After Sunday: Digging Deeper

Genesis reminds us that God works on timelines bigger than ours. Skye and Elissa talk creation with purpose, covenant through mercy, and why God is never reacting, only arranging. A needed reset for the start of the year.

Looking like a Christian is easier than living like one. In this episode, Parker and Elissa get real about sacrifice, comfort, and the difference between admiring the cross and carrying it. We talk social media faith, minimum effort discipleship, and why Jesus thinned the crowd on purpose. This one challenges the comfortable and encourages the committed.

Turns out the Stranger Things crew accidentally gives us a pretty solid picture of what “returning” looks like. We dive into how faith can slip into autopilot, how easy it is to lose the spark, and why Jesus tells the church in Ephesus to remember, repent, and return. It is honest, simple, and sprinkled with plenty of laughs about our very chaotic movie references.

Love keeps no record of wrongs, but wow do we try. This week Parker and Elissa talk about the weight we carry when we refuse to let things go and why forgiveness is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. With the holidays right around the corner, family tension, old hurt, and awkward memories seem to show up right when the turkey does. Perfect timing to talk reconciliation.

The race isn’t over... just changing lanes. Elissa and Alex close out the Revival of Faith series with reflections on endurance, community, and keeping your eyes on Jesus. It’s also a goodbye-for-now to Alex, whose time behind the mic has left a lasting mark on this podcast and everyone who’s listened along the way.

When Jesus invited Thomas to touch his wounds, he wasn’t rebuking him, he was restoring him. Preston and Jacob explore what it means for us when faith feels fragile, and how Christ still meets doubters with open hands and honest grace.

Peter took his eyes off Jesus and sank—but Jesus never left. Alex and Chris talk about faith that wavers, fear that lingers, and why trust isn’t about how strong you are but Who you’re looking at when the waves rise.

Real faith doesn’t come easy...it’s forged in the fire. Elissa and Alex close the loop on reason, emotion, and trust, reminding us that God builds something strong through the struggle.

We wrap up our month on Revival of Worship by asking the hard question: has worship become about what we feel instead of who God is? Goosebumps and guitar solos, we talk about the difference between entertainment and true worship.

If Paul walked into your church this Sunday, what would he say? Elissa and Brandon dive into that question as they compare the worship of the first century church with what we do now.

Old Testament rituals are gone. New Testament worship is simple, spiritual, and accessible for all. Emily joins Elissa to unpack what that means for us today.

Old Testament worship was heavy, detailed, and costly. Why was it that way, and how is Jesus the freedom and fulfillment of it all?

If the law said loving your neighbor was a crime, would there be enough evidence to lock you up? That question flipped the room and sparked this week’s talk.

We talk about Bonhoeffer, slippery slopes, and why grace without truth isn’t grace at all. Jacob shares what he’s seen on campus and how both generations can do better.

The four questions every college student gets asked point to something deeper. Alex and Elissa connect the dots between majors, identity, and the greater calling Jesus gives us. Along the way, they reflect on Welcome Sunday, revival, and what it means to wear your faith as proudly as your school colors.

Territorial pew-sitting. Spiritual ego. Passive shade. We’re going there. Generational unity doesn’t happen by accident.

This isn’t just theology...it’s personal. God desires you . In this vulnerable and hope-filled conversation, Alex and Elissa talk through God’s relentless invitation and how scripture makes it plain: redemption is available, and it’s not out of reach.

You saved for months. You planned the perfect trip. Then a mosquito ruins it all? This week’s metaphor hits hard. We’re talking about how small things can steal big joy, and how not to let temporary pain define eternal hope.

Peter blew it. David blew it. You’ve blown it too. But God isn’t finished. This one’s about how failure isn’t final, and why hope is worth holding on to.

What do Disney vacations, Japanese swords, and fireworks have in common? They’re all part of this week’s BONUS convo on living hope. It’s deeper than you think...and it might hit right where you need it.

Why do we think revival has to happen somewhere else ? Elissa and Skye dig into how God wants to move in your city, your job, your grocery store, and your street. You’ll laugh, learn, and probably walk away thinking differently about what it means to be a community-changer. Whether it's praying for a server, building intergenerational friendships, or inviting a coworker to church, this one reminds...

Elissa and Alex challenge listeners to rethink the way we live out faith. Jesus didn’t serve from a distance. He got close. He got involved. He touched the untouchable and welcomed the outsider. This episode is your push to get past comfort and into calling. If you’ve been waiting for someone else to step up, it’s time to realize you are someone else.

Devotion. Fellowship. Breaking bread. Prayer. The first-century church got it — and it flipped the world upside down. Could those same four pillars bring revival to your life today? Let’s find out.

Mission trips fade. Conferences end. The mountaintop moments don’t last forever. So what do you do when the spiritual high wears off and the Monday grind kicks in? In this episode, Elissa and Alex unpack what it means to move from pew to pavement and how to make evangelism a lifestyle, not just a church program. From Moses’ shining face in Exodus 34 to the boldness of Peter and John in Acts 4, the...

Welcome to Season 2 of After Sunday ! This week, Alex is joined by our new co-host, Elissa, as they reflect on the revival of community and what it really means to be salt and light in a noisy, distracted world. Jesus’ call to shine like a city on a hill, Craig’s memorable coffee bean analogy, and how Christians can stay rooted are all topics at the table. They talk authenticity, social media pres...
