Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! We are in Week 3 of our series, "GLITCH: Being Human in a Machine World." This week, host Matt Summers and Phil EuBank are joined by a special guest: Paul, co-founder of Faith Work and Tech. In an episode titled "Hardware Crash," the three of them dive into the very real, physical nature of burnout. Living and working in the Bay Area, it's incredibly easy to operate as if we are just a "brain in a jar," ignoring our hardware (our physical bodies) to constantly serve our software (our productivity, careers, and output). But as we see in the story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 19, when you crash hard, God doesn't send a software update or a productivity hack. Sometimes, the most spiritual thing you can do is take a nap and eat a snack.

Love is everywhere in Christian talk, but John forces a harder question: what if real love is not something we produce, but something that proves where we're living? We lean into John's intense focus on Agape, the divine love that starts in God, forms us as the beloved, and then moves outward as a natural overflow rather than a strained performance.We read slowly through 1 John 4:7-12, 19, and sit with the line that reorders everything: “We love because he first loved us.” From there, we trace how John frames love as communal and concrete, especially for a church under stress. The call is not private self-improvement; it is “let us love one another,” a shared practice that becomes visible evidence that God dwells within a people.Then we move to John 13:34-35, where Jesus sets a breathtaking standard: "love one another as I have loved you." John insists the world recognizes discipleship through love, not through doctrine debates, church programs, or moral scorekeeping. We also look at the early church pattern of generosity, unity, and endurance, and ask the better question: how do we abide in the love that produces that kind of life?We close with a simple contemplative practice focused on one difficult relationship, naming the difference between the Protective Self and the Beloved Self.

In an episode titled "Infinite Loop," they tackle the exhausting reality of anxiety and why relying on our intellect to solve our emotional struggles often leaves us stuck buffering.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, hosts Matt Summers and Phil EuBank kick off our brand-new series, "GLITCH: Being Human in a Machine World," with an episode titled "Fatal Error." Living in the Bay Area, we are surrounded by a culture that demands constant optimization—from our schedules to our sleep to our diets. Yet, despite having all the right "life hacks," anxiety is at an all-time high. Why? Because we are trying to run an infinite soul on a finite operating system, and we are crashing. This episode is an invitation to stop debugging your life and start actually living it.

If you've ever wondered whether God's love changes when your life gets messy, Paul has an answer that doesn't flinch. We walk through a powerful thread running across Romans, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians: God doesn't start with “try harder.” He starts with identity. You are already beloved, and that “already” becomes the ground for how you live, how you endure suffering, and how you love people when it costs you something.We spend time in Romans 8:35-39 to name the fear so many of us carry that trouble, loss, spiritual warfare, or our own failures might separate us from God's Agape. Then we talk about the Protective Self, the part of us shaped by wounds, culture, and our environment that whispers we have to prove our worth, earn rescue, or keep control. Paul's logic cuts through all of it: nothing can sever the connection between the Beloved and the Love that holds them.From there, we move into Ephesians 3:17-19, where Paul prays that we may be rooted and grounded in love and able to grasp the width, length, height, and depth of Christ's love, even when it surpasses knowledge. We connect that to stillness, the secret place, and a simple way to stop living from constant doing. Finally, we revisit 1 Corinthians 13 as more than a wedding reading: it becomes a diagnostic for scorekeeping, envy, pride, and self-seeking, and a vision of what Agape looks like when it flows from our Agapetos identity in Christ.Which “Protective Self” whisper do you most want God's Agape to silence?Subscribe for more Christian teaching on Agape, spiritual formation, and identity in Christ.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, host Matt Summers and Phil EuBank sit down to reflect on a truly special standalone weekend across our campuses: Baptism Weekend. Whether faith feels deeply familiar to you, totally unfamiliar, or honestly a little complicated right now, we hope this conversation meets you right where you are. We're diving deeper into the weekend message, looking at baptism not just as a church tradition or a religious box to check, but through the epic biblical story of Joshua 3 and 4. Israel is standing on the edge of a promise, facing a flood-stage river, and stuck in the heavy tension of "almost."
Mortgage rates may be headed back toward 7% — but why?Today on The Rate Update, we're breaking down what is happening with mortgage rates, oil prices, Iran, bond yields, the 10-Year Treasury, and the bigger question every homebuyer and homeowner is asking right now:Are rates going higher again — and what should you do next?We'll connect the dots between global headlines and your actual mortgage payment, including:• Why oil prices matter to mortgage rates• How Iran/geopolitical risk can affect inflation fears• Why bond yields and the 10-Year Treasury are moving• What this means for homebuyers watching affordability• What homeowners should know if they're waiting to refinance• How to monitor rates instead of guessingIf you're buying a home, refinancing, or trying to understand where mortgage rates may go next, this show is built for you.LIVE weekdays at 9:00 AM Central Time.No hype. Just real data.
Are you shopping for a mortgage rate the wrong way?Most homebuyers are told to “shop around” for mortgage rates — so they go to Bankrate, LendingTree, or other online rate sites, enter their information, compare teaser rates, and hope they're getting the best deal.But the lowest advertised mortgage rate is not always the best mortgage deal.In this video, I take you behind the scenes and show how we compare your loan across 30+ lenders using one application and one credit pull — instead of sending your information all over the internet.We break down why mortgage rates vary based on credit score, down payment, income, loan program, property type, and whether you qualify for affordable mortgage programs. I also show examples comparing Conventional, FHA, and VA loan options so you can see why the “best rate” depends on your full financial picture — not just one advertised number online.You'll also see how points, lender fees, and hidden costs can make a low rate much more expensive than it looks.In this video, we cover:✅ How we compare your loan to 30+ lenders✅ Why one application and one credit pull matters✅ Why online mortgage quotes can be misleading✅ Why points and fees matter as much as the rate✅ How credit score impacts mortgage pricing✅ Conventional vs. FHA vs. VA loan examples✅ How RateWatch 2.2 can track refinance savings✅ How to upload your Loan Estimate for a second opinion

A lot of people say they want an “Acts church,” but Acts doesn't describe a brand or a building. It describes a community where Agape becomes visible, where God's grace works so deeply in us that Agapao starts to move through us. We start with Pentecost and then slow down in Acts 4:32–35, listening for the clues Luke gives: one heart and mind, shared resources, powerful witness to the resurrection, and a shocking result there are no needy persons among them.From there, we get practical about what that kind of Christian community means today. I talk about why this isn't just “tithes and offerings,” and why generosity collapses when our identity is fragile. When we're rooted in belovedness, possessions lose their grip. When we live from the protective self, we accumulate, store, and build hedges because we're trying to feel secure. This is also where we name the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why guilt and shame are not God's voice.Then we move to Acts 11 and Antioch, where Agape crosses comfort zones. Scattered believers speak to Greeks, Barnabas recognizes the grace of God at work, Saul is brought back into the story, and disciples are first called Christians in a diverse community. A famine prophecy becomes a test of love in action (Agapao), and the church responds with concrete help for brothers and sisters in Judea.If you're hungry for spiritual formation, identity in Christ, and a church that meets real needs, press play.

99% chance of NO Fed rate cut?In today's video, we break down why the Federal Reserve may not be ready to cut interest rates — even though homebuyers, homeowners, and the housing market are all waiting for relief.The big issue: the economy is still too strong, inflation is still too sticky, and the Fed does not want to cut too early and risk reigniting inflation.That matters because the Fed does NOT directly set mortgage rates — but Fed policy, inflation, the 10-Year Treasury, and mortgage bonds all help drive where mortgage rates move next.So if you're waiting for mortgage rates to drop before buying a home or refinancing, this is the data you need to understand.Watch here:https://youtu.be/mXfhEySRie8
Mortgage Rates Just Hit a Critical Week — Jobs, Inflation & What Buyers Should Expect Next
Oil is dropping — and that could be a big deal for mortgage rates.In today's Rate Update, we're looking at why oil prices matter so much for homebuyers and homeowners watching mortgage rates.Oil is one of the biggest inflation pressure points in the economy. When oil spikes, inflation fears can rise, bond yields can move higher, and mortgage rates can feel the pressure. But when oil starts falling, the opposite can happen — inflation pressure may cool, bonds may improve, and mortgage rates may get some relief.Mortgage rates dropped yesterday, and now the big question is whether this is the start of a bigger move lower or just a short-term reaction.Today we're watching oil, the 10-Year Treasury, mortgage-backed securities, jobs data, and the broader market reaction.If oil keeps sliding back toward the $60–$65 range, mortgage rates may have room to follow lower. But if jobs data comes in too strong or inflation pressure stays sticky, that could slow down the move.For homebuyers, this is why preparation matters. For homeowners, this is why tracking refinance opportunities matters. The market can move quickly — and understanding what drives mortgage rates can help you make better decisions.CHAPTERS00:00 Mortgage rates are reacting to oil00:42 Why oil matters for mortgage rates01:35 Oil prices are falling02:28 The inflation connection homeowners need to understand03:20 Mortgage rates dropped yesterday04:05 Can rates move back toward the high-5s?05:05 Today's economic data to watch06:00 Jobs, claims, payrolls, and bond market reaction07:05 What homebuyers should do right now08:00 What homeowners watching refinance rates should know08:40 Final takeaway: watch oil, bonds, and rates
