Anchored /// The Truth About His Love
1w ago00:51:29Tap to summarizeWhat if the most pivotal moment of your spiritual journey isn't about what you can do, but what has already been done for you? Join us as we look at how Jesus serves as the ultimate high priest, stepping behind the curtain to anchor our souls with a secure and steadfast hope. By comparing religious activity with the radical freedom of God's grace, we uncover the true meaning of the cross and the forgiveness of sins. We explore ancient sacrifices and prophetic visions to see how God beautifully exchanges our hidden shame and brokenness for His perfect righteousness. Find the relief when you can stop trying to earn your way into God's favor and discover a life built entirely on sheer gratitude, perfect love, and true relief. Speaker: Greg Holder

Join us as we dive into the tension between fast-moving tech and our timeless faith, looking at the traps of "cognitive surrender" and modern-day tech solutionism. We'll see how the story of theTower of Babel relates to this conversation, as we look at how to use these powerful new digital tools wisely without letting them replace our God-given agency or our capacity for deep, authentic relationships. Whether you're excited, skeptical, or just trying to keep up, join us as we learn how to anchor our faith firmly in Jesus. Speaker: Greg Holder

May 1700:47:40Tap to summarizeIn a world filled with constant uncertainty and social media-fueled dread, many of us find ourselves struggling with anxiety and honest questions about faith. Today we explore how God provides a sure and steady anchor for the soul to keep us from drifting through life's storms. We unpack the ancient covenant ceremony in Genesis 15, we discover how God unconditionally bound Himself to His promises, proving that He will always pay the price to rescue us. Whether you are navigating a personal trial or trying to heal from painful experiences, you are invited to cast your anxieties on Jesus, the One Who intimately cares for you. Learn how to stop drifting, hold fast to biblical hope, and trust the God who always keeps His word. Speaker: Greg Holder
Transcribe →Going Public /// Going Public
May 900:39:25Tap to summarizeWe explore the deep biblical meaning of baptism, tracing its roots from the Jordan River crossing in Joshua to the baptism of Jesus and the early church. We see that baptism not as a ritual that saves, but a powerful public declaration of faith, forgiveness, new life, and allegiance to Jesus Christ. We unpack how baptism serves as a memorial, a witness, and a step of obedience for those who have already trusted Jesus. Faith often requires stepping into the water before seeing the miracle. Speaker: Greg Holder

We bridge the gap between the Garden of Eden and the New Jerusalem, showing how God’s plan for humanity comes full circle. Discover a future where evil is defeated, death is destroyed, and every tear is wiped away. This is the beginning of the "real story" that goes on forever. Speaker: Greg Holder

Apr 2600:47:37Tap to summarizeWe unpack the powerful story of Paul at Mars Hill in Athens, where he addressed a city full of idols and introduced them to the "Unknown God". We explore how Jesus Christ, the exact representation of God's glory, provides hope for past failures and future longings. Learn how Paul engaged in meaningful spiritual conversations with philosophers without compromising the truth of the gospel. We dive into the magnitude of a Creator who is the Lord of heaven and earth, transcending human-made temples and inviting every person to authentically seek Him. . Speaker: Greg Holder
Transcribe →Peak Experiences: Part 2 /// Filled with the Spirit
Apr 1900:45:27Tap to summarizeWe explore the powerful story of Pentecost and how the Holy Spirit transformed a small group of followers into a movement that changed the world. We unpack the miraculous events of Acts 2, including the sound of violent wind and tongues of fire that signaled God's indwelling presence in everyday people. Learn how the Holy Spirit acts as our ultimate advocate and champion, helping us in our weakness and even groaning for us when we lack the words to pray. We examine how the same power that launched the early church is available to bring peace and courage to our lives today. Join us as we reflect on what it means to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, carrying God's light and hope into a weary world. Speaker: Greg Holder
Transcribe →Peak Experiences: Part 2 /// Go And Tell
Apr 1200:43:32Tap to summarizeWe explore Jesus’ ascension. We see why Jesus' physical departure was actually a necessary gift that allowed the Holy Spirit to empower and guide every believer.

We'll learn to take small, faithful steps while depending daily on God’s presence rather than our own strength. Speaker: Nathan Brown
