Ready-to-Use Episode Description What does it truly mean to walk with God in our everyday lives?

Does your faith feel like a system of control, or does it inspire wonder? In this continuation of our series in 1 John, we explore what it really means to "test the spirits" (1 John 4:1) in a modern world. Without critique, religion can quickly become idolatry. We dive into the dangers of a strict "binary" worldview, what the horror movie Heretic gets right about toxic religion, and why healthy fa...

What if everything you were taught about sin was designed to keep you ashamed, not free? In part 2 of our series on 1st John, we dig into a word that shows up 27 times in this short letter: hamartia — sin.

Drawing from his husband's 20-year journey with diabetes, his father's kidney transplant and o...

"Who sinned, this man or his parents?" That's the question that opens John 9 — and it's a question that still gets asked, in different words, about anyone whose body or identity doesn't fit the frameworks we're handed. In this guest message, Esther Loewen — a licensed marriage and family therapist and former pastor — walks through three places where the story of the man born blind in John 9 echoes...

Pastor Craig Hadley gave this sermon at Paradox on May 23, 2026. Is the Kingdom of Heaven fair? In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a parable where workers hired at different hours all receive the same pay — and the ones who worked longest are furious.
