older siblings who didn't know what to do with him. His stepmother died in a car accident when he was seven, and his father died when he was twelve. Francis connects that history directly to the reason he wrote Beloved: accepting a holy, sovereign, judging God came naturally to him, but believing that God personally loved him was something else entirely. Candace comes to the conversation from a different starting point. Growing up with a loving earthly father, she says she absorbed God's love almost by default and never stopped to think too deeply about whether it was real or not. She reflects that believing something and actually sitting inside it aren't the same thing. Francis responds that this is its own kind of distance, and that he sometimes tells his own children he worries they'll miss out on the particular dependence on God that came from having no one else to rely on. The episode closes with a listener theology question from Vicky about Moses interceding when God threatens to destroy the Israelites. Vicky asks how a sovereign God who knows everything can be genuinely angry about things He already knew would happen, and whether Moses actually changed the outcome. Francis points to Isaiah 55, acknowledges the tension honestly, and draws out what the passage teaches about prayer, intercession, and how scripture uses narrative to communicate what neat answers alone can't.
