Imagine the moments leading up to the feeding of the 5,000. Why was the boy so close to Jesus with five loaves and two fish when no one else had food? In our own lives, we often face moments where we can choose to give what little we have, and watch God multiply it in miraculous ways. In this story from John 6:1-15, Pastor Shawn Williams explores the amazing story of the feeding of the 5,000 and how we, as carriers of hope, have a part to play! Just like the little boy who offered his small lunch, we see that no act is too small for God to multiply into something miraculous. Whether it's a little or a lot, we all have a role in spreading hope and making a difference in the world!

Just as Jesus reached out to heal the leper, He brings us hope through compassion and tangible acts of healing.As we kick off Celebration of Hope, we're reminded that Jesus draws near to the broken and outcast.

Trad wives. Toxic masculinity. Fourth-wave feminism. The “manosphere.” Egalitarianism. Complementarianism. What do all these terms have in common? They represent ways to view or interpret what it means to be a woman or man. They have helped shape our culture both within and outside of the church. Pastors Megan Marshman and Shawn Williams unpack Genesis 1:26–27, Genesis 2:15–22, and  Ephesians 5 to show the beautiful harmony that can be achieved when tradition and cultural expectations are put in their proper place, and God's vision for manhood and womanhood is elevated.

Christmas might not always be “the most wonderful time of the year.” For some, it really is wonderful. But for others, it can be the hardest time of the year. Mourning of the life we thought we'd have or experiencing the first holiday without a loved one—Christmas can be filled with more anxiety than joy. In the midst of the challenge, Luke 1:46–55 points us to Jesus—the Prince of Peace—who is making all things right. Jesus, as the Prince of Peace, reminds us that this is only a glimpse of the goodness He ushered in at His birth and continues to unfold.

Open to Chapter 1 of John's Gospel; you won't find any details about Mary and Joseph, shepherds, innkeepers, or a manger. Instead, John reminds us of God's mighty power that brought the world into existence. This is a very different Christmas narrative, but it's a powerful one! Pastor Shawn Williams dives into John 1:1–14, reflecting on the Christmas story, and focuses on Jesus as the Mighty God who walked among His creation to free us from what holds us back.

Introducing the first episode of Pony Hoops Insight with SMU Basketball greats Jarrey Foster, Nic Moore and Shawn Williams. The guys introduce the podcast, break down SMU's loss to Butler and share what they're doing now after their playing days. Plus, they look ahead to Monday's matchup in Moody Coliseum vs. Prairie View A&M.Pony Hoops Insight is in partnership with The 1911 Group and On The Pony Express. The 1911 Group was founded by Lindsey Brown (Dedman Law '13) and Mitchell Brown (Dedman College '10 & Cox MBA '20) after realizing that there was no efficient networking platform to connect SMU alumni across all of SMU's schools and programs. With this premise in mind, the goal was to create and host events specifically designed to bring fellow SMU alumni together and promote networking, business development, and collaboration. Our hope is that these relationships may lead to future hires, clients, investors, or business partners. To date, the 1911 Group has hosted a diverse range of networking events, with over 150 SMU alumni joining our network. Subscribe to OnThePonyExpress.com for 50% off an annual subscription!

What does it mean to be a peacemaker, not a peacekeeper? Which one of those do you think requires the most courage? Abigail in the Bible shows us what real peacemaking can achieve; she saves the lives of her entire family! But puts herself at great risk to do so. Most of the time, being a peacemaker is much harder than being a peacekeeper; because it means sticking your own neck out on the line and that's hard for anyone unwilling to lead with peace to do. But we would want someone to lead from the front for us, right? Someone willing to go for peace and the greater good for everyone. And that's what we should be praying for when we pray for our leaders, and ourselves.

When we think about all the religions in the world, what makes Christianity the one we want to be a part of? Perhaps you're wondering if all religions ultimately teach about the same God - and how many gods are there? Don't all religions basically teach about love and are equally good (or bad, depending on your POV)? There are so many questions. But that's what we're here to answer today: how Jesus makes the biggest difference in our lives because of the relationship with God He offers us. We seek to address the heart of this question: our desire to see everyone get into Heaven. Let's look at the book of John, chapters 14 and 15, to help us understand and answer this question.

What does the Bible say about sex? Let's talk about it! American culture and the American church have missed the mark on what our sexuality is for and how to use it. From the falsely liberating sexual culture of the modern era to the condemning and damaging messages of purity culture, no wonder the students and young adults in our church are confused because, if we're honest, a lot of Christian adults are too. It might seem odd, but God really does care about who you sleep with and gives us all great guidance on how to be wise with our sexuality. Advice designed to help us live fully into our potential and purpose, caring for our entire being; mind, body and soul. Pastor Shawn teaches this week on what the bible says about sex.

What do Christians get wrong about Christianity? We can all be in danger of veering off in a direction that God never intended. In this new series, exploring the church in the book of Ephesians in the Bible, our hope is to remember the mission of the church as it was originally designed, and inspire you to be a part of it! When Christians think it's all about us, we surround ourselves with those who look and think like us, and we miss the opportunity to have authentic connection with people who can stretch, challenge and support us. This week, we look at how our church, our community within the church, and being an active part of that reflects what Jesus began. How will you get into the community at your church and start making a positive difference in the wider community around you? Because it's not just about creating Christian community for you, it's about connecting with, and supporting, other people too.

What do you do when you're faced with a big problem? Most of us do one of two things: either move quickly into action, or become overwhelmed and freeze. It's fight, or flight, or freeze. When we think about how to change the world, or how to help people in difficult times, our best course of action is to go to God first. It's a natural thing to want to help so badly that we rush in out of desperation or to feel so overwhelmed by the scale of a problem that we simply can't find our way into action. And that's where attuning your heart to God becomes incredibly powerful.

Many of us have a fear of being alone. It's a very human trait to suffer through feeling lonely and social isolation. But with God next to us, we are never truly alone. And God understands our feelings of loneliness and sadness; Jesus suffered terrifying depression and loneliness in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46)and cried out to God in desperation. Jesus experienced the depths of despair so that we would never have to experience true isolation. As we remember Jesus' sacrifice on Good Friday, we unpack the story of His life and journey to the cross to see how Jesus is God with us in all things.

Shame is a word and feeling we all want to avoid. Shame is often a barrier between us and God, too. Our regrets, all those actions and feelings we carry with us for years, weigh us down and make us feel less than worthy of God's love. But that's just not true at all. In John 18, Peter denies Jesus three times, something he is deeply ashamed of. And then, in John 21, Peter is forgiven by and restored through Jesus. You, too, can experience forgiveness and restoration; true healing and freedom from shame, guilt and regret. Pastor Shawn shows us how this is possible in our own lives.
