The Final Answer for Loneliness | Finding the Belonging You Were Made For 28.06.2026 41:58
Maybe you've heard of the "loneliness epidemic". They say loneliness affects your body the same as smoking cigarettes. It turns out, it isn't just a new thing.

When You Can't See the Light | What to Do When the World Seems Dark 14.06.2026 43:40
The timing wasn't accidental. During a festival that celebrated God's presence through light, Jesus stood up and said, "I am the light of the world." Why did he say it then?

Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I Am the Bread of Life | What Jesus Actually Meant 31.05.2026 39:42

Why Jesus Is More Than Self-Help 24.05.2026 40:34

Don't Grow Alone | How Growth Happens in The Messiness of Relationship 10.05.2026 39:49

This week, Hannah Driskill shows us how spiritual growth is a process that only happens when we lean into the messiness of relationship. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio

It's not just the cravings for a chalupa at midnight. It's the desire for more rest, more relationships, more ....something. We all feel the pull on us to do things. Most of us respond in 1 of 2 ways: give in or shut it down. But both paths leave you empty. This week, Alli Patterson shows us God's third way, and how it can change everything. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohi...
Your Future Starts Now | How Living For the Future Means Taking Advantage of the Present 26.04.2026 42:51
Your future starts now. We dream about “someday”—the day when we’ll finally make that move, ask out the girl, or clean out the garage.

Hope Isn't Just a Nice Feeling | How to Have a Hope that Flips Cities 22.03.2026 46:37
When you hear the word "hope", you might think of soft, mushy feelings or a laundry room sign you saw at Michael's. But what if there was a real, tangible hope that didn't just make you feel good, it actually changed the world?

How to Actually Change | The Surprising Path to Real Character 15.03.2026 51:24
Imagine Las Vegas. Ok, now imagine it 100x worse. You might be starting to get an idea of what ancient Corinth might've been like.

This week, Kyle Ranson shows us the real, hard evidence of how God used Paul (who called himself "worst of sinners") to be transformed, and how we can...

Filmed in Athens, Greece, this message from Kyle Ranson explores how Paul endured a difficult season while standing before th...
How to Suffer Better | Turn Your Suffering Into Strength 01.03.2026 1:03:28
We have good news and bad news. Bad news: suffering exists. The good? God can actually use that suffering to make you better. That thing that is beating you down and makes you want to give up can be the very thing God uses to shape you into who He wants you to be. This week, we go on location with Kyle Ranson in the ancient city of Philippi to learn Paul's story of suffering and how God used it to...
Born to Run | How to Run the Race God Has Given You 22.02.2026 49:41
God didn't call you to a life on the sidelines. There's new ground God wants you to take — and it will stretch you beyond your comfort zone. That’s the point. This week, we dive into what Paul really meant when he said "run in a way to get the prize"—by actually following his footsteps in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey). This week, Kyle Ranson helps us to see what he saw then, and feel what God is call...
Run a New Race | The Life of Paul (Run Journey Week 0) 15.02.2026 41:34
What's #1 way to lose a race? To not know you're running one. Many of us are grinding away at our job, with kids, in our side hustles. But what if God has an entirely different race for you?

This week, Brian Tome shows us how God might be telling us to do t...

Why You Should Be Praying Ferocious Prayers 25.01.2026 42:55
