  • 4. Abiding with Christ: Performance Driven or Presence Seeking?
    Jun 24 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most vital aspects of the Christian life — abiding in Jesus. What does it truly mean to remain connected to the True Vine? How do we stay spiritually rooted in a world full of distractions, stress, and spiritual dryness? Today, we’re not only going to unpack what Jesus meant in John 15 when He said, 'Abide in me, and I in you', but we’ll also share practical tools and rhythms that can help you cultivate a life of daily connection with Christ. Whether you’re feeling spiritually vibrant or you're in a season of disconnect, this conversation is for you. So grab your Bible, maybe a journal, and let’s explore together how we can walk more closely with the One who gives us life, fruitfulness, and joy.

  • 3: Black History is Gospel History: The Chicken & the Pig
    Jun 10 2025

    Juneteenth — a day of freedom, resilience, and remembrance. But what does it mean for the Church? What does it look like to truly pursue racial reconciliation in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus?

    Today, we’re not pulling punches. We’re exploring the legacy of slavery, the Church’s silence — and sometimes complicity — and how we, as followers of Christ, can be part of God's redemptive work in our generation.

    This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a call to action, to empathy, to justice, and above all — to love. So grab your Bible, open your heart, and let’s have the conversation the Church needs to have.

  • 2: Holy Spirit or Hype? Making Sense of His Power, Presence, and Purpose.
    May 27 2025

    Today we’re talking about the Holy Spirit—how different Christians understand Him, and more importantly, how we can actually live with the Spirit day to day. Whether you’ve grown up in a charismatic church or barely heard much about the Holy Spirit at all, this episode is for you. We’re not here to debate—we’re here to explore the beauty and mystery of the Spirit, and to invite Him into our everyday lives. So whether you’re driving, folding laundry, or on a walk, let’s lean in together and make space for the Spirit to speak.
