Disagreements happen in every church, ministry, and small group. The question isn’t if we’ll disagree — it’s how we handle it.

In this episode of the Upper Room Podcast, we explore the difference between unity and uniformity and why protecting unity in the church matters so much. Looking at Ephesians 4 and Romans 14, we discuss how spiritual maturity helps us distinguish between biblical convictions, wise decisions, and personal preferences.

Not every disagreement is a battle worth fighting. And not every hill is Calvary.

When we learn to guard unity while standing firm on truth, the church becomes a powerful witness to the world.

Why does it bother us so much when we aren’t asked?

In Week 2 of the “It’s Not About Me” series, Mike Hobbs explores the deeper heart issue behind the question, “Why didn’t they ask me?”

Looking at passages from James, Matthew, and Proverbs, this episode challenges us to examine pride, identity, and the desire for recognition — and invites us to embrace the kind of humility and service that Jesus calls true greatness.

In this episode of The Upper Room, Mike talks about what it means to fully rely on God when life becomes uncertain. Through personal reflection and Scripture, we explore how trust in God grows not in comfortable moments, but in seasons of fear, waiting, and unanswered questions.
