Rob shares how Beth helps him to set a vision, manage change, support st...

JRR Tolkien’s Ring of Power is a picture of the way greed works—quietly shaping our desires, convincing us we need more, and never letting us rest. But in Middle-earth and in Scripture, there is another path: the peace of contentment and the way of simplicity. Come learn how a simpler, quieter life can lead to deeper joy and greater freedom.

Is mental illness sinful? How does faith influence our mental health? And what role does the church have to play in caring for those who are struggling?

What if joy isn’t found in getting more, but in giving more? 🤔 This week, we kick off a new teaching series called A Generous Life and we’ll see how Jesus flips our idea of the 'good life' upside down and invites us to live like the generous God who made us — discovering freedom and joy in the process.

Doors can be symbols of welcome or exclusion, boundaries or opportunity-but in Revelation 3:7–13, Jesus speaks of an open door that no one can shut.

The whole church burned to the ground and yet they found hope. On this podcast we dive into the history of Trinity Church Streetsville including the devastating fire of 1998 and the long, challenging road of rebuilding. When a teenager set fire to the church in the midst of a construction project all that anyone could do was watch it burn. Then, Harold Percy led the way through forgiveness, hope a...

When the ancient church in Laodicea came in for a check-up, Jesus found something deeply wrong. Their faith wasn’t hot or cold — it was lukewarm.

Gratitude isn’t something we wait to feel after we win the race — it’s something we practice while we’re still running the race. In a world that says, “You deserve more,” the Gospel invites us to live countercurrent — to give thanks not because life is perfect, but because Jesus has already crossed the finish line for us.

As John Cleese said: "This parrot’s not resting — it’s dead!" In Revelation 3, Jesus gives a blunt diagnosis to the church in Sardis: “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” Ouch. Join us this week as we check the PULSE of a living church — and discover how to move from just having “beautiful plumage” to being fully alive in Christ.

Conflict, protest and unjust laws. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote “A Letter From a Birmingham Jail” in 1963, but it’s just as relevant today. This letter tackles everything from choosing sides, to dealing with tension, to the role of Christians in the face of injustice.

What do you say to someone who is suffering? Our words often fall short — but Jesus’ words never do. In Revelation 2:8–11, Christ speaks directly to a church under crushing pressure, deep poverty, and harsh persecution. To the believers in Smyrna, He says, “I know… Do not be afraid… Be faithful, and I will give you the crown of life.”

Doing the right thing often costs us, but is it still worth it? We wrap up conversation on the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount by talking about what persecution means, why we should expect it, and how to get through it. Jesus says that we will be persecuted for pursuing justice - whether in homeless encampments, fights in the subway, when seeking equity, or other places. And Christ is with...

Everybody wants peace, but what kind of peace? The path to peace is complex and on this podcast we break down what Jesus means when he calls us to be peacemakers.
