Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Pastors Doug, Jamey, and Lauren as they unpack one of life's biggest questions: Am I actually living the life I'm meant for?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on this week's Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives deeper into Sunday's message from Ephesians 2:10. Together, they discuss how our purpose flows from our identity in Christ, why we don't have to earn God's approval, and how the life God has prepared for us is often found in the ordinary opportunities already in front of us.

In this episode:

  • Weekend highlights
  • Bible Reading Challenge discussion
  • Why purpose begins with identity, not achievement
  • Living from grace instead of striving for approval
  • Finding purpose in everyday moments
  • Serving from God's love, not for God's love
  • Taking the next faithful step Jesus is calling you to today

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue our journey together. We'd love to see you and your guests, or you can watch online on YouTube at 1:00 PM.

Go Be Love!

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Christina Southall and Philip McFarland as they continue our Campfire Stories series by tackling a topic that can make almost everyone a little uncomfortable: What does God actually say about money?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on the Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation shifts from dollars and budgets to something much deeper. Together, they explore why Jesus talked so often about money, how generosity shapes our hearts, and why giving is less about fundraising and more about becoming more like Christ.

In this episode:

  • Weekend highlights
  • Bible Reading Challenge discussion
  • Why money conversations can feel uncomfortable
  • The difference between loving money and using it well
  • How generosity forms our faith
  • Personal stories of God's faithfulness through giving
  • Why Jesus' generosity changes the way we view everything we have

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue Campfire Stories. And don't forget to stick around after the second service on August 9 for Get the Scoop, where we'll celebrate what God has done through your generosity and look ahead to what's next for Believers.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Kelly, and Joey as they continue our Campfire Stories series with a question many of us have wondered: Is there more going on in my life than I can see?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on this week's Bible Reading Challenge (Psalms 17–34 and Acts 19–21), the conversation explores Sunday's message about the unseen spiritual realities around us. Together, they discuss how to avoid unhealthy extremes, recognize the ordinary ways spiritual opposition works, and stay attentive to the Holy Spirit without living in fear.

In this episode:

  • Weekend highlights
  • Bible Reading Challenge discussion
  • Recognizing the unseen without becoming fearful
  • What Elisha's story teaches us about God's perspective
  • Why people are never the enemy
  • Common ways spiritual opposition shows up in everyday life

Made for Mondays

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey and Greg as they continue our Campfire Stories series with one of the biggest questions of faith: Does it really matter what you believe?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on this week's Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives into Sunday's message about truth, sincerity, and Jesus' claim to be the only way to the Father. Together, they wrestle with how to hold deep conviction and genuine compassion at the same time, especially when the people we love believe differently than we do.

In this episode:

  • Weekend highlights
  • Bible Reading Challenge discussion
  • Why sincerity and truth aren't always the same thing
  • How relationships shape the way we think about belief
  • Why the question of truth has always mattered
  • What Acts 17 teaches us about engaging people with both grace and conviction
  • How to represent Jesus with humility, courage, and love

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue our Campfire Stories series. Whether you're full of questions, exploring faith, or inviting a friend, we'd love to see you there. If you can't join us in person, catch the service on YouTube at 1:00 PM.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Doug, Jamey, and Adrienne as they kick off our new summer series, Campfire Stories. Before diving into Sunday's message, they catch up on the weekend, discuss highlights from the Bible Reading Challenge (Job & Acts), and explore what it really means to share our faith.

Doug reminds us that sharing Jesus isn't about winning arguments—it's about having genuine conversations. Together, the team discusses why faith conversations can feel intimidating, how Romans 10 reshapes our view of evangelism, and why "beautiful feet" simply means being willing to go where God has already placed us. They also share practical ways to bring Jesus naturally into everyday conversations without making them feel forced.

In this episode:

  • Weekend catch-up
  • Bible Reading Challenge (Job & Acts)
  • Why faith conversations often feel awkward
  • The context behind Romans 10 and "everyone who calls on the Lord"
  • What it means to have "beautiful feet"
  • How to make sharing your faith relational instead of confrontational
  • One simple way to talk about Jesus this week

Join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM for our special Family Service as we continue Campfire Stories. Bring your family, invite a friend, and we'll see you there!

BIBLE READING CHALLENGEWhat stood out to you from this week's reading?

Nehemiah, Esther & Acts

SUNDAY DISHThis week we wrapped up Losing Myself with Moses' final view of the Promised Land in Deuteronomy 34. Jamey challenged us to stop winning at the wrong things and invest our lives in what lasts: people, a passion for Jesus, and a legacy that anchors souls long after we're gone.

Q1: Lasting Influence

What's a phrase, lesson, or habit someone taught you years ago that still shapes your life today?

Q2: Winning at the Wrong Things

Jesus warns that it's possible to gain the world and lose your soul.

When have you caught yourself keeping score by standards Jesus never asked you to measure?

Follow-up: How do you distinguish between a good goal and an ultimate goal?

Q3: Trusting God's Timeline

Moses saw the promise fulfilled but didn't enter it himself.

What does his story teach us about trusting God when His timing is slower than we'd prefer?

Follow-up: How does that challenge our expectation for instant results?

Q4: Legacy vs. Inheritance

The big idea was:

"An inheritance fills their hands; a legacy anchors their soul."

How does that change what we're trying to leave behind for others?

Follow-up: Where do you feel the tension between providing and discipling?

Q5: Living a Legacy

Whether we realize it or not, someone is watching our lives.

Who comes to mind when you think about the people God has placed in your wake?

Follow-up: How can we become a church that intentionally leaves a legacy of faith?

Q6: Passing It On

Moses invested in Joshua before his story ended.

What's one practical way we can pass along faith, wisdom, or encouragement this week?

Follow-up: Talk about some of the leaders who have grown up through Next Gen, LDP, and Believers over the years.

JOIN US SUNDAY!Our students are at camp this week—be praying for them and their leaders!

We'll be back Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we kick off our summer series, Campfire Stories. Together we'll tackle honest questions about faith, life, and culture around the campfire.

Don't forget: July 5th is our special Family Service at 10 AM (one service only).

Invite someone, share the episode, and join us in person or on YouTube at 1 PM.

Until then, don't forget—we're here for good.

Go BE LOVE!

INTRO | GUESTSHost: Heather
Guests: Jamey, Doug, RaChelle

WEEKEND CHITCHATQuick catch-up: What did y'all get into this weekend?

BIBLE READING CHALLENGEWhat stood out to you from this week's reading?

Finished 2 Chronicles, started Ezra, and wrapped up John.

SUNDAY DISHThis week in Losing Myself, Jamey took us to Numbers 20, where Moses lets frustration and ego shape a moment that was meant to reveal God's grace. The reminder was both sobering and hopeful: When I insert myself, I distort Jesus. As we lose ourselves, people can see Him more clearly.

Q1: The Long Road

The Israelites spent decades in the wilderness.

What's something in your life that took much longer than expected but taught you something valuable along the way?

Q2: Formation Over Destination

Jamey, you said we often focus on destinations while God focuses on formation.

Where have you seen God shaping you in a season that felt slower or harder than you wanted?

Follow-up: How do you notice formation instead of only measuring progress?

Q3: Representing Jesus

Moses had a unique role, but in some ways every Christian represents God to others.

How do we take that responsibility seriously without acting like we speak for God?

Follow-up: Have you ever had a moment where frustration affected how you represented Jesus to someone else?

Q4: Conviction Without Contempt

John Newton warned about the danger of self-righteousness.

Why is contempt so tempting when we believe we're right, and what does it look like to hold conviction without losing compassion?

Follow-up: How can we tell the difference between courage and ego in our tone?

Q5: Distorting Jesus

The big idea was:

"When I insert myself, I distort Jesus."

Where does that land personally—in family conflict, politics, social media, church conversations, or elsewhere?

Follow-up: What's one sign that Jesus is becoming clearer and we're becoming less visible?

Q6: Three Practices

Jamey challenged us to:

  • Pause before reacting
  • Lead with grace
  • Remember how much grace we need

Which of those feels like your next faithful step this week?

Follow-up: What would change if we started with confession before criticism?

EVENTS THIS WEEKMERGE

Quick conversation about tonight's Merge gathering.

FAITH & FREEDOM MOVIE NIGHT

A brief look at this week's documentary event exploring the story and significance of Juneteenth and the hope that fueled the pursuit of freedom.

JOIN US SUNDAY!Be sure to share this episode and invite someone to join you this weekend!

We'll be at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we wrap up our Losing Myself series. We'd love to connect with you and your guests. If you can't make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1 PM.

Until then, don't forget—we're here for good.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Doug, and Chelle as they continue unpacking Week 5 of Losing Myself. Looking at Exodus 17, they explore what happens when fear, criticism, and crowd pressure begin to shape our decisions—and how Moses learned to lead by seeking God's approval instead of the approval of people.

Along the way, the team talks about herd mentality, handling criticism, why fear can distort trust, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when the crowd is pulling in a different direction. They also discuss one of the message's biggest takeaways: "I lead by seeking the approval of One."

Plus, a conversation about the Bible Reading Challenge, a few stories from large crowds they've experienced, and practical ways to trust God instead of reacting to the loudest voices around us.

Whether you're navigating criticism, leadership, people-pleasing, or simply trying to follow Jesus more faithfully, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps for the journey.

This week's key thought: I lead by seeking the approval of One.

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Quick catch-up: What did y’all get into this weekend?

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

What stood out to you from this week's reading?

  • Wrapped up 1 Chronicles
  • Began 2 Chronicles
  • Continued through the Gospel of John

SUNDAY DISHDoug, this week you continued Losing Myself by walking through Moses' first painful encounter with Pharaoh in Exodus 5 and 6. Moses obeys God, Pharaoh makes things worse, and the people suffer, raising a question many of us have asked: What do we do when faithfulness seems to fail? The invitation was to stop naming our failures, bring our frustrations honestly to God, and keep trusting the God who has a name, hears our groans, and keeps His promises.

Q1: Harder Than Expected

Let's start light.

What's something you've tried to get better at that ended up being way harder than you expected?

Q2: The Need to Prove Ourselves

Doug, you talked about losing yourself as letting go of proving yourself and learning to trust Jesus instead.

What do you think people are most often trying to prove—and why?

Q3: When Obedience Doesn't Change the Situation

Pharaoh asks, "Who is the Lord?" and later God responds by revealing His name, His nearness, and His promises.

How does that help us understand what God is doing when obedience hasn't changed the situation yet?

Follow-up:
Where do you see people today needing God to reveal not just an answer, but Himself?

Q4: Formation Before Results

You referenced Dallas Willard's idea that we often want the right outcomes without embracing the kind of life that forms them.

Why does spiritual growth often expose our untrained habits before it produces visible change?

Follow-up:
What's one ordinary practice that helps bridge that gap without turning faith into self-improvement?

Q5: When Becoming Feels Like Failure

The big idea was:

"Losing yourself may feel like failure before it feels like becoming."

Doug, you illustrated that through Ransom's karate belt test.

How does that idea hit you personally, especially in seasons when obedience, repentance, or growth seems to make life messier instead of better?

Follow-up:
How can we help people stay in the process instead of labeling themselves as failures?

Q6: Becoming Someone New

Doug, you invited us to fill in the blank:

"Jesus is helping me become ______."

What's the wisdom in naming what Jesus is forming in us instead of only focusing on what we're doing wrong?

Follow-up:
What might one small step toward that becoming look like this week—even if the first board doesn't break?

JOIN US SUNDAY!

That's all the time we have for today!

We're excited about this coming Sunday as we continue our Losing Myself series.

Be sure to share this episode, and maybe invite someone you've been thinking about bringing with you. We'll be here at 9 and 10:45, and we'd love to connect with you and your guests. If you can't join us in person, catch us on YouTube at 1PM.

Until then, don't forget—we're here for good.

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Quick catch-up: What did y’all get into this weekend?

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

What stood out to you from this week’s reading?

WHAT THE WHAT????

Listener questions if submitted.

SUNDAY DISHJamey, this week you continued our Losing Myself series by talking about how constant noise, scrolling, and distraction can slowly disconnect us from God and even ourselves. Through Moses in Exodus 3, we saw that hidden seasons aren’t wasted — and that God often speaks when we finally slow down enough to notice. The invitation was simple, but challenging: Go Silent to Hear God.

Q1 — Loudest Place Ever

Before we get deep…what’s the loudest environment you’ve ever been in? Did you love it or immediately want to escape?

Q2 — The Anxious Generation

You talked about the tension families feel around devices, social media, and screen time, and referenced The Anxious Generation and The Tech-Wise Family.

Can y’all recap some of those ideas and share how you see technology shaping kids, students, and adults right now?

Follow-up:
How does our Next Gen ministry partner with parents in this?

Q3 — When Connectedness Becomes Too Much

Jamey, you talked about how constant information and stimulation can actually short-circuit what God wants to do in us.

Where have you personally seen anxiety, comparison, or FOMO increase when your attention became too consumed by the noise of the world?

Q4 — The Holy Work of Noticing

Moses wasn’t looking for a spiritual moment — he was just tending sheep when he noticed the burning bush and turned aside.

What does it teach us that God spoke after Moses stopped and paid attention?

Follow-up:
Where might we be moving too fast to notice God right now?

Q5 — Noise That Hides God

You said, “The noise keeps God hidden.”

How do we discern the difference between healthy engagement and the kind of noise that dulls our ability to hear God?

Follow-up:
What are some signs we’re becoming spiritually distracted?

Q6 — Go Silent to Hear God

The big idea this week was: Go Silent to Hear God.

Why does silence feel so uncomfortable for many of us?

Follow-up:
What might change in our church and homes if we treated silence as an act of trust instead of emptiness?

Q7 — Starting Small

For someone who wants to practice silence with God but feels awkward or intimidated by it, what’s one simple place to start this week?

Follow-up:
What do we do when God brings a Scripture, person, or quiet nudge to mind?

JOIN US SUNDAY!That’s all the time we have for today! Be sure to share this episode and invite someone to join you this Sunday as we continue our Losing Myself series at 9 and 10:45. If you can’t make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1PM.

Until then, don’t forget — we’re here for good. Go BE LOVE!

Host (Joe): Welcome to Made for Mondays—the podcast where we explore how to take what we heard on Sunday and live it out during the week. Who’s with me today?

Guests (Heather, Jamey, and Chelle): [Say hello!]

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Quick catch-up: what did everybody get into this weekend?

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Host: What stood out to you from this week’s reading?

WHAT THE WHAT????

Host: Keep sending in your questions about faith, life, culture, or the message—we love getting to wrestle through them together.

SUNDAY DISHHost: This Sunday, Heather kicked off our new series, Losing Myself, by talking about the tension of trying to figure out who we are in a life we didn’t exactly plan. Through Moses’ story, the invitation was simple but challenging: stop trying to build identity from the inside out and instead discover who we are by following the great I AM.

Q1 – Behind the Message

Heather, what was it like preparing this message for Mother’s Day weekend?

Q2 – Drawn Out Before He Knows It

Moses’ story begins with chaos, rescue, and uncertainty long before he understands who he is. What does that show us about how God forms identity?

Follow-up:
How might that encourage someone whose story feels messy or out of their control?

Q3 – Freedom vs Formation

You said, “Freedom to choose isn’t the same thing as the power to define yourself.”

How do we navigate that in a culture constantly telling people to invent themselves?

Q4 – Whose Before Who

The big idea was: “I’ll discover who I am when I follow the I AM.”

Why does belonging to God have to come before fully understanding ourselves?

Follow-up:
How can the church become a place where people feel safe figuring that out?

Q5 – Midian Seasons

For someone in a season that feels disappointing or off-course, what’s one small way they can follow Jesus this week instead of trying to “find themselves”?

JOIN US SUNDAY!

We’d love to see you this Sunday as we continue our Losing Myself series at 9 and 10:45—or online at 1PM on YouTube.

Until then, don’t forget—we’re here for good.
Go be love!

Guests (Tyler, Jamey, and RaChelle): [Say hello!]

Host: Also…this is a big one—our last Made for Mondays with Tyler. So we’re soaking it in today.

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Quick catch-up—what did everyone get into this weekend?
Maybe highlight anything from the Free Market.

Host Transition: Alright, now that we’ve established we’re real people…

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Host: How’s Jesus been speaking to you through the Bible Reading Challenge this week?

(2 Samuel & Luke)
Anything standing out?

Host Transition: That’s good—let’s jump into Sunday.

SUNDAY DISH

Host: This week in Turbulence, Jamey, this one felt a little too relatable.

We’re constantly checking our phones—battery, signal, staying charged—but we’re not nearly as aware of what’s going on in our souls. And when you tied that to what Jesus says about staying connected, it made it really practical.

And…you kicked things off with phobias, so let’s start there.

Q1 – Fear Factor (Icebreaker)

Do y’all have any real phobias—like legit fears?

Q2 – Why We Miss the Signs

We don’t really have a “soul gauge” the way we do for our phones.

Why do you think we’re so much less aware of our spiritual condition?

Follow-ups:

  • Are there signs we tend to ignore?
  • Why is it easier to notice physical or emotional depletion than spiritual?

Q3 – Recognizing Low Battery

You mentioned things like being reactive, anxious, or drained as signs of disconnection.

Which of those tends to show up first for you?

Host: And you said, “Low battery isn’t a failure; it’s an invitation to reconnect.”

Why is that distinction so important?

Follow-up:
How can we hold onto that as grace without making drift feel harmless?

Q4 – The Drift Problem

Most of us aren’t intentionally disconnecting—we just drift.

What does that drift actually look like in everyday life?

Follow-ups:

  • What are the biggest culprits—distraction, busyness, stress?
  • When do you tend to notice it most?

Q5 – Practicing Connection

You introduced breath prayers—simple ways to reconnect in the moment.

For someone who’s never tried that, what does that actually look like?

Follow-ups:

  • When has that been most helpful for you?
  • Why is something so simple actually powerful?

Q6 – Family + Everyday Rhythms

For families, life is already full and chaotic.

What could this look like in that environment?

Follow-ups:

  • How do you model this without it feeling forced?
  • What are simple, everyday ways this shows up?

Q7 – Removing What Disconnects

You also talked about removing things that consistently disconnect us…which sounds great until we actually try to do it.

How do we begin to identify—and be honest about—those things?

Follow-ups:

  • What’s usually hardest to let go of?
  • How do we do that without becoming extreme or legalistic?

Q8 – Habit Stacking (Real-Life Practice)

Tying this to something we already do—like checking our phones—is so practical.

What could actually change if people started using those moments to reconnect with Jesus throughout the day?

WRAP-UP

Host: Maybe the goal isn’t to never feel “low battery”—it’s to notice it so

Guests (Jamey, and RaChelle): [Say hello!]

Host: This week we’re diving into Step 8 from our Steps series—but before we get there, let’s catch up.

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Quick catch-up—what did everyone get into this weekend?
(Keep it light, human, and fun.)

Host Transition: Alright, now that we’ve established we’re real people…

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Host: How’s Jesus been speaking to you through the Bible Reading Challenge this week?

(1 Samuel & Luke)
Anything standing out?

Host Transition: Love that. Let’s lean into some of the questions coming in.

WHAT THE WHAT (Listener Questions)

Host: After Easter, we got some really thoughtful questions—so we’re starting to dig into those now and will keep it going in the weeks ahead.

Question 1 (Faith rhythms):
For someone who’s struggled to stay consistent reading the Bible or praying—especially if they don’t love reading—where would you encourage them to start?

Follow-ups:

  • Is Bible reading about knowledge, relationship, or both?
  • How do we build rhythms of prayer in both hard seasons and good ones?
  • What’s realistic—set times, spontaneous prayer, or a mix?

Question 2 (Original sin):
Why were Adam and Eve held accountable if they didn’t yet understand good and evil before eating the fruit?

Follow-up:

  • How should we understand responsibility, trust, and disobedience in that story without oversimplifying it?

Host Transition: Those are big, honest questions—and they actually connect really well to where we’re headed today.

SUNDAY DISH

Host: This week in Turbulence, Jamey, you helped us shift from chasing peace through control to receiving peace through presence.

Jesus didn’t leave His disciples empty-handed—He promised the Holy Spirit as God’s active presence with us. The invitation?
Let go of control. Stay present. Learn to listen.

Q1 – Icebreaker (Real Life Response)

When life feels turbulent, what’s your default—control, withdraw, fix, or reflect?

Q2 – Personal Connection

We all come from different church backgrounds.

What was your understanding of the Holy Spirit early on—and how has that changed over time?

Q3 – Digging Deeper (Not a Backup Plan)

Jesus promises “another Advocate”—another of the same kind.

What would that have meant to the disciples, and why does it matter that the Spirit isn’t a substitute for Jesus—but His ongoing presence?

Follow-up:
How does that reshape the way we depend on the Holy Spirit in everyday life?

Q4 – From Quote to Life

“Control is an illusion.”

How do we tell the difference between healthy responsibility and the kind of control that quietly steals our peace?

Follow-up:
What are some signs we’ve slipped from trust into control?

Q5 – Big Idea (Someone, Not Something)

“The Holy Spirit isn’t just something to understand—He’s someone to experience.”

What does a healthy, grounded, everyday experience of the Spirit actually look like?

Follow-up:
How would our church feel different if we truly expected the Spirit to lead us daily?

Q6 – Practice (Hands Open)

We were invited to pause, open our hands, and ask, “Holy Spirit, what do You want to say to me?”

For someone who tries that and feels… nothing—what would you say?

Follow-up:
What simple rhythm could help us move from reactive living to Spirit-le

Host (Heather):
Welcome to Made for Mondays—the podcast where we explore ways to bring Sunday’s message into our everyday lives. Who’s joining me today?

Guests (Tyler, Jamey, and Chelle):
Hey everyone!

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Host:
Alright—quick catch-up. What did everyone get into this weekend?

Host Transition:
Okay, now that we’ve established we’re real people with real lives…

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Host:
How’s Jesus speaking to you through the Bible Reading Challenge this week?

(Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, Luke)

WHAT THE WHAT????

Host:
After Easter, we got some great questions sent in—so we’re going to start digging into a few of those today, and we’ll keep that going in the weeks ahead.

We’re also gearing up for a summer series called Campfire Stories, where we’ll tackle real questions about faith, life, and culture—so this is a bit of a preview.

Question 1 – Relationships & Timing

We heard from someone wrestling with timing, trust, and relationships—feeling behind, feeling pressure, and wondering how much is on them versus trusting God.

Discussion prompts:

  • How do you balance intentionality in relationships with trusting God’s timing?
  • What does healthy discernment look like vs. being overly critical or judgmental?
  • How do you deal with the fear of being “behind” in life?

Question 2 – Trinity & Focus on Jesus

Another question asked why Christians focus so much on Jesus instead of speaking more broadly about God as a whole.

Discussion prompts:

  • How does Jesus reveal the fullness of God rather than compete with it?
  • Why is focusing on Jesus central to Christian faith?

Follow-up:
How should we understand gendered language for God—what’s cultural, and what’s theological?

SUNDAY DISH

Host:
Tyler, this week you continued our Turbulence series, looking at John 14–15—where the disciples wanted clarity, direction, and answers… and Jesus offered them something deeper: Himself.

Q1 – Icebreaker

Have y’all ever been completely lost—like truly had no idea where you were going?

Q2 – Personal Connection

Tyler, you shared about your journey—especially this being your last season on staff here.

Can you give us a glimpse into that earlier season when you first came here—and how that’s shaping how you’re navigating what’s ahead?

Follow-up:
Jamey and Chelle, can you relate to that tension of uncertainty and transition?

Q3 – Seeing the Father in the Son

In John 14, Jesus says, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

How would you help someone understand that without oversimplifying the mystery?

Follow-up:
Why does this matter for someone whose view of a “father” has been shaped by pain?

Q4 – Trusting Without the Whole Map

We often want full clarity before we trust.

What does it actually look like to obey with partial light?

Follow-up:
How can we tell the difference between faithful waiting and fear disguised as wisdom?

Q5 – Big Idea: Trusting the Pilot

The big idea: Peace comes from trusting the Pilot, not our perspective.

What tends to pull us back into trusting ourselves instead?

Follow-up:
What would it look like for a group, family, or friendship to practice that kind of trust this week?

Q6 – Peace That Still Moves

Trusting Jesus isn’t just about surviving turbulence—it’s about joining God in what He’s doing in it.

How does that shift the way we see difficult seasons?

Follow-up:
For someone

Host (Heather):
Welcome to Made for Mondays—the podcast where we explore ways to bring Sunday’s message into our everyday lives. Who’s joining me today?

Guests (Jamey, Joe, and RaChelle):
Hey everyone!

Host:
This week is a big one—we’re wrapping up our Steps series, all 12 steps, and it lands on Palm Sunday…which feels pretty fitting.

But before we jump in—how was everyone’s weekend? Anybody get outside and enjoy the weather?

WEEKEND CHITCHAT

(Let it breathe—keep it human and light.)

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Host:
How’s Jesus speaking to you through the Bible Reading Challenge this week?

(Joshua & Luke)

SUNDAY DISH

Host:
So today we’re holding two things together—Palm Sunday and the close of our Steps journey.

We see a crowd celebrating Jesus for who they think He is…while He’s actually moving toward the cross. And at the same time, we’re talking about what it looks like to not just experience change—but actually live it out.

Q1 – Wrapping the Journey

Jamey, as you closed out this series—what felt most important for you to leave with people?

Q2 – Step 12: Outward Movement

Step 12 shifts from internal transformation to outward impact.

Why is helping others such a critical part of the process?

Follow-up:
What happens if someone stops at personal healing but never moves outward?
Why is helping others actually part of staying healthy?

Q3 – Palm Sunday Tension

On Palm Sunday, the crowd had expectations of Jesus that didn’t match reality.

Where do you see that same tension in our lives today?

Follow-up:
Where do we want a “different version” of Jesus?
How does that impact our willingness to follow Him fully?

Q4 – “Give It Away to Keep It”

If this is our Year of Practice, Step 12 feels less like an ending and more like a beginning.

Jamey, you said, you have to give it away to keep it.

Where have you seen that play out in real life—especially when someone feels like they have nothing left to give?

Q5 – Self-Improvement vs Surrender

What are some red flags that following Jesus has quietly turned into a self-improvement plan?

Follow-up:
What would it look like for a church to measure maturity less by what it consumes—and more by who it’s serving?

Q6 – The Power of Remembering

One of the most powerful moments this week was communion.

How does remembering what Jesus has done shape how we live?

Follow-up:
Why is remembering essential to spiritual formation?
What happens when we drift from it?

Q7 – Practicing Through Holy Week

This week we step into Holy Week—24-hour prayer and Good Friday.

How do these moments help us practice instead of just move on?

Follow-up:
What would you say to someone who’s never done something like the 24-hour prayer experience?
Why does intentional space with God matter?
What have you experienced there that’s different from a typical Sunday?

Q8 – Staying the Course

After a season like this, it’s easy to drift.

Where do people tend to slip back into old patterns?

Follow-up:
What helps catch it early?
What role does community play in staying grounded?

Q9 – Personal Reflection

As you reflect on this whole Steps journey—what’s been the most challenging or meaningful part for you?

JOIN US SUNDAY!

Host:
That’s all we’ve got for today!

Jamey, give us a quick preview—what’s coming this Easter Sunday?

Host Transition:
Okay, now that we’ve established we’re real people with real lives…

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Host:
How’s Jesus speaking to you through the Bible Reading Challenge this week?

(Deuteronomy, Joshua, Mark, Luke)

SUNDAY DISH

Host:
Tyler, this week you walked us into Step 11 by reminding us that connection with God grows through practice, not pressure. From Philippians 4, you showed us that prayer, meditation, gratitude, and steadying our thoughts aren’t ways to earn closeness with God—they’re ways to live with Him.

Q1 – Personal Entry Point

When you think about your current connection with God, what word or phrase comes to mind—and why?

Follow-up:
Has that felt consistent lately, or has it been shifting?

Q2 – Joy Before the Change

Paul talks about rejoicing—even while under house arrest.

How does that challenge the way we tie joy to circumstances instead of closeness with Jesus?

Follow-up:
What might change in our prayer life if we focused on being with God before asking Him to fix things?

Q3 – Practice, Not Pressure

Our big idea is: connection with God grows through practice, not pressure.

The Jewish people built their lives around rhythms with God, while we often try to “fit Him in.”

What does that difference reveal about how we view our relationship with Him?

Follow-up:
How might even a few intentional rhythms reshape that connection?

Q4 – When Noise Wins

We talked about both external and internal noise.

What tends to drown out God most in our lives right now?

Follow-up:
How can community help us notice when life feels full—but our souls are running dry?

Q5 – The Next Right Thing

Tyler, you tied connection with God to simple obedience—doing the next right thing.

For someone who feels stuck, what’s one small step they could take this week?

Follow-up:
Why does God so often meet us in ordinary obedience instead of big breakthrough moments?

JOIN US SUNDAY!

Host:
That’s all we’ve got for today! We’ll see you and your guests this Sunday at 9 and 10:45 as we take the final (yet ongoing) step together.

If you can’t make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1PM.

We know these Steps have been challenging—but we hope they’ve also been deeply rewarding.

Remember—it works if you work it.

Until next time… go BE LOVE!

Step Ten: Ongoing Inventory

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Tyler, and RaChelle to talk about Step 10 — continuing to take personal inventory and promptly admitting when we’re wrong. Before diving into the conversation, the group catches up about the weekend and reflects on the Bible Reading Challenge, continuing through Deuteronomy and Mark.

Then the conversation turns to Sunday’s message.

SUNDAY DISH

The reaction to “taking inventory”
When people hear the phrase take inventory, reactions vary. For some it sounds freeing and clarifying. For others it feels exhausting or intimidating. The group reflects on why honest self-examination can feel uncomfortable—even though it’s meant to lead to freedom.

The illusion of “arriving”
Jamey pointed out that following Jesus doesn’t make us sinless—it makes us forgiven. Yet many Christians quietly assume maturity means we should eventually stop struggling. That expectation can create pressure to hide our struggles instead of bringing them honestly before God and trusted community.

“When,” not “if”
Step 10 uses the phrase when we were wrong, not if. That small word reminds us that spiritual growth doesn’t eliminate mistakes—it teaches us how to respond when they happen. Honest acknowledgment of failure doesn’t lower the bar for holiness; it keeps us grounded in humility and grace.

Living one day at a time
Jamey shared the illustration of eating a lifetime’s worth of food one day at a time. In the same way, spiritual growth becomes overwhelming when we try to think about the entire journey at once. Focusing on today helps us stay connected to Jesus in the present instead of discouraged by the past or anxious about the future.

Honest community
The group reflects on a story shared Sunday about an older man who openly admitted his ongoing struggles. Moments like that show the power of honesty in community. When people feel safe enough to tell the truth about their lives, it creates space for real growth without pretending we’ve already arrived.

Practicing Step 10
Jamey described three ways to practice this step:

  • Spot-check inventory — pausing in the moment when something feels off
  • Daily inventory — reflecting on the day with God
  • Periodic inventory — stepping back occasionally for deeper reflection

For someone feeling overwhelmed, the best place to start may simply be a daily moment of reflection with God—asking where things went well, where we missed the mark, and where grace is needed.

Final Reflection

Regularly admitting when we’re wrong doesn’t push us farther from Jesus—it keeps us close to Him. Honest reflection reminds us that growth isn’t about perfection, but about continually returning to grace.

Join Us Sunday

That’s all we have time for today, friends! Join us THIS Sunday at 9 and 10:45 AM as we continue taking the next step toward healing and freedom together. If you can’t make it in person, watch on YouTube at 1 PM.

These Steps may be challenging, but they’re shaping something good.

Remember: it works if you work it.
Go be love, everybody—we’ll see you next week!

Step Nine: Making Amends

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Doug, Tyler, and Jamey to talk about Step 9 — making direct amends whenever possible. Before diving into the conversation, the group catches up about the weekend and reflects on the Bible Reading Challenge, currently in Deuteronomy and Mark.

WHAT THE WHAT???

Listener Sarah Beth wrote in with a thoughtful question after reading the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25). She shared how the passage seems to highlight the difference between outward association with faith and genuine readiness for Christ’s return.

Her question connects this parable with other passages like Matthew 7:21–23 and James 2:19, asking how we understand the tension between believing in God and actually having a relationship with Jesus.

More personally, she shares the heavy burden many Christians feel for loved ones who claim faith but don’t seem to pursue a relationship with Christ. The group acknowledges that tension—we can’t see anyone’s heart, but love naturally makes us care deeply about the spiritual lives of the people around us.

SUNDAY DISH

The conversation then turns to Step 9: making amends.

Why apologizing feels so hard
Doug shares a vulnerable moment about scrolling through old text messages and realizing how many apologies existed in his conversations. It sparked reflection on why apologizing can feel so difficult—even when we know we were wrong. Often the biggest hurdle is moving from feeling bad to actually taking responsibility.

The deeper weight of the Prodigal Son story
Looking at the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, Doug explains that asking for an inheritance early in that culture wasn’t just reckless—it was deeply offensive and relationally damaging. Understanding that helps us see why honest acknowledgment of harm matters before we try to repair relationships.

Real repair vs surface apologies
Doug shares a quote from John Ortberg:
“It’s one thing to make repairs on the outside, it’s another thing to be repaired on the inside.”

Surface apologies often focus on restoring peace quickly, but real repentance allows God to address the deeper patterns that caused the hurt in the first place.

A practical framework for making amends
Doug introduces the CRAFT framework for approaching difficult conversations:

  • Conversation
  • Recalling the harm honestly
  • Apologizing clearly
  • Forgiveness (asking, not demanding)
  • Taking responsibility through follow-up

The group also highlights an important caution from Step 9: sometimes direct contact could cause further harm, so wisdom and discernment matter.

When amends don’t lead to reconciliation
Even in the Prodigal Son story, the older brother remains angry. That reminds us that sincere apologies don’t always bring immediate reconciliation. Healing can take time, and a healthy community makes room for both repentance and wounded people processing their pain.

Where to begin
For anyone who already knows the name on their Step 9 list but feels anxious or unsure, the first step might simply be preparation—prayer, reflection, humility, and pacing the process wisely.

Final Reflection

How does understanding God’s grace toward us give us the courage to pursue restoration with others?

Join Us Sunday

That’s all for today, friends! Join us THIS Sunday at 9 and 10:45 AM as we continue taking the next step toward healing and freedom together. If you can’t make it in person, watch on YouTube at 1 PM.

These Steps may be challenging, but they’re worth it.

Made for Mondays | STEPS

Step Eight: The Damage: Name Those We've Harmed

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Tyler, Jamey, and RaChelle for a conversation around one of the most stretching steps yet: Step 8 — making a list of people we’ve harmed and becoming willing to make amends.

After some light weekend catch-up (including dinner at Lofay’s 👏), the group reflects on the Bible Reading Challenge, walking through Numbers and Mark, and noticing themes of new life in Jesus—especially how Paul and other Jews wrestled with what transformation actually meant.

Then they step into Sunday’s message.

And let’s be honest—Step 8 hits differently.

Because it’s one thing to talk about personal growth.
It’s another thing to start naming the people impacted by our brokenness.

Here’s where the conversation goes:

• The first reaction
When you hear, “Make a list of people you’ve harmed,” what rises up first? Resistance? Fear? Defensiveness? Maybe even relief? The group unpacks why that reaction is so common. Naming harm confronts the image we prefer to manage—the version of ourselves we’re most comfortable believing.

• Why we remember our hurt more clearly than our harm
Drawing from Tyler’s “two lists” tension, the conversation explores why it’s easier to recall who hurt us than where we’ve hurt others—even unintentionally. It reveals something deeply human: we instinctively experience life from the center of our own story. Step 8 gently invites us to shift perspective.

• Zacchaeus and dignified shame (Luke 19)
Luke includes the detail that Zacchaeus climbs a tree—an undignified act for a grown man in that culture. Why does that matter? The group reflects on how shame isolates, but Jesus moves toward him anyway. Even more powerful: Jesus calls Zacchaeus by name before repentance or repair happens.

Being seen with grace makes honesty possible.
Grace doesn’t excuse harm—it creates the safety to face it.

• Grace and responsibility belong together
Heather repeats a key line: “Grace doesn’t make responsibility unnecessary—it makes it possible.”
The group discusses why grace is often misunderstood as the removal of accountability instead of the empowerment to embrace it. What would change if a church truly believed conviction and compassion could coexist?

They also name the important distinction between conviction (which invites growth) and condemnation (which attacks identity).

• Cleaning up our side of the street
Step 8 asks us to own our part—even when we’ve also been hurt. That’s a hard tension. The conversation makes space for the reality that acknowledging harm we’ve caused doesn’t minimize wounds we’ve experienced. Both can be true. The key is resisting comparison and scorekeeping, which only delay freedom.

• Beginning, not finishing (Year of Practice)
In alignment with The Year of Practice, the focus shifts from completing Step 8 to simply beginning it well.

A healthy first attempt might look like:

  • Choosing posture before productivity
  • Pacing the process instead of rushing it
  • Exercising safety and wisdom
  • Distinguishing willingness from full readiness

Because Step 8 isn’t about speed. It’s about sincerity.

The episode closes with a powerful question:

What kind of freedom becomes possible when we stop managing our image and start naming the truth?

When we stop curating how we’re perceived and begin embracing honesty, something shifts. Not instantly. Not perfectly. But meaningfully.

And yes—shout out to Renee. 🙌

Made for Mondays | STEPS

Step Seven: The Petition

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Jamey, and Tyler for a conversation centered on Step 7 in the STEPS journey: The Petition.

After some weekend catch-up (yes, Olympics enthusiasm makes an appearance 👀), the group reflects on the Bible Reading Challenge, having just stepped into Numbers and Mark, before diving into Sunday’s message.

And before things get too serious? An Olympic icebreaker. Favorite sport. Strong opinions. No medals awarded—just bragging rights.

Then the conversation turns toward the heart of Step 7.

Pastor Heather framed this step around a powerful idea:
Humility begins when asking feels safer than hiding.

Step 7 invites us to humbly ask God to remove what we cannot—to stop performing and start trusting.

Here’s where the conversation goes:

• Asking vs. hiding
The group reflects on a simple but revealing question: Are you more likely to ask for help—or hide what you’re dealing with? For many of us, hiding feels easier. Safer. More controlled. But hiding also keeps us stuck.

• The Samaritan Woman (John 4)
Heather revisits the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus asks her for a drink before addressing her story. He doesn’t shame her. He doesn’t expose her. He creates safety first. The timing—noon—suggests she was avoiding people. And yet Jesus meets her there.

The group explores what this shows us about how Jesus approaches our shame—and what it might look like for us to create that same kind of safety for someone else. Where do we choose isolation over community? And what would one small, honest “ask” look like this week?

• Pride vs. humility
Referencing Dallas Willard, Heather highlights that humility grows when we stop pretending, stop presuming we’re already in the right, and stop pushing our will over others. The group wrestles with an important distinction: humble asking isn’t passive resignation. It’s active trust. It’s choosing dependence over self-protection.

• Safe enough to be honest
If humility begins when asking feels safer than hiding, what would it take for our church to truly be that safe? The group discusses the culture, language, leadership posture, and everyday practices that help a room feel safe enough for someone to say, “I’m not okay,” and still be lovingly moved toward healing.

• The OWN practice: Observe, Welcome, Name
Heather unpacks a practical tool for Step 7 in real time. Instead of enthroning our emotions—or ignoring them—we can:

  • Observe what we’re feeling.
  • Welcome it without panic or shame.
  • Name it honestly before God.

The group walks through a real-life example—hurt leading to withdrawal—and what it looks like to pause in the moment, name the emotion, and ask God for help instead of hiding behind it.

Because Step 7 isn’t about pretending we’re stronger than we are.
It’s about admitting we’re not—and asking anyway.

The big idea stays simple and challenging:

Humility begins when asking feels safer than hiding.

And that kind of humility doesn’t grow overnight. It grows through small, honest prayers. Through noticing when the umbrella goes up. Through choosing to ask instead of withdraw.

You don’t have to take these Steps perfectly.
You can take them at your own pace.
And you don’t have to take them alone.

We’re continuing the STEPS journey, and we’d love to walk it with you.

Step Six: Becoming Entirely Ready

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Tyler, and RaChelle for a conversation about one of the most honest—and quietly confronting—steps in the STEPS journey: Step 6, becoming entirely ready for God to remove our defects of character.

After catching up on all things Night to Shine and Valentine’s Day, the group reflects on what stood out from this week’s Bible Reading Challenge (hello, Leviticus… and wrapping up Matthew 👀), before leaning into Sunday’s message.

Step 6 sounds hopeful at first. Who doesn’t want change?
But it also sounds slightly terrifying.

Because it’s one thing to want freedom.
It’s another thing to be entirely ready for God to actually change us.

This episode lives in that tension—the space between desire and readiness.

Here’s where the conversation goes:

• The gap between almost and entirely
Jamey names the deeply human space between being almost ready and entirely ready. The group reflects on why that gap is normal in spiritual life—and why growth so often unfolds in that in-between place.

• It’s not laziness—it’s division
Drawing from James 1’s image of being double-minded, the conversation explores what it looks like to pray sincere prayers while still rowing toward something else. The problem isn’t usually effort. It’s divided trust. We don’t often tell God “no”—we just quietly say “not yet.”

• Our modern “not yet” prayers
Referencing Augustine’s famous, “Lord, make me chaste… but not yet,” the group laughs—and then gets honest. Where do we postpone change today? Comfort, habits, relationships, control? Resistance rarely sounds rebellious. It usually sounds like “tomorrow.”

• Identity is the deeper issue
The heart of Step 6 isn’t behavior modification—it’s identity transformation. Jamey revisits three common identity lies:

  • I am what I have.
  • I am what people think of me.
  • I am what I do.

If we believe those, then letting God change us can feel like losing ourselves. But if we are already God’s beloved, then change isn’t loss—it’s freedom.

• What didn’t make it into Sunday’s message
The group creates space for what couldn’t be said in the sermon—clarifying that readiness isn’t about emotional hype or dramatic surrender. It’s quieter than that. More honest. More patient.

• What becoming ready actually looks like
For the listener who feels resistance, the group makes it practical:
Becoming ready might look like noticing where you say “tomorrow.”
Naming your excuses honestly in prayer.
Sitting with God before trying to fix yourself.
Letting willingness be smaller—and slower—than you expected.

• Encouragement for the not-yet-ready heart
If you’re thinking, “I want to be entirely ready… but I’m not there,” the encouragement is simple: stay. Stay honest. Stay with God in that space. Readiness isn’t forced. It’s formed.

Step 6 reminds us that transformation doesn’t begin with trying harder.
It begins with becoming honest enough to admit where we’re not ready—and trusting God enough to stay there with Him.

That’s not failure.
That’s preparation.

Made for Mondays | STEPS

Step Five: The Confession: Into The Light

This week on Made for Mondays, Jamey is joined by Tyler, RaChelle, and Doug for a conversation that leans into one of the most uncomfortable—and most life-giving—steps in the STEPS journey: Step 5, The Confession.

After some easy weekend chitchat (Olympics, Lunch with Jamey, Super Bowl energy, and all the usual real-life moments), the group shifts toward what God has been stirring through the Bible Reading Challenge, setting the stage for a deeper conversation.

Then they dig into Sunday’s message.

Confession often carries a lot of baggage. For many of us, it sounds intense, dramatic, or reserved for people with really messy lives. But what we heard on Sunday—and what this episode keeps circling back to—is a simpler, more disruptive truth: healing happens in the light.

Rather than re-preaching the message, this episode slows things down. The group sits with Step 5, turns it over, and asks what it actually looks like to practice confession in everyday life, especially as part of what we’re calling The Year of Practice.

Here’s where the conversation goes:

• Confession as a rhythm, not a moment
The group reflects on the idea that confession isn’t a one-time spiritual event, but an ongoing rhythm in following Jesus. That shift surfaces both curiosity and resistance—especially for those who grew up seeing confession as something reserved for emergencies or major failures.

• Information vs. being known
They explore why it’s often easier to share facts about our lives than the true condition of our hearts. Confession, they note, isn’t about dumping information—it’s about allowing ourselves to be fully known.

• The real risk of being seen
Confession feels risky not because we don’t love Jesus, but because we can hide from people. The group names common fears: judgment, misunderstanding, and the possibility that a relationship might change once the truth is out in the open—and reflects on where those fears come from.

• “In solitude, we can convince ourselves of anything”
Tyler revisits a powerful line shared in a conversation at Believers, and the group unpacks how isolation makes it easier to minimize, rationalize, or delay change. Community, they reflect, interrupts those inner narratives and brings clarity where self-talk distorts reality.

• Who confession is for
James’ instruction—“confess your sins to each other”—opens a thoughtful discussion about discernment. Not everyone. Not no one. Each other. The group talks about what makes someone a safe and faithful witness, and why wisdom matters when choosing where confession lives.

• Confession as a spiritual discipline
Instead of asking why confession matters, the conversation turns practical: What would it look like to practice confession as a regular discipline rather than an emergency response? They explore how increased honesty, intentional relationships, and preventative rhythms could reshape spiritual growth.

• Accountability without shame
Accountability is reframed not as control, but as protection for the healing confession begins. The group reflects on how accountability has been modeled well—and poorly—and what makes it feel life-giving instead of heavy-handed.

• From rows to circles
The episode closes with a compelling vision of the church as a place where people can take off their masks. The group discusses what needs to be true—culturally and relationally—for that kind of community to exist, and how leaders and everyday people alike play a role in shaping it.

The big takeaway is clear:
Confession isn’t about shame. It’s about freedom.
It’s not about exposure—it’s about healing.

Step Four: The Examination: A Fearless Inventory

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Adrienne, and Kirk for a conversation that might sound intimidating at first—but turns out to be deeply freeing. Together, they unpack Step 4 of the STEPS journey: a searching and fearless moral inventory.

Yes… fearless. Deep breaths.
And no—this is not a shame spiral.

After some weekend chitchat and reminding us all that we’re real people with real lives, the group reflects on this week’s Bible reading, centering especially on Psalm 139—a passage that is both comforting and confronting in the best possible way.

From there, the conversation moves into the heart of the step.

Pastor Jamey reframes moral inventory not as condemnation, but as inspection—bringing what’s real into God’s light so it can finally be healed. Anchored in Psalm 139 and shaped by the truth of Romans 8:1 (“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”), Step 4 becomes less about self-punishment and more about Spirit-led honesty.

Here’s where the conversation goes:

• First reactions to “moral inventory”
The group starts light—but honest—naming the gut reactions many of us have when we hear that phrase: avoidance, anxiety, curiosity, or something else entirely. Those reactions often reveal how we’ve been taught to look at ourselves—and what we expect to happen when we do.

• Inspection vs. condemnation
Jamey talks about the subtle but important difference between avoiding self-examination out of fear and inviting God into the process with trust. One leads to hiding; the other leads to healing.

• Shame-based introspection vs. Spirit-led inventory
The group contrasts the inner spiral of shame with the gentle conviction of the Holy Spirit. They reflect on what helps them stay honest without turning inward reflection into self-punishment—and how “no condemnation” reshapes the entire process.

• From vague to specific
Referencing Lew Smedes’ insight that vague confession leads to vague forgiveness, the conversation explores how easy it is to hide behind general phrases like “I’m just struggling.” The group encourages naming the actual thing—carefully, honestly, and safely—so freedom can take root.

• The courage of Psalm 139
Psalm 139:23–24 becomes the centerpiece: “Search me, God… lead me.”
Why does that prayer feel risky? And what picture of God helps us trust Him enough to pray it anyway? The group reflects on inviting Jesus into one specific area of life this week—not harshly, but gently and truthfully.

• Practice, not pressure
As this Year of Practice continues, the group reminds listeners that Step 4 isn’t about rushing or fixing. It’s about cooperating with God. They discuss small, realistic ways to make space this week—through prayer, journaling, or quiet—for God to surface what actually needs attention next.

The episode closes with this reminder:
Step 4 isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about trusting God.
You don’t have to do it fast.
You don’t have to do it alone.
And nothing you uncover is a surprise to Him.

The group also highlights the value of BeGroups—whether that’s Starting Point, Christina’s financial group, or another safe space—because this work was never meant to be done in isolation.

Step Three: The Decision — “I Think I Will Let Him”

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather sits down with Jamey, Chelle, and Tyler to unpack Step Three of STEPS: The Decision—the moment where we stop white-knuckling our way forward and begin practicing surrender.

After weekend chitchat and reflecting on this week’s Bible reading from Genesis 49, Exodus 1–10, and Matthew 15–18, the conversation turns toward one of the most deceptively difficult spiritual shifts:
moving from trying harder to trusting deeper.

Pastor Jamey reminds us that we cannot heal our inner world through willpower alone. But when we release control and trust God’s care, He leads us toward shalom—not just peace as calm, but peace as wholeness. Surrender, as the group explores, isn’t giving up on life; it’s giving up our own way so Jesus can form something better on the other side.

Here’s what they dive into:

• The small places control shows up
From thermostats and dishwashers to driving directions and group texts, the group laughs—and then gets honest—about how control sneaks into everyday life. Those same instincts often follow us into our faith, especially when life feels uncertain.

• “God, fix this” vs. “God, lead me”
The conversation names a tension many of us recognize: praying for relief without actually wanting transformation. Whether it’s a relationship, a stressful season, or a recurring emotional pattern, the group reflects on how surrender often feels more threatening than the pain we already know.

• When surrender feels like loss
Looking at Jesus’ words in Matthew 16, the group wrestles with the idea that surrender can feel less like peace and more like losing control. What does surrender actually look like in normal, everyday life—and how do we take a concrete step when resistance shows up?

• The parts we give… and the parts we guard
Quoting C.S. Lewis, the group reflects on the truth that Jesus doesn’t want a portion of us—He wants all of us. They discuss which parts of life feel easiest to offer God, and which parts we carefully protect, along with how that changes when we trust that Jesus is freeing us, not undoing us.

• Praying differently
Where are we most tempted to pray “fix this”—and what would it sound like to pray “lead me” instead? The conversation highlights how community plays a vital role in keeping us honest when we slide back into control mode, reminding us that surrender isn’t meant to be practiced alone.

• Open hands, not clenched fists
Jamey revisits the powerful image from Sunday’s message: clenched fists versus open hands. The group reflects on what it means to physically and spiritually release control—and what it looks like to place something we’re holding tightly back into God’s care.

• A faithful next step
Rather than trying to be the Savior, the episode closes by inviting listeners to take one faithful next step this week—perhaps inviting a trusted person into the decision so surrender becomes a lived practice, not just a good idea.

Made for Mondays | STEPS

Step 1. The Problem: I Can't

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Adrienne, and Tyler as they continue the STEPS journey by unpacking Step One—the uncomfortable, freeing, and surprisingly hopeful place where real change begins.

After weekend chitchat and reflecting on this week’s Bible reading from Genesis 18 and Matthew 6, the conversation turns toward a truth many of us quietly avoid:
we are really good at managing appearances… and not very good at admitting powerlessness.

This episode explores what it means to stop pretending we have it together and start telling the truth about where we’re stuck—not in a dramatic collapse, but in the ordinary, Monday-morning kind of struggle where we keep thinking, “I should be further along by now.”

Here’s what they talk through:

• Powerlessness vs. image management
Step One invites us to admit we can’t control what’s broken in us—but most of us are far more fluent in curating competence. The group discusses where resistance shows up when the problem isn’t out there but in here, and why naming that honestly is harder than it sounds.

• “Not that bad” as a spiritual stall tactic
The phrase “it’s not that bad” gets exposed for what it often is: a quiet way of settling for less freedom than Jesus offers. The conversation explores why minimizing our struggles feels safer than naming our real withered hand—and how that safety actually keeps us stuck.

• Stretching what can’t stretch
Looking at Jesus healing the man with the withered hand, the group reflects on why Jesus asks him to do the very thing he cannot do. What does that reveal about how transformation actually begins—and how does it confront our instinct to fix, hide, or self-improve before showing up honestly?

• What makes honesty possible in church
Jamey shares the conviction that the church should be “the safest place in the world for a sinner.” The group wrestles with what helps create that kind of safety—and what shuts it down—both personally and communally.

• Whose eyes are we most aware of?
When we imagine being fully seen, whose gaze shapes us most: other people, our inner critic, or Jesus? The answer often determines what we’re willing to bring into the light—and what we keep hidden.

• A listener question worth sitting with
A faithful listener writes in asking where Scripture encourages that first small turn toward God—the 0.1-degree shift for someone who feels far away or powerless. The group reflects on biblical moments where God meets people not after the full turnaround, but right at the first honest step toward Him.

• Weakness as the doorway to power
Paul reframes weakness as the very place where God’s power shows up. The episode closes with a practical invitation: one small stretch of faith this week—a prayer you’ve been avoiding, a confession, a text asking for help, or simply showing up to a group.

And finally, the conversation lands on this image:
Jesus with outstretched hands on the cross—not asking us to try harder, but inviting us to trust deeper.

Made for Mondays | Steps

The Problem: I Can’t

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather sits down with Joe and Adrienne to kick off a brand-new year—and a brand-new series—Steps. Together, they unpack Sunday’s message that reframes “new year, new you” away from willpower and toward Jesus as our Deliverer.

After catching up on Christmas break and introducing The Year of Practice Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation turns honest and deeply relatable:
Why do so many of us want to change… and still feel stuck?

The group explores how the patterns we struggle with run deeper than discipline and why real change begins not with trying harder, but with bringing our basement places into the light within safe, honest community.

Here’s what they dig into:

• Resolutions, reality, and starting the year honestly
From half-kept resolutions to abandoned goals, the group talks candidly about how the pressure to “fix ourselves” often sets us up for discouragement—and why this year is about practice, not perfection.

• “I can’t” statements and the power of naming reality
Jamey reflects on the opening pages of Steps and the familiar “I can’t” statements that resonate so deeply. The team shares what emotions surface when we admit our limits—and why that admission is actually the starting point for transformation.

• Romans 7 and the struggle we all recognize
“I do what I do not want to do.”
The conversation unpacks Paul’s letter to the church in Rome, exploring what “the Law” means, how it still enslaves us today, and why awareness without deliverance only deepens frustration.

• Discipline as a response, not a replacement
In a Year of Practice, how do we pursue discipline as a way of responding to Jesus rather than trying to substitute discipline for Jesus? The group talks about rhythms, grace-filled practices, and why effort alone can’t heal what’s broken.

• What the church can learn from recovery spaces
Jamey shares wisdom from time spent at AA meetings with his mom—including the powerful idea that while churches often celebrate miracles upstairs, the real miracles happen in the basement.
This leads to a raw conversation about sanitized faith, hidden struggles, confession, and what it would look like to build communities where honesty is safe and transformation is real.

• A radical Big Idea
“With Jesus, the worse your story, the warmer your welcome.”
The group discusses how churches can embody that truth—not just say it—and what guardrails help keep stories centered on Jesus instead of self-promotion.

• Sitting at a different table
Looking at Jesus calling Levi in Mark 2, the conversation explores what it means to practice grace like Jesus did—intentionally moving toward people others avoid—without confusing grace with enabling.

• Practicing community, not just talking about it
Before wrapping up Sunday’s service, the church practiced being in groups. The team reflects on why that mattered and how getting connected to a Steps group is a vital next step for anyone ready to pursue real change this year.

Made for Mondays | The Christmas Playlist

Light That Can’t Be Manufactured

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Tyler, and Doug as they lean into the heart of Christmas week and unpack Sunday’s message about real joy and real light—the kind that doesn’t come from a playlist, a purchase, or pretending everything is fine.

After some weekend catch-up and reflections from Revelation 10–15, Psalms 145–157, and Proverbs 30, the conversation turns toward a timely and honest question:

What’s the difference between manufactured cheer and received joy?

As Christmas approaches, the group reflects on the ways we often try to produce joy—through nostalgia, noise, shopping, control, or even religious performance—when what we actually need is to receive joy as the fruit of abiding in Jesus. Jamey shares how Christmas music can sometimes feel like it’s trying to convince our souls everything is wonderful, even when life feels dark.

The discussion explores:

• Chasing a mood vs. staying close to Jesus
How do we tell when we’re chasing a feeling instead of abiding in Christ? The group shares honest “litmus tests” that reveal when joy has become something we’re forcing rather than receiving.

• Darkness and light
Jamey unpacks the idea that darkness isn’t a thing—it’s the absence of light. Spiritually, that shifts the battle. Instead of staring at darkness, we’re invited to step toward the Light.
What does that look like practically? The team offers simple, doable steps—like intentional prayer, confession, community, or a single act of obedience—that help move us closer to Jesus when gloom starts creeping back in.

• Shining brighter in real life
Rooted in Matthew 5, the BIG IDEA comes into focus:
In a world getting darker, we need to shine brighter.
Not performative faith—but quiet faithfulness. Reconciliation. Costly generosity. Staying at the table with people we disagree with. The group shares real-life examples of what that kind of light looks like when it shows up in everyday moments.

• Light beyond our walls
The conversation connects to The Gift and Believers’ partners in Cuba, highlighting how faithful believers there are shining the Light of Jesus in powerful, practical ways—and why it’s such a gift to be part of what God is doing through them.

• Community in the dark seasons
Jamey revisits a story from one of his darkest seasons, where isolation played a central role. Doug and Tyler reflect on how deeply they relate—and why community isn’t optional for spiritual health.
The group also points ahead to Steps and the importance of getting connected to a small group in the New Year.

Made for Mondays | The Christmas Playlist

Joy That Lasts Longer Than the Season

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Tyler, Adrienne, and Joe as they unpack Sunday’s message on joy—not the glittery, Hallmark-movie version, but the kind Jesus promises… the kind that doesn’t disappear when the decorations come down.

After some weekend catch-up and reflections from Revelation, Psalms, and Proverbs, the team jumps into a real, honest conversation about why Christmas can feel emotionally louder than any other time of year.

🎄 First things first:
Where is everyone landing on the Christmas spectrum right now—full Elf-level hype or deep-in-your-bones Grinch-core?

Tyler opens up about the now-legendary Dragon Ball Z childhood heartbreak that shaped his inner Grinch, and the group reflects on why we often chase joy in ways that can’t actually sustain us.

The conversation explores:

• Why Christmas magnifies expectations—and disappointments
This season promises joy everywhere we look, but often delivers pressure instead. The group talks honestly about unrealistic expectations and why they hit harder this time of year.

• Pruning, not punishment (John 15)
Jesus describes pruning as an act of care, yet in real life it can feel like loss, limits, or disappointment.
How do we tell the difference between loving pruning and shame-based self-punishment—and how do we stay connected to Jesus when something gets cut back?

• Stories of fruit after the cut
The team vulnerably shares areas where God removed something they didn’t love losing at the time, but now see the fruit that came from it.

• Joy that makes room for grief
Jesus promised a joy that would fill us and overflow—but what does that look like when we’re carrying grief, loneliness, or financial strain during the holidays?
The group talks about what it could look like for our church to practice joy and lament together.

• JOY: Jesus, Others, You
The JOY wristband is a helpful reminder—but how do we keep it from becoming just a slogan?
What does “Jesus first” look like in a normal week?
How do we love others sacrificially without ignoring healthy limits?
And how does generosity—like participating in The Gift—become overflow rather than pressure?

The episode wraps with a simple, practical challenge:
If someone wants the kind of joy Jesus offers—not a seasonal sugar rush—what’s one thing they can do this week to remain in His love?

Episode 276 | December 8

The Christmas Playlist Begins: “All I Want for Christmas Is You”

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Adrienne, and Jamey as we kick off our December message series—The Christmas Playlist. Each week, a familiar Christmas song will launch us into deeper truth about why the birth of Jesus is good news for everyone, for all time.

After some weekend catch-up and reflections from Revelation, Psalms, and Proverbs, the crew opens the conversation with a festive question:

🎶 What’s on YOUR Christmas playlist?
Everyone shares their favorite Christmas songs and the memories, nostalgia, and theology (yep!) behind the ones they love.

Heather then takes us into Week 1 of the series, built around All I Want for Christmas Is You. With help from the choir, this Sunday kicked off with a fun moment—but also a deeply meaningful look at desire, longing, and contentment.

The team unpacks:

• Needs vs. wants:
Heather shares about the season of life when she first realized the difference—and the panel reflects on when they stopped depending on parents for everything and started managing desires on their own.

• Two pictures of desire:
James 4 warns about desires at war within us, while Psalm 37 promises God will give us the desires of our hearts as we delight in Him.

• Q: What does it look like for God to rewrite our “wish list”?
Especially during a season when constant advertising pushes us toward more, the team explores how God transforms what we want.

• The “school of contentment”:
If contentment is something Paul learned, we can too. The team shares practices that help cultivate contentment—especially for those walking through disappointment or scarcity this Christmas.

• The Gift (2026):
After unveiling the projects last week, Heather recaps the goals and heart behind The Gift.
They discuss how generosity joins us to God’s heart—and why the “gifts” our church most needs to give this year aren’t all financial.

• A preview of January:
Jamey shares a first look at our upcoming churchwide series and BeGroup study based on John Ortberg’s Steps. It’s designed to help our church and community grow in spiritual practices, belonging, and next steps in faith.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, Heather sits down with Jamey, Adrienne, and Megan Angel for one of the most joy-filled episodes of the year—our annual celebration of generosity: THE GIFT.

After some Thanksgiving-weekend chitchat and reflections from the Bible Reading Challenge, the team dives into the heart of what makes this Sunday so special. Since everything in this episode centers around giving, Heather kicks things off by asking the crew to share some of their most memorable Christmas gifts—the ones that meant something, made them laugh, or left a lasting mark.

From there, Jamey walks listeners through the why behind The Gift—before ever getting to the “what.” He shares the story of how it began, how it’s grown, and why it continues to shape the culture of Believers Church year after year. Adrienne and Angel share their earliest memories of The Gift and the moments that helped them understand why it matters.

The team highlights story after story of how generosity has opened doors, softened hearts, and drawn people to Jesus—simply because someone from Believers chose to be love in the community.

They unpack:
• What makes The Gift so counter-cultural in a skeptical world
• The three goals that shape The Gift every year
• Why those goals can transform how we see giving—and Christmas itself
• This week’s BIG IDEA:

“Faith that doesn’t cost you is counterfeit.”

• How each of them is personally wrestling with generosity, sacrifice, and heart-posture this year

And of course…they finally unveil The Gift 2026 projects—what they are, why they matter, and how listeners can participate.

Before closing, the team gives a sneak peek into the brand-new Christmas teaching series launching this Sunday: The Christmas Playlist.

🎧 It’s warm, inspiring, and full of stories that remind us that generosity is not something we do—it’s who we are.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, Heather hosts with Jamey, Adrienne, and Joe for an honest, energetic, and surprisingly fun deep-dive into end times confusion, cultural chaos, and what it means to stay steady when the world feels anything but steady.

The crew kicks things off with some weekend highlights and Bible Reading Challenge reflections before jumping into the Sunday Dish—starting all the way back in 1999, the height of Y2K panic, and why every generation seems convinced their moment is the moment.

Jamey revisits his message and shares the famous line from one of his professors: “Date setters are upsetters!” That leads the team into a thoughtful conversation on end-times predictions, spiritual misinformation, and why “The Day of the Lord” has felt confusing for every generation—ancient Jews and Greeks included.

They unpack:
• How false teaching spreads today just as quickly as it did in Paul’s time
• How to stay vigilant about who we follow and trust
• Why the “great falling away” conversation has spanned 2,000 years
• Why Christians are so fascinated by the anti-Christ—and how to talk about it without spiraling into anxiety

Throughout the episode, the team reflects on this week’s Big Idea:

The more unstable our world seems, the more stable God’s people need to be.

Heather asks each guest how they personally practice that stability in real life, and the team shares practical rhythms to help listeners ground themselves in truth, hope, and confidence in Jesus.

Before signing off, Jamey gives a teaser for this coming Sunday.

🎧 Join us for a grounded, thoughtful, and hope-filled conversation about living steady in an unsteady world.

📅 Sundays at 9 & 10:45A — on campus or online

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, Joe hosts with Heather, Jamey, and RaChelle for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on persecution, justice, and what it means to be an irresistible, resurrection-shaped church.

The crew kicks things off with weekend stories and Bible Reading Challenge reflections before diving into a What the What?! question from Zach: How do we know Paul wasn’t just using Jesus’ return as a motivational tactic—like Santa for grown-ups? Jamey breaks down why the early church lived with such confidence in Jesus’ return and why their hope was grounded in reality, not rhetoric.

In the Sunday Dish, Heather recaps her message and gives a behind-the-scenes look at ICN (International Church Network) and what it means for Believers to be part of a global movement of churches. The team swaps their favorite ICN stories, talks faith on road trips, and unpacks a powerful testimony from a persecuted believer in China that reshaped their perspective on faith, suffering, and spiritual grit.

Listeners also sent in two big questions:
• How do we “leave room for God’s wrath” and pursue justice without revenge?
• What does an irresistible, resurrection-centered church actually look like in a comfortable, Western context?

Jamey and Heather work through these with honesty and clarity.

Finally, the team walks through this week’s Next Steps, rooted in 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12—three practical practices designed to help all of us deepen our faith, love others well, and stand with the global church.

💡 Next Steps:

Pray 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12 each morning

Show Jesus’ love to one person in a tangible way

Fast from one meal to pray for persecuted believers

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Tyler keep the conversation rolling in our Get Ready series with a powerful look at 1 Thessalonians 5 — and some deep listener questions you won’t want to miss.

As we celebrate Veterans Day, the crew kicks off with a couple of big “What the What?!” questions from our inbox — including how to handle Christian content creators who mix faith and politics, and what it really means that Jesus is both God and the Son of God. Jamey helps untangle these with biblical wisdom and clarity.

Then in the Sunday Dish, Tyler unpacks the message Live Like Him Now and reminds us that knowing how it ends should shape how we live today. The group talks about encouraging others, loving differently in a culture that celebrates retaliation, and what it means to keep the Holy Spirit’s fire alive in our lives.

💡 Big Idea: We’ll live with Him then — so let’s live like Him now.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Get Ready series with a powerful message from 1 Thessalonians 4 called Hope in the Resurrection.

Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Tyler unpack Paul’s encouragement to believers who were grieving loved ones that had died before Jesus’ return. The conversation dives deep into why our hope in Christ changes how we face death and loss—and how knowing how it ends changes how we live.

From what happens when we die, to what it means that “the dead in Christ will rise first,” to why the resurrection matters for our future and our faith today—this episode helps bring clarity and comfort to some of life’s biggest questions. You’ll also hear honest reflections on grief, hope, and how we can walk with others through loss.

💡 Big Idea: Knowing how it ends changes how we live.

📖 Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 | 2 Corinthians 5:8 | 1 Corinthians 15:35–57 | John 11:25–26

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Get Ready series with a message called Holy Living.

Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Adrienne unpack what holiness really means and how it plays out in everyday life. Holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. In this episode, the crew explores Paul’s challenge in 1 Thessalonians to live set apart in a culture that often celebrates the opposite.

They talk about how holiness is both a gift and a process, why love is the ultimate proof of holiness, and what it means to live quietly, work diligently, and love generously. Plus, they tackle a great listener question about what it really means to “bring your offering and come into God’s presence” from 1 Chronicles 16.

💡 Big Idea: Holy people love like Jesus.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Open Invitation series with a powerful message from 1 Thessalonians 3 — Standing Firm in the Storm.

Joe, Adrienne, Tyler and Lauren talk about what it looks like to hold onto faith when life gets hard, exploring Paul’s encouragement to the Thessalonians to stay strong even in the face of opposition. From tests and losses to the everyday pressures that try to shake our trust, this conversation digs into how God uses difficulty to build endurance and deepen our dependence on Him.

Together, we unpack the difference between feeling stronger and feeling safer, the reality of spiritual opposition, and how our problems can become platforms that point others toward Jesus. Whether you’re in the middle of a storm or walking with someone who is, this episode reminds us that God’s faithfulness never wavers.

💡 Big Idea: Stand firm in your faith—your storm isn’t the end of your story.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re continuing our Get Ready series through 1 & 2 Thessalonians with a conversation called Walking the Talk.

Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Adrienne unpack what it really means for our lives to give credibility to our message—and whether the reverse can also be true: can the message we share add or take away credibility from our lives? Inspired by a listener’s deep “What the What?!” question, the team digs into Paul’s reminder that our purpose is to please God, not people, and explores how authenticity, gentleness, and hard work make the gospel believable.

They also discuss what it looks like to share life, not just words; to treat people as friends, not projects; and to align our walk with our talk in a culture that’s skeptical of faith.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to live out your faith in a way that draws others toward Jesus, this episode offers both challenge and encouragement to walk it out well.

💡 Big Idea: Live in a way that makes the gospel believable.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re kicking off our new fall series — Get Ready: A Study on 1 & 2 Thessalonians.

Heather, Jamey, Ad, and Joe dive into Sunday’s message, unpacking the tension we all feel in today’s culture and how Scripture helps us navigate it with faith, love, and hope. From political divides and social suspicion to the call to live with Kingdom values, this episode gets real about what it means to infuse our culture rather than just influence it.

We also tackle a listener’s “What the Whaaattt?!” question inspired by an A.W. Tozer quote: if so much of what we do could continue without the Holy Spirit… how do we start doing work that requires Him?

If you’ve been feeling the weight of cultural tension or wondering how to hold onto hope when faith feels hard, this conversation will ground and challenge you.

💡 Big Idea: Live your faith. Love your world. Hold onto hope.

This week on Made For Mondays, we close out our Open Invitation series with a powerful reminder: Everyone brings someone.

Joe, Jamey, and Adrienne talk about why joy makes our invitations compelling, how the “ladder illustration” helps us see our role in sharing faith, and why the simple step of telling matters more than we think. Along the way, they wrestle with the challenges of speaking up, unpack Penn Jillette’s perspective on evangelism, and share practical encouragement for praying for and inviting your “one.”

We also look ahead to our brand-new study in 1 & 2 Thessalonians—a series all about standing firm in faith and living with hope in a world that desperately needs both.

If you’ve ever wondered when the right time to tell someone about Jesus is, or struggled with hesitation to invite, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re wrapping up Part 3 of our Open Invitation series with a conversation about what makes an invitation enjoyable.

Heather and Jamey unpack why joy matters in our faith, how it shapes the way we invite others, and what to do when following Jesus feels more like endurance than enjoyment. We explore John 15’s call to “abide,” the role of Sabbath celebration, the power of unplugging, and the hope of resurrection thinking—all practical ways to rediscover joy and share it with others.

We also tackle a listener question about salvation and security in Christ, wrestling with Romans 3, James 2, and John 10 to better understand how faith, works, and assurance fit together.

Whether you’re struggling to find joy in your walk with God or just need fresh encouragement to invite others, this conversation will help you take real steps toward a faith that’s vibrant, hopeful, and worth sharing.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re continuing our Open Invitation series with a conversation about what makes a good invitation.

From jury duty stories to the simple power of the words “come and see,” we explore why invitations matter, how our good deeds make them credible, and the small steps we can take to invite others into faith. Along the way, we reflect on Philip and Nathanael’s encounter in John 1, dig into how reputation and resistance shape people’s view of church, and talk honestly about overcoming fear, hesitation, and assumptions.

Heather is joined by Jamey and Joe as they share personal stories, wrestle with real-life barriers, and remind us that a good invitation always starts with doing good.

Whether you’re figuring out how to invite your “one” this year or just looking for encouragement to keep shining in your neighborhood, this episode will give you practical steps and fresh perspective.

This week on Made For Mondays we’re kicking off our Open Invitation series by exploring what it really means to extend an invitation. From the barriers that hold us back (fear, time, not knowing what to say) to the simple yet powerful words, “come and see,” we unpack how God is already at work in people’s lives long before we step in.

Along the way, we share personal stories about the power of an invitation, dig into Nathanael’s skepticism in John 1, and wrestle with how small steps of obedience can change eternal stories. Whether you’re new to faith or just need encouragement to take that next step, this conversation is for you.

Whether you’re asking big questions about faith or just need encouragement in a hard season, this conversation is for you.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re unpacking Hebrews 4 and what it means that Jesus is 100% God and 100% human. We talk about how His humanity helps us trust Him more deeply—and why that matters when we face outsiders, temptations, and struggles in our own lives.

From difficult work relationships to feelings of shame, we dig into real questions like:
• How do we treat people who disrupt our rhythms?
• How does Jesus’ humanity reshape the way we see outsiders?
• What steps can we take to be more transparent with God and others?
• How do we stop shame from derailing our faith?

We also look at communion and why it’s more than just a tradition—it’s a reminder of the fresh start we have in Jesus. Whether your brand new to faith or just need encouragement in the middle of your struggles, this conversation points back to the truth.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re diving into the truth that Jesus is 100% God and 100% human—all the time. We talk about how that reality meets us right in the middle of our fear, and why it matters that He both understands what we feel and has the power to do something about it.

From childhood fears to real-life moments of extreme stress, we unpack practical tools to face fear: naming it, anchoring our thoughts, shifting our soundtrack, serving others, and ultimately trusting Jesus—maybe for the first time or all over again.

We also talk about the role of community in hard seasons and how small groups can help us walk with others through their struggles. Whether you’re in a season of fear or walking with someone who is, this conversation will encourage you to lean into the God who gets it and has got it.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re wrapping up Summer Playlist with a grand finale that’s all about worship as a lifestyle. From weekend stories with new puppies and family basketball games to Matthew 21’s “fig tree faith,” we’re talking about the build-up that makes a finale unforgettable—and how Psalm 150 calls us to live a life of praise beyond just singing.

We unpack what worship looks like in the everyday moments—through stillness, motivation checks, and giving credit where it’s due—and why our worship often feels most real when life gets messy. Plus, we challenge each other to pick one “mighty work” of God to reflect on this week, because His power didn’t stop with the Bible; it’s still showing up today.

Big Idea: Worship is more than singing, it’s a lifestyle.

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re diving into the tension between being fully known and fully loved. From weekend recaps and Bible reading highlights to Doug’s country-twang song prompt and a deep look at Psalm 139 and Romans 7, we’re talking about the human instinct to hide—and God’s invitation to be found.

We unpack what it means to stop performing and start showing up, how vulnerability isn’t the same as oversharing, and why the real win in life isn’t staying hidden—it’s being seen, known, and loved anyway. If you've ever wrestled with shame, felt unseen, or struggled to believe you’re both known and accepted, this one’s for you.

Big Idea: God can both know us completely and love us perfectly.

This week on Made For Mondays, we talk about what it means to wait well—even when life feels out of control. From Tyler’s unexpected peace at 30,000 feet to David’s raw honesty in the Psalms, we unpack how remembering, reflecting, and responding can shift your perspective in the middle of the mess.

We also dig into spiritual vending machines, mixtapes, and what happens when God says “no”… or nothing at all. Whether you’re waiting on answers or just trying not to hit refresh again, this one’s for you.

Big Idea: Maybe it’s not just you waiting on God—maybe Jesus has been waiting on you.

Got a question? Let us know!

What do Chick-fil-A grand openings, dance floors, and Psalm 100 have in common? More than you’d expect.

This week on Made For Mondays, we kick things off with some nostalgia—remember those campouts for free chicken? Pastor Doug shares how that same kind of excitement shows up when that one song hits.

We talk weddings, dance-floor theology, and what it means when joy becomes contagious. Pastor Doug opens up about how Psalm 100 invites us closer to a God who’s not distant, but personal—and why that can feel both comforting and uncomfortable.

Also in this episode: a surprise party story, a Twilight confession (Team Edward or Team Jacob?), and a conversation about how understanding God's love—and His ownership of us—can actually change how we live.

Big Idea: The more we understand the why, the more meaningful the invitation becomes.

Is control just an illusion? In this final week of What Our World Needs Now, we dive into why real self-control doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from surrendering. From Paul’s battle with sin in Romans to a fresh look at walls as protective boundaries, this episode explores how trusting Jesus changes everything. We even break down Greek myths, worship songs, and why willpower alone isn’t enough.

Ever feel like it’s easier to quit than to commit? This week, we’re talking about faithfulness—what it really means to stay when it’d be easier to walk away. We’re looking at how culture treats loyalty like a points system and how that mindset shows up in our relationships. Through the story of Ruth and Naomi, and the faithfulness of God shown in Jesus, we’re asking: what would our church and community look like if we chose to show up, even when it’s hard?

It’s not about pretending things don’t bother us but learning how to stay steady in a culture that’s quick to cancel and slow to forgive.

You read the story of the fishes and the loaves, and after you reading it you got to what I think is the punchline of the story, where Jesus says, “You give them something to eat.!” You said by making that statement, Jesus calls the disciples into hero-ship. Why do you suppose God invites us into the process of participating in doing what only He can actually do?

This topic is no different than other aspects of Jesus’ teaching, it’s so on par with the Kingdom of God…it’s this reverse or upside-down way of approaching the world. God’s economy does not look like our economy it doesn’t make logical sense.
