Are you secretly exhausted from trying to get an "A" in your spiritual life?In this laugh-filled reunion on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach welcomes back theological researcher and spiritual director Jessica Morris to dismantle the performance-driven engines of modern devotion. Together, they dive into Luke 9:23 to help you trade the legalistic courtroom of religious perfectionism for the effortless living room of grace. Pull up a chair to learn how to drop the burden of striving, step into a continuous spiritual flow, and find radical peace by unsubscribing from urgency.Key Conversation Breakthroughs: The Mirror of Spiritual Direction: We break down the quiet mystery of holding space, revealing why a spiritual director isn't there to fix your behavior but to help you drop your guard and rest in the Father's presence. Balancing Trauma Excavation with Grace: We wrestle with inner healing, sharing how to prevent deep soul-work and "dying to self" from becoming a performance-based chore, anchoring you in wholeness instead. Moving from Broken Cisterns to Absolute Peace: When people inevitably fail us, we explore how to anchor your inner stability solely in the unshakeable nature of Jesus. The Paradigm Shift: From "Use" to "Flow": We challenge the idea of being a tool "used" by God, shifting instead to a blueprint of becoming open channels for the Holy Spirit to flow through effortlessly. Luke 9:23 and Your True I Amness: Leaning into the Mirror Translation, we explore the liberating truth that His cross is your cross—fully finished so self-effort can finally stall out. Jesus Isn't Grading Your Faith: Jessica shares a personal story that shatters her own religious scorecard, offering the profound relief that God isn't grading your performance. Unsubscribing from Urgency: (Music Video) We unpack a live testimony from a recovery circle that redefines what it means to live in the "now." Learn how to identify frantic timelines as a trauma response and step firmly into the unhurried timing of a gentleman Savior.
The conversation explores the uniqueness of Christianity, emphasizing God's pursuit of humanity, the nature of worldviews, the theological nature of every person, the direction of Christianity, the identity of Jesus, and the significance of the resurrection. It highlights the distinction between sincerity and truth, the centrality of Christ in Christianity, and the invitation to trust in Him.TakeawaysChristianity begins with God pursuing humanityEvery worldview attempts to answer fundamental questionsSincerity does not create truthChristianity is the story of God pursuing sinful people through the life, death, and resurrection of his sonBiblical faith is confidence placed in someone who has proven himself trustworthyChapters00:00 What Makes Christianity Different?05:24 The Nature of Worldviews06:22 The Theological Nature of Every Person18:29 The Direction of Christianity29:14 The Identity of Jesus36:39 The Resurrection
Authors and lead pastors of The Village Church Matt and Lauren Chandler join Sadie and Christian to dig into marriage, healing, and the long, slow work of becoming more like Jesus. They share how the hardest years of their marriage became a turning point when they stopped trying to fix each other and started letting God heal what was broken in them. Matt also opens up about why following Jesus doesn't always look like winning, and Sadie gets real about calling, comparison, boldness, and learning to be faithful without trying to copy someone else. https://drinklmnt.com/whoa — Get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase https://drinkag1.com/whoa — get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1 Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Knowing "about" Jesus vs KNOWING JESUS are two very different things. Most Christians think that saying the sinner's prayer buys them fire insurance for hell and that they're good for life.

Have you ever believed the right things about Jesus but still struggled to experience a life that reflects Him? In Luke 9, the Transfiguration reveals Jesus as the Son of God, the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and the only One worthy of our complete trust and devotion. In this message, George Terry explores one of the most profound moments in the Gospel of Luke, showing that recognizing who Jesus truly is is more than an intellectual belief. It is an invitation to build your entire life around Him. When we behold His glory, our hearts are transformed, our faith becomes personal, and we are sent to live and proclaim the gospel with confidence.• Jesus is the complete and final revelation of God, greater than every prophet and worthy of our worship.• Real faith moves beyond knowing facts about Jesus to personally trusting Him and surrendering every area of life to His authority.• Encountering the glory of Christ transforms us and compels us to faithfully proclaim the gospel, even when it requires sacrifice.Key Scriptures:Luke 9:28–36Luke 9:18–272 Corinthians 3:18Hebrews 1:1–3John 14:7–9How is Jesus inviting you to move from simply knowing about Him to truly following Him? Spend time this week listening to His voice through Scripture and asking Him to transform your heart. If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs to be reminded of who Jesus really is.Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | George Terry | June 7, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Jesus didn't call people to casually admire Him. He called them to follow Him. In this message through Luke 9, Pastor Alan McBrayer walks through three different responses people had to Jesus: the committed, the curious, and those still considering Him. Through the disciples, Herod, and the feeding of the 5,000, we see what it truly means to know Jesus deeply, trust Him fully, and follow Him faithfully. This message challenges us to define our relationship with Jesus honestly. Are we fully committed, simply curious, or still deciding what we believe? Following Jesus requires tested faith, authentic pursuit, and a willingness to minister to others even when it costs us something.• Following Jesus well starts with truly knowing Him, not just knowing about Him• Jesus uses seasons of testing to teach us complete dependence on Him• Real faith moves from curiosity to commitment and responsibilityKey Scriptures:Luke 9:1-17Jeremiah 29:13Matthew 10:1-14John 6Wherever you are in your relationship with Jesus, take the next step toward Him today. Ask God to move you from curiosity to commitment and from comfort to trust. If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs to hear it.Bayou City Fellowship Tomball Campus | Alan McBrayer | May 24, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
Despite his promises, Josh Hawley's vision of masculinity and masculine virtue is not “Christian” in any definable way. But while this may be surprising, given his Christian nationalist credentials, it actually serves the interests of his ideology not to be distinctly Christian? In what senses? What can be gained by ensuring that claims to “Christian masculinity” aren't actually Christian? Join Dan for this week's episode as he explains.

Jesus is not a Republican. Jesus is not a Democrat. And if we try to force Him into either box, we misunderstand the Gospel entirely.In this episode, we break down the Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17) and what it reveals about one of the biggest problems in the Church today: Catholics dividing Jesus into political ideologies.One year after the death of Pope Francis and one year into the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV, tensions among American Catholics are still high. From debates about immigration, social teaching, and the “order of love,” to disagreements between political leaders and Church authority, many Catholics are asking:
Most men don't reject Jesus—they reshape Him.In this conversation with Kyle Idleman, we unpack what it really means to follow Jesus as Messiah and King, not just Savior.If your faith feels shallow, comfortable, or disconnected from real life… this might be why.Mentioned in today's Episode:- Dad Tired One Dy Conferences - Attend the Annual Retreat- Become a Dad Tired Partner- Shop the Dad Tired Store- Cozy Earth BOGO: DADTIREDBOGO- Kyle's new book
A woman sick for 12 years. A man paralyzed for 38. A thief taking his last breaths on a cross. Jesus met every single one of them—and none of them were too far gone. This Easter, we look at one of the most remarkable moments in Scripture: a dying criminal with no good works, no religious record, and no time left—who walked into paradise the same day he met Jesus. If you've ever felt like you've waited too long, fallen too far, or used up your last chance, this message is for you. He is risen—and that changes everything.
Some people just want to try a little bit of Jesus. As though Christianity was one of the dishes at a religion buffet. “Give me just a small scoop of that. I just want to bring a smile to my face, not a change to my heart.” But when we truly invite Jesus in, He’ll make us new people, head to toe, free from the chains of our past.

If your dog goes to heaven, will she see Jesus as a dog? Kaitlyn and Mike explore what the Bible actually says about animals, God's care for creation, and whether the pets we love might be part of the new creation. They tackle why Jesus became human and why that particular, embodied humanity still matters today. The conversation leads to a bigger question many adults quietly assume: is Jesus whoever we want him to be?

In this message of our "Truth Bombs" series, we tackle the human tendency to rebel against authority—especially when that authority requires something from us. Whether it's grumbling at a referee from the sidelines or dismissing a doctor's tough advice, we often respect a title only until it challenges our own control.Drawing from Luke 20, we look at the moment religious leaders challenged Jesus' authority. Jesus responded by dropping a massive "truth bomb" regarding the identity of the Messiah. By quoting King David in Psalm 110, Jesus revealed that the Messiah isn't just a political hero or a distant descendant; He is Lord, existing above and before even the greatest kings.The core of this message challenges the modern trend of shrinking Jesus down to a "life coach," a motivational speaker, or a "wish-granter". As the source notes, "If Jesus is only helpful, then you'll stay in control. But if Jesus is Lord, that means that you are not". When we truly acknowledge Him as Lord, it moves us beyond "looking for tips" and into a life of total surrender and repentance.Key Takeaways from the Sermon:• The Problem with "Helpful" Jesus: Why viewing Jesus as merely a resource for your own goals keeps you in the driver's seat and misses the point of the Gospel.• Authority vs. Accountability: Understanding why we often "smile and nod" at Jesus' titles until He calls us to change our lives.• The Trap of Self-Righteousness: A look at the "teachers of the law" who valued religious showmanship over honest repentance.• The Religion of Recognition vs. The Lord Who Saves: Choosing between a faith based on our own achievements and a Savior who descended to wash feet and die for our sins.Ultimately, Jesus doesn't want to just "renew your mind"; He wants to blow up the lies in your heart so that He can take His rightful place as King of your life!
What if the hardest parts of following Jesus are the parts we don't put in the pamphlet? In Luke 14, Jesus turns to a large crowd and delivers a message that would shrink most churches today. He doesn't promise comfort. He doesn't promise ease. Instead, He tells them to count the cost. In this sermon, Matthew Balentine walks through one of the most challenging teachings of Jesus: What does it mean to “hate” father and mother? Why does Jesus call us to carry our cross? What does counted-cost commitment look like? Why unfinished faith is more dangerous than we think How we subtly treat Jesus like an add-on instead of King Too often, we want our life… and Jesus. Our schedule… and Jesus. Our priorities… and Jesus. But Jesus doesn't accept a supporting role. He takes the throne. This message challenges us to examine whether we are worshiping the blessings more than the Blesser, whether we are following the crowd or surrendering fully, and whether Jesus truly holds first place in our lives. If you've ever wrestled with divided priorities, spiritual complacency, church hurt, or the real cost of commitment, this episode will push you toward deeper discipleship and lasting joy. Scripture: Luke 14:25–33 Speaker: Matthew Balentine Ninth Avenue Church of Christ Take inventory of your life. What are you holding on to that needs to be laid down?
What if the hardest path in your life is actually the right one?In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack the biblical, psychological, and practical meaning of the narrow road—and why so many people misunderstand it.Using Scripture, real-world examples, and powerful analogies, the conversation reframes the narrow road not as religious restriction, but as God's process for transformation. The broad road promises clarity, comfort, and predictable outcomes—but only reveals its true cost later. The narrow road offers uncertainty upfront, but leads to life, maturity, and alignment with God's purpose.Garrett explains how the narrow road began with sin entering the world, how it culminates in Christ, and why walking it—not just knowing it—prepares you for eternal life and real leadership. Together, Garrett and Nick explore why certainty kills faith, why God prioritizes who you become over what you achieve, and how this dynamic applies to marriage, business, parenting, and suffering.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the narrow road exists and what it's designed to produceThe difference between knowing the gate and walking the roadWhy God is a God of process, not shortcutsHow belief, surrender, and trust are forged through uncertaintyWhy transformation—not outcomes—is God's primary goalHow the narrow road unlocks paths forward when life feels blockedIf you're frustrated, confused, or stuck—and the easy options feel empty—this episode will give you a new framework for understanding what God may be doing in your life right now.There is a way forward.

Most people picture Jesus as gentle, soft-spoken, and safe. But the Bible paints a very different picture of His return. In this episode, we unpack the shocking imagery of Yeshua in Revelation — eyes of fire, white hair like wool, and authority that shakes nations. The baby in the manger is gone. What’s coming next is the King, Judge, and Warrior Messiah that most churches never talk about. If you’ve been taught a sanitized version of Jesus, this episode may challenge everything you thought you knew.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Christmas can feel magical.It can also feel exhausting. If you're a parent who secretly feels pressure rising as the holidays approach—the expectations, the mess, the emotions, the memories—you're not alone. And sometimes, the clearest wisdom doesn't come from another parenting book or productivity hack. Sometimes it comes from children. I sat down with my two sons for a conversation about Christmas. I expected sweetness and laughter (and we definitely had that). But what I didn't expect was how profoundly wise their reflections would be—for moms and dads who want to keep Christ and joy at the center, even when emotions run high. May this conversation be a gentle reminder for all of us about what truly matters this season. The Most Important Thing During the Holiday Season When I asked my boys what makes Christmas special, their answers were simple: Being with family Giving and receiving gifts And most importantly—Jesus Isn't it interesting how easy it is for adults to know that truth, but still lose sight of it when stress enters the room? Kids seem to understand something we forget:Christmas isn't about perfection.It's about presence. Not perfect decorations.Not perfect meals.Not perfect behavior. But hearts that are oriented toward love. How Christmas Gets Derailed (And What Actually Matters) One of the most insightful moments came when we talked about what can ruin Christmas. Their answer? A negative, ungrateful attitude. And then they surprised me again by pointing out something many parents don't want to hear: "Adults need to remember this too." Children feel the atmosphere of a home.Even when no words are spoken. Tension.Unresolved anger.Stress that leaks out sideways. Kids may not understand the details—but they absolutely feel the weight. And when parents are overwhelmed or snapping at each other, it impacts everything. When You're Tempted to Snap at Your Spouse So, what do you do when you're tempted to snap at your spouse? Here's where the conversation turned especially tender. We talked about parents getting stressed—especially moms who want everything to be "just right" before guests arrive. And my sons said something profound: Take ownership of your emotions Don't take stress out on your spouse Walk away if you need to Calm your body before speaking They emphasized taking ownership of the way you choose to respond. We discussed Matthew 12:36 that says, "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak," The win isn't never feeling frustrated.The win is choosing restraint, humility, and love in the moment of temptation. The Gift of Calming Yourself Before You Speak How do you calm yourself before you lose your temper? They offered practical ideas—simple, doable, grace-filled: Take a walk Drink cold water Take deep breaths Step outside or into another room Take a long shower with space to think Not to avoid responsibility—but to prevent harm. Because once harsh words are spoken, they linger.And children remember not just what we say—but how it felt to be in our presence. If You've Messed Up Before… There Is Grace What if Christmas in the past was painful?What if words were spoken—or wounds created—that still ache? Their advice? Pray Go to the person you hurt Say "I'm sorry" sincerely Ask if there's anything you can do to repair And then—trust God with what you cannot undo. You are not disqualified from joy because of past mistakes. Keeping Christ at the Center (Without Adding Pressure) When I asked how families can keep Jesus at the center of Christmas, their answers weren't complicated: A nativity scene A meaningful star on the tree Praying before meals Simply thinking about Jesus Not performance. Not religious pressure. Just intentional reminders. Sometimes the most Christ-centered thing you can do is slow down enough to remember why you're celebrating. Final Thoughts: What Happens After Christmas The final question: When January comes, how do you want to remember this Christmas? My boys said: Happy, Safe, Grateful, Hopeful. Not impressed.Not exhausted.Not relieved it's over. But filled. That kind of Christmas doesn't come from doing more. It comes from being more present. If the holidays feel intimidating this year, hear this:You don't have to create a perfect Christmas.You are invited to cultivate a peaceful one. One where Christ is honored. Where your marriage is protected. Where your children feel safe. Where grace is louder than stress. And if you feel overwhelmed already—pause. Jesus came for this kind of moment. May your home be filled with warmth, peace, and joy this season. And may Christ—not pressure—be at the center.

318 bishops. 3 months of debate. 1 question that would shape Christianity forever: Is Jesus fully God—or just the greatest being God ever made?In 325 AD, a charismatic pastor named Arius was making waves across the Roman Empire. He wrote catchy songs, drew massive crowds, and had a simple argument: if Jesus is the Son of God, he must have had a beginning. It was logical. It sounded Biblical. It was wildly popular. And it was heresy.This message takes you inside the Council of Nicaea—the church fathers who showed up bearing scars from persecution, the biblical case both sides made, the slap heard round the church (courtesy of St. Nicholas), and an ending you won't see coming. But more than history, we wrestle with a question that still matters more than you might know: What kind of Father is God?

The event that confirms Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be: the Messiah, the Son of God. After His burial, the women came to the tomb expecting decay, but the Scriptures had already declared that the Holy One would not see corruption. Instead, they found the stone rolled away, an empty tomb, and an angel announcing the truth: “He has risen; He is not here.” Sermon Notes Mark 16:1 – 4 Women go to the tomb with spices to prepare Jesus' body and wondering how they will get the stone rolled away from the tomb Mark 16:5 & 6 They enter the tomb and see a young man wearing a white robe (an angel) who tells them Jesus who had been crucified is risen and He is not here Mark 16:7 Angel tells them to tell Jesus' disciples and Peter Jesus will meet them in Galilee Mark 16:8 The women left afraid 1 Corinthians 15:3 – 11 Jesus died, buried and rose according to the Scriptures
The Big Idea Podcast kicks off a brand-new series called Jesus' List. In this episode, Paul, Aaron, Daniel, and Gunnar explore the opening message rooted in John 17—the intimate moment where Jesus prays for His followers. Together they reflect on this truth: Jesus doesn't simply give gifts—He is the gift. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

If you've ever second-guessed your sanity, asked Google “Is my husband a narcissist or just an annoying human?” or thought you might be sinning by not cheerfully submitting to your own emotional obliteration, this episode is your wake-up call... with love.Christian counselor, Kris Reece, is back on the show for part two of our convo about the toxic mind games that keep Christian women stuck, particularly when Jesus is used as the emotional ball-and-chain.Together, we unravel gaslighting, guilt, spiritual manipulation, emotional immaturity, and why you're not selfish or sinful for walking away from garbage disguised as godliness.Key Takeaways:Label-Schmabel: Stop obsessing over whether he's a narcissist or just "difficult." The real question is: does he take responsibility or make excuses? That's your answer.Jesus Isn't Your Abuser's Alibi: Jesus didn't die so you could stay trapped in a soul-sucking relationship. Guilt is a Control Tool: Toxic people weaponize your good-girl guilt to keep you stuck. Change the Dance: You can't make him change. But you can change the steps you're taking, and that alone can shift the entire dynamic. You're Not Powerless: If everything hinges on him, you're trapped. Shift the focus back to YOU: your choices, your growth, your freedom.Truth Bomb: It's Not Your Fault: You're not responsible for his tantrums, beliefs, or abuse. You are responsible for how you respond and whether you keep playing along.Rebuilding Takes Time: Gaslighting screws with your reality. Healing comes as you reconnect with truth, reclaim your identity, and learn to giggle (a little) when grown men act like kindergartners.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Listen to Part One of my interview with Kris.Grab a copy of Kris' new book, Breaking the Narcissist's Grip.Get her FREE Narcissist Survival Guide.

Send us a textJesus Isn't God Is the central claim for many today that are proposing that Jesus was not God, nor that he made such a claim. These views are held by atheists, as well as many church goers. Specifically, if you find the Bible to be a collection of stories, and do not believe in God, there first must be room for consideration and doubt. If your mind is made up, then who is to say anything to you. Ultimately, the Bible is for those who doubt. Who search for something better than themselves. The story held in the pages is tragic, wonderful, provoking, and incredible. Its central claim is that of peace and hope between God and His creation. Jesus repeatedly proves that he is God by his behavior, teaching, influence, and actions. He was able to fulfill prophesies, extended through centuries, over dozens of authors and cultures, and reveal what it means to treat another as your equal. His disciples believed He was God. They worshipped Him. Learned from Him how to be the best version of themselves, and ultimately died for their beliefs. The creator of all things loves you, and wants you to come to Him freely. Hope of everlasting life is found only through Him and the example He set. =====Searching for answers to life's questions? Need help finding a church? Drop us a line.

Key Takeaways: The episode focuses on Judas Iscariot, providing context beyond the typical "villain" narrative, exploring his internal struggles and motivations. A central theme is understanding Jesus's teachings and how his original followers might have wrestled with comprehending and conveying these messages. Bookending techniques, such as the Jewish tradition reference and their adaptation to illustrate Jesus's significance, enrich the storytelling. The conversation underscores the challenge faced by the disciples in being the first to spread Jesus's messages, an aspect skillfully depicted by "The Chosen." Notable Quotes: "I'm really starting to appreciate the way the Chosen seems to be filling out the context of the characters even more so, giving us more historical context for what's happening in the lives of these characters." - Laura Bennett "The Chosen team is doing a great job of stopping and thinking about just possibly what might have been going on for Judas." - Ben McEachen "It was a real showcase of [the women's] connection to Jesus's life and their support of it." - Laura Bennett "The idea of even if you didn't, you are enough and even if you didn't… It actually gave a nice summation of what's happened in the four seasons up to this point." - Laura Bennett "Imagine being the very first people going, how do we repeat this stuff (sermons and teachings)?" - Laura Bennett Resources: Hope Media: hope1032.com.au Laura Bennett hosts Hope Afternoons in Sydney, Australia, and UNDISTRACTED podcast.

In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, Sathiya discusses the growing belief in the imminent return of Jesus and the implications of this mindset on personal faith and integrity. He emphasizes the importance of living a righteous life and being a 'spotless bride' for Christ, rather than becoming complacent in sin due to the belief that Jesus will return soon. Sathiya encourages listeners to focus on their spiritual growth and righteousness, regardless of their views on eschatology.

What if following Jesus wasn't about being a “good Christian” but becoming His apprentice? In this powerful episode, we unpack what it really means to be a disciple—not as a religious label, but as someone fully devoted to the Way. The early believers weren't called Christians—they were known as followers of the Way (Acts 9:2, 19:23, 24:14). Why? Because Jesus didn't just offer theology—He modeled a way of life. We'll dive into: Why “disciple” is a noun, not a verb—and what that means for your walk The difference between belief and apprenticeship What it looks like to follow Jesus so closely you become like Him How dying to self daily leads to supernatural life Why Jesus believes in you—and invites you to follow, right where you are You weren't made to sit on the sidelines of faith. You're not just a believer—you're The Apprentice. If you've been craving real transformation, deeper intimacy with God, and a life that reflects His power and presence—this episode is your call to drop the nets and walk the narrow road.
