All of us have lies whispered to us that we carry around that want to KEEP us stumbling around in the dark. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how when you feel lost in the valley, there's not only a light, but there's a light that comes to find you. (Also, this is a part 2. If you missed it, go back and watch Kyle's last talk before this, and thank us later).  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

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).

But what if we told you that the people Jesus called to be evangelists are…you and me?

“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. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
