    Nov 7 2025

    In this episode of The 44, we explore the powerful message behind the story of the donkey in the well — a reminder that when life throws dirt on us, faith teaches us to shake it off and take a step up. Through the stories of Hannah, Joseph, and Paul, we see how God turns rejection, betrayal, and hardship into stepping stones that lift His people higher. Scripture shows again and again that what was meant to bury us can become the very thing God uses to raise us. If you're walking through a difficult season, this episode will encourage you to keep stepping, keep praying, and keep trusting. God is not finished writing your story — He’s preparing you to rise.

  • Let Down the Nets

    In this episode, “Let Down Your Nets,” we step into the story of Peter and Jesus in Luke 5:1–11 — a moment where weary fishermen learn that obedience to Jesus can turn emptiness into abundance. Through Peter’s frustration, faith, and surrender, we see how God often meets us right where our efforts have failed. This episode reminds us that the greatest miracle isn’t the full nets, but the transformed heart that chooses to follow the Caller over the catch. Tune in and rediscover what it means to trust Jesus “at His word,” even when the logic says otherwise.

  • Keep Showing Up
    Oct 24 2025

    In this episode of The 44, we’re talking about the quiet power of simply showing up. Hebrews 10:24–25 reminds us that faith grows best in community — not in isolation. When we gather, we don’t just receive encouragement; we give it, and in doing so, we stir one another toward love and good works. Even when it’s hard, showing up becomes an act of faith, a rhythm of hope, and a reminder that God still works through ordinary presence. Don’t underestimate what happens when you just keep showing up — because when you do, God does too.

    When life falls apart and the question rises — “What are we gonna do?” — Scripture points us again and again to one powerful answer: pray. In this episode, we explore moments when God’s people turned to Him in prayer — from Jehoshaphat surrounded by enemies, to Daniel in the lions’ den, to Hannah in heartbreak, to the early church in crisis, and even Jesus in Gethsemane. Each story reminds us that prayer isn’t our last resort; it’s our first response. When we don’t know what to do, we can always turn our eyes to the One who does.

    Fear doesn’t need an invitation — it comes free and moves in fast. But hope? Hope takes work. In this episode, we eat on the difference between faith, fear, and hope, showing how fear spread through Israel, how Jeremiah chose hope among the ruins, and why true hope requires effort, endurance, and trust in God’s faithfulness. Learn how to anchor your soul when fear feels effortless and discover why hope is worth every bit of work.

  • Created for Good Works
    Oct 3 2025

    As Christians, we’re called not just to believe but to live out our faith in active, tangible ways. In this episode, we ask the striking question: When is the last time you did good—not because someone asked, but because you belong to Christ? From Ephesians 2:10, Galatians 6:9-10 and Matthew 25, we see that good works don’t earn salvation, but they are the fruit of it, the evidence of a living faith, and even an offering of worship to God. We’ll talk about the weariness that comes with doing good, how even Jesus felt drained in His ministry, and why we can’t rely on yesterday’s good deeds to cover today’s calling. Join us as we consider what it means to live daily in the good works God has prepared for us.

    In this episode, we wrestle with a simple but powerful question: Will it last? Recent weeks have brought a surge in church attendance following many current events which reminds us how tragedy and crisis often stir people toward God. But history, from the cycles in Judges to moments like 9/11 and COVID, warns us that emotional awakenings often fade. In this episode, we explore how to move from a moment to a movement—anchoring faith in Christ so it not only starts strong, but endures.

  • Don't Go Chasing Adjectives
    Sep 19 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we draw a surprising connection between TLC’s 90s hit “Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls” and the way we sometimes handle Scripture. Just like chasing waterfalls leads to disappointment, chasing adjectives—labels and qualifiers God never used—leads us away from His clear will. Anchored in Ephesians 3 and 4, we explore how the Spirit has fully revealed God’s mind, why His will is ONE, and how adding to His Word only creates confusion. Join us as we learn to trust the simplicity of God’s design and stop complicating what He already made plain.
