  • Are the Gospels Reliable? What History Actually Tells Us

    Are the Gospels Reliable? What History Actually Tells Us
    Jan 1 2026
    We're back with a brand-new series, Not Just Stories: A Guide to the Gospels! Over the next few weeks, we'll be tackling your questions surrounding the Gospels in hopes that we all get more from this important section of Scripture designed to introduce us to and draw us closer to Jesus. When God’s Spirit is at work in us, one of the most natural desires we develop is to know His Word. In this episode, Keith and Patrick kick off this new series by answering a few foundational questions to help us understand his Word more deeply: Who wrote the Gospels? When were they written? Who were they written for? And can we trust that the events they describe really happened? Along the way, they explore historical evidence, eyewitness testimony, and why the Gospels deserve far more confidence than they’re often given. This episode lays the groundwork for reading the Gospels, not just faithfully, but thoughtfully. 🔔 Subscribe now as we continue to tackle your questions and dive deeper into the basics of the Gospels.

    How to Build Friendships That Actually Make You Happy
    Dec 2 2025
    We all want to be happy. But most of us chase the wrong things to get there. Studies repeatedly show that money and success won’t bring lasting joy. The Bible said it first: real happiness is found in relationships. In this episode, Patrick and Keith explore why we’re wired for community, what kinds of friendships we need to grow in faith, and how to become the kind of friend others need. Because Christianity is a community project and nobody becomes a saint by themselves. 🔔 Subscribe now and be sure to join us for our upcoming series in 2026 where we'll tackle your questions and dive deeper into the basics of the Gospels. 🤔 Have a question you want to submit for our next series on the Gospels?

  • Deny Yourself: The Surprising Path to True Happiness

    Deny Yourself: The Surprising Path to True Happiness
    Nov 18 2025
    The world says, “Follow your heart.” But Jesus says, “Deny yourself.” In this episode, we're sharing the next step to sainthood: self denial. Listen as Keith and Patrick challenge the modern idea that happiness comes from chasing your desires, citing where Jesus taught the opposite: real joy comes from denying yourself and following him. The two explore why self-denial isn’t restrictive; it's freeing. You’ll learn how self-focus (whether through pride or shame) keeps you trapped, how secular studies have also proven that self-denial leads to greater happiness, and how to practice the discipline of surrender in everyday life. We hope this episode leaves you asking: Am I self-serving or serving God? 🔔 Subscribe now and join us for the next episode as we continue exploring how we can build a lasting, full-time faith. 📫 Want Sunday's best for your Monday morning inbox?

    How to Measure Spiritual Growth (According to God)
    Nov 11 2025
    How do you know if you’re actually growing spiritually? Most of us measure faith the wrong way: by what we do instead of who we’re becoming. In this episode, Patrick and Keith explore how God measures spiritual growth, why giftedness doesn’t equal godliness, and how focusing on checklists can actually stunt your maturity. You’ll learn what true growth looks like, what the Bible says about godly character, and how to measure your progress the way God does: slowly, deeply, and from the inside out. 🔔 Subscribe now and join us for the next episode as we continue exploring how we can build a lasting, full-time faith. 📫 Want Sunday's best for your Monday morning inbox?

    Falling into Sin…Again? How to Get Back Up After Spiritual Failure
    Oct 21 2025
    What do you do when you fall into sin... again? Most of us try to fix it, hide it, or pull ourselves up by sheer willpower. But the Bible shows us a different pattern: God always takes the first step. In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack the biblical examples of Adam and Eve, Abraham, David, and the prodigal son to reveal a powerful truth: God always makes the first move. No one gets back up on their own. And it’s always by God’s grace. You’ll discover how God draws us out, restores us, and even gives us the desire to return. If you’ve felt stuck, hopeless, or too far gone, this conversation will remind you of the God who won’t let you stay down. 🔔 Subscribe now and join us for the next episode as we continue exploring how we can build a lasting, full-time faith. 📫 Want Sunday's best for your Monday morning inbox?
