There's a way to sound spiritually mature while staying completely unformed, and therapy culture is helping people do just that. This week on Win Today, Matt Chandler joins us to confront the drift we're experiencing: where therapy culture replaces repentance, where identity confusion isn't grieved, and where safe Christian jargon sounds right but does nothing to transform the soul. We talk about why discipleship doesn't always feel safe. Why comfort doesn't heal—it sedates. And how complaining isn't just venting; it's forming your view of God. Matt names the thin theology that's left people chasing emotional relief instead of spiritual formation. This conversation doesn't throw stones at therapy. But it does confront what happens when comfort becomes your gospel and language becomes your liturgy. If you've traded formation for slogans, been discipled more by feelings than by truth, or confused Christian language with actual obedience, this conversation isn't just timely—it's necessary.

But there is a better way—a path to living fully awake and fully alive to God's presence.In Awake and Alive: A 30-Day Challenge to Revive Your Faith, respected pastor, speaker, and author Matt Chandler calls you to wake up, guiding you through a series of bold challenges to revitalize your spiritual life.To learn more visit: https://pastormattchandler.com/Support The Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/110664/subscribe Register for our next session of Tribe: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-xvii Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreat This podcast is sponsored by Dark Water Woodwork.

Welcome to the final week of our Relationships Anonymous series at Village Church! In this powerful sermon, Pastor Finu Iype dives into the topic of parenting, emphasizing that it's not just hard work—it's holy work. Drawing from Psalm 139:13 and Jeremiah 1:5, Pastor Finu reminds us that children are not accidents but divine assignments with a purpose from God. Parenting is about stewardship, not ownership, and it's our responsibility to shape the next generation for God's eternal purposes. Following the sermon, Dr. Dave Curry, a marriage and family expert with over 50 years of experience, joins Pastor Finu and Trisha Iype to answer practical parenting questions submitted by the Village Church community.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was a British writer, literary scholar and theologian. He is best known for writing the Chronicles of Narnia. Baptized as an infant, Lewis became an atheist at 15 years old because he was angry at God both for not existing and for creating such a terrible world. He became a Christian “kicking, struggling, and resentful” at 33 years old, influenced by friends like J.R.R. Tolkien and various writings. Mere Christianity is Lewis' compelling apologetic for Christianity. For Lewis, Christianity is neither easy nor simple. Rather, it is demanding and risky. In this sermon series, we will explore his arguments for Christian faith as a radical reordering of our lives.Sunday service times are 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m. at the Mission Campus in Prairie Village, Kansas, and 10 a.m. at the Antioch Campus in Overland Park, Kansas.

In his book "Postmodern Pilgrims," Dr. Leonard Sweet offers a vision for the 21st century church that engages both the church's traditions and its need for innovation. He calls for a faith that is both ancient and future, historical and contemporary. While he reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), he wonders how the church, the body of Christ, can give a compelling and imaginative witness to Jesus today. In this sermon series, we will explore what Sweet calls the "EPIC" church: Experiential, Participatory, Imagistic, and Communal."For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ."  –1 Corinthians 12:12-26 Sunday service times are 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m. at the Mission Campus in Prairie Village, Kansas, and 10 a.m. at the Antioch Campus in Overland Park, Kansas.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Healing the City podcast, Pastor Mark and Pastor Eric sit down to talk about what it actually means to belong. They explore how the Village understands membership, not as signing a line or joining a club, but as stepping into responsibility, stability, and shared life. Drawing from the Village's neo-monastic approach, they reflect on how true belonging always demands something of us: showing up, carrying one another's burdens, and submitting ourselves to a larger story. This isn't about chasing ideal community; it's about committing to walk with real people, in all their beauty and brokenness, and letting that shape us into something stronger and more whole.Support the show"Healing the City" is a profound and dynamic weekly podcast that dives into the complexities of creating healthier communities.
