    The Bible For Busy People - Gideon - Called and Sent - Judges 6-7

    Most of us know what it feels like to look at a challenge and think, "There's no way I can do this." That's exactly where Gideon found himself. Feeling small, overlooked, and unqualified, he couldn't imagine being the person God would use to rescue Israel. Yet God saw something in Gideon that he couldn't see in himself. Through impossible odds and repeated reassurances, God showed that victory was never about Gideon's strength. It was about God's faithfulness. If you've been feeling outmatched or inadequate lately, Gideon's story is a beautiful reminder that God specializes in working through ordinary people.

    The Bible For Busy People - Moses - Called and Sent - Exodus 3

    Have you ever felt God nudging you toward something that seemed way bigger than your abilities? Maybe your first response was exactly what Moses said: "Who am I?" The truth is, many of God's greatest callings don't come with all the details or guarantees we'd like. Today, we see how Moses encounters a God who sees, hears, and cares deeply for His people. Even as Moses offers excuse after excuse, God remains steady with the same promise: "I will be with you." It's a powerful reminder that God's call isn't based on our qualifications, but on His presence. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4dGLWao We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

    The Bible For Busy People - Missing the Mark & Repentance - Missing the Mark - Luke 13

    By the end of a week like this, you might be feeling a little weighed down by all the words we've explored: evil, sin, iniquity, transgression. But this story was never meant to end with our failures. The good news is that God doesn't simply point out where we've missed the mark. He lovingly calls us back. As we wrap up our study, we'll look at repentance not as punishment or shame, but as one of God's greatest gifts for restoration, freedom, and a new direction.

    Snacks and Good Company with Sherri Lynn - Episode 4 - You Are Not Their Savior

    How do you love someone struggling with addiction without losing yourself in the process? In this episode of Snacks & Good Company, Sherri sits down with Pastor Phil to explore the difficult balance between unconditional love, healthy boundaries, and enabling. Drawing from his own family's experience with addiction and recovery, Phil shares why sometimes the most loving thing we can do is step aside and trust God. Together, they discuss the shame families carry, the power of confession, and the surprising lessons found in the story of the Prodigal Son. Quotes: "How do you hold someone accountable, but yet still love on them, not be legalistic, show grace." "No one gave him anything." They're movable fences. They're not permanent walls." "You're only as sick as your secrets."

    The Bible For Busy People - Transgression & Allegiance - Missing the Mark - Isaiah 53, 43

    Most of us don't think of ourselves as rebellious people. We pay our bills, try to be kind, and generally stay out of trouble. Yet Scripture uses a strong word for sin that goes deeper than making mistakes: transgression. Today we'll explore what it means to wander from God's ways, why allegiance matters more than we might realize, and the incredible lengths Jesus went to in order to bring us back to God.

    Gospel Tech with Nathan Sutherland - Drool Tech vs Tool Tech

    Nathan offers a helpful way to think about technology: there's “tool tech,” which helps us create and accomplish things, and “drool tech,” which is designed to keep us consuming and engaged. The difference isn't that one is good and one is bad, but understanding how they're designed can help parents and grandparents make wiser choices about the screens in their lives and their kids' lives. It's a relatable reminder that not all screen time is created equal. While a tool like Microsoft Word simply waits for you to use it, platforms like YouTube are built to keep you watching, which is why it's so easy to go down a rabbit hole before you even realize it. Being aware of that difference can help us approach technology with more intention and healthier habits. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3Vqwp8l

    The Bonfire with Jesse Bradley - One Encounter with Jesus

    Just one encounter with Jesus can change everything. In Mark 2:1-12, the faith and determination of four friends brought a paralyzed man to Jesus, where he received far more than healing, including forgiveness and a transformed life. The same is true for us today. Through God's Word and prayer, Jesus still meets us where we are, bringing hope, direction, and life-changing breakthrough when we seek Him with all our hearts.

    The Bible For Busy People - Iniquity & Virtue - Missing the Mark - Psalms, Isaiah 53

    Have you ever found yourself wondering how you ended up somewhere you never intended to be? Maybe not physically, but emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. One small compromise, one wrong turn, one decision after another, and suddenly things feel a little crooked. Today we're looking at the biblical idea of iniquity, a word that paints a surprisingly vivid picture of what happens when what was meant to be straight becomes bent, and how God lovingly works to make things right again.

    Some Bible stories leave us with more questions than answers, and Cain and Abel is definitely one of them. At first glance, it can feel confusing, unfair, and even unsettling.

    The Bible For Busy People - Evil & Good - Missing the Mark - Genesis 2, 3

    "Evil" is one of those words we don't use lightly. It can bring to mind everything from heartbreaking news headlines to the smaller choices that quietly pull us away from what we know is right. Yet before we can understand evil, it helps to understand what God meant by good. Today we're beginning a conversation that takes us back to the Garden of Eden, where we see God's heart for human flourishing and the first glimpse of what happens when that design is challenged.
