In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we explore Colossians 1:24–2:5 and what it looks like to keep Jesus at the center when life gets difficult. God can use hardship to help us live Jesus-first—not by simply getting us through difficult seasons, but by using them to deepen our relationship with Christ, strengthen our service to Him, and shape the way we love others. We’ll look at how hardship helps us know Jesus more deeply, serve Jesus better, and love others like Jesus. Through Paul’s example, we see a life shaped by the Word of God, rooted in union with Christ, committed to helping others mature in Jesus, and willing to personally invest in and spiritually protect those around us.

In this episode of the Other Six, we take a deeper look at what it means to truly know Jesus by seeing Jesus fully. Walking through Colossians 1:15–23, we discover who Jesus really is—God fully revealed, the Creator and Sustainer of everything, the Lord of the new creation, and the One who reconciles all things to God. But this passage doesn’t just give us a clearer picture of Jesus; it also shows us who we are because of Him. We were once alienated from God, but through Christ we have been reconciled, restored, and brought into a relationship with Him. Now, we’re called to remain faithful and continue living with Jesus at the center. When our view of Jesus becomes clearer, our view of everything else begins to change. The more we see Jesus for who He truly is, the more we understand who we are in Him. At the end of the day, it’s all about Jesus—only about Jesus, and always about Jesus. Tune in as we explore what it looks like to keep Christ in view and let the truth of who He is shape the way we live.

In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we explore what it means to truly put Jesus First, with a question that gets to the heart of how we live: Who’s really in charge of your life? We take a look at what happens when we stop putting ourselves at the center and begin putting Jesus first. The Jesus-first life isn’t simply about adding Jesus to everything else we’re already doing—it’s about letting Him transform how we see ourselves, how we live, and how we follow Him. What does that actually change? And what does it look like to live under the loving, wise, and liberating rule of Jesus? In a world that constantly tells us to put ourselves first, this message challenges us to consider what life could look like when Jesus takes His rightful place at the center. This week, discover what happens when Jesus truly becomes first.

What makes a church feel like family? One big part of it is learning to serve one another. In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we talk about how God didn’t just save us from something—He saved us for something. Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that while we aren’t saved by good works, we are saved for good works. We’ll explore how God has uniquely SHAPEd each of us to serve through our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. Whether it’s serving with VF Buddies, Worship & Production, Follow Up & Care, or another area of the church, there’s a place for you to use what God has given you to meet needs, love people, and bring glory to Him. Church feels like family when we don’t just attend the family—we serve in the family.

What does it really mean to be part of the family of God? In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we dive deeper into Romans 12 and Ephesians 2 to uncover what it means to move from being strangers and outsiders to being fully welcomed into God’s household. Paul’s message to the early church was more than an invitation to attend—it was a call to belong, to serve, and to recognize that we are members of one another. We’ll explore the tension between Jewish and Gentile believers in the first-century church, the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents, and why serving isn’t simply about volunteering—it’s one of the ways we live out our identity as the family of God. Because church feels like family when you treat it like family.

In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we unpack the biblical definition of a disciple, explore the significance of the Trinity in the Great Commission, and talk practically about what it looks like to live sent in our everyday lives. We’ll also connect the four rhythms we’ve explored throughout the series—gathering in worship, growing in the Word, giving to the mission, and going into the world—and see how each one fuels the others. And finally, we’ll look at how God Himself models a “sent” posture throughout Scripture and encourages those who may wonder, “Who am I supposed to reach if everyone I know already knows Jesus?” The rhythm doesn’t end when the series does. We are sent.

What we do with what God has given us reveals a lot about what we value. In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we are diving into Matthew 6:19–24 and Acts 4:32–37 to discover what it looks like to live with a Kingdom heart and practice the rhythm of generosity. Jesus reminds us that where our treasure is, our heart will follow—and that ultimately, God is our Master. In Acts 4, we see what happens when a church embraces generosity together: everyone makes a difference, everyone embraces sacrifice, and every gift has influence. Biblical sacrifice is giving up something we love for something we love even more. God gives to us so He can give through us. So what does your generosity say about your heart? Tune in as we talk about making a commitment to the rhythm of giving and using what God has entrusted to us to make an eternal difference.

In a world of 15-second videos, endless scrolling, headlines, and soundbites, our attention is constantly being trained to consume information quickly. But what happens when we bring that same mindset to God’s Word? In John 8:31–36, Jesus calls His followers to do more than simply hear His words—He calls us to abide in them. In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we unpack what it really means to “abide” in Jesus’ Word and why biblical growth is about far more than increasing our knowledge. We explore the Greek ideas behind menō and logos, the meaning of discipleship throughout the New Testament, and how we can recognize whether Scripture is actually transforming the way we live. We also dive into our identity as adopted children of God and the incredible freedom Jesus offers—not only freedom from the penalty of sin, but freedom to live differently because we belong to Him.

Every week, we make time to gather—but have you ever stopped to ask why? In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we unpack the biblical purpose of corporate worship and why gathering with God’s people is far more than a weekly routine. Looking at Acts 2:42–47 and Hebrews 10:24–25, we explore how the early church devoted themselves to life-giving practices that shaped their faith and deepened their relationships. Together, we’ll discuss why spiritual maturity was never designed to happen in isolation, how worship in both large gatherings and smaller communities forms us into the image of Christ, and why remembering who we are—and whose we are—is essential in a world constantly pulling us in different directions. Whether church has become a habit, a struggle, or a fresh discovery, this conversation will encourage you to see weekly worship not as an obligation, but as one of God’s greatest gifts for your spiritual growth.

In this Episode of The Other Six Podcast, we unpack the timeless wisdom of Psalm 90, the only psalm written by Moses, and discover what it means to live with eternity in view. Together we explore God’s self-sufficiency, His authority over time, and why the God who existed before creation still chooses to be our dwelling place today. We discuss the brevity of life, the difference between numbering our days in fear and in wisdom, what true legacy looks like, and the hope that no season of life is wasted in God’s hands. Join us as we learn how to pray Moses’ final prayer—that God would establish the work of our hands—and discover how living for eternity transforms the way we live today.
