Rooted Beyond the Vapor

Being Human Podcast | Created to Create

Artificial intelligence is changing how we create, but it cannot replace what God uniquely designed humanity to be. In this episode, David Stockton, Anthony Kennada, and Ryan Romeo explore creativity, craftsmanship, and the purpose of human work, considering how Christians can embrace new technology without losing the distinctly human calling to create in the image of God.

Fully Accepted

Zacchaeus' story reminds us that beneath every pursuit of success, security, or approval is a deeper longing to be fully known and fully accepted. While the world teaches us to earn our worth through achievement, Jesus meets us with grace before we've proven anything. His acceptance is not a reward for repentance but the very thing that makes transformation possible. As we receive the love of Christ, we are freed from hiding behind our accomplishments or our failures and invited into a new way of being human, one marked by humble dependence on God and the same generous grace extended to others.

Being Human Podcast | Finding Your Identity in the Kingdom of God

What shapes our identity in a world full of competing voices? This conversation explores what it means to find our identity in the Kingdom of God, live out our calling with faithfulness, and build our lives on a biblical understanding of what it means to be human.

Rooted Beyond the Vapor

We all spend our lives moving toward something, but the destination we choose is not always the one we were created for. Ecclesiastes invites us to consider our telos, our ultimate purpose and end. While so much of life "under the sun" feels temporary and elusive, like vapor that cannot be held onto, Scripture reminds us that true meaning is not found in chasing achievement, pleasure, or success. It is found in God Himself. Humanity flourishes when we live in awe of the Lord and faithfully cultivate the life He has called us to through joyful obedience. Though everything else passes away, a life rooted in God is never wasted because it is aligned with the purpose for which we were created.
