Week 2 in our study of Psalms leads us to the theme of knowing that the God of the universe listens and hears us. This is such an important thing to know and grasp as a Christian! Be sure to listen and share this with your friends who need to hear it!

In this episode we recap a few memories from the Reset Retreat 2025, and discuss what Jesus would have been like as a teenager! Make sure to listen to this episode and share it with your friends!

We begin a brand new series and study into the major themes of the book of Psalms. King David wrote a lot about the ups and downs of his journey of being the King of Israel in this amazing book, and we find that through these Psalms, God is a personal God who cares so deeply about us and saves us in so many ways!

Steve Ernst speaks on the importance of preparing our hearts and minds for what God has for us before we went to the Reset Retreat! Give this message a listen and be sure to share it with your friends!

Listen in as we conclude our series in Jonah. Chapter 4 finds Jonah wanting the city of Nineveh to get God's judgment, God however had other plans.

Our series in Jonah goes into chapter 3. Jonah offers a message of repentance of their sin, and the whole city of Nineveh responds powerfully. We too are offered new life by turning to Jesus and repenting of our sins, and in that we find forgiveness, hope and joy! Give this a listen and be sure to share it with your friends!

Listen into week #2 of our series of Jonah! We take a deep dive into the surrender that Jonah makes as he cries out to God for salvation from the belly of the fish in chapter 2. Be sure to share this episode with friends!

Have you ever been peer pressured before? Is there such thing as good peer pressure? What is the best pop tart flavor? Why did Matt and Gavin get pulled over by police in the church van? All of these questions and more answered in our latest episode! Also, Evan Matthews makes his first (and maybe only) appearance on the podcast!

We took a break from our series on idols to talk about something the Lord was laying on Nate’s heart with everything going on with a few of our students in youth group. Turmoil and tragedy and hardships of life happen to all of us at some time in our life. Nate gives 10 biblical steps on how we should respond when the world feels like it’s crashing down around us.

We begin a brand new series on the dangers of idols in our life. We may not all have images or statues in our houses that we worship, but it is so easy to have idols in our life that steal our worship from God. Feel free to give this a listen and share this with your friends!

Our final week of our series on friendships and relationships! Feel free to give it a listen and share with your friends if they missed it!

Week 3 of our series on relationships dives into the topic of dating. As Nate states, “everyone has an opinion on dating.” And the Bible doesn’t clearly give us anything specific on dating. But there are numerous principles that we can apply to our potential dating relationships. Give this a listen and feel free to share!

Week 2 of our series on friends introduces the idea of being the friend that we want our friends to be! Special speaker Steve Ernst brought the HEAT on this message!

The CSM conversations are finally back! This conversation was one of the most off-the-rail ones we have had yet. Abi Hammaker joined Gavin and Nate to discuss things like Valentine's Day, whether should teens be dating in high school and topics that should be covered in youth group messages. All in all, it was a great conversation filled with a lot of laughs and a lot of good insightful discus...

Our series on prayer continues as we dive into the diverse ways that we find in scripture to communicate with God. Be sure to share this with your friends who may have missed it.

We begin the new year with a brand new series on the power of prayer!

Our second week of our dive into being offended spurred on some more great conversation! Give it a listen and feel free to share with a friend!

We started a brand new series this last week all about being offended. Pastor Nate challenged us with the principle from James 1 “be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” Give this first week a listen and share it with your friends.
