Go With God

Do you ever feel like you’re working hard, striving, and fighting, yet you aren’t actually getting anywhere? We often mistake "control" for progress because it feels tangible and immediate. But in this episode, we dive into why control is often an illusion that leaves us "heavy laden" and exhausted. Drawing from Matthew 11, we explore Jesus’ invitation to a different kind of li...

In a culture that tells us "do more of what makes you happy," we often find ourselves exhausted, empty, and drifting. In this episode, we deconstruct the popular lie that the purpose of life is personal happiness. We dive deep into the biblical difference between being happy (a fleeting emotion based on circumstances) and being blessed (a fixed state of becoming like Jesus). If you’ve ev...

In this episode, we explore the heavy weight of certainty-based faith. For many of us, growing up in the church meant an emphasis on apologetics, debates, and having a "neatly tied bow" for every difficult question. But what happens when life hits—when suffering, loss, or intellectual questions arise—and that demand for 100% certainty begins to feel less like a foundation and more like a...

In this study of Matthew 25, we look at the final instructions Jesus gave His disciples before the cross. Standing in the shadow of His prophecy regarding the destruction of Jerusalem, the disciples asked "When?" and "What signs?" Jesus responds with three powerful parables that shift the focus from when He is coming to how we should live while we wait. We break down the chapte...

What do you do when the life you prepared for isn’t the life you’re living? In this episode, we dive into the first four chapters of Ezekiel. We find Ezekiel at 30 years old—the age he was supposed to begin his lifelong calling as a priest in the temple. Instead, he is 500 miles away, sitting by a canal in a land of exiles, wondering if his window of opportunity has closed. If you feel like you’re...

What happens when a leader has the perfect "look" but lacks the internal character to sustain it? In this episode, we dive deep into the life of King Saul—the first king of Israel—to create a psychological and spiritual profile of an insecure leader. We often think leadership is about stature, resources, and public opinion. However, Saul’s story is a sobering cautionary tale that shows h...

Have you ever had someone describe something to you, but when you finally saw it in real life, it was nothing like you imagined? Maybe it was a movie, a vacation spot, or even a person. We do the same thing with God. We hear about Him in chapel, we see Him on our feeds, and we talk about Him in small groups—but have you actually seen Him for yourself? In this special bonus episode of Go With God,...

We’ve all heard the phrase "God always blesses obedience," but what happens when your obedience doesn't lead to the outcome you expected? If you’ve been following God’s lead but find yourself in a "wilderness" season longer than you planned, this episode is for you. Today, we dive into Numbers 9 to look at the Israelites’ journey one year after the Exodus. Even though they...

Do you ever feel like your creative work isn't "real work" in the Kingdom of God? In this episode, we explore the theology of creativity and what it means to practice creative obedience. Whether you are an artist, a problem-solver, a parent, or an entrepreneur, your ability to create is a reflection of being made in the image of God. We dive deep into Exodus 31 to look at the stories...

In this special bonus episode, we’re diving into a question that changed my life: What am I holding back from Jesus? Drawing from the powerful story of Mary of Bethany in Mark 14, we explore what it truly means to live a "consecrated" life. Is it possible to be a disciple of Jesus and still be holding something back? From a broken bottle of perfume on a tiled bathroom floor to the expens...

In this episode, we tackle one of the most difficult commands in Scripture: loving your enemies. While we often feel pushback due to trauma, abuse, or the sheer weight of past hurts, Jesus offers a radical path that balances the ministry of reconciliation with the necessity of healthy boundaries. We explore why loving someone doesn't always mean letting them back into your life, and how to cre...

Why is it so hard to say "no" to the people we love? In this episode, we dive into the most requested topic: Relational Boundaries. We aren’t just looking at self-help; we’re looking at the life of Jesus to see how He managed His time, His energy, and His inner circle. Using the Gospel of Luke, we break down 5 practical boundaries Jesus implemented that you can use today to protect your...

Now that we’ve established Sabbath as the boundary of all boundaries, what do we do with the other six days? Whether your work is paid or unpaid, at home or in an office, creative or "normal"—you have work to do. But for many of us, the "daily grind" has become a source of burnout, identity crisis, or idolatry. In this episode, we look at why work isn't a consequence of the...

You know you need rest, but how do you actually make it happen in a world that never stops? In the second half of our deep dive into the Sabbath, we move from the "why" to the "how." We’re getting incredibly practical about establishing the most important boundary in your life: a 24-hour period set apart for God. In this episode, we break down the three essential steps to start...

Are you feeling exhausted, burnt out, or overwhelmed? In this episode, we dive into why Sabbath isn't just a suggestion—it is the foundational spiritual discipline that makes all other boundaries possible. We travel back to the first pages of the Bible to see how God established rest not as a response to burnout, but as a part of the original design for a good life. From the Garden of Eden to...

In this fourth and final installment of our Bible in a Year series, we reach the climactic end of the story from the warnings of the prophets to the glorious restoration in Revelation. As we close out our journey through the Word, we explore a profound divine contrast: the worthlessness of the idols we try to sustain versus the weight of a God who sustains us. We dive into the stupid idols of Jere...

In this third episode of our Bible in a Year recap series, we move into the season of reconstruction and mission. As we journey through Ezra, Nehemiah, and the Epistles, we tackle a question that hits home for every believer: Are we building our own brands, or are we building the Kingdom of God? From Nehemiah’s "good trouble" to the Haman trap of chronic discontentment, this episode expl...

In this second installment of our "Bible in a Year" recap, we continue our journey through the heart of the Old Testament and the expansion of the early Church. As we move from the silence of Ruth and Esther into the chaotic reigns of the kings and the steadfastness of the apostles, a central theme emerges: finding the strength to stay in the Word when life gets loud, quiet, or complicat...

In this episode, we dive into the first leg of Kaley’s "Bible in a Year" journey, reflecting on the profound lessons found in the first few months of last year. From the ancient covenants of Genesis to the challenging teachings of Jesus in Matthew and Luke, we explore a recurring theme: God doesn’t want our "work"—He wants our hearts. We discuss the "Graves of Craving&quot...

How do you find freedom from offense when you've been truly and deeply wronged? Following up on Part 1, this episode offers a path to healing by focusing on surrender and forgiveness. We dive into the difficult, but necessary, connection between dealing with offense and submitting to authority (Romans 13 & 1 Peter 2:19-25). The key to enduring lies in following Christ's example: when w...

Have you ever felt stalled in your faith because you’re holding onto a deep hurt? This is the topic I've been avoiding for a while: offense. The reality is that we are an offended people. We talk about why we hold onto the past, and explore the reasons why we want to avenge ourselves. Learn how resentment and bitterness become the enemy's most effective tool—a stumbling block and a trap fo...

Are we making idols out of our pastors? This episode dives into the intense cultural chaos surrounding church leadership. We talk about both the tendency to put leaders on pedestals and the widespread "witch-hunting" happening online. Using foundational truths from the book of Hebrews, we prove that Jesus is the better pastor, superior to every human system and every earthly leader. In t...

What does it really mean to love your enemies? In this episode, we dive into one of the hardest teachings of Jesus: loving those who hurt, betray, or misunderstand us. Drawing from Luke 6 and Romans 12, we’ll unpack what sets Christian love apart from every other kind of love. This isn’t about pretending everything’s okay or ignoring pain. It’s about becoming more like Jesus and letting His charac...

We all know the feeling: you’re working hard at your job, serving your family, or pursuing a ministry dream, and it feels completely pointless. This episode is a candid peek into my own journal, where I wrestle with the doubt that what I’m doing isn't "working" or isn't "big" enough. We need daily encouragement (Hebrews 3:13) to fight the lie that faithfulness must be v...

Lately, I've been wrestling with what it truly means to be a Jesus follower, especially when observing the current climate among Christians online. Is it possible that we are so focused on being right or being loud that we're missing the single, defining mark of discipleship? We dive into John 13:35—the commandment Jesus gave His disciples just hours before His betrayal and arrest: "B...
