How to Pray Like Jesus - Easter 26`

Easter and New Year's look similar from the outside, both feel like a fresh start, a chance to finally get it together.

In this episode of After the Message , Chad unpacks what actually happens after someone comes to Christ. and why so many believers ar...

What if the most dangerous place in all of Scripture isn't a battlefield or a moment of temptation, but a worship service? In this episode of After the Message , Chad unpacks one of the most sobering moments in the Gospels: Palm Sunday. The crowds are celebrating. The palm branches are waving. The praise is loud.

In this episode we go deeper into week one of our Encountering Jesus series and unpack what repentance actually is in the Greek — metanoia, a change of mind. We talk about the walls we...

We just finished a four week series called "What No One Told You About Salvation" — and it was one of those series where every week something got left on the table. This is that conversation. In this episode we go back to week four and start where Jesus started — Matthew 5. You are the light of the world. Not become it. Not earn it. You already are. We unpack what that means, get into th...
