The Radiant Church Podcast

How often have you heard phrases like, “No one likes a fraud,” “You better back those words up,” “Do as I say, not as I do,” etc? Why do we find those statements to be so repulsive? It is because we want people’s actions to line up with their words. How someone lives is more important than what they say. In this final teaching in Christian-ish , Pastor Andrew walks us through the fruits of the Hol...

Do you love God for who He is or for what He does? Do you trust Him, even when things do not turn out the way you thought they would? Is your faith built on a premise of “cause and effect” systems or is it built on a relationship? In a challenging teaching, Pastor Andrew explains the difference between having a transactional faith and a faith built on trust and how important it is for us to have f...

It’s the first commandment given to Israel - “You shall have no other gods before me,” and yet it’s one of the most difficult commands to uphold. What really is idolatry and just how difficult is it for us to overcome idolatry in our lives? When God says, “I am a jealous God,” what does He even mean? Isn’t that petty of Him? Why would God be jealous? This challenging teaching pushes us to fully ex...

One of the hallmarks of someone who outwardly professes to be a Christian, but is not fully following God is selective obedience. God calls us to fully obey Him whether it seems difficult or not, whether we feel like the timing is not quite right, whether what God’s Word says lines up with our culture or doesn’t. Are you fully and completely obeying God? In this teaching, we learn from the story o...

Many people wear a label stating they’re Christians, but identifying as a Christian and living out your relationship with Jesus are two entirely different things. In this teaching, we learn how Jesus calls out “comfortable Christianity” and challenges us to live our faith in a real, authentic way. What are the signs you are living a comfortable form of Christianity? How do you break out of that ki...

Do you feel defeated? Are you in a season of your life which feels hopeless, as if you are completely overwhelmed? Have you reached a point in a trying situation where you feel as if God has abandoned you? In this teaching on Ezekiel 37, we learn that though we may feel despair, we can rest assured of this important truth: where we see defeat, God sees victory! Support & learn more about Radiant C...

If your dog could talk, what would he say? In one of the strangest stories in the Bible, we learn how God permitted a man’s donkey to actually talk! But, what is really the takeaway from this strange story? Pastor Andrew teaches how God will at times reroute our lives when we begin to go off course. Pay attention the voices God brings to you and be willing to humbly listen to what the Lord is tryi...

The Bible is full strange things, many of which seem as if they are more “myth” or “legend” than true. So, why are these strange stories included in the Bible? What important lessons is God trying to tell us through these strange things? In this first teaching of Strange Things, Pastor Andrew explains how the story of the Nephilim shows God is a God of order, justice, and second chances. Support &...

It’s an age-old question, but it may never be more important to answer than now: “What is my purpose?” As Artificial Intelligence progresses in the coming years, knowing who you are and your reason for being will be paramount.

Humanity has been in pursuit of truth for centuries. AI brings with it easy access to information, but is it always truthful? In an era where all truth is treated as relative, does absolute truth exist? If it does, can AI function as a source for absolute truth or is there another, better source, for which to build a foundation of truth on? In this second teaching in Divine Algorithms, we unpack t...

Do you recognize Jesus’ voice? In a world with so many different voices competing for your attention, can you clearly hear the voice of God? As we begin John 10, we learn how important it is to hear Jesus’ voice, how those who follow Jesus are able to recognize his voice from among so many others, and how Jesus has come to give us a life full of more joy, forgiveness, and God’s grace. Support & le...

When bad things happen, is it really God’s “curse” on your life? Can your sins be spiritually passed on to the next generation? Why is it so hard to grasp miracles? In this teaching on John 9, we learn how God works miracles which don’t always make sense. Like, say, Jesus spitting in dirt and rubbing the saliva-infused mud onto a man’s eyes! Not everyone will understand what God is doing when a mi...

When Jesus sets you free, you are truly free! Don’t continue to stay a slave to sin, live in the freedom Christ has come to give you!

Light is tremendously powerful. Darkness cannot overtake light. Plants need it to thrive. Harmful bacteria can be destroyed by it. Light is necessary for so many forms of life, including a life with Jesus. Breaking down what Jesus means by saying, “I am the light,” Pastor Andrew teaches on the importance of walking in the light, reflecting Christ, and living to our full God-given potential. Suppor...

“When God closes a door, a window opens!” or does it? What if it isn’t true that a “window” opens? What if when God closes a door, it’s on purpose? What if God intentionally redirects your life away from things you might want most to open up greater opportunities? Mission Church Campus Pastor Stephen Bailey teaches us the importance of trusting in God with each step we take. Whenever there are clo...

Few topics can be as controversial as “sin.” Many of us have different views not only on what sin is, but on how to deal with it. As we move into John 8, we learn how Jesus’ view of sin offers us an opportunity for complete forgiveness. God isn’t judging your sin, but He isn’t overlooking your sin either. So, just how does God deal with our sin? Support & learn more about Radiant Church https://ww...

Jesus has provided an open invitation for every person, regardless of their background or who they are, to follow him. Choosing to follow Jesus also leads to being filled with the Holy Spirit. As we conclude John 7, we learn what Jesus meant by “rivers of living water,” how yet again Jesus makes the implication he has replaced the Temple as the center of worship and connection to God, and how the...

As we continue working through John 7, we learn how Jesus’ authority challenged the hypocrisy of the Jewish leaders, how his authority did not come from rabbinic tradition, but God Himself, and how Jesus viewed his impending death not as a tragic ending, but rather as a departure.
