Dual Citizens. In Philippians, Paul says our citizenship is in heaven. What does that mean when we’re about to vote? Some say Christians should step back from politics entirely. Others engage, but let a party claim the loyalty that belongs to God alone. Paul, writing to citizens of a proud Roman colony, offers a third way: live as citizens worthy of the gospel, and let Jesus shape, challenge, and sometimes correct every political commitment, left or right. Together we’ll ask what our political habits are forming in us and how the church’s own practices can reshape us. Support the show

Fake News | October 4-25 There is nothing new in the world. Even the early church struggled to know what to believe and what was true. Jude, the brother of Jesus, had a dramatic transformation from unbelief to becoming a pillar of the early church.

There are a lot of things you can worry about: your health, your job, not meeting people’s expectations (our own or others’), not realizing your potential, economic stability, aging, managing stress, the future — the list never ends. Jesus says, “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Bring your worries to church and lay them down before Jesus as we talk about three common things we struggle with. The future is uncertain, but you don’t have to know what’s coming to trust the One who does. So, stop waiting for circumstances to change, and live now, faithfully, in the place God has put you. Relax: whatever it is, God’s got it.  Support the show

Is your to-do list overwhelming? Do you feel constant pressure to perform—at home, at work, even in your downtime? Sometimes it can feel like you’re barely keeping up. Our culture pushes us to achieve, finish, and win—but what happens when it’s all too much? In 2 Corinthians, we meet someone who knew that pressure firsthand. The apostle Paul faced expectations, criticism, and weakness—yet he discovered something surprising: God works most powerfully not through our strength, but through our weakness. In our weakness we actually can access God's strength. How do we do that as a community? Support the show
