The Journey of Joy - Psalm 43

Psalm 43 is raw. The writer is overwhelmed, asking God where he went. But somewhere in the middle of the struggle, he talks himself back. Not by pretending everything is fine, but by reorienting, choosing to remember who God is.In this episode, Josh Young is going to walk us through what that journey looks like and how joy isn't something you feel your way into; it's something you find your way back to.

New Eyes - Acts 3:1-10

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is slow down and actually see the person in front of you. In this episode, we're looking at Acts 3 and asking a simple but uncomfortable question: who have you learned not to see?

The Way of the Wind - Acts 2:1-21

The story that unfolds through Luke’s second letter to Theophilus is not primarily about   something so concrete as the church and its tangible acts - rather it’s about an Actor, an unseen protagonist, whose force is felt like a blowing wind. Acts is about the way of this Wind - how the Holy Spirit of God, filled and led Jesus’ first followers in sparking a global movement that blew against the contemporary winds of 1st century culture and shaped the world to come. Join us in this episode as Joey walks us through Acts 2:1-21 to discover the moment the Wind blew through and the way the Holy Spirit continues to form our everyday lives.

The Gap - Acts 1:1-11

Most of us believe the Holy Spirit did something remarkable two thousand years ago. We're just not sure he's doing anything like that now. At least not in our lives. At least not lately. In this episode. we're opening the book of Acts, and we're going to find out whether the current is still moving and what it looks like to get in it.

Our Utmost Devotion for His Highest - Malachi 1:6-14
