Episodes
- 1The Path to JoyOvercome with her new position as the mother of our Lord, Mary sings her Magnificat to God. She chooses worship over worry, humility over pride, and remembrance over forgetfulness, modeling to us the path of ever-increasing joy.
- 2Heralding the KingThe pronouncement of God’s glorious plan and the culmination of all His prophecies came first to the shepherds. His kingdom would be different and this great, scandalous exchange of death for life was first offered to the outcast.
- 3Habakkuk’s SongSurveying the injustice before him, the prophet Habakkuk questions God. How can this evil persist with God on His throne? The Lord assures Habakkuk that a plan is in place and He is at work among His people.
- 4Human FlourishingJesus offers the abundant life. He desires for humans to flourish, and His people are His plan to that end. When trials come, Jesus' plan holds fast. He uses all things for our good and calls us to open-handed surrender.
- 5LifeWe believe and declare that every human is made in the image of God and has dignity, value, and worth. We advocate for human life and see others not as commodities or enemies, but as God’s image bearers.
- 6HarmonyRacism is rooted in sin and an affront to the "Imago Dei" established by God in humanity. The only antidote to our checkered past and our broken present is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 7NationsGod loves the people of the world and has a strategy to reach them. God made peace between us and Himself and has entrusted us to bring the gospel to the world as ministers of His reconciliation.
- 8Priests in the House of GodWe do not live as consumers of divine goods, but as priests on duty offering God a sacrifice of praise. We will proclaim His excellencies for generations to come.
- 9Get in the GameGod desires kids and students to know and worship Him. The harvest is plentiful! And if we are willing, we can perpetuate this gospel legacy, showing the next generation who their true Savior is.
- 10The Doorway and the PathwayAll of humankind’s greatest achievements pale in comparison to the work of our greater God. In mercy, He has called us to join Him in this work. Faith started this journey, and it will sustain us along the way.
- 11Find and FormFrom the miry mines of humanity, God has seen fit to excavate, clean, and begin the slow work of making us look more like His treasured Son. He chisels away what isn’t needed and forms us into a people of His own possession.
- 12RevivalThousands of students are getting baptized into the faith on American college campuses. Godly curiosity is blooming among Gen Zers. Around the world communities are turning to Jesus. God is on the move, but could we miss it?
- 13Watch & PrayJesus has not yet returned, but this is good news for those who wait. There is still time to follow, repent, learn, practice, and keep our lights burning in hopeful expectation of His arrival.
- 14YahwehBefore the beginning, there was God. He had no starting place. He was, He is, and He is to come. We had no words for Him, so He defined Himself. His attributes call us to come and see that He is not like us, and this is good.
- 15TranscendentGod is uncreated. He is above all things. The expanse of His riches is immeasurable. His wisdom and knowledge are incomprehensible. His justice is perfect and His ways are untraceable. And still, He invites us to know Him.
- 16EternalIn the grand scope of eternity, we are hardly here at all. But our God is without beginning, without end, and without the succession of time.
- 17UnchangingWe are always becoming and in motion. We are constantly unconstant, and to slow down is to die. But God never changes. His stability does not stagnate. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
- 18AlmightyGod knows everything, can do anything, and is everywhere in His fullness. He is who He is. The Great I Am—-the Lord.
- 19He Is AliveIf Jesus of Nazareth actually rose from the dead, it should change everything about our lives. It would reframe our past, bring peace to our present, and set up a future hope that pulls us forward. The witnesses, His Word, and the Church declare, “He has risen!”
- 20What Makes a Man?In our society, masculinity seems to either be vilified or a cheap machismo is offered up in its place. So, we look to the Scriptures for what it means to be a man.
- 21Good Men Behaving BadlyProverbs contrasts the wise man against three other types—the fool, the simpleton, and the evil one. But the good news of the gospel is that no one is stuck in these lesser categories. And how might they make this move? By fearing the Lord.
- 22Honor & BlessingA man gains wisdom with the fear of the Lord, but how does the wise man live his life? It is one marked by reverence, submission, and delight.
- 23Come & DieAll wealth, power, relationships, and earthly accolades lead us into a false rule of our lives. Jesus calls us to give Him back the throne, that we may truly live as stewards in His kingdom.
- 24The Man of GodFinally, men, be watchful, stand firm in your faith, don’t revert back to your boyhood ways, but act like men. Be strong and let everything you do be done out of love.
