Radiant Church: Recent Episodes
Radiant Church
What labels have you been carrying that God never gave you?
Maybe your past, your mistakes, your struggles, or even the words someone spoke over you have shaped the way you see yourself. But Scripture tells us that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come.
In Week 2 of Fresh Start, we look at how labels can become lies, how those lies can create strongholds, and how false identity can begin to shape our behavior. But real freedom doesn't come from simply trying harder or managing our behavior. It comes when we uncover the lie and replace it with the truth of who we are in Christ.
Your struggle may be part of your story, but it is not your identity. Your past does not get the final word. In Christ, you have been made new. đ
At Radiant, we wear no label but one: new creation.

Everyone needs a fresh start. But what if the people who need one most... are all of us?
We often think recovery, healing, and freedom are for "those people." But the Bible tells a different story. In this message, we discover that every person has struggles, strongholds, and areas where they need God's transforming grace.
In Week 1 of our Fresh Start series, we explore why recovery isn't just for people battling addiction. It's the normal Christian life. Through the story of the Prodigal Son and the truth of Scripture, you'll learn how Jesus invites us to stop pretending, break free from the lies that keep us stuck, and experience real freedom through truth, faith, and surrender.
If you've ever wondered:
⢠Why do I keep making the same mistakes?
⢠Why can't I break this habit?
⢠Is lasting change really possible?
⢠Can God give me a fresh start?
This message is for you.
No matter your past, your struggles, or where you are today, God's grace is greater. Healing begins when we stop hiding and start bringing our lives into the light.
đ In this message:
⢠Why everyone needs a fresh start
⢠What the Bible says about strongholds
⢠Why recovery is discipleship
⢠The four movements toward lasting freedom
⢠How Jesus transforms our identity, not just our behavior

Have you ever thought of the Holy Spirit as simply your Helper, Comforter, or Guide?
While all of those things are true, the Bible paints a much bigger picture.
In this message, we journey from Genesis to Revelation to discover the Holy Spirit's incredible mission. From bringing order out of chaos at creation, to gathering scattered people at Pentecost, to breathing life into dry bones, the Holy Spirit has always been carrying out God's plan of redemption. His work isn't just about helping us make it through another week. He's transforming lives, restoring creation, and inviting every believer to join in God's mission.
If you've ever wondered, Who is the Holy Spirit? or What does the Holy Spirit actually do? this message will challenge the way you think about one of the most misunderstood Persons of the Trinity.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, you'll be reminded that what feels chaotic, broken, or beyond hope is never beyond the transforming power of God.

What is the Church? Is church attendance really necessary if you're already a Christian?
Many people say, "I love Jesus, but I don't need the church." But is that what the Bible teaches? In this message, we follow the story of God's presence from the Tabernacle in Exodus, to the Temple, to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, and finally to the birth of the Church in the book of Acts. Discover why the Church isn't just a building or a weekly eventâit's God's people on mission together.
Whether you've been attending church for years, have walked away, or you're wondering why church even matters anymore, this message will help you understand God's design for His people and why being part of a local church is essential for every follower of Jesus.

Have you ever wondered what the Bible really means by sin? Is sin just breaking God's rules, or is it something much deeper?
In this message from our Catechism: Back to the Basics series, we explore the biblical definition of sin and discover why Scripture repeatedly compares it to adultery. From Jeremiah's "broken cisterns" to Hosea's picture of God's relentless love, this sermon reveals that sin isn't primarily about bad behaviorâit's about turning our hearts away from God and looking elsewhere for what only He can provide.
You'll discover:
⢠What the Bible actually teaches about sin
⢠Why God compares idolatry and sin to adultery
⢠The difference between brokenness and sin
⢠How repentance restores our relationship with God
⢠Why God's kindness leads us back to Him
Whether you're new to Christianity or have followed Jesus for years, this message will challenge the way you think about sin, grace, and the invitation God extends to every one of us.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus' very first sermon was? Before the miracles, before the crowds, before the debates with the religious leaders, Jesus began His ministry with one simple but life-changing message:
"Repent and believe the good news." (Mark 1:14-15)
In this message, we explore the very first recorded sermon of Jesus and discover why His words are just as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago. What does repentance actually mean? Is it about guilt and shameâor is it an invitation to experience God's grace? And what does it really mean to believe the Gospel?
Through Scripture, practical illustrations, and the story of the prodigal son, we'll see that Jesus didn't come merely to make people feel acceptedâHe came to make them new. His message has always been an invitation to turn toward God, trust Him completely, and receive the hope found only in the Gospel.
Whether you're new to Christianity, returning to your faith, or simply curious about the teachings of Jesus, this sermon will help you better understand the heart of His message and why it still transforms lives today.

What is the Gospel? It's a question many people think they can answerâbut what if we've been missing some of the most important ingredients?
In this message from our Catechism: Back to the Basics series, we discover that the gospel is far more than simply "going to heaven someday." Through Scripture, we'll explore God's incredible rescue mission and what it truly means to be forgiven, redeemed, and reconciled through Jesus Christ.
Using simple illustrationsâfrom missing sugar in cookies to forgotten ingredients in homemade breadâthis message shows how an incomplete understanding of the gospel can leave us with an incomplete faith. Discover the life-changing truth found in Colossians 1 and Ephesians 2, and learn why the good news of Jesus is about more than forgivenessâit's about being restored to a relationship with God and living a transformed life today.
Whether you're new to Christianity, returning to church, or have followed Jesus for years, this message will help you understand the heart of the gospel with fresh clarity.

What is the Bible, really?
Is it a rulebook? A collection of stories? A source of wisdom? In this message from our Catechism: Back to the Basics series, we explore one of the most important questions every Christian should answer: What is the Bible?
The Bible isn't merely information to be studied. It's an explanation of the human condition, an introduction to Jesus Christ, and an invitation into a relationship with God. Through a powerful illustration of a road sign pointing to something greater, we'll discover why the goal of Scripture isn't simply knowledgeâit's encounter.
Whether you're new to reading the Bible or you've been a Christian for years, this message will challenge you to move beyond secondhand faith and experience God's Word for yourself.
đ In this message:
⢠Why the Bible explains what's broken in the worldâand in us
⢠How all of Scripture points to Jesus
⢠Why the Bible is an invitation, not just information
⢠Practical principles for reading and understanding Scripture
⢠How to develop a deeper, firsthand relationship with God through His Word
The sign is pointing somewhere. Are you following it?

Who is God, really?
Many people believe in God, but often the version of God they reject isn't the God revealed in Scripture. Is He distant? Angry? Permissive? A cosmic therapist? Or is He something far greater than our assumptions and expectations?
In this message from our Catechism series, we explore one of life's biggest questions: Who is God? Discover why our view of God shapes everythingâfrom how we worship and pray to how we handle suffering, fear, and uncertainty. Through Scripture, we'll see that God cannot be reduced to human categories and that the God who is beyond us is also the God who came near to us through Jesus Christ.
Whether you're a lifelong believer, asking hard questions about faith, or simply curious about Christianity, this message will challenge you to move beyond cultural assumptions and encounter the God of the Bible.

đĽ What if Christianity is bigger than you've been told?
Many people think Christianity is simply about saying a prayer, getting forgiven, and going to heaven someday. But what if that's only part of the story?
In this message, we explore the grand narrative of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. From the Garden of Eden to Babel, from Abraham to Jesus, and from Pentecost to the Day of the Lord, you'll discover how the Bible tells one unified story of a King, a Kingdom, and an invitation for humanity to come home.
This sermon tackles some of the Bible's most challenging and fascinating themes, including the unseen realm, spiritual rebellion, the Kingdom of God, salvation, repentance, and Christ's ultimate victory over evil.
The story you're living in is the story you're living out. Understanding God's story changes everything.
đ Key Topics:
⢠What Christianity really is
⢠The Kingdom of God
⢠The Fall and humanity's separation from God
⢠The serpent and the promise of redemption
⢠Babel and the nations

⢠Repentance and salvation
⢠The Day of the Lord
⢠The return of Christ

What if the storm in your life isnât punishment⌠but God trying to get your attention? đ
In Week 3 of our But God series, we dive into the story of Jonah and discover that running from God doesnât always look obvious. Sometimes it looks like resistance, avoidance, convenience, or simply ignoring what God is calling us to do.
Through Jonahâs journey, we explore the tension between Godâs grace and truth, the cost of willful disobedience, and the incredible reality that God doesnât abandon us in the storm. He meets us there.
This message unpacks:
⢠Why Jonah really ran from God
⢠The hidden danger of âconvenientâ decisions
⢠How God uses storms to get our attention
⢠The difference between knowing God and surrendering to Him
⢠Why the ending of Jonahâs story is actually an invitation for us
No matter how far youâve run, God still knows exactly where to find you. đ

What do you do when life doesnât go according to plan?
In Week 2 of our âBut Godâ series, we dive into the story of Joseph and discover how God works through betrayal, disappointment, delay, and uncertainty. From the pit, to the prison, to the palace, Josephâs story reminds us that God is still present even when life feels confusing or unfair.

What does it mean to truly please God? đ¤
In Week 1 of our new series, Big Buts of the Bible, we look at one of the most powerful turning points in Scripture:
âBut Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.â â Genesis 6:8
While the world around Noah was falling apart, Noah chose a different path. This message dives into what it means to live a life that puts a smile on Jesusâ face, not out of obligation, but as a response to the unconditional love of God.
In this sermon, we explore:
⨠What it means to find favor with God
⨠Why faith is the foundation of a pleasing life
⨠How small acts of obedience matter to God
⨠The difference between pleasing people and pleasing God
⨠Why Godâs love does not disappear when we fail
Noahâs story reminds us that one faithful life can stand out in a broken world.

What if worship was never just about music?
In Week 5 of our Made to Worship series, we finish the journey through the tabernacle by exploring three final movements of worship: Enter. Encounter. Pray. Drawing from Hebrews 10, Isaiah 6, John 15, and the imagery of the tabernacle, Pastor Jason unpacks a powerful truth many of us miss:
Prayer was never meant to be rushed.
It was meant to flow from presence.
Too often we approach God emotionally chaotic, spiritually distracted, and looking only for answers. But the tabernacle teaches us a different pathway:
Prepare. Confess. Sacrifice. Cleanse. Enter. Encounter. Pray.
This message is a reminder that worship is more than songs, playlists, or emotional moments. It is communion with the living God.
In this episode/message:
⢠Why prayer appears near the END of the tabernacle journey
⢠What Hebrews says about entering Godâs presence through Jesus
⢠The danger of becoming too familiar with holy things
⢠Why many believers stay spiritually âin the courtyardâ
⢠The difference between wanting Godâs help and wanting God Himself
⢠How worship leads us into deeper communion and awareness of Godâs presence
Scripture References:
⢠Hebrews 10
⢠Isaiah 6
⢠John 15

Step into a deeper understanding of worship as we continue our Made to Worship series with this powerful message on Cleanse. đđ§
So many of us have received forgiveness, yet still feel stuck. Weâve been to the altar, but we havenât stepped into the freedom that comes from being fully cleansed. Why does God sometimes feel distant, even when weâve done everything ârightâ?
In this message, we walk through the pattern of the tabernacle and uncover the purpose of the bronze laver. The altar covers our sin, but the laver cleanses our hearts. One deals with forgiveness. The other leads to freedom.
If youâre carrying guilt, shame, or unforgiveness, this message will challenge and encourage you to let go of what God never asked you to hold onto. You were not meant to stay stuck in the courtyard. You were made to enter His presence with freedom. â¨
Are you forgiven but still not free? This message is for you.

Made to Worship | Sacrifice
What does your worship actually cost you?
In this message from our Made to Worship series, we unpack a powerful truth: everyone worships somethingâand whatever you worship will cost you. The question isnât if youâll sacrifice⌠itâs what youâre sacrificing for.
From the Old Testament system of repeated sacrifices to the once-and-for-all sacrifice of Jesus, we see that cost alone doesnât equal effectivenessâbut Jesus changes everything. His sacrifice was sufficient, complete, and final. So now, our worship isnât about earningâitâs a response.
Through the stories of King David and Mary anointing Jesus, weâre challenged to examine our own lives:
- Is your worship convenient or costly?
- Does it disrupt your comfort?
- Are you more focused on the cost⌠or on what Christ is worth?
Because at the end of the day:
Worship without cost is worship without worth.

What if the breakthrough youâve been praying for is on the other side of confession? đ
In this powerful message from our Made to Worship series, we dive into the truth that confession isnât about shameâitâs about freedom. Too often, we try to hide, manage, or cover up our struggles⌠but real healing begins when whatâs in the dark is brought into the light.
Through the story of David (2 Samuel 11â12 & Psalm 51), we see how unconfessed sin isolates and distortsâbut also how Godâs grace meets us the moment we choose honesty. đ Confession isnât losingâitâs surrender. And in Godâs Kingdom, surrender is where true worship begins.
If youâve ever felt stuck, weighed down by guilt, or afraid to be fully known, this message is for you. You were never meant to fight your battles alone.
⨠Itâs time to stop hiding and start healing.
⨠Itâs time to trust Godâs grace over your shame.
⨠Itâs time to step into the freedom of confession.

What if the reason worship feels dry⌠isnât Godâbut our preparation? đ
In this message, âPrepare: Make Room for God,â we uncover a powerful truth: worship is not just a song you singâitâs a life you live. Too often, we rush into Godâs presence distracted, overwhelmed, and unprepared⌠and then wonder why we donât experience Him deeply.
But Scripture shows us a better way.
Through the pattern of the tabernacle and the truth of Romans 12:1 and Hebrews 10:22, we discover that you donât drift into worshipâyou intentionally enter it. God invites us in, but we choose how we come.
⨠What would change if you prepared your heart all weekânot just on Sunday?
⨠What if you made room for God before the moment of worship?
This message will challenge you to slow down, live intentionally, and step into a deeper encounter with God every single day.
đ Donât just show upâcome prepared.

144,000 and Firstfruits: Revelation 14 Explained | E66
Could microchip implants be the mark of the beast? We kick off this episode by exploring the rise of under-the-skin technology that allows people to pay with just a wave of their handâand the growing debate surrounding it. Is it just convenient tech, or a step toward biblical prophecy? Then we turn to Revelation 14 and take a deep dive into the mystery of the 144,000 sealed servants of God. Who are they? How did they go from Mount Zion to the very throne room of God? Along the way, we uncover: What it means to be redeemed from the earth The deep biblical significance of firstfruits The powerful truth behind substitutionary atonement From Exodus to Revelation, we trace how Jesus is our perfect sacrificeâthe Lamb who took our place and paid the price we never could and how the OT consistently points to him.

What does it really mean to love God? In this message, we look at a clear and powerful answer from 1 John 5: âThis is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome.â
Itâs simpleâbut not shallow. Before there was Occamâs Razor or the âKeep It Simpleâ principle, God had already defined love in the most direct way: obedience rooted in trust. Not legalism. Not guilt. Just surrender to Jesus.
Obedience doesnât come from pressureâit comes from knowing and loving the One who gave everything for us. And when Jesus is your foundation, obedience becomes a joy, not a burden.
If youâve been hurt by religion or weighed down by rules, this message offers hope. Whether you're seeking faith, rebuilding it, or guiding the next generationâthis is for you.

What really matters when this life ends? It's not what you packed in your garage or how full your calendar was â it's what you took with you that counts.
In this powerful message from 1 John 4:7-21, weâre reminded that God is love, and love perfected in us brings confidenceânot fearâon the day of judgment.
â What does Christian maturity really look like?
â Can we have certainty about our eternal future?
â How do we live a life now that reflects the love of God and the reality of judgment later?
Weâll unpack the Apostle Johnâs heartfelt message, explore our identity as children and friends of God, and confront the often-ignored truth: Weâre all on spiritual probation. But we can live with confidence, not condemnation, because of what Jesus has already accomplished.
âď¸ Takeaway: You can take some things with you â namely, a confident heart, rooted in Godâs love and faithfulness.

Have you ever heard someone say, "God told me..." and immediately felt a little uneasy? Same here. đ In this message, weâre diving into 1 John 4 where the apostle John urges us to test the spirits â because not every âword from the Lordâ is actually from the Lord.
Weâll unpack:
-
Why âGod told meâ can sometimes shut down healthy conversations.
-
How to biblically discern if something is truly from God.
-
Why crowds, charisma, or confidence arenât reliable signs of truth.
-
How to spot teachings that align with Godâs Word and character.
And yes⌠what to do when someone randomly walks up and tells you youâve got a âspirit of perversionâ. đł
Letâs talk Holy Spirit, false teachers, and how to navigate faith with humility, love, and truth.
If youâve ever wrestled with hearing God's voice (or someone else claiming they have), this oneâs for you.

This week weâre diving deep into 1 John 3 to explore the kind of love that goes far beyond good vibes and kind words. This isnât about loving tacos or hobbiesâthis is agape love. The kind of sacrificial, inconvenient, action-driven love modeled by Jesus.
Godâs love has been the story from the very beginningâand now, we are called to carry it forward. But what does that actually look like in real life? How do we live this out in our neighborhoods, our churches, our families?
đ Join us as we unpack what it means to love not just with words or speech, but with actions and in truth.

Ever been caught in a downpour? Not just a little spring rainâbut one of those storms where the street turns into a river and you canât see a thing? That kind of overwhelming flood is actually a pretty great picture of how God lavishes His love on us.
In 1 John 3:1-10, weâre reminded that being called Children of God isnât just a labelâitâs a powerful truth. Godâs love is not cautious or reserved. Itâs a torrent. A deluge.
This message explores what it means to live in that identityâwith a focus on purity. Not just moral purity, but something deeper: wholeness. A life that isnât divided between Jesus and everything else. A sincere, single-hearted devotion that reflects who we really are in Him.
If your faith feels like itâs been on autopilot or youâve been struggling with divided loyalties, youâre not aloneâand youâre not stuck. Let this be a reminder (or a wake-up call) that Jesus is after your whole heart, not your performance.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus in a world that pulls us in the opposite direction?
In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Jason walks us through 1 John 2:15-17, where weâre reminded that true discipleship requires being set apart. The culture around us may celebrate self, comfort, and compromiseâbut Jesus calls us to something greater: Kingdom living.
We learn that sin separates us from God, even when it seems small or socially acceptable. It dims the light and slowly distances us from the source of life. The apostle John challenges us to recognize that we cannot love both the world and the Fatherâour hearts and actions ultimately reveal where our true loyalty lies. But there is hope: through Jesus, we can overcome the world. His resurrection power makes it possible to live differently, to live fully surrendered, and to live as true citizens of Godâs Kingdom.
đ Jesus didnât come to blend into the cultureâHe came to overcome it. And by His resurrection, we too can live a new life, fully aligned with the will of the Father.

Whatâs the best advice youâd give to the people you love most?
This Palm Sunday, weâre looking at the words of the apostle Johnâone of Jesusâ closest friendsâas he gives what might be the most important advice of all: âI write this to you so that you will not sin.â
In this message, weâll explore what it means to truly be a disciple of Jesus:
-
Why Jesus' triumphal entry is more than a momentâitâs a mission
-
What it means for Jesus to be our Savior and Advocate
-
How disciples respond to Jesus with obedience and love
-
Three honest questions every believer should ask
Itâs a timely reminder that discipleship isnât just about beliefâitâs about response. Itâs about letting Jesus deal with our sin, walking in the light, and loving others well.
Let this message lead you to a moment of personal reflection and real response. Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, thereâs always something more to lay downâand more love to live out.

Hereâs what you can expect in this message:
-
Reconciliationâhow itâs all about restoring our relationship with God.
-
What it really means to have fellowship with God and Jesus through His death and resurrection.
-
The simple yet profound Biblical truth: Grace + Faith = Salvation.
-
The importance of declaring Jesus as King through confession and baptism.

Welcome to week 1 of our sermon series on 1st John. This week, we dive deep into the powerful opening of 1 John 1:1-4, where the Apostle John introduces the core of our Christian faithâthe Incarnation: God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.
In a world full of differing opinions, religious divides, and cultural confusion, Johnâs letter calls us to return to the essential truth that defines Christianity: Jesus is God, in the flesh. We explore the significance of Jesus' divinity, His role in creation, and how His life, death, and resurrection offer us the gift of eternal life.
As we navigate the divisions within the church and the world, we answer three vital questions:
- What is doctrinally essential for Christian faith and identity?
- Does Christian faith require Christian conduct to be valid?
- Is love the most important value?
Join us as we unpack the Incarnation and its implications for how we live out our faith. Whether you're exploring Christianity or seeking to deepen your understanding, this series will guide you in strengthening your relationship with Jesus and navigating the complexities of the modern world with His truth.

Too many men have chosen apathy. They refuse to fight, and they are doing nothing. In the meantime, their marriages and family are starving, their relationships are falling apart, and this evil world is more than willing to fill your silence with their destructive voices to lead your families astray while you sit back and do nothing.
Youâre not a manâŚ
Because you declare yourself to be.
Because of your biology.
Youâre a man because you boldly stand up against the enemy and declare loudly, âAs for me and my house we will serve the Lord!â
Join us for the final sermon in our series, Fighting Shadows, as we learn to fight apathy with boldness.
Fighting Shadows: Overcoming Futility and Finding Purpose
In this powerful and personal reflection, I share the struggle of feeling like what we do is meaningless, even after hard work and success. In the midst of the rat race, we can lose sight of our true calling and fall into the trap of futilityâfeeling empty and wondering if anything we do really matters.
But there's hope! In this video, I discuss how Iâve battled feelings of worthlessness and came to realize that success isn't the ultimate goal. Instead, itâs about finding significance through purpose. Itâs about chasing a deeper calling that brings lasting impact, not just short-term achievement. I dive into the difference between success and significance and challenge you to ask yourself: Are you living for success or for something greater?
Join me as I explore:
-
How to break free from feelings of futility
-
The importance of understanding your true calling
-
Why significance, not success, leads to fulfillment
-
The importance of finishing well and living with purpose
This video is for anyone who feels stuck, questioning their purpose, or seeking to find deeper meaning in their work and life. Itâs never too late to live for significance, not success.
When does Godly ambition turn into selfish ambition? How do you know when you are being driven by selfish desires or by His will?
Pastor Bob tackles what it means to fight the shadow of ambition as men of God!
The experience of shame is universal.⯠We have all felt it. We all struggle with it in some way. Shame is one of the most painful emotions we can experience. Shame takes you backward when God is trying to move you forward.
Join us as we learn what it takes to combat shame in week 4 of our series, Fighting Shadows!
Overtime, men get busy, distracted, and even focused on our responsibilities or jobs. And because of this, we get disconnected from the life-giving connections we need as men â deep friendships and accountability that are necessary. This leads to the shadow of loneliness.
And how do we fight loneliness? With community.
This week, we tackle the first lie that keeps men from being fully alive - the shadow of despair. Pastor J tells us that in order to understand hope, the way to defeat despair, we must understand the true story of the Gospel.
Too many men today feel frustrated, adrift, paralyzed, and confused. Challenges abound. We are confused on how to define manhood in our culture today and many men are accused of toxic masculinity or propagating the patriarchy. How can Christian men find a healthy and purpose-filled vision of what it means to be a man?
Join us as we uncover the seven lies that keep men from becoming fully alive: despair, shame, lust, ambition, futility, and apathy. These are struggles many women wrestle with as well so there is something for everyone. Invite your neighbors and friends. This is a series we all need to hear.
In the conclusion of our series, Love Misguided, Pastor Bob asks the question: what is essential in helping our loved ones fight their life-controlling problem?
The answer: tell the truth.
Pastor Bob helps us define enabling, and how we can avoid it when trying to help our loved ones fight a life-controlling problem!
When does a stronghold become a life-controlling problem? They often start innocently, but left unaddressed, they get to a point where they become a master. So how do we help a loved one receive the comfort that God is giving us without getting drawn into issues ourselves?
The primary message of Jesus was repent. We are called to surrender our old life and change directions in life. True surrender should result in life change which creates fruit in keeping with Christ's spirit. What do you need to repent in the New Year in order to produce fruit?
At Christmas time, anxiety is on the rise and expectations high. There are gifts to buy, parties to attend, traffic is crazy, food to prepare, decorations to put up, and so many other things to mark off the to-do list. How do we manage these things while remembering the Reason for the season?
Christmas time with family and friends can be hard. Many people, from different walks of life, unique perspectives, opinions, various levels of insanity, all fall upon each other in one space. Itâs messy, and itâs kind of like church. What could possibly go wrong?
We've all got that embarrassing and loud uncle nobody likes to talk about, the bitter relative, political activist, and family with no filter. Christmas is often about family and friends coming together in one place. Life can be difficult when families are together and unpredictable things can happen. How can we avoid conflict, have patience, and all get along together during this holiday season? How do we deal with difficult people during the holiday season?
May we learn to be gentle this Christmas season and treat all people with dignity. Instead of conflict, may the people around us find comfort in Christ as we set the example of what that looks like. Join us as we discuss what it means to do life with difficult people this Christmas season.
Lacking the holiday spirit, low energy or motivation, and disinterest can all be signs of the winter blues. If youâre not careful, things can escalate further into a depression that can be difficult to shake. But we bring up expert Dr. Don Gilbert to tell us how we can avoid being "bah humbug" this Christmas season.
Is my tree big enough? Are my outside lights better? Do the decorations impress? Pastor J tackles the trap of trying to keep up with the Joneses during the holiday season.
Do you ever feel like others are having more fun, living better lives, or experiencing more new things than you? How do we deal with FOMO?
1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "And the greatest of these is love." What does it mean to love like Christ?
Faith, hope, and loveâwe hear a lot about each on their own, but how are they related? Join us as we dive further into FAITH!
Where do we turn when life is hard, scary, or uncertain? For the Israelites, they turned to an idol they could see instead of trusting the God who delivered them. How do we turn from our visible idols and choose to seek God's presence instead?
In order to see clearly, we will need to find space for rest and focus. How do we make room for this and live disciplined in order to reconnect with God through the noise of life?

Alcohol isnât the alcoholics biggest problem. Itâs just how theyâve chosen to medicate or numb their pain. Down deep are unresolved hurts and pains that must be dealt with if there is going to be genuine VICTORY in our lives. Until you identify the root cause the hurt and pain in your life, youâll continue returning back to these bad behaviors and destructive lifestyles.
Far too many adults keep getting trapped in the same cycles over and over again instead of living in freedom because they have never dealt with the unresolved issues from the past â particularly childhood. These unresolved issues have stunted our development and growth. Weâre still spiritual children because we havenât dealt with the lies that imprison our minds.
Thatâs ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. To confront this, you have to bring these strongholds out of the darkness and into the light.

We're instructed by Christ to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and as he loved us⌠but do we really love our neighbor?
The world likes to try and give us multiple versions of what they think the Gospel is, but what does the Bible say about that?
The Gospel confronts four great lies in our culture. Do we understand who we are outside of Christ? Do we truly understand grace?
The world has it's core values: money, sex, power. The Bible has its core values: faith, hope, love. The apostle Paul discusses these throughout his letters, but do we understand the difference?
Does God still perform miracles? Do you believe and trust that he can work miracles in your life?
Join us in a chat with our District Superintendent, Tim Purcell, as we chat about outreach!
We are all blessed with spiritual gifts - but what do those look like? How do we hone in on them and use them for the Kingdom of God?
The mission field is everywhere, including your own street â wherever there is ignorance or rejection of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It's a new year, and we've got big plans! Let's dive a little deeper into that together.
Is spiritual warfare real? What is it? Can I fight it? Join us with special guests Brian & Cara Burke as we chat more about this!
Can life truly be eternal? What will that be like? Many who have had a near-death experience speak of the âCity of God.â Will it have art, music, or film? How will we experience life in such a place?
Not all near-death experiences are blissful. Some are downright hellish. But we need to discuss how a loving God would allow so much suffering.
Loving relationships are truly meant to last forever. Those who have experienced heaven speak of great reunions and a love that matters more than we can imagine. Knowing this can propel us to be better parents, spouses, and friends.
If a highlight reel of your life was playing on the big screen, would you enjoy the view?
All over the world, people who have experienced clinical death describe an encounter with a God of light and love.
Many who have been resuscitated from clinical death share how they experienced beauty, not unlike what we can see, smell, and touch here on earth, but exponentially more intense, breaking into new dimensions of time and space.
Jesus' earthly ministry is coming to a close, and he's leaving final instructions to a group of people that will have to go forward in their faith journey without him. What does he want them to know?
Join us as we chat about this upcoming season, and what we believe God has for Radiant!
Blessed are the merciful. As believers, we stand in the middle between the grace we've received and the grace we need.
There is a difference between pursuing holiness and happiness. We need a desperate hungering to be conformed to God's will.
Blessed are those who mourn. Who in our country is mourning right now and how can we mourn with those that mourn?
You cannot come to God without poverty of spirit.
You cannot grow with poverty of spirit.
We rely on God for everythingÂ
That is poverty of spirit.
What does it mean to live a life of worship in a world full of things fighting for our time and attention? Are we putting God first, or do we have things that are competing with God in our lives?
What does biblical activism look like and are we all called to care equally about the issues faced in our world today?
Whether it is selfies, social media, leaving comments and ratings, or flexing in the mirror. For whatever reason, we feel we must be heard and noticed. What happens when this need to be seen and heard drives us? How is it we can be more noticed, more liked, more heard than ever, and yet we seem lonelier than ever?
We live in a consumer driven world, where the constant need is- MORE. But when is enough actually enough?
Do you have space in your life, or is it just full of noise? Let's examine the topic of Sabbath and find rhythm in life.
Old does not exist alongside the new. For us to take part in the new we must put the old to death. What does our new life look like?
