I AM: "The Light of the World" - Wk 3 27.06.2026 23:52
Jesus is perhaps the most controversial & influential person in all of human history. Most people have thoughts, opinions and questions about who He was (and is). Some even claim to know His will or be doing His work. Is that true? How can they be so sure? In the book of John, one of Jesus’ biographers records eight poetic metaphors Jesus uses to describe Himself. What do each of these things...

TL;DR (WK 3)- "WHY ISN’T IT WORKING?" 06.06.2026 35:16
Everybody has books, emails, and even text threads they intended to read but never got around to because it just felt like too much. So, you skimmed it. You got a sense of it. You can fake your way through a conversation about it. But it feels like so much work to dive in and dissect it. And that might be ok with a high school reading assignment, a text thread with golf buddies, or an all-staff em...

MIND GAMES: WK 5- "NO ONE COULD EVER LOVE ME FOR ME (Overcoming Insecurity)" BY MONICA RIVERA-PENA 19.05.2026 36:52
For most of us, the biggest bully we’ll ever face is in our own head. Every time things feel like they’re moving in the right direction, you’re rudely interrupted by negative thoughts, anxious spirals, self-doubt, and waves of regret. You’ve tried reading the verse of the day, positive affirmations, and even cold plunging—but it’s no use. Your brain bully is always two steps ahead. You didn’t sign...

PALM SUNDAY 31.03.2026 40:43
who in your life might benefit from you telling them about a different kind of parade? (30) About a different kind of savior. A different kind of kingdom. A different way of living and being. One that can actually deliver on what it promises. Because the reality of it is—the Roman philosophy didn’t even work for the people it worked for. Because no one is strong, wealthy, or right forever. In oth...
BETTER, STRONGER, GREATER: WK 4- "WHY IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST YOU AND JESUS (TOGETHER)" 24.03.2026 30:26
Most of us are doing our best to do it all on our own. We’re juggling our dreams and other’s expectations, work, relationships, finances, health. It’s overwhelming; often leaving us wondering if we have what it takes to keep going. With every passing week, we push harder and cope longer just to keep our head above water. Is this just the way it is? We wish we were better, stronger, greater, and mo...

PLANTED: WK 4 - "EXTEND THE TABLE" 27.01.2026 40:38
Opportunities materialize out of thin air. Any minute you could stumble onto a better job, bigger house, nicer school, or sexier partner, and skip off to where the grass is greener. Or so it seems. There’s something exciting and adventurous about all the potential possibilities. But truth is, it’s tough to build a meaningful life with one eye on the horizon and one foot out the door. At some point...

LYRICAL - wk 4 - "Silent Night" 27.12.2025 24:04
Nothing puts you in the Christmas spirit like the perfect holiday playlist. And by mid-November it’s everywhere—your car, the grocery store, the gym…jail. It soundtracks every aspect of our lives. You can’t escape it. And most of us don’t want to. It gives us all the feels we’ve waited all year for. We come to associate these songs with our own stories, but what are their stories? Where did they c...
