It's Time, Part 2 - Don't Stay Here | Bryant Golden

Life At It's Best // Ever felt like heaven didn’t seem that compelling? You would never say it out loud but you’ve thought it. For many people the idea of heaven is an existence separated from everything we know. But the reality is that we were created for life in this world. Ultimately, heaven is the fulfillment of God’s original design for this life and our world at its best.

"Keep Track" | Money Talks | Justin Elam

Christians are not expected to believe based solely on a collection of ancient manuscripts. The foundation of our faith is anchored to something far more substantial and sustainable.

Today, we dive into the foundational questions of faith: How do we know God exists? What role does the Bible play in our beliefs? Join us as we explore whether our faith should rest solely on ancient manuscripts or if there's something more substantial at the core of Christianity.

We challenge the notion that belief should be blind and invite you to investigate the reliability of the Gospels—specifically, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Discover why the resurrection of Jesus is the epicenter of our faith and how it launched a movement that has endured for centuries.

Whether you're curious about faith, returning to it, or grappling with doubts, this episode encourages you to ask hard questions and seek a deeper understanding. We also discuss the importance of building a robust faith framework, especially for the next generation.

Join us for an engaging discussion that aims to inspire both believers and skeptics alike.

Read along with the message: Luke 1:1–4

Key Topics:
The foundation of faith beyond ancient texts
The significance of the resurrection of Jesus
Investigating the reliability of the Gospels
Building a faith framework for the next generation


As we close, we invite you to reflect on your own faith journey and consider the questions that matter most to you. Let's explore together!

Whatever your next step is, take it. You don’t know what hangs in the balance.

In this episode, we explore the journey of faith and the importance of asking the tough questions. Many of us grow up hearing that "Jesus loves me," but as we mature, we often find ourselves seeking deeper answers. Join us as we discuss how Christianity began not with the Bible, but with a pivotal event in history—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We dive into the story of Peter, a fisherman who encountered Jesus in an unexpected and inconvenient way. Discover how Peter's willingness to say "yes" to Jesus' call transformed his life and led to a movement that changed the world. We also reflect on the significance of Jesus' teachings and how they challenge us to live counter-culturally.

Throughout the episode, we encourage listeners to consider what might be on the other side of their own "yes." Whether it's stepping into community, serving others, or simply inviting someone to church, we discuss the immeasurable opportunities that await when we embrace the inconvenient invitations from Jesus.

Join us for an inspiring conversation that challenges you to investigate your faith and take bold steps toward a deeper relationship with God.

Invitation | Investigating Jesus | Bradley Hamilton

Follow along with our chosen scripture: Luke 1:1–4; 3:1–3, 7–8, 10–11, 13–14, 16
Those who admired Jesus didn’t shape civilization. People who decided to act and do something did.

In this episode, we dive into the second part of our series on investigating Jesus. We start with a powerful question: If your life were a commercial, what would you be advertising? This episode challenges listeners to reflect on their lives and the messages they convey through their actions and interactions.

We explore the foundational question of faith: the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. Is the Gospel of Luke a reliable account of Jesus' life? We discuss the significance of Luke's meticulous investigation and the unprecedented nature of his writings in ancient history.

As we introduce John the Baptist, we examine his role as the forerunner to Jesus and the disruptive message he brought to the religious leaders of his time. John challenges the status quo, urging people to produce fruit in keeping with repentance and to live out their faith through actions that prioritize the marginalized and the poor.

Join us as we reflect on what it means to truly follow Jesus in today's world. Are we living out a faith that is consumeristic and self-focused, or are we embodying the selfless love that Jesus exemplified?

Scripture: John 11:20–21, 23–27; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 22–23; John 11:26–27
Despite Jesus predicting it over and over again, eyewitnesses were shocked to learn God had raised Jesus from the dead. And what God did for Jesus, he can do for you.

In this powerful exploration of Easter's meaning, we're challenged to confront the unexpected nature of Jesus' resurrection. The central story of Lazarus' raising from the dead serves as a profound setup for Christ's own resurrection, demonstrating His power over death itself. This isn't just about believing in a concept, but trusting in Jesus Himself as 'the resurrection and the life.' We're reminded that the disciples, despite witnessing miracles, didn't expect the resurrection - a humbling parallel to our own doubts and uncertainties. The message emphasizes that our faith isn't based on blind belief, but on historical events documented by eyewitnesses. This perspective invites us to approach our faith journey with both heart and mind, understanding that even in our moments of doubt, we're in good company with the original disciples. The resurrection offers us a guarantee - not just of life after death, but of God's power to forgive sin, heal hurts, and ultimately make all things new.

Read along with our following scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:5
Taking captive thoughts and replacing them with truths.

In this thought-provoking episode, Bradley Hamilton dives deep into the concept of our mental playlists—the thoughts we loop in our minds that shape our beliefs and actions. Drawing parallels between our favorite music playlists and the core beliefs we hold, Bradley explores how these mental tracks can influence our lives, often without us even realizing it.

He shares personal anecdotes about the impact of parenting on his music choices and how certain songs can become "earworms" in our heads. But what happens when the thoughts we replay are negative or untrue? Bradley challenges us to examine the origins of these thoughts and encourages us to take control of our mental playlists.

Using insights from psychology and scripture, he emphasizes the importance of filtering harmful thoughts and replacing them with truths that align with who we are meant to be. This episode is a powerful reminder that we have the ability to reshape our thinking and, ultimately, our lives.

Join us for an inspiring discussion that encourages self-reflection and growth. Whether you're a long-time listener or new to the podcast, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone looking to improve their mental well-being.

The concept of mental playlists and earworms
