They say the only constant in life is change. And with the changing of the seasons come inevitable goodbyes. Today on the podcast, we're having a short convo on how to say goodbye.
"It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God."
Philippians 1:7-11

“Within this Christian vision of marriage, here's what it means to fall in love. It is to look at another person and get a glimpse of what God is creating, and to say, "I see who God is making you, and it excites me! I want to be part of that. I want to partner with you and God in the journey you are taking to his throne. And when we get there, I will look at your magnificence and say, 'I always knew you could be like this. I got glimpses of it on earth, but now look at you!” ~Timothy Keller
When we think of marriage, sometimes we think of it with rose colored glasses, all roses and fairytales. But there's a deeper meaning played out after saying "I do." Today, we're continuing our gender role discussion, examining how they play out in marriage with special guest Andrea Hunter!

Note: We're taking a slight break on our Gender series and expanding the conversation around our topic of lament from our Tuesday-night Summer Play List series.
What if diving into our deepest lament might be one of our greatest gifts? In today's episode, we're taking a closer look at how the Bible offers us a framework for holding the brokenness of this world.

When broaching the topic of gender, we must realize we have a broken view, vulnerably shaped by cultural norms. On today's episode, we're taking a broad look at two polarized gender ideals that culture presents and how the Bible gives us a proper, balanced perspective of the ultimate gender ideal.

"Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. . . .So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26a & 1:27.
Gender is a charged topic in culture today. No cap. From gender dysphoria to pride month, how do we as Christian interact and engage in this conversation posed by surrounding culture. Today, we're continuing the conversation on gender, by setting the framework of how the Bible trains us to interact with unbelievers and believers alike on the topic of gender.

Why did God create two seemingly opposing gender? Today, we're delving into a brand new topic on gender, how it started, and where controversy may enter the chat. We take a look at how male and female gender—in all its diversity—reflects the immense beauty of God and how we can embrace the differences that glorify God's design.

Last week we discussed how Sabbath is more than just collapsing onto the couch in utter exhaustion. And it's more than outdated rules that demand what you can and can't do confined to a 24 hr cycle. Today, we're continuing our conversation on Sabbath by discussing how Sabbath embodies sheer delight which ultimately points back to our joy in Jesus.

Stillness. It's something that we need so desperately in a frantic world but feels impossibly out of reach. Yet when the Bible commands, "Be still and know that I am God," is stillness a state that can be feasibly achieved? Or are we left to vague instructions that leave us still feeling dissatisfied? In today's episode, we're expanding the conversation on stillness, and how a Christian's life can be marked with immovable peace.

Before mental health was even a hot topic, the Matthew 6 radically addressed the presence of anxiety and gave practical steps on how to not let it affect our lives. While we're looking for a road map on how to do more and worry less, the Bible gives some radical ways on how to grapple with the worry and fear that tries to take the controls. Today, we're talking about how to combat the anxiety that oppresses our lives and how Christ calls for us to live a better way.

Something about the New Year's makes us revitalize a resolve to reshape our lives. According to a recent study, while nearly half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, less than 10% feel like they successfully keep them.
Today, we're taking a practical look at why habits are important, how habits shape our lives, but most importantly, how to keep them in the new year.

There’s no place like home for the holidays. And while the holidays can bring a much-needed Christmas vacation, it can also unpack a lot of growing pains as you learn how to navigate family ties. When we experience a full house around the holidays how are we to respond when emotional chaos ensues? In today’s episode of this two-part series, we're discussing practical ways to reflect Christ amidst family dynamics during the most wonderful time of the year.

We learned how to graduate from adolescence to adulthood, but sometimes it feels like we haven’t experienced a graduation from our own sin nature. Is it possible to experience real change before eternity? On today’s episode, we’re snapping shut our last chapter in The Story series by dissecting what it looks like to practically experience sanctification and real restoration in the Christian walk.
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18

Is it me? Am I the drama? At some point in your young adult life, you will come to the crossroads and ask, "What is wrong with me?" The state of our world today indicates there is something deeply broken—from politics and homelessness to a simple conflict with the coworkers. Something deep within us screams, "This isn't how it's supposed to be." Today, we're expanding part two of our The Story series, and how Genesis 3 reveals there's a very BIG problem that calls for a radical solution.

Do you scroll through the 'gram and get sucked into other people's stories? Why can we get hooked on a new Netflix series and hang onto the cliffhangers? Do the stories we tell each other even matter? If you look around, we as human beings are naturally attracted to the construct of Story, and today, we're going back to the beginning of where it all started. If you think the Bible is dull, hard-to-understand, or just flat-out boring, this episode is for you.

As much as we desire life to be like a Disney-fairytale, dating can sometimes looks a little bit more like a reality tv show. Today’s episode, we’re looking at the do’s and don’ts of dating and how we submit this season of life to the authority of God’s Word. You’re not going to want to let this episode be left on read.
Sometimes we just want an expiration date for our single years.
We question—when is it going to happen to me? Or why hasn’t the one just come along? Will I even find “the one”? Today’s episode dives into the spicy topic of singleness, dissecting the fantasies and frustrations around this particular season of life. This may be the single best episode yet…
Shout out to the people who are part of our pep squad and make life a little more exciting with their extroverted tendencies. Sometimes, however, extroverts can be labeled as shallow or held at arm's length because of their outgoing personalities. In this episode, we debunk some of the myths surrounding the extroverted personality type and give some insight on how you can deepen your friendships within the community.
In a “Jesus + Me Culture," we’re going to take a radical look at what Scripture says about community. On today’s episode, we delve into the nitty gritty of what community building looks like and how you can get best plugged in when you’re the new kid on the block.
Welcome to the Crossroads Podcast, a podcast where we expand the conversations from Crossroads, a weekly gathering of college and young adults based out of Olive Baptist Church. Through the lens of Scripture, we discuss some hot takes on the challenges young adults may face concerning faith, apologetics, theology, and #adulting. For more information, visit olivebaptist.org/young-adults or follow us on social media @crossroadsatolive.
On today's episode, meet the hosts—Anna Grace Carrick, Tim Hunter, and Grace Shaffer—as they give their take on life within the Crossroads community.
This is from our summer series at Crossroads on Wednesday evening from 6:00-7:30 in the Crossroads building. In this class, Tim Hunter delivers a beautiful message on developing deep spiritual habits. We would love for you to join us Wednesday evenings. To learn more check out our Instagram page @crossroadsatolive.
This sermon is from May 10, 2022, as Ethan Jago finishes preaching from the book of Titus. In this sermon, Ethan shows us in the text how Christians can live in a culture steeped in perversion, hostility, and negativity. In the book of Titus Paul challenges young Titus who is charged with finding, identifying, and growing Godly leaders, getting churches healthy, and combatting false teachers and those who may pervert Christians' way of thinking. Christians need to be less concerned with what the culture tells us success is, and revisit a Godly perspective and worldview based on Scripture. To learn more about Crossroads young adult ministry visit www.olivebaptist.org/youngadults or the Instagram page @crossroadsatolive.
This sermon from Ethan Jago was recorded on May 10, 2022 at Olive Baptist Church in the young adult ministry Crossroads. In this sermon Ethan exegetes Titus chapter three and focuses on three main points for understanding as Paul writes to encourage Titus in his ministry on the Island of Crete. If you are interested in joining our Crossroads ministry goto www.olivebaptist.org/youngadults or follow our Instagram page @crossroadsatolive
We see throughout Scripture the command to meditate on God's Word day and night. In Joshua 1:8 it says, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."
Here is Titus chapter one being read by Andrea Hunter. Listen to this on your drive, in your home, as you are going about your life and reflect on what God has done in and through you.
In this episode, your host Ethan Jago is joined by Tim and Andrea Hunter as we discuss and get a history of the Roe vs. Wade debate that is currently sitting at the level of the Supreme Court and the implications this means. Additionally, they discuss this past Tuesday's sermon at Crossroads gathering in Paul's letter to Titus in 2:11-15 as Christians are encouraged to live for the future hope of Christ Jesus. Finally, the discussion turns to ways to be encouraged or encourage others coming out of a legalistic background, how to interact with family members who are still stuck, and the biblical method of approaching this subject with humility and grace. Feel free to DM us your questions to be addressed in the next podcast on our Instagram page @crossroadsatolive

In this episode Ethan and Alfred discuss several different topics concerning identity, pride, humility, sanctification, how to combat identity crisis, and coming to terms with God's sovereignty through daily spiritual rhythms. Alfred is passionate about pointing others to Christ, and encouraging them to get into Scripture and to move past your hurts by confessing them to God. Finally, as Alfred gives a beautiful illustration, "if life is a movie, I am not the star, the co-star, I am not even the one able to get the coffee. This life is about God!"

I don’t know what form he has, Is he a gas, spirit, combination, or something entirely different? I believe he created the first amoeba (Adam) who then split (Eve); who eventually crawled out of the primordial ooze (Eden) and continued populating the earth. He created the big bang and all that followed. Why can’t religion and science co-exist? Is this sacrilegious?"

In this thought, the idea is that I can, through the manifestation laws of attraction assert and manifest success in the realm of money, manifest a job, a relationship, good health, or anything I can put my mind to. The verse they use to support their argument is Mark 11:24."

"Dear Crossroads Podcast I was wondering if you could help me understand what role does the 10 Commandments play in the life of the Christian today? Are we as Christians supposed to be obeying them and adhering to them or is it more of a suggestion that we should understand them?"

"Hey crossroads podcast I have a question on something that I have been wrestling with concerning church membership. I go to school in Pensacola and attend a few different churches and love attending Tuesday nights at Crossroads. However, I have heard Ethan mention about the importance of joining a local church. Why is this important and what about for someone like me that is here but not permanently, should I join a church?"

On this episode, Ethan Jago and Travis Walser discuss today's question from the audience...
"Hey guys. Love the podcast keep it up. Can you give a brief history of the New Testament Apostles speaking in tongues and compare it to today? Many movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation and Pentecostalism continue to do so in today’s age. How does it compare to biblical times and what biblical support is there in contradicting these false movements’ use of this prior activity? It tends to be a touchy subject in many circles."

"If a guy and girl believe the same gospel, but the girl believes other things about the Holy Spirit and how the Spirit is revealed and that gifts are a sign that you have the Holy Spirit in you and the couple believed differently about those things, is that being unequally yoked?"

On today's episode, Ethan Jago and Travis Walser discuss today's question from the audience...
"I recently stumbled across a documentary called American Gospel. In this documentary I came across a few names I have not heard before. One of the names I googled, and I kept seeing “reformation theology” pop up. Can you please explain what is reformation theology and is that different from normal theology?"

"Hey Ethan, I recently went home for Christmas and I had a conversation with my family (they are catholic) and I wanted to share the gospel with them. But when I did they told me they believe that and Catholicism and Evangelicals are the same. My question is, what is the difference between Catholics and us?"
