Another Look Podcast

A quiet snowfall, a hard goodbye, and a diagnosis no one asks for. That’s where we start—grounded in real life—before turning to a bigger, braver question: what happens when faith gets co-opted by power and polished into something unrecognizable? We share a candid update about loss and healing, then explain why we’re launching The Valley Walk on YouTube to encourage anyone facing chronic or termin...

A closed door changed everything. On Christmas Eve, we pause with gratitude and face a hard question: which side of the threshold are we living on—comfort, compromise, or courageous surrender? We reflect on self-examination, walk through Jesus’ invitation to ask, seek, and knock, and reframe it as a path to spiritual good rather than a vending machine for our wishes. That frame opens space for an...

Ever sat in a prayer circle and felt the flow snap—not because God went silent, but because someone turned a prayer into a performance? In this episode, we dive into the anatomy of prayer that heals versus prayer that harms. Along the way, we name what many feel but rarely say: lectures at people are not petitions to God, and eloquent words can still miss His heart. We map out three modes of conve...

A quiet return turns into a bold challenge: keep the message pure, the mission clear, and the heart soft. We open with gratitude for unexpected growth and a frank look at why we’re staying unmonetized until God says otherwise, even as we prepare to expand into video. That decision isn’t about playing small—it’s about guarding motives, finding partners who value obedience over brand, and keeping th...

Have you ever noticed how easily we elevate people and things to positions they were never meant to occupy? David's ancient wisdom in Psalm 146 speaks directly to our modern tendency to create idols out of politicians, pastors, celebrities, careers, and possessions.

Have you ever faced hardship only to have well-meaning Christians ask what you did wrong to deserve it? This deeply moving exploration challenges one of the most damaging mindsets in modern Christianity—the belief that suffering always results from sin. Growing up, we're conditioned to see the world through cause and effect. This same thinking often infiltrates our faith, creating a toxic spi...

Some conversations are born from the deepest parts of our hearts. This is one of them. Tonight, Minister Ken sets aside his prepared content to address something weighing heavily on his soul: the recent loss of childhood friends from Willingboro, New Jersey. With raw emotion, he reflects on the passing of Kevin Hayes, who taught him to play drums, and Robbie Parlow, a member of R&B group City...

Have you ever considered that your greatest weakness might actually be your greatest spiritual strength?

Have you ever felt weighed down by guilt, shame, or condemnation? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into Romans 8:31-37 to uncover the enemy's three-part strategy against believers—and why it's destined to fail. Satan works methodically: first charging us with wrongdoing, then condemning us by defining us through our mistakes, and finally attempting to separate us from Christ's...

What happens when the struggle isn't scarcity, but abundance?

I think it's a fair statement to assume everyone desires to live in peace.  The reality is our lives sometimes seem less than peaceful and it's natural to think our lack of peace is due to external factors.   However, have you considered that maybe the source of your unrest or chaotic life could be based on what dwells in you? Let's take another look at the role we play in the chaos...

I grew up as a person who relished the ability to fight and war with others.  I thought it was something to admire and cherish to the point I became a highly skilled fighter trained in various martial arts.  Not saying anything is wrong with studying the martial arts, but my reasons for doing it were not honorable. As I have matured and have followed Christ my mind has been renewed to understand t...

God desires to be the object of our affection but, as fallible vessels, we often mistakenly set our affection on everything and everyone but God. Guess what? He wasn't caught off guard by this which is why He said He would give us the desires or affections, of our heart.  But what happens when our God-given affections become twisted, distorted, or misprioritized?  Let's talk about it. Se...

In our previous episode we focused on the end goal of what's at the end of our hard season(s).  The difficulty is our mindset when we are experiencing hardships. We typically adopt a victim mentality when we are in hardships but when we make the conscious decision to seek God's perspective and perception while in our hard season(s) it allows us to endure those seasons like a good soldier...

Pain and suffering is not considered a good or positive experience for most of us.  If we are being honest we find it hard to believe anyone enjoys experiencing pain or suffering in life. Frankly, it stinks! But let's take "another look" at pain and suffering.  Could there be something God is up to when He allows us to experience pain and/or suffering?  And what mindset does He expe...
