Examined - The Why Behind The What - June 2026 // Scott Landry

Even if the Gospels are reliable…what difference does it make? In Week 3, we confront the implications; if the Gospels accurately record that Jesus performed miracles, claimed to be the Son of God, and rose from the dead, then Christianity isn’t just one path among many. Jesus made exclusive claims. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” That may sound narrow, but truth is not determined by what feels fair - truth is determined by what is real. If the resurrection happened in history, then Jesus is exactly who he claimed to be. And if that’s true, then he is not simply a teacher to admire, but a saviour to trust. This final week challenges each of us to move beyond intellectual consideration and respond personally. Because if the Gospels are true, the invitation is clear: Everyone is welcome. The price has been paid. And the decision matters.

Examined - Who Wrote What - June 2026 // Scott Landry

Who would die for a lie? This is an important question to consider when evaluating the validity of the Bible. If the Gospels were fabricated, why would their authors suffer and die for what they wrote? In Week 2, we look at the men behind the manuscripts. Were they liars? Were they confused? Or were they simply reporting what they had seen and heard? The earliest Christians did not die for a philosophy - they died claiming they had seen a risen savior. Their message was not “follow this teaching,” but “we saw Him alive.” We’ll examine why theories of legend or conspiracy fail to account for the evidence, and why the rapid spread of Christianity in the first century demands an explanation. When you understand what these witnesses endured, the most probable explanation becomes increasingly clear. Come wrestle with the question: Would anyone die for what they knew was a lie?

Examined - Opening Statements - June 2026 // Scott Landry

Is the Bible just another ancient religious book? Or are the Gospels something entirely different? In Part 1, we will examine the historical reliability of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These aren’t anonymous legends written centuries later. Two were written by eyewitnesses. One recorded Peter’s firsthand testimony. One carefully investigated and interviewed those who were there. We’ll explore manuscript evidence, historical standards used for all ancient documents, and why the Gospels far surpass other accepted ancient histories in documentation and distribution. What we will discover is: if the Gospels are reliable accounts of real events, then what they record about Jesus cannot be casually dismissed. Join us as we begin examining the evidence and discover why Christian faith is not grounded in blind belief, but in history.

The Comparison Trap - What Makes You, You - May 2026 // Scott Landry

So much of life is spent trying to measure up, blend in, or keep pace with everyone else. But comparison doesn’t just distort how we see others - it obscures who we truly are. When we’re trapped in comparison, we lose sight of the very things that define and shape us. In the final part of The Comparison Trap, we’ll step back and consider the aspects of our lives that have formed us; our gifts, experiences, values, and calling. Rather than minimizing or hiding what makes us different, this session challenges us to recognize it, embrace it, and take responsibility for it.

The Comparison Trap - The Weight Of Gold - May 2026 // Scott Landry

We spend an incredible amount of time and emotional energy asking questions that were never meant to be answered: are they better off than we are? Are they smarter, funnier, richer? Am I falling behind? Comparison keeps our minds running and our hearts restless, constantly measuring, ranking, and evaluating. In Part 3 of The Comparison Trap, we’ll discover how to step out of this exhausting cycle once and for all.
