What's the Point?: Recent Episodes
Jonathan, Deron, Philip, and Antonio
The “Am I enough?” question can hit like a wave right when God opens a door you prayed for. We talk through why that insecurity is not just about confidence, but about qualification, belonging, and the pressure to prove yourself. When we stop trying to earn our place and start trusting the One who called us, the whole equation changes: God doesn’t demand perfection before obedience, and He doesn’t send us out without supplying what we need.
In this episode, we get honest about the nagging fear of not measuring up and why real confidence comes from trusting the God who calls us. We also dig into Proverbs 10–12 and look at how wisdom shows up through integrity, discipline, and words that give life.

What happens when a bus-aisle brainstorm turns into a microphone, a studio, and a growing community of listeners?
This week we reflect on the wild ride of the Kids and a Calling podcast crew. We discuss trip devotionals, lost recordings, nonstop laughter, honest questions, and the unexpected moments when we realized people far beyond our church were tuning in. What started as a simple idea became a space where voices were found, faith was tested, and real conversations matter.
We talk about learning to step into serious topics with simple language, serving that shapes our character, and the daily challenge of practicing what we preach. You’ll hear how feedback from college students, parents, and even grandparents sharpened our approach, why authenticity beats clichés, and how small faithful actions are real ministry when done unto God.
We also pull back the curtain on growth behind the mic: nerves, sound-check chaos, hearing your own voice for the first time, and learning that consistency can matter just as much as content.
And then… the big reveal — we’re launching our new show under the Point Church brand: Kids and a Calling. We’ll continue unpacking Sunday messages, so they stick on Monday, plus dive into upcoming topics like temptation, neutral living, wisdom from Proverbs and much more.
Our hope is simple: help you see you're not alone, failure isn’t final, and you're never too young or old to walk in purpose. If God’s nudging you toward something a little scary - just say yes. The room always changes when you do.
Subscribe to Kids and a Calling when it launches, share with a friend, leave a review, and tell us what topic you want us to tackle next. We’re building this next season with you.

What if the biggest thing slowing you down spiritually isn’t lack of passion, but the habit of saying “I’ll handle it tomorrow”? In this episode, we break down spiritual awareness in a way that actually fits real life: How small blind spots turn into big problems, how God uses process before promise, and why awareness (not hype) is what keeps you moving forward. We map Cooper’s color code onto everyday faith, talk about staying out of “condition white,” and get practical about sharing your faith without being weird, pushy, or fake. Think simple steps, honest habits, and real conversations that build momentum.
What we cover:
- Cooper’s color code and what “yellow” looks like spiritually
- Why “condition white” is dangerous even when you feel busy
- Daily habits that protect your heart and keep you steady
- Guardrails and boundaries that help you make wiser choices
- How God uses correction and process to prepare you
- Stewardship: building tomorrow by being faithful today
- How to share your faith naturally (with love, not guilt)
- Lifestyle as witness: credibility, consistency, and character
- Listening first, asking better questions
This week's challenge: Try one intentional connection. No pressure, no script. Just build a real relationship. Connection matters, and your faith flows best through trust, not force.

What if the grudge you’re holding is the very thing slowing your growth? In this episode, we take a real look at offense, why it feels justified, how it spreads, and what it steals from your calling. We talk about how offense masquerades as righteousness, and how pride makes it easy to cling to things God is trying to free us from.
From there, we shift the focus to revival, not as a hype moment or a stadium event, but as a personal fire built in the quiet places: your altar, your habits, your unity with others. We unpack how the enemy doesn’t need to take your anointing if he can hijack your attention.
Jesus’ mercy in John 8 anchors the conversation. He didn’t ignore truth, but He also didn’t weaponize it. He chose restraint instead of retaliation, and that same mercy is what keeps our hearts soft when the world tries to make everything gray. Following Jesus means alignment, not image… action, not vibes.
We close with the Micah 6:8 blueprint: do what’s right, love mercy, walk humbly. If you’ve felt drift, distraction, or the sting of offense, this episode is a roadmap back to clarity, courage, and a tender heart.

Big doors don’t move without small hinges.
This episode unpacks the daily “hinges” that decide whether your calling ever opens. We share the advice we’d give our younger selves about confidence, approval, and tuning our ears to God’s voice over the crowd’s.
From there, we face the quiet saboteurs - pride that hides as humility, distraction that dulls our purpose, and gossip that splinters unity. Through stories, Scripture, and real talk, we explore humility, stewardship, submission, and practical steps to rebuild trust when the hinges start to rust.
If you’re ready to strengthen the small things that carry big callings, this conversation gives you the language, the Scriptures, and the next steps to start today.
Follow, share, and tell us: what hinge are you working on this week?

What if the most important part of your spiritual life isn’t the spark but what happens after it fades? This week we talk mercy over judgment, why the high doesn’t last, and how faith actually deepens when feelings level out. We start with simple joys and move into the uncomfortable truth: it’s easier to spot faults in others than to guard our own heart.
We explore the “novelty cycle," the thrill, the peak, and the adaptation. We examine how boredom can trick us into thinking we’ve backslidden. Instead, stability might be the strongest sign of growth.
In this episode we discuss:
• mercy as the antidote to judgment and hypocrisy
• blessings that become stumbling blocks when desire outruns wisdom
• consistency and obedience as fuel for lasting fire
• guarding the heart from drift and deceit
• how God uses stability to grow faithfulness
If you’ve felt the drift after a spiritual high or wondered why the spark won’t stay lit, this episode offers clarity, challenge, and real hope. You’re not stuck; you’re learning to be stable.
Listen, share with someone who needs this reminder, and leave a review to help more students find the show.

Storms will come. Guaranteed. How we respond shapes everything. This week, we unpack how life’s chaos can actually redirect us instead of wreck us. From Hurricane Isaac to Jonah’s detour in the sea, we talk about seeing storms as wake-up calls instead of punishments, learning how God reroutes us for our good, and why delayed obedience just keeps us stuck longer than necessary.
We get real about influence and foundation, who’s shaping your mindset, and what you’re building your faith on. It’s not about panic when the “signs of the times” show up. It’s about preparation, wise stewardship, and putting your gifts to work. Church isn’t a show to watch; it’s a body to join.
Service becomes the heartbeat of this episode. We dive into what it means to show up. Ministry is more than a microphone; it’s the oil that keeps the engine running. It’s small acts that make big impact. Whether you’re behind a camera, holding a door, or leading a prayer, availability always matters more than ability.
Ready to build on rock, not sand? Tune in as we talk:
• storms as wake-up calls
• guarding your influences and building on Christ
• preparing instead of panicking
• using your gifts without comparison
• sowing and reaping through daily habits
• serving as belonging, humility, and growth
• small acts that make big impressions
• availability over ability in every role
• serving beyond Sunday as a lifestyle
We’ve also got a great resource to help you take your next step. Swing by the Start Here Booth in the back corner of the sanctuary or online. Fill out a quick card, get plugged into First Steps, and find out where you fit and how you can start serving now.
Hit play, share it with someone who’s been stuck in a storm, and let’s talk about how to move from surviving to serving.

Want a faith that still stands when life wobbles? This week we dig into humility, the quiet engine of real change. What starts as a light debate on instant skills and “aura” turns into an honest talk about prayer, pride, and the kind of obedience that keeps you steady when pressure hits.
We unpack the if–then of revival: if we humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face, and turn, then He heals and restores. Along the way, we get real about independence that drifts into arrogance, how “prayer changes things” only works when humility changes us, and what it means to serve in the shadows instead of chasing the spotlight.
In this episode we discuss:
• humility as the antidote to pride and the start of revival
• prayer shaped by surrender, not crisis
• repentance as a real turn, not a checkbox
• spotting pride’s quiet signs (defensiveness, comparison, gossip, ingratitude)
• the tension between independence and submission
• consistent devotion after spiritual highs
• seeking God’s story over self-built plans
If you’ve ever felt the drift after a spiritual high, or caught yourself asking God to fit your plan, this conversation’s a reset: humble, pray, seek, turn. Expect Scripture, real stories, and practical moments that point you back to alignment (God’s story first, ours second).
Please subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and tell us how humility is changing your week.

Sometimes the routines that once brought us closer to God can quietly hold us back. This week we talk about how easy it is to cling to the way things were instead of stepping into what God is doing right now. From prayer ruts to old worship styles, even the bronze serpent in the Bible, methods can change but the message stays the same.
We also get real about timing and growth. God’s “not yet” is often mercy, comparison steals peace, and holding onto yesterday’s role can blind us to today’s assignment. Want to know if you are growing? Look for deeper hunger, quicker conviction, and fruit that shows up in daily life rather than only on Sunday.
What we cover:
• Not glorifying the past or methods
• Adapting to new seasons and battlefields
• God’s timing over our expectations
• Discerning idols versus remembering testimonies
• Bearing fruit as the real sign of growth
• Moving from Sunday-only to daily practice
• Serving beyond comfort while staying rooted
• Conviction, boundaries, and self-check rhythms

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to slide off track. In this episode, we unpack how guardrails rooted in Scripture aren’t built to fence you in. They are built to keep you from wrecking your faith.
We dig into why submission to God can’t wait for the “right mood,” and how to build buffers that match your weak spots. Daily choices like prayer, Bible reading, and staying focused often shape your future more than big spiritual highs.
You’ll also hear how to:
- Build buffers that match your weak spots
- Build habits that carry you when motivation runs low
- Spot the difference between sin and “weights” that quietly drag you down
- Tackle pride, materialism, busyness, and fear of judgment
- Shine as light in a world that rewards convenience
- Navigate friendships, set healthy boundaries, and release the pressure of trying to be someone’s savior
Guardrails give you space to stumble without falling apart and help you keep moving toward God with steadiness and strength.

In this episode, we’re diving into character and forgiveness, how the everyday stuff we face can either trip us up or actually help us grow, depending on how we respond and where our faith is rooted.
- Little challenges can either knock us down or build us up. It all comes back to character.
- Our words don’t just pass by; they shape who we are, how we see the world, and how others see us.
- Gossip feels harmless, but it’s one of the quickest traps we can fall into.
- The struggles you face today may be training you to walk with someone else tomorrow.
- Forgiveness in the Bible isn’t partial. It’s full release, letting go of the debt.
- Jesus called us to forgive without limits (think 70x7… no scorekeeping).
- God’s forgiveness toward us is tied directly to how we forgive others.
- When forgiving feels impossible, that’s when prayer steps in. For strength and even for the one who hurt you.
- Forgiving doesn’t erase memory or healthy boundaries. It removes the poison of resentment.
- Even little daily things, like traffic frustrations, are tests that show what’s really in our hearts.

Let’s not fake it! Walking with God while fighting the flesh feels like trying to run a marathon in Crocs. Uphill. In the rain.
This week, we’re calling out the stumbling blocks that keep tripping us. Some are from the enemy but most we fully built ourselves. Good news! We're talking about how to knock ‘em down without losing our minds (or our salvation).
In this episode, we’re gettin’ into:
- Some of y’all blaming the devil… but it was just your bad decision at 2AM
- How character flaws like rage, envy, pride, and petty vibes block your spiritual glow-up
- Why forgiveness is non-negotiable, even when people don’t deserve it (ugh)
- Starving the flesh = feeding the spirit. That means praying, fasting, and actually reading the Bible… not just the verse of the day meme
- How social media is eating your time and your soul
- Your inner circle says a whole lot about who you really are
- Growth hurts. It’s not cute. But it’s necessary.
- Why giving hurts a little when you do it right. That’s kind of the point.
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
Don’t just sit there feeling convicted. Move.
Pick one spiritual discipline this week and go hard:
— Fast a meal
— Open your Bible and read it. Live it.
— Log off social media for a day and spend time with God
Then, go to church. For real. Not just for the fellowship and coffee.

Have you ever felt a spark of the Holy Ghost touch your life in a way that leaves everything changed? That's exactly what we're unpacking in this episode. We examine how our spiritual lives are often veiled by 'noise' and discuss the importance of intentional solitude with God. Wrapping up, we throw the spotlight on the sacredness of silence in our prayer lives, a gem often overlooked in our sound-filled existence. It's not just about finding the silence; it's about what happens when we do—when we're finally still enough to listen to what God is saying. We're issuing a challenge: seek out those quiet moments with God and watch the ripple effect in your life. As we close season seven - remember that these moments of divine encounter are not just fleeting experiences, but the catalysts for lasting change.

So - get ready to laugh along with us, as we dissect the perplexing question of why we, who are linked to an infinite God, so often choose to live in self-created boxes, wrestling with the shadows of comparison, fear, and our oh-so-comfortable knowns.

Discover the true essence of love that respects boundaries and nurtures growth. This episode peels back the layers of what it means to practice unconditional love without losing sight of our own spiritual health and personal safety. We blend biblical wisdom with heartfelt personal stories to reveal why setting boundaries is not just a self-care act, but a deep expression of love — one that Jesus himself modeled. We also take a candid look at the hard road of healing from trauma and the transformative process of true repentance.

Discover the transformative power of divine love as we engage in an intimate conversation about the heart of Christian living. Listen as we tackle the often-overlooked tension between self-sacrifice and self-care, especially within the demanding realm of ministry. We peel back the layers of burnout and the vital need for rest. The discussion turns to C.S. Lewis's wisdom that love is an act of will—a choice that, with God's help, can grow into genuine affection, even for the most challenging of souls.

Have you ever hesitated to extend a friendly gesture because you feared it might be seen as a sign of weakness? Join us as we examine the sixth pillar of kindness, where we discuss the complexities of being kind in a culture that often misinterprets it. We dissect obstacles such as fear, pride, and our own non-stop lifestyles that can inhibit our natural impulse to connect. Finally, we explore the idea of creating a culture of kindness. Picture a world where a "rudeness tax" isn't just a whimsical idea but a real incentive for fostering gentleness and understanding—though we might debate the logistics. We chuckle over the concept but earnestly dive into the challenges of modeling kindness.

The team refused to let the background buzz of construction dampen our spirits as we celebrated small acts of kindness, like Lauren Sartin's gesture of apple muffins and milk, which perfectly illustrated the overarching theme of today's conversation.

Join this episode, where the crew attempts to unravel the complexities of nurturing patience in a whirlwind culture. In this conversation, the crew shares experiences and fears while debating whether the pursuit of patience might inadvertently summon the very challenges we hope to avoid. Yet, we also consider the possibility that these very tests could be the crucible in which our faith and patience are refined, unveiling the transformative potential of waiting on God's timing.
The talk takes an intriguing turn when they dissect the thin line separating patience and procrastination – two behaviors that can often be confused but have vastly different spiritual implications. With candid anecdotes and insights, they illuminate the markers that differentiate a heart that is enduring with hope from one that is dodging out of fear. Don't miss out on what God has for you because of lack of patience.

Ever feel like you're a high-speed train barreling through life, wishing everything from your morning coffee to your career progression could happen at the click of a button? Well, buckle up, as we navigate the twists and turns of patience versus the fast lane, as well as the pressing issue of today's instant gratification culture—where Amazon Prime and Jimmy John's have us all convinced that patience is a thing of the past. But here's the kicker: patience isn't just about playing the waiting game; it's about active engagement and maintaining a hopeful attitude while we do the right things—even when they seem fruitless. Pastor Jared's message is a call to arms, or rather, a call to calm, urging us to blend preparation with perseverance. So, let's reassess our passion for immediate results and cultivate that patient streak. Remember, if Noah could stick to the divine plan for 120 years, surely we can manage to give that slow driver ahead a break. Join us for a journey into patient triumphs, and let's discover together how to build that pillar of patience in our everyday hustle.

Have you ever felt the warm embrace of grace when you least expected it? The crew discusses Evangelist James Wilson's message, "When Jesus Runs After Me." This episode is a poignant reminder that no matter how far we stray, the path back to God's embrace is paved with unconditional grace.
Grace isn't just a theological concept; it's the heartbeat of our spiritual journey.

Leveraging insights from thinkers like Max Lucado and Philip Yancey, we examine how the grace we receive can overflow into generosity towards others. Join the crew as they share personal anecdotes of grace in action and advocate for a life marked by patience, love, and kindness—the pillars that sustain a grace-filled existence.

Ever felt like hope was a distant dream, obscured by the clouds of your mistakes? Let's clear the skies in this edition of First Five, as we unpack Evangelist James Wilson's sermon from yesterday, "When Jesus Ran After Me." Journey as we dissect the prodigal son's story from the gospel of Luke, diving into the heart of entitlement and the transformative power of humility.
Imagine a father, breaking cultural taboos, running—unabashed to welcome his wayward son home. That's the scene we scrutinize, drawing wisdom from the father's perspective, adorned with undignified love and limitless grace. Wilson's message is a compelling call to recognize not the son's extravagance in wastefulness but rather the father's extravagance in mercy. Join us for a conversation that promises to inspire, challenge, and perhaps shift your perception of acceptance and grace. This episode isn't just about a biblical story; it's about personalizing the profound layers of love awaiting us all when we choose to return home.
