CPXL Season 2 • Episode 15: When Your Soul Feels Distant This week on CPXL, Pastors Andy Addis and Eric Franklin are joined by Salina Location Pastor BJ Fletcher as they continue through Psalms: The Bible’s Songbook by stepping into the raw honesty of personal lament. Centered on Psalm 42—and its continuation in Psalm 43—they explore what it looks like to bring your deepest discouragement, doubt, and longing before God. Together, they unpack the tension of feeling distant from God while still choosing to hope in Him, highlighting the repeated refrain: “Why, my soul, are you downcast?” This conversation leans into the reality that faith isn’t always steady or strong—it can be weary, emotional, and searching. Yet even in the middle of lament, there is an intentional turning toward truth. Through this discussion, they invite listeners to consider how they talk to their own soul in difficult seasons, and what it looks like to fight for hope when God feels far away.

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 4 Genesis 25:12–18 – The Account of Ishmael’s Line As the book of Genesis continues to narrow from nations to one family, Scripture pauses to record the generations of Ishmael—Abraham’s son who was not part of the covenant line, yet still deeply seen and blessed by God. In this episode of CPXL, we explore Genesis 25:12–18 and what Ishmael’s genealogy reveals about God’s faithfulness to His promises. Though Isaac carries the covenant forward, God does not forget Ishmael. His line grows into twelve princes and a great nation, fulfilling the words God spoke years earlier to Hagar and Abraham. This conversation helps us distinguish between blessing and covenant, showing that while God’s purposes are specific, His mercy is wide. Ishmael’s story reminds us that God keeps His word—even when human decisions complicate the story—and that His compassion extends beyond the boundaries we often assume. In This Episode: Why Scripture records Ishmael’s genealogy How God fulfills His promises outside the covenant line The difference between blessing and covenant What Ishmael’s story teaches us about God’s character How this passage shapes the way we view those who feel “outside” the promise Key Scriptures: Genesis 25:12–18 Genesis 16 Genesis 17:18–20 Genesis 21:13 Psalm 145:9 As we reflect on God’s faithfulness to Ishmael, we’re invited to trust God’s promises more deeply—and to see others with greater compassion as we continue into the story of Isaac’s sons.

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 3: The Abrahamic Covenant — God’s Promise, God’s People, God’s Plan | Genesis 12, 15, 17 After the scattering at Babel, God begins something new through one man and one family. In this episode of CPXL, we explore the Abrahamic Covenant—God’s foundational promise that sets the trajectory for the entire biblical story. Walking through Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we see that God’s covenant is entirely His initiative—grounded in faith, not performance. From Abram’s call to trust without seeing the full picture, to God alone cutting the covenant, this conversation reveals God’s heart to restore, bless, and redeem the nations. The episode also points forward to Jesus, the promised descendant through whom the blessing to all nations is fulfilled—showing how faith, not lineage, defines God’s people. In This Episode: God’s call to Abram and the meaning of covenant Why faith is central to God’s promises How the covenant expands in Genesis 15 and 17 How Abraham’s story points forward to Jesus What it means to live as people of the covenant today Key Scriptures: Genesis 12:1–3 Genesis 15 Genesis 17 Galatians 3 Romans 4 As Genesis narrows from nations to one family, we’re invited to see ourselves within God’s unfolding covenant story—and to consider where He may be calling us to trust Him without seeing the full picture.

Genesis 10:1–11:26 | Nations, Babel, and God’s Direction In this episode of CPXL, Andy Addis and Eric Franklin are joined by Ryan Booth for the first three-pastor conversation of Season 2 as they walk through Genesis 10–11—the account of Noah’s sons, the spread of nations, and the Tower of Babel. Genesis 10 shows how humanity repopulates the earth after the flood, forming diverse nations and families. Genesis 11 reveals how pride and misplaced unity fracture that diversity at Babel. Together, these chapters remind us that while humanity multiplies, moves, and sometimes rebels, God remains sovereignly at work—directing history toward His redemptive purposes. The conversation explores why the “Table of Nations” matters, what Babel teaches us about pride and unity, and how God’s scattering is not only judgment, but also loving direction. The episode closes by pointing forward to the genealogy of Shem and the emergence of Abram—evidence that God’s plan continues even through a fractured world. In This Episode: Why Genesis 10 matters more than we think Unity, diversity, and God’s design for the nations The heart issue behind the Tower of Babel How God redirects humanity without abandoning His promise The hopeful line leading toward Abram Key Scriptures: Genesis 10:1–32 Genesis 11:1–26 Genesis 1:28 Deuteronomy 32:8 Acts 17:26–27 Hebrews 11:8–12 As Genesis shifts from nations to one family, we’re invited to see how God works through history—and through ours.
