Commute with Crossroads

This week we dive into RAK Louisville as an organization, how it got started, and what you can do to help! We also discuss issues in church leadership and how we can bridge the gap between students who want to meet needs and the needs of our city!

Join Ben Michaels, Andrew Dunn, and special guest Jack Moore as we discuss the Christian response to the war in Iran, God suzerainty covenant, and how to be weird!

We're so back! Lead Pastor Ben Michaels along with co-host Andrew Dunn Executive Director of RAK Louisville begin our Christian conversations at the Crossroads of Christ and Culture. This week, we discuss topics such as toxic masculinity, religious feasts, and government overreach. But first, what's the worst form of potato??

In this episode, we dive into Acts 19, exploring how Paul’s ministry in Ephesus shows us what it means to truly be the church. 🙏 🔍 From the power of the Holy Spirit to the transformative impact of the Gospel, this chapter challenges us to consider: • How are we embodying the mission of the church today? • What does it look like to boldly live out our faith in a modern world? Tune in to learn pra...

This week we explore prayer.

This week we move into the imperative portion of Ephesians and we see Paul's priority for the church in Ephesus: Unity. Unity sounds nice, but what does it look like in the church, really?

As we go through Ephesians 3, we look at who Paul is, and what it means for Gentiles to be included in God's kingdom.

Last week we talked about what a gospel-centered church looks like. This week, we go through Ephesians 2 to discuss how to articulate the gospel!

This week we kick off a new series through the book of Ephesians about what it means to be a "gospel-centered" church. In this message, Ben walks through the major themes of Ephesians 1 and how they paint a picture of what a "gospel-centered" church looks like.

This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost and so we introduce ourselves to the Holy Spirit. 1. The Holy Spirit is the Person of God primarily present here on Earth. 2. The Holy Spirit is the Voice of God making His will known to us. 3. The Holy Spirit is the Power of God able to make His will a reality through us.

We wrap up our series on the life with the resurrected Jesus by studying the last recorded interaction with Jesus in Scripture: Revelation 22:12-20.

We continue our series on post-resurrection accounts by covering the four different "Great Commissions" found in Mark, Matthew, Luke, and Acts.

As we continue our series through the Resurrection, we hear today about John 21! This sermon was preached on April 28th, 2024.

Hey friends! We are re-implementing our podcast as a way of publishing and sharing the sermons from the previous Sunday. Give em' a listen or share with friends if you were there this past Sunday! This week Pastor Ben talks through Jesus' idea of church and what the logical conclusion must be when we talk about Church being a "gathering" of people.

Pastor Jeff's last episode! This week we talk about how to read a book (if you don't know how, then this episode is for you), how to evaluate your fruitfulness, and how Christians should respond to the Titan submersible. Give it a listen!

We're back after our break! It's June so we have a long list of exciting things to discuss! This week talk about our opinions on being stuck in traffic (Spoiler: We don't like it), the value of personal discipleship, and if and how Christians should boycott! Give it a listen!

This week we discuss our best and worst boat experiences. Jeff also has a huge announcement and we discuss how and why the SBC is removing Saddleback from their fellowship. We also will spend time in prayer and mourning for the families and victims of the gun violence in Louisville this past Monday. 

This week we discuss made up words, the leadership of the Israelites in the Promised Land, and the recent school shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, TN and how Christians should we respond. 

This week we talk turkey about our upcoming Holy Week, how bad feelings don't justify doing bad things, the pronunciation of "examen", and what movie wins Jeff Siems' coveted Best Picture award! It's our best episode yet!

This week we talk about how to pass the time (Skip to 19:22 if you're already an expert on that), Holy Week at Crossroads, how to move from fear to faith, and how Christians should react to the war in Ukraine!

We think we can commit to a every-other-week release schedule! This week we talk about what three guests we would want to have dinner with (spoiler: Jesus is involved). We then talk about what it looks like to be led by the Holy Spirit, and how we can experience the same spontaneity that led to the revival going on at Asbury University!

Don't worry, we only spend the first 20 minutes planning Valentine's day and coming up with a name for Jeff's car. After that, we talk about what your ministry could be, the theme of Acts, and the Super Bowl!

We're back in the new year with a new episode! This episode we play "would you rather?" then dive into our hopes for our church in the coming year and ask "what does it mean to find our identity in Christ?" Then we look at the frustration of mass cancelations by southwest airlines during the holiday season and discuss how Christians are called to act in those situations. Give it a listen!
