Milestones

Why is real change so hard even when we want it? In this week’s Milestones lesson, we walk through a clear, practical path to transformation from Colossians 3. This isn’t about managing behavior, it’s about changing your thinking, removing what doesn’t belong, and replacing it with what does.

In chapter 2 of Colossians, we move from putting Jesus at the center to learning how to stay rooted in Him. Something that is especially important when pressure, comparison, and expectations begin to creep in.

What if nothing is “wrong”… but something is just out of place? In this episode, we walk through Colossians 1 and rediscover who Jesus really is. He's not just a part of our lives, but the One who holds everything together. When He moves from the center, everything starts to feel off. But when He’s restored to His rightful place, everything begins to realign.

In this episode, we explore how God brings healing to the whole person: heart, soul, mind, and strength. We talk about how trauma and life’s wounds can shape the way we see ourselves and even how we experience God’s presence. Yet Scripture reminds us that God invites us to bring every burden, every fear, and every honest emotion to Him.

In this episode of Milestones, we begin a new series exploring the Psalms and the deeply personal ways they give voice to our relationship with God. The Psalms remind us that faith isn’t lived only in moments of victory, but also in seasons of testing, refining, and honest conversation with the Lord.

This week on Milestones, we’re talking about the culture we create in our closest relationships. Anchored in Proverbs 14, we explore what it means to “build your house” through tone, repair, encouragement, unity, and joy. Marriage and friendships don’t drift because of one big moment, they erode or strengthen through daily choices. This conversation helps us reflect Jesus not just in what we belie...

In this episode of Milestones, we explore what it truly means to build godly relationships through Christlike wisdom, rooted in Luke 6. Godly relationships don’t fail because we lack truth, but because we struggle to surrender our motives, timing, and tone. We discuss how to start with the heart, listen to understand and hold grace and truth together.

You can’t build healthy, godly relationships until your identity is anchored in Christ. In this episode, we explore how identity shapes the way we relate to others, how unhealed wounds show up in our reactions, why awareness matters, and what it looks like to take responsibility for healing. Through Scripture, real-life stories, and honest conversation, this teaching walks through how knowing who...

In this episode of Milestones, we explore how Bible study isn’t about knowing more — it’s about seeing differently. Many of us have access to the Bible, but still struggle with depth. We read familiar passages without slowing down long enough to let them change us. If you’ve ever felt stuck, rushed, or intimidated by Bible study, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, ask better question...

What does it actually look like to open the Bible and hear from God for yourself? In this episode, we kick off a new season of Milestones talking about why the Bible matters, the difference between reading and studying God’s Word, and simple, practical tools that help Scripture move from the page into real life. Along the way, we normalize questions, dismantle intimidation, and practice engaging t...

In the final week of our Stay Close series, we explore what it means to stay close to the cross and the empty tomb through John 18–21. This episode walks through four powerful movements of the story: Jesus finishing the work on the cross, the empty tomb revealing that hope is never dead, Mary Magdalene encountering the risen Jesus in a deeply personal way, and Peter being restored and re-commissio...

What does it really mean to remain in Jesus? In this week’s Milestones conversation, we walk through John 15–16 and discover that fruitfulness isn’t about performance — it’s about connection. Jesus invites us to abide in Him: to make our home in His presence, to trust His pruning process, to obey from love rather than obligation, and to live with a joy and peace the world can’t shake. Even as Jesu...

When Jesus told His disciples He was leaving, their hearts were troubled — but His response wasn’t just comfort, it was a promise. In this week’s Milestones conversation, we explore John 14, where Jesus prepares a place for us and leaves us with His peace. Through rich context and real-life stories, we’re reminded that we’re never left alone — the Holy Spirit is our constant companion and the guar...

In this week’s Milestones study, we step into the upper room and watch Jesus do something completely unexpected — He kneels and washes His disciples’ feet. Through this powerful act, Jesus redefines leadership and love, showing us that true greatness begins with humility. Join us as we explore what it means to stay close to Jesus by serving like Him. Service isn’t just about meeting needs — it’s a...

In this week’s Milestones episode, we step into the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in John 12 — a house filled with gratitude, awe, and the unforgettable fragrance of worship. When Mary breaks open her alabaster jar and pours out her costly perfume on Jesus’ feet, it’s more than a moment of beauty — it’s a declaration of love, sacrifice, and trust. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to stay c...

Grief touches every life, but in John 11 we see that we don’t walk through it alone. In this episode of Milestones, we explore how Jesus enters our sorrow with compassion, speaks hope into the middle of hopelessness, and brings life where there was only death. Together, we reflect on the story of Lazarus and the powerful truth that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Whether you’re in a season...

In this week’s Milestones episode, we explore John 10 and discover what it means to stay close to Jesus, the Good Shepherd. He knows His sheep intimately, leads them with love, and protects them at all costs. Through real-life stories, practical insights, and a touch of humor, we’ll uncover how to recognize His voice, follow His guidance, and rest in His care—even when life feels confusing or over...

Sometimes the most dangerous blindness isn’t physical—it’s spiritual. In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind in the messiest way possible—mud, spit, and a whole lot of controversy. But the real miracle isn’t just that a man receives sight—it’s that Jesus exposes the blind spots of everyone around Him. Stay close to His vision. Let Him expose your blind spots. And discover the courage that comes f...

What do you reach for when life feels empty? In John 6, Jesus declares, “I am the bread of life”—reminding us that He isn’t just our comfort food or quick fix; He is our daily sustenance. In this Milestones conversation, we dive into the story of the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus walking on water, and His powerful teaching that He is the true bread from heaven. Together we’ll explore what it means t...

In John 5, Jesus approaches a man who had been lying by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years and asks him a soul-piercing question: “Do you want to get well?” In this week’s Milestones, we explore the power of that question and what it means for us today. Sometimes it feels easier to stay in the comfort of our brokenness than to step into the unknown of healing. Our identity can get tangled in anxiet...

This week we’re diving into John 4, where Jesus calls Himself the Living Water. What does that really mean—for the Samaritan woman, for the disciples, and for us today? Together we’ll see how Jesus meets us in our deepest thirst, offers true satisfaction that nothing else can, redefines what worship looks like, and sends us into a harvest that’s already ready. If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry o...

In this episode, we explore what it means to stay close in belief through two powerful stories from John 2 and 3: Mary at the wedding in Cana, and Nicodemus under the cover of night. We unpack the bold, expectant faith of a mother who trusted Jesus before He ever performed a miracle, and the quiet, questioning heart of a religious leader who struggled to understand what it really meant to be born...

In this episode, we are starting a new series called Stay Close. This series is a journey through the Gospel of John designed to help us draw near to Jesus — one chapter, one week at a time. We begin with John 1 and the powerful truth that Jesus is the Word made flesh. We’ll explore what it means to stay close to Him by staying close to Scripture — not just out of habit, but out of hunger for His...

In this episode, we dive into one of the most challenging yet transformational fruits of the Spirit: self-control. Through honest conversation and personal stories, our panel explores how self-control shows up in real life—not just as behavior modification, but as evidence of a Spirit-led life. We talk about: What self-control looks like when it’s rooted in God’s love versus legalism How the Holy...
