Right now, you have access to half of the world's population in your pocket. We've never been more connected to people than we are right now. But which one of your 127K instagram followers will you call when you get a flat tire at 2am? This week, Alli Patterson shows us the ancient way of building meaning in your life isn't just about who's in your follower list. It's about Who you're following. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

There’s a future version of you counting on what you do today. All of us are worried about out future: our homes, our stock options, whether or not we'll ever get that Corvette. But Jesus invites us to set up our future in a different way: by loving others. And love isn't just a warm feeling you get sometimes. It looks like serving. This week, Chuck shows us how loving others doesn't just look like a nice, warm feeling. It looks like service. Start now. Future you will thank you. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

24 hours can change everything. From the Last Supper to Good Friday, Jesus remembers an old salvation story while pointing to a new one, one that means everything. Join Alli Patterson as she breaks down the meaning behind these crucial 24 hours - and how that meaning could change your life.

He could've chosen horses, chariots, or maybe even a tank. Instead, Jesus chose a donkey. This week, we kick off Holy Week talking about the arrival of the King—and how He continues to come to us in ways we would never expect. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

When you hear the word "hope", you might think of soft, mushy feelings or a laundry room sign you saw at Michael's. But what if there was a real, tangible hope that didn't just make you feel good, it actually changed the world? When Paul walked in to one of the most powerful cities in the ancient world, he had that kind of hope. And that's why we're still talking about him today. This week, Kyle Ranson visits the ruins of the city of Ephesus to explore Paul's story and show us how we can have the same kind of hope. Recorded live in Cincinnati, Ohio and Ephesus, Turkey.

Imagine Las Vegas. Ok, now imagine it 100x worse. You might be starting to get an idea of what ancient Corinth might've been like. In a city known for it's lack of morality (to put it lightly), God used Paul to completely flip the city on its head. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us the real, hard evidence of how God used Paul (who called himself "worst of sinners") to be transformed, and how we can do the same. Recorded in Corinth, Greece, and Cincinnati, Ohio.

What does it take to run your race with endurance? The middle of the race is where many people quit, but it’s also where endurance is built. In 1 Corinthians 9:25–27, Paul compares the Christian life to a race that requires discipline, perseverance, and spiritual training.  Filmed in Athens, Greece, this message from Kyle Ranson explores how Paul endured a difficult season while standing before the Areopagus, one of the most intimidating places in the ancient world. Through his example, we discover why spiritual breakthrough often comes through perseverance, what strict training helps us stay faithful, and how God endures for us as we endure for Him.

We have good news and bad news. Bad news: suffering exists. The good? God can actually use that suffering to make you better. That thing that is beating you down and makes you want to give up can be the very thing God uses to shape you into who He wants you to be. This week, we go on location with Kyle Ranson in the ancient city of Philippi to learn Paul's story of suffering and how God used it to shape not just Paul, but all of world history. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

God didn't call you to a life on the sidelines. There's new ground God wants you to take — and it will stretch you beyond your comfort zone. That’s the point. This week, we dive into what Paul really meant when he said "run in a way to get the prize"—by actually following his footsteps in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey). This week, Kyle Ranson helps us to see what he saw then, and feel what God is calling you to right now. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

What's #1 way to lose a race? To not know you're running one. Many of us are grinding away at our job, with kids, in our side hustles. But what if God has an entirely different race for you? This week, we look at the life of Paul. He was running down one road, until God literally stopped him in his tracks and set him on a new path. This week, Brian Tome shows us how God might be telling us to do the same Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Crossroads’ Super Bowl of Preaching is full of tailgating, hysterical commercials, two smack-talking teams going head-to-head, a halftime show, and some actual Biblical teaching that might change your life. Recorded live at Crossroads in Cincinnati, Ohio.

What if the bold prayers you’ve been thinking about are the very ones God is waiting to hear? This weekend, we’re not just talking about prayer — we’re doing it. You’ll be guided through a real, raw, and powerful prayer experience. One that helps you bring your biggest hopes, fears, and faith straight to God.Grab a pen. Find a quiet spot. And let's lean in.

When you hear "ferocious", you might think a wild animal attacking it's prey (or maybe your aunt when she doesn't have her morning coffee). But what if that's actually the way Jesus wants us to pray? You have an enemy that's ferocious. This week, Chuck Mingo shows us why and how we can partner with Jesus to take the fight back to him. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Some of us are praying too safe. Praying for comfort is nice sometimes, but we aren't just made to pray that we don't get a nail in our tire or that our pizza is still hot when we get home. We're made to pray in a way that brings Heaven to earth. Things so big only God can do them. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how God doesn't just ask us to pray safe. He asks us to pray big.  Recorded live at Crossroads in Cincinnati, Ohio.
