The gospel of Jesus Christ is not only our foundation, it must be our primary focus.

Acts 7 tells the account of Stephen, the first Christian martyr of the early church. In Acts, Stephen preaches that Jesus is the main thing. This Sunday, we looked at the 4 realities that are true about us when we live in light of that truth.

A few weeks ago, in February of this year, a Representative by the name of Laurel Libby, who serves in the House of Representative for the state of Maine, was censured by that body for what they termed, a reprehensible social media post. As it turns out, Libby had posted about a young, high school, male athlete who won first place in pole vaulting in the women's category of competition in the state of Maine. We need to talk about where we are right now in America on the topic of transgender athletes, as well as the topic of censorship of those who wade into the public square and dare to speak their minds.Liz Lykins, “Maine madness: Lawmaker still banned from House floor over social media post,” March 18, 2025.Nathanael Blake, “Sex and the post-Christian right,” March 11, 2025.R.

Our special, wise guest, Anita Stubenrauch, is one of the most creative people I've ever met. She's a writer, speaker, podcaster and entrepreneur. Our paths crossed when she delivered the keynote speech at a conference I attended last November in Austin, TX. Immediately after her presentation, I knew we had to have her on the show.   Anita is a former Apple creative professional who spent a significant chunk of her career at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. While working at Apple, Anita was tapped to write the Apple Credo. She also created  presentations seen by Steve Jobs and other members of his executive leadership team.   After leaving Apple, Anita founded a retreat space nestled in the mountains of California. It's called the Land of Make and Believe. She publishes a high-voltage podcast called "Hyperactive Imagination." Anita also runs a creative consultancy known as Cause Effect Creative, where she provides guidance to brands and brand builders, executives and entrepreneurs.   In this enriching episode, you'll discover the main thing Anita has learned in her lifetime. Plus, you'll learn about: the power of storytelling; what it's like to work for one of the world's most storied and admired technology companies; and how a creative powerhouse finds her spark and navigates through the wilderness when that spark eludes her.   Anita Stubenrauch joins us today from her home in the hills of Murphys, California. Now buckle up and get ready for a high energy whirlwind experience. Over the next 25 minutes, you will discover why Anita Stubenrauch is one of the wisest people I know.   Resources Link to Anita's website Cause:Effect Creative Link to website for The Land of Make and Believe Link to podcast site for Hyperactive Imagination   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

We live in a world where so much is at the tips of our fingers. Quite literally, we have access to so much through our phones and computers. But despite the whir of stuff and dreams and desires and limitations, we can't let ourselves be sidetracked from the main thing: giving God first place in every part of our lives. Listen to this.The Bible is not one book. What?! No, even though we might carry around one book called the Bible, it is actually 66 different books. Some of those books are long and some of those are short. Does that mean the longer books are more important than the shorter books? Not at all! In fact, there is a lot of deep truth in the smallest books of the Bible and that is what this series is all about.

Kevin Franke Seems To Think The 'Internet' Is The Main Thing To Blame For His Wife's Behavior What kind of person looks at their own children suffering and blames… YouTube? Kevin Franke seems to think the real villain here is family vlogging, not the alleged abuse that unfolded right under his nose. Sure, exploiting kids for clicks is bad, but is it really the root of the problem, or just a convenient scapegoat? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the tangled mess of belief systems, cult-like influences, and straight-up denial that kept Franke blind to what was happening in his own home. As he now seeks custody of his children—and still professes love for Ruby Franke—can he truly separate himself from the toxic dynamics that led to this nightmare?

Over the past decade, leaving the church has been a trend - and the leavers have been mostly left-leaning. But Jake Meador identifies a more recent trend of "right-wing exvangelicals." Whereas the left-wing exvangelicals liked Jesus but weren't sure about the church, right-wing exvangelicals want to keep civic religion but aren't as interested in the way of Jesus. In this episode, we talk about these trends, how we're seeing them in our churches, and how the gospel speaks to them.(0:00) Introductions & Snack Shout-outs(2:49) What is an Ex-vangelical?

We live in a culture that rewards busyness and belittles rest. However, busyness is not the problem; mis-prioritized values are. This affects our relationships with family, friends, and God. We desire to be known. To truly experience God, we must ask ourselves: What are we seeking?

In anything we do, we're tempted to get distracted and derailed off the tracks we're on. I keep talking about serving customers as being the main idea - the entire point - in business. Serving the customer is the point of everything else you're trying to do. Everything else depends on it. You want your employees, vendors, and yourself to win. But that happens in connection with your customers winning. You need to keep that focus on the customer. You need the keep the main thing, the main thing.

In this episode, Ps. Wilma encourages us in the New Year, whatever we do and whatever season we find ourselves in, to keep the main thing the main thing.

Every year we get this chance.  Bury the past and begin to build the future.  For many, the application concerns our health, money, relationships.  But what if the focus was Jesus?  Just Jesus.  Know his love at a level we never have.  Understand his plan for our lives to the degree that has never totally sunk in.  In the midst of all our resolutions, even the good and needed ones, let's keep the main one at center court.  May we know the Christ in a way that makes everything else secondary.   Follow us for more weekly messages from Eastside pastors! 

In the first hour of today's show, the guys hit the headlines - Penix and the Falcons are back in first place in the NFC South. Penix in his first start didn't look overwhelmed, which is what they needed.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Christmas Eve, the 24th of December, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. Now folks, it is probably the most important evening of the whole year! This is the night that we celebrate the birth of our beloved Saviour, dearest Friend, Jesus Christ. We go straight to the Gospel of Matthew 1:21: “And she (Mary) will bring forth a Son (Jesus), and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”I want us to have just a little bit of a cautious thought about things. I know it is very hectic, especially for mothers in the home, making sure that the food is all prepared; the decorations have been put up; the extra beds have been made because Aunty and Uncle are coming to spend Christmas Eve with you; and the Christmas presents for the children for tomorrow, are all being wrapped up. In the hectic attitude of this season, do not forget the baby! Do not forget that beloved baby - it makes me want to cry. You know, behind me in my prayer room, I have a beautiful picture of the nativity, of Joseph, of Mary and of that little Darling, from Heaven, Jesus Christ. In the busyness of our lives, let us never forget the main thing. The main thing is, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is so easy to get so busy that we forget the main reason for Christmas Eve.I want to tell you a little story. I was sitting right here in the same chair in my prayer room, and I heard little footsteps coming through the door of my prayer room, where nobody comes except my immediate family, and I looked around and there was my little granddaughter, she is only about five or six years old. She looked very shy because she knew I was busy, but praise God, she felt she could come and approach her grandfather, and she said, “Kulu”, with those big eyes. She was holding a tube, a bicycle tube in her hand, and I said, “What's wrong?” She said, “My bicycle has got a puncture, and my cousin (who lives over the road) is coming to see me and we are going to go for a ride but my bicycle is not working. Could you help me?” (I am getting emotional!) I said, “Of course.” I stopped everything. I went out, I fixed the puncture at the back but there was also a puncture at the front. I fixed that. Then she had no oil for her chain, so we put oil on the chain. Then the seat was just a little bit high because it used to belong to her big brother, so I adjusted the seat. Then her cousin arrived and that little thing, if I had bought her a Lear Jet, it would not have meant the same, and off they went cycling together. Please look after your children, especially the smallest ones. Do not neglect them at this time. Jesus loves the little children. Have a very precious Christmas Eve,God bless you and goodbye.

In the 4th hour of today's show, the guys hit the Falcons report, as we hear from Michael Penix and Arch talking about Sunday's game. Danny Kanell joins to preview this weekend's CFP opening round.
