Cultivating Growth

We are going to spend some time this month studying the shortest books of the New Testament - the four one-chapter letters of Philemon, 2 John, 3 John and Jude.  This week is all about Philemon; a short, personal letter, written by Paul to a dear friend of his named Philemon. The letter addresses what could be a sensitive topic between the two of them but Paul respects and trusts Philemon enough t...

In this episode we discuss all of Genesis 1-3 with our guest Phil Morgan. We talk about God and His power shown in Creation, as well as His relationship with man. We talk about sin and temptation and our introduction to Satan as a liar from the beginning. Marriage is introduced and the importance of that relationship to man. Join us in our conversation from this important text from the beginning o...

Even when given everything, man is still susceptible to temptation. Genesis 3 teaches a lot of very important lessons about the result of sin and the impact that it has on our relationship with God and with each other.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

Our good friend, and fellow preacher, from Louisville, Scott Beyer, joins us this week to wrap up our conversation about the 7 letters found in Revelation 2-3. We talk about why these letters are recorded for us, what we can learn about God through reading them and touch on some of our main takeaways from this study.  Questions for us?

The last three of these seven letters, found in Revelation 3, are written to churches that are all in very different places. Sardis might have looked the part from an outsider's perspective but it's reality was very different, Philadelphia may not have been the most impressive looking church but was persevering in an admirable way, and Laodicea was a church that needed to rediscover its...

The next two letters, both found in Revelation 2, speak to churches that are both being influenced by false teaching. And both instances encourage us to look back to two Old Testament figures...Balaam and Jezebel.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

This week we dive into the first two of the 7 letters recorded for us in Revelation 2-3. Ephesus is a church we know a lot about from Paul's journeys and the letter bearing their name. Smyrna, however, is not as well known. Both churches have some good things going for them and both are facing some challenging circumstances. Sound familiar?  Questions for us?

Our special guest this week is one of our friends from Traders Point, Nathan Rentschler. Together, we spend some time discussing David's prayer in Psalm 51 as we close out the month.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

In Nehemiah chapter 1, after receiving news that the people back in Jerusalem aren't doing well, Nehemiah prays. He confesses sin, showcases repentance and asks God for mercy. It is a wonderful prayer with lots to learn.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

You simply can't do a study on Old Testament prayers without spending some time with Hezekiah. Not only was he was an important king in the nation of Judah but he left behind two great examples of what it means to seek God's guidance and blessings first.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

In this episode we look at two prayers by Hannah; the first in 1 Samuel 1 and the second in 1 Samuel 2. Both of these prayers give us insight into the faith of Hannah and provide us some strong application that we need to consider making to our prayer lives today.  Questions for us?

In this final episode about the circumstances surrounding and immediately after Peter's denial we are joined by a guest and we discuss the whole matter.   Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

This week we discuss the last recorded conversation that we have between Peter and Jesus. A conversation that not only speaks to the restored relationship between the two of them but also Jesus' intent on preparing Peter for what's next.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

It wasn't long after Peter vehemently told Jesus that he would die before denying Jesus that that proclamation was put to the test. And sadly, in that moment of testing, Peter failed.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

This month we are going to spend some time discussing the prediction of Peter's denial, the denial itself and finally the aftermath of the denial. All four gospel accounts discuss this story line and tell us about the confrontational back and forth between Jesus and Peter as Jesus tells His followers that they are going to stumble.  Questions for us?

In this episode we spend time talking about the story of Gideon from beginning to end with our guest Dustin Russell. We talk about God's call to Gideon as well as the battle itself, and also the aftermath.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

In this episode we conclude the story of Gideon, and it is a complicated ending. After a great victory in chapter 7, Gideon seems to struggle with how and where to go to next. We talk about all the ups and downs of the chapter in this episode.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

The conversation continues this week in Judges 7. This is perhaps the most well-known part of Gideon's story. God is not only going to continue to demonstrate His incredible patience but He will also make sure that everyone knows that He is in control and victory is achieved only by Him.  Questions for us?

This month we are going to be discussing the story of Gideon - one of God's chosen judges to lead Israel out of the Midianite oppression. This week, the conversation will be focused on Judges 6.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

The story of Cornelius isn't one that can be thoroughly discussed in just 15 minutes. But we gave it our best shot! It's an amazing story of the gospel of Jesus being taken to the Gentiles and a devout, God-fearing man, anxious to receive it.  Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

This week is all about Saul (who will later be known as the apostle Paul). There are many unique details about his conversion but also many consistencies between his conversion and the others that we have discussed this month. The events take place in Acts 9 but Paul will then recount his conversion on two other occasions in Acts...Acts 22 and 26. Enjoy the conversation this week!  Questions for u...

When Phillip was sent to the Ethiopian Eunuch he found him reading from the prophet Isaiah, began where he was, and taught him Jesus. That method is still as powerful and fruitful today as it was then. Meet people where they are and teach them Jesus! Questions for us? Send us a Text Message!

On the Day of Pentecost, the apostles, inspired by the Holy Spirit, began to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Peter spoke of Jesus's death, burial and resurrection.
