"He's a good guy". Did your theological funny bone just tingle? Was your immediate thought "none is righteous, no, not one" ? What is Common Grace? What does God think about those that are not his? How should we understand the contributions of those that are not in Christ, yet make meaningful contributions to our lives, have genuine skills, and produce beautiful things? And...

(Deuteronomy 6:7) Join Pastors Chase & Matthew as they discuss how they raise their families, what the role of the parent is in the discipleship of their child, and how that changes as your child grows up.

The second question we ask someone when we first meet them is "what do you do?" How we define who we are has a great impact on how we view ourselves. This can lead to a lot of struggles when we can no longer do the things we want to do. How does our identity in Christ impact our purpose? What do we live for? And how does this change how we feel? Join Pastor Chase & Pastor Matthew as...

Did you know that the Bible has funny stories? That in God's inspired Word a Disciple humble-brags about winning a foot race, that God calls some women "cows", and that David got 200 Philistine foreskins, when he only had to get half that number? The Bible is full of interesting and funny details, and in this episode Pastors Chase and Matthew share ones that they find particularly no...

Grief is a funny thing; it makes us sorrowful over the simplest of things, calls to memory events long forgotten and makes us appreciate what seemed insignificant just days before. So, why does God tell us that it is better to go to a house of mourning than a house of feasting (Ecc 7:2)? In the wake of a recent loss, Pastor Chase discusses grief with Pastor Matthew, and how to understand it; join...

What makes someone's counseling Biblical? Is it because they are doing it through a church? Is it because they quote the bible? Is it because they are a Christian? Is it because the counselee is a Christian? Join Pastors Chase & Matthew as they answer this question, and explain why we believe that scripture is the foundation of all Biblical Counseling.

Join Pastors Chase & Matthew as they discuss what it means for us to invest in others, to come alongside them and help them in their sanctification. We all have many obligations in life and so the initial question we may have is "why" should I invest in others? The follow up objection could be "I dont have time" to invest in others. Join us as we address these topics and mo...

Every week we gather, sit and listen to someone talk for 45+ minutes from the Bible.

Many Evangelical Churches and Christians proclaim a theologically accurate doctrine, but why does that doctrinal statement often not seem to inform the preaching and teaching you hear when you attend their Worship Services? Join Pastor Chase & Pastor Matthew as they discuss the idea of "Functional Liberalism"; the concept that a person who says they believe biblically accurate things...

This last Sunday was Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. It is a day marked by those that believe that all human life is sacred, and deserves to be protected and preserved.

Join Pastors Chase & Matthew as they discuss the biblical motivation t...

Who is a leader? What makes a leader? We all know someone in our life that helped lead us through circumstances, and decisions. Do Christians need to take leadership lessons only from Christian leaders, or can they learn from secular leaders as well?

Anxiety is the fearful anticipation of a future negative event or situation and it is something we all wrestle with; therefore, we...
