    4. Abiding with Christ: Performance Driven or Presence Seeking?
    Jun 24 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most vital aspects of the Christian life — abiding in Jesus. What does it truly mean to remain connected to the True Vine? How do we stay spiritually rooted in a world full of distractions, stress, and spiritual dryness? Today, we’re not only going to unpack what Jesus meant in John 15 when He said, 'Abide in me, and I in you', but we’ll also share practical tools and rhythms that can help you cultivate a life of daily connection with Christ. Whether you’re feeling spiritually vibrant or you're in a season of disconnect, this conversation is for you. So grab your Bible, maybe a journal, and let’s explore together how we can walk more closely with the One who gives us life, fruitfulness, and joy.

    3: Black History is Gospel History: The Chicken & the Pig
    Jun 10 2025

    Juneteenth — a day of freedom, resilience, and remembrance. But what does it mean for the Church? What does it look like to truly pursue racial reconciliation in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus?

    Today, we’re not pulling punches. We’re exploring the legacy of slavery, the Church’s silence — and sometimes complicity — and how we, as followers of Christ, can be part of God's redemptive work in our generation.

    This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a call to action, to empathy, to justice, and above all — to love. So grab your Bible, open your heart, and let’s have the conversation the Church needs to have.
