Episode 017 | Jesus’ Spicy Family Tree: Women Edition

Four unexpected women. One unstoppable redemption story.

In this episode, we uncover the bold, complicated, deeply human stories of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba—the four unlikely women Matthew intentionally places in Jesus’ genealogy. Their lives are marked by scandal, loss, courage, foreign roots, and raw resilience. And yet, God weaves each of them directly into the lineage of the Messiah.

From Tamar’s fight for justice, to Rahab’s courageous faith, to Ruth’s unwavering loyalty, to Bathsheba’s restoration after profound injustice—this episode explores how God refuses to edit out the mess and instead builds redemption through the very people the world tries to disqualify.

If Jesus’ family tree is full of grit, grace, and complicated chapters… there’s hope for your story too.

Ep. 016 | Beyond the Four Walls (Part 2) w/ Jesse Bates

What if “church” wasn’t a building you walk into, but a life you actually live out? In Part 2 of this powerful conversation with Jesse Bates, we step outside the sanctuary doors and into the everyday spaces where faith becomes real, resilient, and unmistakably alive.

Jesse joins us to unpack what it means to follow Jesus beyond Sunday mornings—into workplaces, neighborhoods, friendships, and all the places we sometimes overlook. And yes, that includes her own community hub, Sly Fox, where great coffee and genuine connection meet. Her stories from the shop beautifully show what it looks like when kingdom influence quietly threads its way into ordinary moments.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between the familiar rhythms of church life and the bold, outward-facing mission Jesus modeled, this one’s going to hit home.

Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired to take your faith beyond the four walls.
