This week on Made For Mondays, Joe hosts with Heather, Jamey, and RaChelle for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on persecution, justice, and what it means to be an irresistible, resurrection-shaped church.

The crew kicks things off with weekend stories and Bible Reading Challenge reflections before diving into a What the What?! question from Zach: How do we know Paul wasn’t just using Jesus’ return as a motivational tactic—like Santa for grown-ups? Jamey breaks down why the early church lived with such confidence in Jesus’ return and why their hope was grounded in reality, not rhetoric.

In the Sunday Dish, Heather recaps her message and gives a behind-the-scenes look at ICN (International Church Network) and what it means for Believers to be part of a global movement of churches. The team swaps their favorite ICN stories, talks faith on road trips, and unpacks a powerful testimony from a persecuted believer in China that reshaped their perspective on faith, suffering, and spiritual grit.

Listeners also sent in two big questions:
• How do we “leave room for God’s wrath” and pursue justice without revenge?
• What does an irresistible, resurrection-centered church actually look like in a comfortable, Western context?

Jamey and Heather work through these with honesty and clarity.

Finally, the team walks through this week’s Next Steps, rooted in 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12—three practical practices designed to help all of us deepen our faith, love others well, and stand with the global church.

💡 Next Steps:

Pray 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12 each morning

Show Jesus’ love to one person in a tangible way

Fast from one meal to pray for persecuted believers

This week on Made For Mondays, Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Tyler keep the conversation rolling in our Get Ready series with a powerful look at 1 Thessalonians 5 — and some deep listener questions you won’t want to miss.

As we celebrate Veterans Day, the crew kicks off with a couple of big “What the What?!” questions from our inbox — including how to handle Christian content creators who mix faith and politics, and what it really means that Jesus is both God and the Son of God. Jamey helps untangle these with biblical wisdom and clarity.

Then in the Sunday Dish, Tyler unpacks the message Live Like Him Now and reminds us that knowing how it ends should shape how we live today. The group talks about encouraging others, loving differently in a culture that celebrates retaliation, and what it means to keep the Holy Spirit’s fire alive in our lives.

💡 Big Idea: We’ll live with Him then — so let’s live like Him now.

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Get Ready series with a powerful message from 1 Thessalonians 4 called Hope in the Resurrection.

Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Tyler unpack Paul’s encouragement to believers who were grieving loved ones that had died before Jesus’ return. The conversation dives deep into why our hope in Christ changes how we face death and loss—and how knowing how it ends changes how we live.

From what happens when we die, to what it means that “the dead in Christ will rise first,” to why the resurrection matters for our future and our faith today—this episode helps bring clarity and comfort to some of life’s biggest questions. You’ll also hear honest reflections on grief, hope, and how we can walk with others through loss.

💡 Big Idea: Knowing how it ends changes how we live.

📖 Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 | 2 Corinthians 5:8 | 1 Corinthians 15:35–57 | John 11:25–26
