10 More Minutes

Send us Your Thoughts He poured water on the altar on purpose. Not a little. Enough to make success impossible unless God showed up. That one choice turns Elijah’s Mount Carmel showdown (1 Kings 18) into a piercing question for our lives: do we actually trust the one true God, or do we keep a hidden escape route that protects our pride? We sit down with Pastor David for our season one finale of 10...

Send us Your Thoughts God asks Solomon a dangerous question: “What do you want me to give you?” Most of us can name a dozen “practical” answers in a heartbeat. Solomon doesn’t reach for power, success, long life, or wealth. He asks for an understanding heart, and that single request forces us to look at our own desires and the kind of prayers we’ve been repeating on autopilot. Ryan Ritchie and Pas...

Send us Your Thoughts Devotion isn’t proved by one big moment, it’s revealed by the steady choices you make when nobody’s watching. We sit down with Pastor Ross Strickland after his message on the book of Ruth and talk about the kind of faithfulness that holds when life is painful, distracting, or just ordinary. Ross shares personal reflections from Mother’s Day, including how a parent’s devotion...

Send us Your Thoughts “Be strong and courageous” can sound like a motivational poster until you realize God ties courage to something specific: his presence and his Word. Ryan and Marty McGinn look back at Joshua 1 and the moment Joshua steps into leadership after Moses, carrying an assignment that feels bigger than his own ability. We talk about the promise “just as I was with Moses, so I will be...

Send us Your Thoughts We reflect on Moses in Exodus and trace how real confidence grows when we stop fixating on ourselves and start trusting God’s presence. We challenge the way insecurity masquerades as humility and land on a simple practice: remember what God has done and tell your story.  • the difference between humility and self-doubt  • why God answers with presence instead of ego boosts  •...

Send us Your Thoughts Most of us don’t plan to blow up our integrity. We just get comfortable living near a boundary and calling it “fine.” Ryan Ritchie and Pastor David Rogers slow down Cross Point Church’s Sunday message to look closely at Joseph in Genesis 39, where temptation isn’t theoretical, it’s personal, persistent, and costly. Joseph’s choice to flee Potiphar’s wife becomes a clear pictu...

Send us Your Thoughts God tells Abram to leave everything familiar and walk into an unknown future and Abram goes. That one sentence in Genesis 12 confronts the way we treat obedience as either a personality trait or a religious checklist, because real obedience usually involves loss, uncertainty, and a decision to trust God’s voice over every other voice competing for our attention. We talk throu...

Send us Your Thoughts Easter Sunday moves fast, but the empty tomb deserves more than a quick drive-by. We sit down for a longer, calmer conversation about the resurrection of Jesus and why it still lands with force, even when you have heard the story for years. We also share a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it takes to welcome thousands, and why serving matters when the room is full of people...

Send us Your Thoughts Palm branches and cheering crowds are only the beginning. The middle of Holy Week holds some of the clearest, most challenging snapshots of Jesus’s heart and mission, and we slow down to walk through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with fresh eyes as we head toward Good Friday and Easter. We start with Monday’s temple cleansing and the uncomfortable question it raise...

Send us Your Thoughts A kid walks up after church and says, “Pastor, I want to be baptized.” That kind of moment stops you in your tracks because it’s simple, bold, and honest, which is exactly the posture Jesus points to in Luke 18 when He tells His disciples not to hinder children from coming to Him. We talk about what childlike faith really means, how those church hallway conversations can beco...

Send us Your Thoughts The question behind Luke 13 is uncomfortably personal: when Jesus talks about the narrow door, am I actually walking through it or am I just near the crowd? We take Ten More Minutes to slow down after Sunday’s message and get specific about assurance of salvation, doubt, and what it means to strive for the narrow way without turning Christianity into a works-based treadmill....

Send us Your Thoughts What if the most familiar prayer still has fresh work to do in your heart today? We sit with Luke 11 and the Lord’s Prayer and discover how simple words—Father, bread, forgive—reorder our lives from self-reliance to steady dependence. Rather than chasing the comfort of “more,” we explore what it means to become one-day ready: asking for enough for now, trusting God with tomor...

Send us Your Thoughts The clock on Sunday moves fast, but the questions and convictions linger. We open the door for ten more minutes that become a deeper journey into Luke 10, where Jesus says the harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few. That single line reframes our calling: the fields are not barren, they’re ready. When we believe that, we stop dragging our feet and start stepping with pu...
