Brian and Jess talk about the breakdown of work and why that's true, building on this week's message. While there are things to lament, we aim for the hope we have in the Gospel to lead us forward in our work.

Pastor Brian speaks to us about how work is broken, but Jesus can redeem it.

Jessica and Brian discuss our new series, Work & Rest, and explore the starting place for our work: it's intended design. What we experience with work is not always what it is meant to be. They reflect on the message and stir our imagination to see our work differently.

Pastor Brian speaks to us about how God designed our work to be good.

Brian is joined by several of our staff members! Jess, Lisa, and Stacy all join for a reflective conversation of our Wilderness series and what God has done through it. It is encouraging to remember what God has done and been doing.

Pastor Brian speaks to us on Remembering God's faithfulness we're in the wilderness.

Brian and Jess talk about Sunday's message on the Promised Land, Hebrews 3-4, and promised rest. We see how hope informs our wilderness journeys and allows us to persevere through the challenges we face. How will we ever endure Cody's absence?!

Pastor Brian speaks to us about how Jesus brings us true rest.

Brian and Jess explore Sunday's message on Numbers 22-24 about how we don't see all that God is doing and we can trust him in it. Probably the best podcast we've ever done. And Cody's not here. We wonder if those two things are related...

Pastor Brian speaks to us on how God is faithful even when we cannot see what he is doing.

While Cody is on Sabbatical, we can finally have a good conversation. Just kidding! Brian is joined by Jess as they discuss this week's message on Numbers 21. We explore how the gospel permeates this story and how it helps us live in light of the gospel. Even though it's all about snakes...

Pastor Brian Wilmarth explores how the wilderness reveals our hearts and our need for God’s rescue. Through the bronze serpent, we see that life in the wilderness comes through death—and ultimately through Jesus’ death on the cross.

In this episode, Brian and Cody dive into one of the most puzzling narratives in the book of Numbers: Moses striking the rock instead of speaking to it, and the surprising, severe consequence that followed. While it sounds like an obscure ancient history lesson about water in the desert, they break down why this strange story is actually a mirror for our own daily frustrations, burnout, and moments of taking matters into our own hands. Tune in to discover why God's reaction wasn't just about an outburst of temper, and how learning to "speak to the rock" can totally change how you handle your own dry seasons. What's a time you felt completely justified in "striking the rock" out of frustration, only to realize later there was a better way?

In this sermon from Pastor Brian Wilmarth, we discover how, despite our failures to represent God faithfully, His grace and truth enable us to represent Him through trusting Him rather than relying on ourselves.

Brian reflects on Sunday's message message from Numbers 13-14. What's our perspective? How do we understand the obstacles we face in life?
