Welcome back to the Ridge Roundtable Podcast!

After a long break, we’re kicking off a brand-new season and this one looks a little different. Not only do we have cameras this time (yes, you can now watch as well as listen), but the theme of this new series is called Threads.

In this opening episode, we catch up on life changes: graduations, moves, new jobs, even unexpected hardships and share how God has been shaping us through it all. From personal stories of growth and suffering to reflections on Peter’s transformation in Scripture, we dive into the reality that sanctification is both God’s work and our responsibility.

Most importantly, we introduce Threads, a series exploring the themes that run from Genesis to Revelation: grace, law, the temple, God’s promises, and more. Each week, we’ll trace one of these threads through the Bible and talk about why it matters for our lives today.

Whether you’re listening on YouTube or listening on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, we’re glad you’re here. Join us as we explore the threads woven throughout God’s Word and discover how they connect to our everyday walk with Christ.
