The Way In A Manger, part 3 – The Way of Love

Christmas invites us to imagine the impossible—and this week’s message leans into that wonder. In The Way in a Manger, we explore what Jesus meant by calling Himself “the Way,” why the earliest believers were known for more than their beliefs, and what a Roman official’s investigation reveals about the first Christians. As we move toward Christmas, you’ll be challenged with a powerful question about what’s really shaping your life from the inside out.

The Way In A Manger, part 2 – A New Way Of Life

When you can’t see your way out, you don’t need more options, you need a way forward. In this week’s message from The Way in a Manger, we look at Jesus’ claim to be “the way, the truth, and the life,” and how following Him starts to reshape the way we handle relationships, forgiveness, and the tension we carry into the holiday season.

The Way In A Manger, part 1 – Dead Ends

We’ve all had that sinking feeling of realizing we’ve been lost for a while—on the road and in life. In this first message of our Christmas series, Way in the Manger, Rich explores what ancient wisdom says about the paths we choose, why our sense of direction isn’t always reliable, and how the Christmas story speaks into those moments when we know we need to change course. Scripture: Proverbs 14:12; John 1:1–14; John 14:1–6; Luke 2:1–7

Can I Trust the Bible? part 4 – How To Read the Bible

If you’ve ever opened the Bible, felt overwhelmed, and quietly thought, “I have no idea what I’m doing,” this episode is for you. In part four of our “Can I Trust the Bible?” series, we get super practical about how to read Scripture without treating it like a Magic 8 Ball or a good-luck charm.  We walk through a simple framework—Observation, Interpretation, Application—talk about why context and genre matter, and highlight accessible tools like modern translations, study Bibles, reading plans, and helpful apps and videos. Listen in and discover how everyday people (not just scholars) can understand the Bible and let God’s Word shine light on both where you are and where you’re headed.

Can I Trust the Bible, part 3 – The Scarlet Thread

We spend our days sorting real messages from scams—but what do we do with a book many people now label “too fantastical to be true”? In week three of Can I Trust the Bible? we take a closer look at how evidence works: legal burdens of proof, forensic investigation, historical method, and archaeological discoveries that intersect with the world of Scripture. Rather than asking you to simply “have more faith,” this episode invites you to honestly weigh people, places, circumstances, and motives from the biblical story—and to move from secondhand opinions about the Bible to your own firsthand exploration.
