#54 The Noise You're Hiding In

#55 Where The Light Is

What are you hiding? In Episode 55 of Subtext, Pastor Tim opens up the spiritual discipline of confession — not as a mechanism for guilt, but as the practice that unlocks the healing most of us are desperate for and too afraid to access. We’re going to Proverbs 28, 1 John 1, and James 5 — and we’re going to talk honestly about why unconfessed sin doesn’t stay the same size, what it actually costs us to keep managing instead of confessing, and why the right person hearing the worst about you and staying is one of the closest pictures of the gospel that exists. This is week two of the Spiritual Disciplines series. Subtext is the teaching podcast of BridgePoint Young Adults in St. Petersburg, FL.

#54 The Noise You're Hiding In

When’s the last time you were actually quiet? Not asleep. Not scrolling. Not podcasting through the commute. Actually, intentionally, uncomfortably still. In Episode 54 of Subtext, Pastor Tim opens a five-week series on spiritual disciplines with the one that might be the most countercultural practice in St. Pete right now: silence and solitude. We’re going to Ecclesiastes, Psalm 46, and Psalm 62 and we’re going to find out why the Hebrew word for “be still” means something closer to let go than most of us realized. And why waiting on God in silence isn’t passive at all — it’s the most active posture of the soul. This is episode one of five in the Disciplines series.

#53 Busy Doing Nothing

What if you’ve been really busy doing nothing? In Episode 53, Pastor Tim opens Romans 15, where Paul’s letter to Rome stops being about doctrine and starts being about direction. What is your life actually for? Paul had ambition, enormous ambition, but he aimed it somewhere most of us would never point it. Away from platforms and audiences and toward the people nobody was reaching yet. In a city obsessed with image, vibe, and experience, this episode asks the uncomfortable question: Are you building a brand, or are you building a life? And it points toward something better than both.

#52 Win The Argument, Lose The Person

You can be right. And still lose your brother. In Episode 52, Pastor Tim opens Romans 14 Paul’s urgent, uncomfortable word to a church that was letting secondary disagreements eat through the fabric of real community. We’re talking about theological contempt, the weaponization of correctness, what it actually means to hold conviction and carry people at the same time, and why the kingdom of God is not a matter of winning. If you’ve ever been pushed out for asking questions, or if you’ve been the one doing the pushing, this episode is for you.

#51 Awake In The Empire

We’re back. And we didn’t come back quiet. In Episode 51, Pastor Tim opens Romans 13, one of the most politically charged, historically misread, and spiritually uncomfortable chapters in the New Testament. If you’ve ever felt caught between blind loyalty to authority and total resistance to it, this episode is for you. We’re talking about outrage culture, what Paul was actually saying to a church living under Rome, and why the gospel’s answer to civic life isn’t a hot take — it’s love.
