Last episode, we started our series The Wilderness: Where God Forms His People by reflecting on Israel’s deliverance through the Red Sea in Exodus 14. We saw that deliverance is not the end of the story, it’s the beginning of a journey. This week, we continue the journey. Now on the other side of the Red Sea, Israel enters a long season of testing.

The wilderness is one of the Bible’s most profound and repeated images. It is not simply a geographic location; it is a symbol, a space where people are tested, where comforts are stripped away, and where God reshapes identity. For Israel, Elijah, John the Baptist, and even Jesus, the wilderness becomes a place of divine encounter and transformation. Our series, The Wilderness: Where God Forms His People, will explore how the wilderness is not only a part of the biblical story, but ours as well.

As Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount, he invites us to make a choice: Will we build our lives on his words or not? In this episode, we explore the four closing scenes of Matthew 7, two gates, two trees, a warning, and two builders. Each image calls us beyond passive listening into active following. Jesus calls us to a life formed by trust and obedience. The narrow way may be hard, but it leads to life.

Why are Christians so judgy? Why do some churches feel more like courtrooms than communities? Why does religion sometimes amplify shame instead of offering healing?

In this episode, we take a fresh look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:1–12, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” But instead of pulling that verse out as a soundbite, we explore the deeper kingdom vision behind it. Jesus wasn’t banning discernment, He was calling us to humility, mercy, and transformation.

What if the church was known more for grace than judgment? What if Christians led with compassion rather than condemnation?

Join us as we walk through the words of Jesus, not to shame the church, but to rediscover the radical, mercy-shaped life He invites us into.

At the center of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, He offers us more than a prayer—He offers a vision for life with God. In this episode, we explore Matthew 6:5–13, where Jesus teaches not just how to pray, but why we pray. From warnings about performance and manipulation to the deeply relational invitation of the Lord’s Prayer, this episode helps us rediscover prayer as a way of life in God's kingdom.

Together, we'll consider what it means to live in daily dependence on our Father, align our hearts with His will, and trust in His presence and provision. Whether you're new to prayer or seeking to deepen your practice, this conversation is for you.
