What if the thing you have been avoiding is actually the thing you were made for?In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby close out the "Us" series by unpacking the conviction statement "great people serve people." The team confronts the consumerist mindset that keeps Christians on the sidelines, shares the story of a 25-year-old man who had never had anyone believe in him enough to invite him into ministry, and breaks down why serving is not an optional add-on but a stewardship responsibility every believer will one day answer for. James drops one of the most convicting lines of the episode: if you are currently serving in a role where you do not need God to show up, you should serve in a different role.If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right time, the right role, or the right invitation, this episode is your invitation to stop watching and start doing the thing you were made for.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.To help support this mission and work, visit https://www.mycpcc.com/giveTo learn more about all of our locations or what is coming up at Crosspoint City, check out https://www.crosspointcity.com/ or follow us on your favorite social platform @CrosspointCity

What if the reason you keep missing the people right in front of you has nothing to do with how much you care and everything to do with how fast you are moving? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckabee unpack the Parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10 and confront the uncomfortable truth that busyness has become the most accepted excuse for walking past people in need. The team gets personal with stories of moments they almost missed, digs into why we wear busyness like a badge of honor, and draws the line between a full life and a hurried life. They also explore what the Greek word for compassion actually means, why real compassion always costs you something, and what it looks like to build a life with enough margin to see the divine appointments God is putting in your path every single day. If you have been so busy doing good things that you keep missing the best thing right in front of you, this episode is going to change the way you see your calendar and the people around you.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus. To help support this mission and work, visit https://www.mycpcc.com/giveTo learn more about all of our locations or what is coming up at Crosspoint City, check out https://www.crosspointcity.com/ or follow us on your favorite social platform ‪@CrosspointCity

What if the thing keeping you from experiencing real purpose and joy has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with a lie you have been believing your whole life? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby unpack the conviction statement "We're All in Full Time Ministry" and confront the deeply rooted idea that ministry is reserved for pastors and missionaries. The conversation traces where that divide came from historically, why we keep drifting back to it, and what changes when you start seeing your workplace, your school, and your neighborhood as the mission fields they actually are. They also go there on why ministry is hardest at home, the spiritual war being waged against your family, and what it looks like to start leading even if you feel like you have already missed your window. If you have been sitting in the seats waiting for someone else to do the work, this episode will wreck that thinking in the best way possible.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

What does it look like when the thing you refuse to let go of is the very thing keeping you from growing? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby tackle the topic most people squirm at: money and generosity. The conversation addresses common pushback on tithing and giving to the church, unpacks why Jesus identified money as the rival to God on the throne of your heart, and explores how generosity is not something mature Christians eventually get around to but the very thing that will unlock your next step of spiritual growth. If you have been holding back in this area, this episode will challenge you to open your hands and trust God with what was never yours to begin with.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Giving changes people. 

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Francesco Forconi and Bin Guo on their latest articles published in Blood. Dr. Guo shares insights from "Nucleoplasmic ZNF467 condensates boost hematopoietic stem cell engraftment via ICAM1-mediated mechanical reprogramming". The findings establish biomechanical regulation as an important determinant of stem cell identity and reveal new strategies for engineering stem cells with enhanced regenerative capacity. Then, Dr. Forconi discusses "DC-SIGN binding to the surface immunoglobulin oligomannose-type glycans promotes follicular lymphoma cell adhesion and survival". Persistent, low-level BCR engagement by DC-SIGN enables FL tissue retention and survival while avoiding the deleterious proapoptotic consequences of stronger, conventional antigen-driven BCR signaling. These findings help explain how FL cells exploit their microenvironmental niche.

What happens when your whole world falls apart and you have to keep going? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin and Ainsley Huckaby sit down with Courtney Pray Duke, author of And She Got Up: Shattered by Loss, Restored by Jesus. Courtney shares her story of losing her husband Andrew in a sudden bicycle accident the day before Thanksgiving and having to tell her three young children their daddy was with Jesus. The conversation tackles what real surrender looks like when your worst fear becomes your reality, why we need the church more than we think we do, and how God's Word became the lifeline that carried her through. If you're walking through something hard right now, this episode will remind you that you were never meant to carry it by yourself.Buy 'And She Got Up' - https://mycpcc.com/ASGUSubscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Is it too late for me to start over? It's the question almost everyone asks themselves at some point, whether it's about a marriage, an addiction, a regret, or a relationship with God.

Where do you run when life falls apart? In this episode of The Pursuit, Pastor James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby dig into Matthew 17 and unpack what a desperate father's impossible situation teaches us about faith, suffering, and where we turn when we're out of options. They explore why God allows hard things, why faithlessness frustrates Jesus, and what it actually means to trust God versus just agreeing with him. James gets personal about his daughter Arden's heart defect and what that season taught him about clinging to hope when God doesn't answer the way you wanted.

We believe our God is forever faithful and with him all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). Therefore, we will be a people of faith, refusing to dream small dreams or pray safe prayers. We will take risks, bank our lives on God's promises, and be confident in his ability to do abundantly more than we can ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20).

In this week's episode, Blood podcast editor Dr. James Griffin interviews authors Drs. Steffen Boettcher and Robert Zeiser on their recent publications in Blood. Dr. Boettcher discusses "Bone marrow failure, somatic rescue by p53 inactivation, and enhanced leukemogenesis in germ line ERCC6L2 disease", which provides insights to disease evolution by demonstrating that p53 loss can rescue BMF phenotypes caused by biallelic mutations in ERCC6L2, but at the cost of profound genome instability, increasing DNA damage and leading to the onset of aggressive erythroid leukemia. Dr. Zeiser discusses "Gastrin for the treatment of acute graft-versus-host-disease of the stomach", which delineates the protective role of gastrin in aGVHD of the stomach in mice and patients and provides a rationale for therapeutic use of pentagastrin in a clinical trial for patients with aGVHD.

Can you really stay neutral about Jesus? In this episode of The Pursuit, Pastor James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ainsley Huckaby dig into Acts 5 and unpack why neutrality is never actually an option when it comes to Jesus. We'll explore why people resist things that are clearly good, how jealousy and pride drive people to protect what they've built, and what it looks like when confirmation bias keeps someone from accepting the evidence right in front of them. They also walk through some of the most compelling evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. If you've been sitting on the fence about Jesus, this episode is for you. Not deciding is deciding. Liar, lunatic, or Lord are the only real options.

Human opposition cannot stop God's mission. The resurrected Jesus proves that God's purposes will prevail.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Ansley Huckaby, and Carlos Fernandez dig into Acts 5 and the story of Ananias and Sapphira, unpacking one of the most sobering passages in the New Testament. The conversation confronts the reality that division in the church is not just a relational problem, it is a spiritual one. James and Carlos explore how Satan uses disunity to destroy the mission of the church, what it actually looks like to be a divisive person, and how the relationships you run with will shape the direction of your life. They also get practical about dating, marriage, work, and friendship, and what it means to set healthy boundaries without abandoning the people you love.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Satan hates a unified church and uses people to threaten it. God takes these threats seriously and will take extreme measures to destroy them.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby unpack Acts 4, where Peter and John face opposition from the Sanhedrin and are commanded to never speak about Jesus again. Instead of caving to pressure and going silent, they prayed for boldness. The conversation explores how we're living in a "negative world" where society views Christianity as a threat, why staying silent is so dangerous, how to see opponents as captured by the enemy rather than as enemies themselves, and what it means to hold both boldness and compassion together like Jesus did.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

What's the key to standing strong in the face of opposition? We need Bibles, backbones, and broken hearts.

In this week's episode of the Blood podcast, editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Christian Gorzelanny and Rebecca Leaf on their latest articles published in this week's issue of Blood. Dr. Gorzelanny discusses compelling evidence for a new mechanism that amplifies their proinflammatory actions in "Lipid nanotubes unmask neutrophils for complement attack", demonstrating the pathological role of this process in a range of inflammatory disorders in order to stimulate intense study of how to regulate nanotube formation for therapeutic benefit. In "Immune thrombocytopenia in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors" Dr. Leaf and colleagues define the incidence, clinical features, and outcomes of ICI-induced immune thrombocytopenia. Showing that ICI-induced immune thrombocytopenia is associated with excess mortality, these data should provide an impetus to greater recognition and to protocolization of effective interventions.

Recorded live at Woven Women Conference, this conversation with author and podcaster Annie F. Downs is one you'll want to share. James Griffin and Ansley Huckaby sit down with Annie to talk about the fears that quietly keep us from the life we actually want — the "what ifs" that show up at 2am, the gossip that's killing community before it even starts, and why worship might be the most underrated weapon you have against anxiety. Annie also pulls back the curtain on her podcast That Sounds Fun and its new 18-month theme Spiritually Stronger, and what it looks like to build real spiritual muscle in a world you cannot control.

When someone shuts down the moment you push back on what they believe, it's not random — there's actually a psychological reason for it. In this episode, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Carlos Fernandez break down why so many conversations go sideways the moment truth enters the room, what motivated reasoning is and why it makes people combative instead of curious, and how Christians can stop trying to win arguments and start actually winning people.

You are Barabbas. In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody walk through Peter's sermon in Acts 2 and 3, unpacking the Barabbas exchange and what it really means that Jesus took the cross reserved for a murderer. The conversation goes deep on penal substitutionary atonement, why we struggle to believe God actually forgives us even when we're confident he forgives others, and the critical difference between Holy Spirit conviction and shame from the enemy.They also tackle why so many believers keep fishing up what God has already cast into the ocean, what repentance actually looks like versus self-improvement, and why the prodigal son story might be the most important thing you read this week.If this episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Jacob Whitehead, and Carlos Fernandez tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian faith: if God can heal, why doesn't He always do it? Diving into Acts 3 and the story of a man healed, the guys get personal, sharing real stories of praying for miracles that never came, wrestling with God's silence, and what faith actually looks like when the answer is no.This is an honest, vulnerable conversation about unanswered prayer, suffering, and why you can still trust God even when He doesn't do what you asked.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes168To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin sits down with pastor and church planter Rob Wilton to unpack Acts 2:42–47 and what it truly means to be a spirit-filled church. The conversation goes beyond the surface of a popular passage to explore what genuine devotion to God's Word looks like in a screen-saturated, post-Christian culture.Rob and James discuss the difference between the church gathered and the church scattered, why community is non-negotiable for the Christian life, whether signs and wonders still have a place in the local church today, and how biblical generosity is nothing like socialism. The episode closes with a compelling challenge: what would it look like if the local church pursued a day-by-day movement of salvation — not just a big Sunday moment?Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes167To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

You killed Jesus. And until you feel the weight of that, you'll never fully understand the gospel.In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody unpack Acts 2 and Peter's confronting sermon on the Day of Pentecost where 3,000 people were baptized in a single day. But before the celebration came the conviction: "You crucified and killed him by the hands of lawless men."If you've been defending your sin instead of repenting from it, or if you've never taken that next step of obedience, this episode will cut to the heart just like Peter's message did 2,000 years ago.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes166To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Paresh Vyas and Andrew Hantel on their research published in this week's issue of Blood. Dr. Vyas discusses his paper, "Rapid clonal selection within early hematopoietic cell compartments presages outcome to ivosidenib combination therapy", which provided new insights as to when and how to intervene to circumvent resistance to AML remission. Dr. Hantel will speak about his paper, "Impact of Modernizing Eligibility Criteria on Enrollment and Representation in AML Clinical Trials". For a real-world cohort of more than 2200 patients with AML, they reported that modernized, safety-based criteria could nearly double trial eligibility, with especially pronounced gains among historically underserved groups.  Both studies highlight how biologic insight and thoughtful trial design can drive more effective, inclusive advances in AML treatment and research. 

Quick note before today's episode: the winter storms last week threw off our production schedule, so we're re-airing a conversation that took place during our 2024 Act Like Men Conference and really resonated with a lot of you when it first aired. If you're interested in joining us for our 2026 Act Like Men Conference, you can learn more and register at https://www.actlikemenconference.org/2026 . We'll be back next week with new content, but we think this one is definitely worth revisiting. In this episode from 2024, James sits down with Jase Robertson to talk faith, family and biblical manhood.

Are you truly waiting on God—or just afraid to take the next step?In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody wrestle with one of the most misunderstood ideas in the Christian life: waiting on God. In a culture shaped by instant gratification and constant distraction, many believers confuse waiting with passivity, prayer with avoidance, and fear with faith.Through the lens of Acts 1, the conversation exposes how often Christians delay obedience while claiming they're “still praying about it.” The team unpacks why God often uses waiting seasons to prepare us, how obedience doesn't require full clarity, and why prayer is meant to empower action—not replace it.You'll hear honest discussion about fear, insecurity, delayed obedience, and what it looks like to put your “yes” on the table before God ever gives you the details. If you feel stuck, uncertain, or hesitant to move forward in your faith, this episode will challenge you to stop stalling and start trusting.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes164To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Why do so many Christians hesitate to speak up about their faith even when they know the gospel is true?In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Carlos Fernandez unpack the real reason believers stay silent and it's not a lack of knowledge. Walking through Acts 1, they discuss how fear, comfort, and distraction quietly undermine the mission Jesus gave His church, and why boldness was never meant to come from personality, confidence, or preparation alone.This conversation challenges the idea that sharing your faith is about having all the answers and points instead to the Holy Spirit as the true source of courage. You'll hear why obedience matters more than outcomes, how everyday life is your mission field, and what it looks like to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start living on mission right where you are.If you've ever felt anxious, unqualified, or unsure about speaking up for Jesus, this episode will reframe the pressure and remind you where real boldness actually comes from.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes163To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Jesus didn't save His followers to sit still or stay silent—He sent them. In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody walk through the opening of the book of Acts to challenge the idea that faith is meant to stay private and explore what it truly means to live as a “sent one” in everyday life. They unpack why so many believers feel stuck, exhausted, or hesitant to speak about their faith, how relying on our own strength leads to burnout instead of boldness, and why the Holy Spirit is essential for living on mission. If you've ever wondered whether you're advancing God's mission or quietly retreating, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how your faith shows up in the world.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes162To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

In this episode of The Pursuit, we're tackling the hidden battle almost everyone is losing and most people never talk about. James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Carlos Fernandez open up about the secret struggles that are quietly shaping hearts, damaging relationships, and isolating believers in shame. You may think this is just a behavior problem, but Jesus says it goes much deeper: it's a heart issue that only He can heal.We break down why this battle is so hard to win, how culture is discipling us without us noticing, and what happens when we finally bring our struggles into the light. More importantly, we walk through the path to real freedom — cutting off the source, clinging to Jesus, calling on the Spirit, and coming out of hiding. If you're tired of fighting alone, this episode is for you. Freedom is possible. You just don't find it in the dark.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes159To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Most people don't realize they're drifting spiritually until the damage is already done. In this episode, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Will Goodwin unpack how “small” compromises slowly shape your desires and open the door to bigger sins.

You'll learn how habits, motives, craving, fasting, and gratitude all form the deeper battle beneath the surface. If you're tired of feeling controlled by your desires, this conversation will help you reclaim wisdom, self-control, and joy in Christ.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes158To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.
