How do you share your faith without feeling weird or “pushy”? They say the best way to understand something is to try to explain it to someone else. But trying to explain the Gospel in ten words or less kinda feels like trying to fit a gallon of ice cream in an dixie cup. It can be so complex, but it can also be so, so simple. Today, Alli Patterson gives us some tools to not only understand the Gospel, but how to share it with our friends in a way that feels like Good News (and not weird or pushy).

“Faith” is one of those nice words you might see stitched into a pillow or on the class roll at a Christian school. We might think it has something to do with believing God or having nice thoughts.

This week, Alli Patterson shows why out of the whole city of Jericho, God chose Rahab the prostitute to be His servant. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was too late for swimming lessons. When 2 million Israelites arrived at the edge of the Red Sea with all the might of Egypt nipping at their heels, it seemed like it was game over. But where there was a sea, God made a highway. Maybe you feel up against the Red Sea in your own life. That job you've been waiting on falls through, the bills keep coming when your money runs out, you get that diagnosis you weren't expecting. In this message, Chuck Mingo shows us how God making a way isn't just something He does every once in a while. It's key to who He is. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Maybe you've heard about Daniel in the Lion's Den from Sunday School. The moral of the story probably went something like this: if you're nice and faithful, God will save you from all of your troubles and you'll never have to deal with any difficulty and you can play with the nice kitties. But there's actually so much more to the story. This week, Kyle Ranson unpacks how this story is not just how God saves us from danger, but actually invites us into MORE danger for the sake of our friends and neighbors.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio

We have a way God's love looks in our heads: rainbows, puppies, and maybe even a gallon bucket of that one frappe from Starbucks. Yeah...that's not quite what Jonah felt when he found himself stuck in the digestive track of a giant sea beast. But what if that's the exact thing that Jonah needed to come back to God at that time? This week Alli Patterson shows us how God's mercy is always chasing us, and God can and will use whatever it takes to bring us back to Him—even if it means becoming fish food.

“Are we there yet?” There's a chance you've heard that (or said it) from the back of a minivan when you're hours from your destination and there's still another 400 miles until the next Buc-ees. When we're waiting on your spouse, next promotion, or next vacation, life can feel the same way. So when life isn't going our pace, how can we trust that God is still good? This week, Kyle Ranson unpacks the story of the Israelites wandering for 40 years in the desert and shows how even when it feels like God is running late, He's right on time. And even while we wait, He still gives us everything we need Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

There's a long list of things that can make you feel like you're a “Bad Christian™“. The swear word when you stub your toe. The glass of wine when the kids are in bed. Sometimes it's just as simple as asking one too many questions.  But what if asking questions didn't mean you were far away from God? What if it's just the doorway to know Him more? In a world that's quick to hop into a all caps-lock online debate, Chuck Mingo shows us how it's ok to come to God with our questions—and how Jesus will meet us there.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
