Lead Biblically Podcast

For years, I’ve approached online teaching differently from live preaching. I’d study, write a full manuscript, load it into a teleprompter, and deliver it. But lately I’ve been wrestling with something: In a world shaped by AI, polished content can start to feel distant, scripted and artificial. I don’t want that for my content. So, in this video, I open up about a major shift happening on the Le...

Have you ever scrolled through your phone and realized that everyone seems to have their own version of the truth? We're told that's fine, that we can all just live our own truth and get along. But if you've ever tried that at a family dinner or in a hard conversation with a friend, you know it doesn't hold up once real life and real disagreement show up. This message kicks off...

Culture has been telling women one of two stories for a long time. The first says her value is found in a man, that her identity belongs behind him. The second says she doesn't need anyone (especially a man); that independence is strength and dependence is weakness. Most women I know have been shaped by one or the other. And both stories are wrong. In this final week of our Knotted series, we...

Most people enter relationships hoping another person will finally make them feel whole. We look for someone to remove the loneliness, calm the restlessness, and carry the weight of our deepest needs. But what happens when they can’t? What happens when the relationship starts bending under pressure? In this message, we go back to the very beginning of Scripture to uncover a deeper foundation for m...

Most men enter relationships looking for something. A sense of purpose. A place to belong. Someone to make the unsettled feeling go away. But what if that's exactly the wrong way to start? In this message from our KNOTTED series, we go back to Genesis 2 and look at what God does with the man before the woman ever arrives. He gives him a place to rest, work that matters, and a charge to keep w...

You preached it. You studied it. You prayed over it. And then when the series ended, it got archived. That's the quiet tragedy most pastors never talk about. The messages that moved people on a Sunday morning are sitting on a hard drive collecting digital dust. The congregation was impacted. Some still think about what they heard. But the sermons never went anywhere beyond that room. They sho...

Have you ever asked yourself, "How am I ever going to get through this?" You're deep in a hard chapter, wondering if it's ever going to turn. Some of you are living that right now. The Book of Ruth starts exactly there. Loss. Uncertainty. Grief. But what makes this story remarkable isn't how Naomi or Ruth found their way out. It's what God was quietly doing the whole...

You know what you need to do. You've known for a while now. But you keep telling yourself the timing isn't right, or you're waiting for a sign, or you just need a little more clarity before you can move. Sound familiar? Most of us are better at circling decisions than making them. We dress up hesitation and call it patience. We wait for certainty that never comes. But patience and h...

When was the last time someone who genuinely loved you gave you advice you didn't want to hear? There's a moment in most of our lives where we're standing at a crossroads, and someone older, wiser, or more experienced reaches out with a word. Maybe it's a parent. A mentor. A grandparent. And we have a choice: roll our eyes and move on, or stop, listen, and trust that what they...

Most of us are using the wrong filter when it comes to relationships. We lead with chemistry. The spark, the connection, the way someone just clicks with you. And when the feeling fades, we're left wondering what went wrong. But what if the problem isn't who we chose? What if it's what we were looking for in the first place? In this message from our series Finding God in the Ordinar...

Are you in a season that feels unremarkable? No burning bush. No voice from heaven. Just ordinary Tuesdays that don't seem to matter much. That's exactly where Ruth found herself. A widow in a foreign land, picking up leftover grain in a stranger's field, with no idea that God was already working ahead of her. No miracle. No angel directing her path. Just a woman showing up faithful...

Have you ever made a decision that made complete sense at the time, and it still cost you? Not a reckless call. Not an impulsive mistake. Just a reasonable next step that quietly took you somewhere you never intended to go. A job that looked good on paper. A relationship with no red flags that still drained you. A financial move that seemed like wisdom but compounded in ways you didn't see co...
