The Problem with Pride Month

The Problem with Pride Month

We address one of the most contested cultural conversations facing Christians today: Pride Month. In a world that often separates love from truth, we talk about God’s design for identity, sexuality, marriage, and family. This episode is a call to reject hatred, resist compromise, and respond with humility, conviction, grace, and truth. Christians must love people deeply while refusing to celebrate what God calls sin. QUESTIONS: 1. How has culture shaped the way you think about love, truth, identity, and sexuality? 2. Where are you tempted to compromise God’s Word in order to avoid tension or conflict? 3. What does it look like to speak truth with humility, love people with compassion, and still stand firmly on God’s design?

Will the Real Men Please Stand Up? with Guest Pace Hartfield

Brandon Thomas sits down with Pastor Pace Hartfield for a powerful conversation about big leaps of faith and biblical manhood. Pace shares how leaving comfort to plant One Place Church in Idaho was built on small acts of obedience. Together, they challenge men to reject harsh dominance and passive comfort, lead with surrendered strength, “win the driveway,” and courageously build the marriage, family, and legacy God has entrusted to them. QUESTIONS: 1.     What small step of obedience might God be asking you to take now to prepare you for a bigger leap of faith later? 2.     Where are you most tempted to drift toward harsh control or passive comfort instead of surrendered, Spirit-led strength? 3.     What would it look like for you to “win the driveway” and lead your home with greater tenderness, responsibility, and vision?

How to Affair-Proof Your Marriage

We address every marriage’s greatest fear: adultery. Whether physical, emotional, or a fantasy in your mind, unfaithfulness tears at God’s design and breaks the covenant between husband and wife.   We talk about the warning signs that often come before an affair, how to guard your heart, and what it takes to rebuild after trust has been broken. QUESTIONS: 1. Where are you most vulnerable to seeking fulfillment outside of God’s design? 2. What boundaries would help you interact wisely with the opposite sex? 3. What does it look like to take responsibility for your part in the health of your marriage without excusing someone else’s sin?

Is it God's Will or Just My Feelings?

We talk about the desire to know God’s will, especially when we’re facing big in life. But discerning His will requires more than looking for a sign or asking God to bless what we already want. It requires refusing to be shaped by the patterns of this world and allowing God to renew your mind. As we obey God in the small things, we become more prepared to recognize and follow His good, pleasing, and perfect will. QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it important to start by looking back at God’s faithfulness? 2. What small act of obedience might God be asking you to take today? 3.  If you feel like you can’t hear God’s voice, what may need to change in the way you listen?

Porn Steals More than We Realize

Susan and Ashley Willis have a candid conversation about pornography and the undeniable damage it causes in marriages, families, and personal lives. They expose common cultural lies about intimacy, the spiritual and relational costs of porn, and the hope of healing through confession and accountability. Sex is a gift created by God, and only His design leads to lasting satisfaction and peace. QUESTIONS: 1. How do counterfeit messages about sex pull us away from God’s design? 2. Beneath the temporary pleasure or comfort, what does porn actually do to a person’s mind, body, and relationship?  3. Where does the journey toward healing and freedom actually begin?
