What does it really mean to build the church—and how is that different from simply attending one? In this episode, we zoom out from the walls of Christ Community Church to see God’s bigger story: a global, multi-ethnic body of believers displaying His manifold wisdom to the world (Ephesians 3).

Together, we unpack why God chose to work through local churches to make the invisible reality of Christ’s kingdom visible, how every believer has a vital part to play, and why the slow, often unseen work of serving is worth it. From exploring spiritual gifts to resisting the drift toward consumerism, this episode calls us to re-embrace the beauty, cost, and joy of being “living stones” in God’s redemptive plan.

What does it really mean to make disciples—and why is this central to everything we do as a church? In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ call in Matthew 28, explore what discipleship looks like in everyday life (even in busy or dry seasons), and talk about why the local church is the primary place where truth isn’t just taught but embodied. Whether you’re new in your faith or have walked with Jesus for decades, this conversation will remind you that disciple-making is for all of us.

What does it mean to be faithful to Scripture—and why does it matter? In this episode, Alyssa Poblete and Pastor Ric talk about the Bible as more than just truth—it’s Truth itself. They explore how Scripture shapes our church, our beliefs, and how we live, especially in a culture always shifting. Whether you're new to the Bible or looking to deepen your engagement, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical steps forward.
