CPXL Season 2 • Episode 7: God's Promises in Legacy and Forgiveness CPXL, or CrossPoint Extra Large, is your midweek companion to the weekend message from CrossPoint. Each episode takes a deeper dive into the Sunday sermon—exploring the text further, unpacking broader themes, and offering practical ways to live out God's Word. Designed to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries, CPXL helps you Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.This week on CPXL Hutchinson Location Pastor Shaun Jones joins Andy and Eric as we dive into Genesis 37–50 and reflect on God's Promises in Legacy and Forgiveness through the life of Joseph. From betrayal and suffering to reconciliation and restoration, Joseph's journey reveals a God who keeps His covenant promises across generations—even when circumstances seem to contradict them. We explore how legacy is shaped not just by blessing, but by forgiveness; how choosing grace over revenge protects the future God is building; and how trusting His bigger story allows wounds to become testimonies. In the end, Joseph's life reminds us that God's promises are not fragile—they endure through family dysfunction, personal pain, and years of waiting, weaving redemption into every chapter.CrossPoint is one church in many places, reaching Kansas by catalyzing God's people to be Everyday Missionaries.Find a location near you: crosspointchurch.com/locations#CPXL #Genesis #Ishmael #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #CrossPointChurch

In this episode of Sober Awkward, Vic sits down with Recovery Jimmy from the After Hours podcast to ask a big question, does sobriety actually make you grow up?They swap stories of peak immaturity, from Vic's 25 year blur of zero self preservation, to Jimmy's wine fuelled, one way escape to Majorca after watching Into the Wild. What felt rebellious and “rock and roll” at the time now looks a lot like avoidance, selfishness, and being emotionally frozen at the age they started drinking.Together they unpack how booze can keep you stuck, convincing you that you're wild and fun, when really you're avoiding responsibility, feelings, and growth. They talk drinking culture, hating sober people in bars, and the slow realisation that maybe the “boring” friends were just maturing.It's honest, funny, and reflective, a reminder that growing up does not mean losing your sense of fun. It means finally caring about yourself enough to change.Find out more about Jimmy and his Podcast here - Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/recovery_jimmyTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@recovery.jimmy?_r=1&_t=ZN-93qNaF7fVBeAfter Hours with Jimmy Thistle https://afterhours.buzzsprout.comAnd you can find all my other links at:https://linktr.ee/jimmythistle

Romans 12: 1-2I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

BABY CHRISTIAN OR MATURE CHRISTIAN? Hebrews 5:12–14 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word ALL OVER AGAIN. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who LIVES ON MILK, BEING STILL AN INFANT, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (NIV) 1. MISUNDERSTANDING MATURITY 1 Peter 2:2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may GROW UP in your salvation, (NIV) SIGNS OF BEING SPIRITUALLY STUCK 1A. INFANTS DEPEND ON OTHERS TO FEED THEM 1B. INFANTS DON’T LISTEN AND APPLY WELL 1C. INFANTS ARE SELF-CENTERED 2. MISPLACED PRIORITIES Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (NIV) 3. MISGUIDED MOTIVATION 4. MISMANAGE SIN 1 Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. (NIV) 5. MISREAD SITUATIONS Hebrews 5:14 1But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of DISCERNMENT trained by constant practice to DISTINGUISH good from evil. (ESV) 5A. THEY STRUGGLE DISCERNING SATAN’S SCHEMES 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. (NIV) 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. (NIV) 1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. (NIV) 5B. THEY STRUGGLE DISCERNING THE VOICE OF GOD John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. (NIV) John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep KNOW ME (NIV) 6. MISS MATURING 6A. MATURITY REQUIRES PRACTICE Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment TRAINED BY CONSTANT PRACTICE to distinguish good from evil. (ESV) James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. (NIV) 6B. MATURITY REQUIRES CORRECTION 1. THE READING OF THE WORD OF GOD CORRECTS THE MATURE 2 Timothy 3:16–17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, REBUKING, CORRECTING, TRAINING in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God  may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (NIV) 2. THE PREACHING OF THE WORD OF GOD CORRECTS THE MATURE 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. (NIV) 3. THE PEOPLE OF GOD CORRECT THE MATURE Proverbs 15:31–32 If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. 32 If you reject discipline, you only HARM YOURSELF; but if you listen to CORRECTION, you GROW in understanding. (NLT) Proverbs 12:1 Whoever LOVES discipline LOVES knowledge, but whoever hates correction is STUPID. (NIV)

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 4Genesis 25:12–18 – The Account of Ishmael's LineAs the book of Genesis continues to narrow from nations to one family, Scripture pauses to record the generations of Ishmael—Abraham's son who was not part of the covenant line, yet still deeply seen and blessed by God.In this episode of CPXL, we explore Genesis 25:12–18 and what Ishmael's genealogy reveals about God's faithfulness to His promises. Though Isaac carries the covenant forward, God does not forget Ishmael. His line grows into twelve princes and a great nation, fulfilling the words God spoke years earlier to Hagar and Abraham.This conversation helps us distinguish between blessing and covenant, showing that while God's purposes are specific, His mercy is wide. Ishmael's story reminds us that God keeps His word—even when human decisions complicate the story—and that His compassion extends beyond the boundaries we often assume.In This Episode:Why Scripture records Ishmael's genealogyHow God fulfills His promises outside the covenant lineThe difference between blessing and covenantWhat Ishmael's story teaches us about God's characterHow this passage shapes the way we view those who feel “outside” the promiseKey Scriptures:Genesis 25:12–18Genesis 16Genesis 17:18–20Genesis 21:13Psalm 145:9As we reflect on God's faithfulness to Ishmael, we're invited to trust God's promises more deeply—and to see others with greater compassion as we continue into the story of Isaac's sons.About CPXLCPXL exists to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries to Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.

Jonah 4: 1-11But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the Lord said, “Do you do well to be angry?”5 Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. 6 Now the Lord God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” 9 But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.” 10 And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

“So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.” (Hebrews 6:1 NLT) As a father and a grandfather, I know from personal experience that babies are a lot of work. For instance, it takes a great deal of effort to teach a baby how to eat. You start with baby food, which presents its own unique set of challenges. And then comes solid food, which must be cut into baby-sized bites. Of course, a baby doesn’t always want to eat, so you must think of creative ways to get the baby to take the food. Children need to learn how to eat their food, cut up their food, and ultimately prepare their food. That’s all part of growing up. The author of Hebrews reframes this idea of growing up in spiritual terms. Many people have never grown up spiritually. They made an initial commitment to Christ but have never really understood what it means to be a totally committed follower of Jesus. In short, they have not responded to what the Bible calls discipleship. This isn’t just a matter of ignoring biblical exhortations such as “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18 NLT). It’s also a matter of missing vital opportunities and life experiences. Think of all the culinary delights you’ve enjoyed since you progressed from baby food to solids. Think of how your palate has changed and matured. Think of all the different tastes you’ve experienced. Think of the many ways you’ve been nourished. The same principle applies to Christian growth. Progressing from spiritual milk to spiritual meat, as described in Hebrews 5:11–14, requires effort and a willingness to stretch, to step outside your comfort zone. But the rewards are more than worth the effort. The Christian life is more than simply saying a prayer of commitment to Christ. It involves following Jesus not only as your Savior but also as your Lord. If your only source of spiritual intake is hearing other people preach sermons, then you will be in a relatively weakened state spiritually. There is a place for teaching and preaching, but you must learn how to cut your own food, so to speak. You must learn how to feed yourself spiritually. Hebrews 6:1 says, “So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God” (NLT). We need to mature as believers and refuse to be spiritual babies forever. We need to grow up to be men and women of God. Reflection question: In what areas do you need to grow spiritually?

The phrase "go west!" was not coined by the Village People or the Pet Shop Boys, but by Horace Greeley, a famous newspaper editor a long time ago. And seen from Europe, all of the United States is West. So that's what Luca Puster tells his young European clients who just finish High School and are considering college: Go west young man, and grow up playing football. Or soccer. How do they find American colleges? What makes them come here, what is attractive about this step in their football and study careers? How do they find the game here, the current crisis around immigration and politics, what do they take back? Luca is the co-founder of Students Go West, an agency that helps bring European footballers into American collegiate soccer programs. He also played for the GAK in Graz, Austria, and for Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: Students Go West, websitePercentages of international players in the top NCAA teams, 2023NEW: send me a text message!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 3:1-4. You can know the verses. You can show up every Sunday. You can love the right teachers. And still act spiritually immature. That's the sting of Paul's words here. He doesn't confront their theology—He confronts their behavior. But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not being merely human? — 1 Corinthians 3:1–4 Paul calls them "infants in Christ," but not because they're new believers—because their actions don't match their knowledge. First | Spiritual immaturity always leaks into relationships. The evidence? Things like: Jealousy. Quarreling. Sides. Comparison. People pretending to be grown adults with playground reactions. Paul says their arguments proved they were being driven by the flesh—by insecurity, pride, and ego—not the Spirit. Second | You can be saved and still stay small. Their tribalism wasn't loyalty—it was immaturity wrapped in religious language. "Paul is my teacher." "No, Apollos is my teacher." We still do this today. Church Camps. Christian Labels. Believing Tribes. Spiritual Comparison. But spiritual maturity sounds different. Third | Mature believers stop asking, "Whose side am I on?" and start asking, "Where do I need to grow?" When you are actively growing in Christ, you stop fueling unneeded fights. You stop competing for the sake of competing. You stop needing validation for your position and side. You become the stable one—the person who brings peace into tension. That is what maturity and growth look like. Focus on how to strengthen your faith instead of creating unnecessary division. DO THIS: Think of a conflict you've been pulled toward. Step back today and choose unity over taking a side. ASK THIS: Where do jealousy or comparison show up in your relationships? Do your reactions look fleshly or Spirit-led when tension rises? What does maturity look like for you right now? PRAY THIS: Jesus, grow me into maturity. Silence pride, kill comparison, and help me choose unity wherever I go. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Build My Life"

Jan. 28, 2026 - Believers Grow UpPastor Ed Taylor1 John 2:12-14 | Study #162101 JOHN

In Numbers 32, two and a half tribes of Israel chose to settle for less than God's best, staying in familiar territory instead of entering the Promised Land. They chose their cattle over Canaan, representing how we often choose comfort over God's calling. The cattle in our lives might be jobs, relationships, money, or anything familiar that keeps us from pursuing God's abundant plan. When we settle for good enough instead of God's best, we not only limit ourselves but also impact future generations. God calls us to cross over from the wilderness of mediocrity into the promised land of supernatural living, where His presence and power transform ordinary life into extraordinary purpose.

In this episode, Dr. Kibby breaks down the psychology behind the "Man-Child Syndrome," when men stay emotionally immature and avoid real responsibility.Do you know a grown man who clearly wants to stay a boy forever? Maybe he's fun, charismatic, adventurous and creative but...he runs away from adulthood. He's afraid of commitment, avoids responsibilities, and expects everyone else to take care of him. If so, you're familiar with the Man-Child Syndrome.Dr. Kibby analyzes the "Man-Child" (also called the "Peter Pan Syndrome") and discusses the tell-tale signs of a man-child, what's underneath the boyish behavior, and how psychological theories explain why he refuses to grow up. At the core of this type of toxic immaturity is the avoidance of the hardships of adult life: the tedious work of building a career, the mundane problems of a serious relationship, and the pain of going out of our comfort zones. The Man-Child runs away from any limitations to his freedom and fun, but that usually means he's taking advantage of someone in the process.This episode also discusses how the Man-Child syndrome is a growing form of narcissism: Men lost in fantasies, too special to suffer like ordinary people, and avoidant of accountability. All of these tendencies point to traits of narcissistic personality disorder, even if it's hard to spot at first.If you're struggling with a man-child and need support, check out KulaMind for real skills and community for dealing with this toxic relationship. Tell us in the comments what you think of the "Man-Child Syndrome"!

What is it truly like for children growing up in divorced families? In this episode, I sit down with Bella Duncan, creator of A Kid With Two Homes, who gives us a rare and honest perspective on divorce from the child's point of view. Now an adult, Bella reflects on her own experiences and sheds light on the challenges kids often navigate silently when moving between two households. We dive into the real, everyday experiences children face, including why birthdays and holidays can feel complicated, the pressure of loyalty conflicts, adjusting to different rules and routines, and how assumptions and resentment can quietly shape their feelings. Bella also shares the unexpected skills kids develop—like organization and decision-making—and how self-awareness and resilience can help them feel seen and supported. Whether you're a parent, co-parent, or professional working with children of divorce, this episode offers insight into what kids really wish adults understood and practical ways we can do better. Bella's reflections are honest, relatable, and ultimately hopeful—reminding us that even in the middle of family transitions, children's voices matter.
