Root Issues: Recent Episodes

Crossroads Aspen

Welcome to the Root Issues podcast where we're gathering around the table to bridge the generational gap and discuss the root issues of our culture.

Am I in darkness? It's a question most of us ask quietly, usually when we're unsure who we are or where our life is actually headed. In this episode of the Root Issues Podcast, we open the first verses of John 1 and talk about what Scripture says about identity, life, and light — and why the darkness never gets the final word.

John begins his gospel not with a birth story but with a claim about who Jesus is from the very beginning: the Word, the source of life, and the light of men. That has direct consequences for how you understand yourself. If life and light come from Him, then your identity isn't something you build, perform for, or lose in a hard season — it's something you receive.

We work through the questions a lot of people carry but rarely say out loud: How do I know if I'm walking in darkness? Why does my sense of identity keep shifting? And what does it actually mean that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it?

Suffering doesn't stay neatly in one corner of life — it shows up at the dinner table, in our marriages, in the way we raise our kids, and in the quiet questions we carry to God. In this episode of the Root Issues Podcast, we sit down to talk honestly about why we suffer and what it means to walk through hardship as a family rooted in Christian faith.

Welcome back to the Root Issues Podcast and our series through the Gospel of John! In this episode, we explore one of the central themes of John's Gospel: identity — who Jesus is, and who we are because of Him.

The Gospel of John was written so that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. But John doesn't stop there — he also shows us what that belief means for us: that to all who receive Him, He gives the right to become children of God. We look at how John reveals the identity of Jesus and how that truth transforms our own identity as believers.

In a world where everyone is searching for identity, the Gospel of John gives us the answer: we discover who we truly are only when we discover who Jesus truly is.

The writer of Hebrews speaks to a weary church, calling them to draw near to God with confidence, endure suffering, remember what God has already done, and not throw away their faith.

In this episode of Root Issues, I sit down with Pastor Steve and Ellen to dive deep into Hebrews 2, a chapter that calls us back to the foundation of our faith. We start by examining the urgent warning not to drift away from the great salvation we've been given—a salvation so profound that it was first declared by the Lord himself and confirmed to us by those who heard him.

Throughout our conversation, we explore several critical themes:

  • The majesty of Jesus as our High Priest who understands our struggles because he became fully human.
  • Why we must fix our eyes on Jesus and hold fast to what we've received.
  • The nature of our great salvation and why neglecting it carries serious consequences.
  • How Jesus dealt with sin through his atoning sacrifice, destroying the power of death and freeing us from lifelong bondage to fear.
  • What it means that Jesus had to be made like us in every way to become a merciful and faithful High Priest.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues we discuss about the problem of the churches that we tend to drift away from the person of Lord Jesus and from what He is doing for us, interceding for us at the right hand of the Father.

Join us to Root Issues Podcast, as we welcome special guest Alyssa for a deep dive into one of Scripture's most powerful resurrection encounters. We explore Luke 24 and the road to Emmaus story, where two heartbroken disciples meet the risen Christ without recognizing Him—until He opens the Scriptures and breaks bread with them. Their hearts burned within them as Jesus revealed how all of Scripture pointed to His death and resurrection. We discuss how the book of Hebrews expands on this theme of Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament revelation, and what it means for our hearts to burn with passion for God's Word today. Whether you're experiencing spiritual disappointment or seeking deeper understanding of how Christ appears throughout Scripture, this conversation will reignite your love for biblical truth.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into one of Paul's most profound declarations about Christian contentment found in Philippians 4:11-29. What does it truly mean to be content in every circumstance—whether in plenty or in want? We explore the Greek text to uncover Paul's "secret" of contentment and discover that his sufficiency wasn't rooted in circumstances, personal strength, or material provision, but in Christ himself.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we have a special guest with us, Jonathan Woodrow, where we examine Paul's call in Philippians 4:8-9 to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.

We explore how these divine standards provide a practical framework for evaluating the entertainment we consume. Paul's instruction isn't just about avoiding the impure; it's about actively filling our minds with excellence and training our thoughts toward what honors God..

View Details

Join us on Root Issues as we work through Philippians 4:1-7, one of Scripture's most beloved passages on anxiety and prayer. Paul moves from addressing church conflict to offering a radical solution for worry—bringing everything to God with thanksgiving. We discuss what it means to stand firm as "beloved" people, the command to rejoice always, and how God's peace acts as a garrison protecting our hearts. This is practical theology for anxious times.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we explore the often-overlooked biblical theology of table fellowship and its vital role in the life of the church. The shared meal has always been more than just food—it's a theological act of community, hospitality, and discipleship.

We examine key passages that demonstrate how eating together functioned as a primary expression of Christian unity and love, looking at both the practical and spiritual dimensions of gathering around the table.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we discuss the uncomfortable reality of self-deception using Mark 14:26 as our starting point. The disciples had just shared Passover with Jesus and walked confidently toward the Mount of Olives, singing hymns and making promises they couldn't keep. If you had asked them whether they'd stand with Jesus no matter what, every one would have said yes—yet that very night exposed a different reality.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we explore one of Paul's most passionate declarations about the Christian life. Philippians 3:10-21 reveals Paul's singular ambition: to know Christ intimately, experience the power of His resurrection, and share in His sufferings. Writing from prison, Paul describes the Christian journey not as arrival but as relentless pursuit—pressing toward the goal despite not having "already obtained" perfection.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into Philippians 3:1-9, where the Apostle Paul presents one of Scripture's most radical contrasts between human achievement and divine righteousness. Paul begins by warning the Philippian church to "rejoice in the Lord" and beware of those who place confidence in the flesh—the Judaizers who insisted on circumcision and law-keeping for salvation

View Details

In a culture obsessed with recognition and self-promotion, Paul introduces us to two men who turned the world's values upside down: Timothy and Epaphroditus. One nearly died for the gospel. The other genuinely cared when everyone else was looking out for themselves. In this episode, we explore Philippians 2:19-30 and discover what Christ-like service really looks like—and why these "ordinary" believers might be the most extraordinary people in Scripture.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into one of Paul's most misunderstood passages in Philippians 2:12-13, where he calls believers to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." This powerful text has confused and even frightened Christians for centuries, leading some to question whether salvation can be lost or if our efforts somehow earn God's favor.

Join us as we examine how this passage connects to Paul's broader encouragement to the Philippian church and what it means for believers today to cultivate their salvation with reverent dependency on God's power working within them.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we explore one of the most profound Christological passages in Scripture: Philippians 2:5-13. We dive deep into the Christ hymn, examining what it means that Jesus "emptied Himself" and took on the form of a servant. Through careful exegesis of the original Greek text, we unpack the theological significance of Christ's humility and obedience unto death, and how His subsequent exaltation shapes our understanding of salvation and Christian living.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, togheter with Pastor Steve and Ellen, we explore Philippians 2:1-4, where Paul presents one of Scripture's most powerful teachings on Christian unity. Paul appeals to the vertical realities believers experience with God—encouragement in Christ, comfort from His love, fellowship of the Spirit, and divine affection—and provides us with the true secret of the unity of the Church.

View Details

In this episode of Root Issues, we have a special guest, Pastor Chris, and we dive deep into John chapter 15, one of the most powerful passages from Jesus' farewell discourse to His disciples. Recorded just before His crucifixion, this chapter gives us Jesus' famous metaphor of the vine and branches—a vivid illustration of what it means to remain connected to Christ and bear lasting spiritual fruit.​

We'll explore the profound relationship between Jesus (the true vine), the Father (the vinedresser), and believers (the branches), unpacking what it truly means to "abide" in Christ. From there, we examine Jesus' radical commandment to love one another and His declaration that "greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13).

View Details

In this episode, we journey through Philippians 1:19–30, exploring Paul’s powerful reminder that our true citizenship is in heaven. We discuss how this perspective shaped the early believers, guided Paul’s ministry in the face of hardship, and challenges us today to live with kingdom identity in a world that often pulls our loyalties elsewhere. With honest conversation and practical insight, Root Issues invites listeners to reflect on what it means to stand firm, live worthy of the gospel, and let heavenly citizenship transform how we think, speak, and act.

View Details

Join us on this episode as we unearth the deep spiritual truths that anchor our faith. Philippians 1:12-18 reveals a profound root issue: how we find purpose in our circumstances. Paul's imprisonment could have derailed his calling, but instead became his most effective platform for gospel ministry. This episode digs into why we often resist the platforms God chooses for us and how embracing our 'chains'—whether physical, emotional, or circumstantial—can become our greatest ministry opportunity.

Lewis’s iconic 1941 sermon, “The Weight of Glory,” where he challenges us to move beyond mere unselfishness and embrace true, active love.
