When it comes to how we see ourselves, Christians know all the right answers; we are created in God's image, fearfully and wonderfully made and worth enough for Jesus to die for. However, when it comes to actually believing this, many of us struggle to walk it out.
What does this look like, and where does it come from? More importantly, how can we overcome self-doubt and self-hate to be able to share the love of Christ with those around us? After all, if we are not able to love ourselves, how can we expect to love the ones we have been sent to serve?

COVID-19, protests, rioting and economic collapse; with everything going on so far in 2020, does the Church have a voice and a message that the world needs right now?
In Matthew 23, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees with several "woes." His main criticism of the religious leaders of the day was that they were in danger of missing out on the Kingdom of God. Not only that, Jesus said, but they were actively preventing their people from entering the Kingdom as well.
Fast forward to today, and the warning is just as applicable to Christians today. Are we leading people closer to Jesus or further away? Are we trusting in Jesus or something else like politics, economics or social standing? As Jesus' conversation with the Pharisees shows, there is a lot on the line.

Studies show that, in various important categories, Christian relationships are not that distinguishable from the rest of the culture. From divorce rates and pornography use to views on premarital sex and cohabitation; the numbers are almost identical to those of our neighbors.
If our lives as Christians need to reflect Jesus, then shouldn't our romantic relationships represent Jesus too? If Jesus is supposed to change and renew every aspect of our individual lives, shouldn't our relationship exemplify this as well? So why is that so often not the case, and how can we change it?
If there's room for growth in your relationship, present or future, you won't want to miss this episode!

Steve and Vicki Orsillo are away this week, so we are presenting a message Steve preached in April. It follows a theme that we have been discussing a lot on recent podcasts: the need to live and be different, transformed, uncommon.
In the gospel of John, Jesus performed his first miracle, or sign, at a wedding feast. He took something common (water) and changed it into something uncommon (wine). Not just any wine either, but the best.
If you’re interested in uncommon spiritual growth, look no further!

The idea of change is at the forefront of our minds these days. With everything that has taken place so far just in 2020––COVID-19 lockdowns, protests over police brutality, increasing political polarization––it is natural to think about enacting change.
Yet how do we, as Christians, approach changing the world around us? Are we pointing out problems in our world without first examining our own lives? As followers of Jesus, we have an example of revolutionary change that transformed the entire course of history. How can we follow in Jesus’ footsteps and learn from his radical life?

What do we mean when we talk about the concept of revival? What is revival, and what purpose does it serve? Where did we get the idea in the first place, and is there a biblical precedent?
Depending on your background and the stream of Christianity you find yourself in, these answers can be quite different. Is it like regularly scheduled spiritual maintenance to bring our focus back to God? Is it all about experiencing the manifestations of the Holy Spirit? This week on the show, Steve and Vicki answer these questions and more as they unpack the idea of revival.

How would you define Christianity? How does that definition affect the way you live as a Christian? If you struggle to answer these questions with confidence, you’re not alone.
The Bible tells us that God doesn’t change. However, as we read it, we realize that his interactions with people do involve different agreements, called covenants. The bible is full of them, and Jesus came to initiate the final one: the New Covenant.
What happens when we don’t fully comprehend that New Covenant? Can we mix and match with the ones that came before? Tune in to find out.

If you’re a Christian, chances are you’ve lost sleep over the question, “What is God’s will for my life?” We seem to wrestle with this question on an almost daily basis. When it comes down to big decisions, or even the general direction of our lives, are we actually looking to God for the answers? After all, everyone wants to know they are headed the right way, but most people don’t like asking for directions.
Could the answer to this question be right in front of us?

The problem of anxiety and depression is running rampant in our society today. What is the cause, what are the effects, and what can we do about it?
Until recently, these afflictions did not seem to be widespread within Christianity. That is not the case today, and it seems like more Christians than ever are struggling. How can hopelessness and fear be so prevalent among those who claim to know the Prince of Peace and His hope and joy? How can we regain that peace ourselves and transform our neighbors’ lives in the process?
