As Jesus makes His way toward Jerusalem, everything intensifies. From healing blind Bartimaeus, to encountering Zacchaeus, to raising Lazarus from the dead, every step reveals who He truly is. The question is no longer if people have heard about Jesus… now they must decide what they believe about Him.

As the tension builds and the cross draws closer, one truth becomes clear: following Jesus always comes with a cost… but it is worth everything.

If you have ever wrestled with commitment, faith, or what it really means to follow Jesus, this episode is for you.

In Week 2 of our “Road to Easter” series, we explore a powerful theme: Mercy on the Margins.

Jesus didn’t take the easy path.

He went out of His way… into uncomfortable places… to reach the overlooked, the rejected, and the forgotten.

As we get closer to Easter, this message is a reminder that Jesus wasn’t just heading to the cross…He was showing us how to live along the way.

In this episode, we begin a powerful journey through the Road to Easter. This first week focuses on a pivotal moment in the life of Jesus, when He “set His face toward Jerusalem” and intentionally began the path that would lead to the cross.

Jesus wasn’t wandering toward Easter by accident. Every step was intentional. Every teaching, miracle, and conversation pointed toward the ultimate sacrifice.

Jesus makes it clear that discipleship isn’t a side activity. It requires surrender, commitment, and a willingness to follow Him even when the path is difficult.

As we prepare our hearts for Easter, this episode challenges us to ask an important question:

Are we truly all in?

In this new podcast series, The Road to Easter, we explore the historical and biblical journey leading up to the resurrection of Jesus. In this first episode, we begin by answering one of the most important questions in the Christian faith:

Who is Jesus really?

Looking through the Gospel of Matthew, we uncover how Jesus is not just another teacher or rabbi. Matthew intentionally connects Jesus to the story of Moses to show that He is the fulfillment of everything the Jewish people had been waiting for.

Jesus didn’t simply come to give better rules.

He came to transform the human heart.

As we move toward Easter, our goal is to see Jesus not just as a story or tradition, but as a real person who walked the road to the cross for us.

In this episode, we walk through Joshua 1–6 and unpack the powerful journey from the Jordan River to the walls of Jericho. What does it look like to step into raging waters before they part? Why does God change the strategy in new seasons? And what happens after breakthrough?

This conversation is about more than a building campaign. It’s about the transitions in your life.

You may be standing in front of your own Jordan.

You may feel like you’re marching around walls that aren’t moving.

You may be tired.

But here’s the truth:

God says the victory is already done.

Breakthrough requires faith that persists when outcomes delay.

Obedience in transition creates testimony in the earth.

And compromise is always waiting after the miracle.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a powerful conversation on Trust in Transition. That difficult space between what was and what’s coming next.

So many of us find ourselves living in the “almost… but not yet” season. The waiting. The uncertainty. The fatigue. The questions:

* Do I move forward or stay still?

* What is God doing in the gap?

* How do I trust Him when I don’t understand?

We unpack biblical examples from Joshua, Moses, Abraham, and the wilderness journey, showing that God often calls us to obedience before the breakthrough.

This episode is an encouragement for anyone walking through a messy transition, learning perseverance, and depending on God for fresh manna today.

If you’re in a season of shaking, don’t quit. God is working.

What should we call you?

We talk about how revelation is not meant to be the end — it’s an invitation. And that invitation almost always leads us into adjustment, obedience, and then experience with God. The challenge is that many of us get stuck in the middle.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, hesitant, or unsure why you’re not seeing breakthrough, this conversation will help you understand what step God may be inviting you to take next.

Instead of talking about New Year’s resolutions, we talk about something deeper — posture, rhythms, and daily obedience. We unpack why we’re calling this the Anti-Resolution Episode, and why chasing a “new word” every January might not be what God is actually asking of us.

Along the way, we have some fun with a few “This or That” questions from Scripture like Peter or Paul, David and Goliath or Jericho, and use them to explore how God shapes us over time. We also break down some common spiritual phrases that sound biblical, but actually aren’t — and why believing the wrong things can subtly shift how we relate to God.

This episode is about moving from big spiritual moments to faithful daily bread. It’s about learning to trust God in the slow seasons, staying obedient when nothing seems to be changing, and letting Him finish what He already started.

If you’re entering a new year feeling tired, unsure, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for you.

Thanks for watching, and Happy New Year.

After returning from maternity leave, Brianna sensed the Lord calling her to step away from her career and stay home with her growing family. A decision that felt risky, emotional, and overwhelming. In the middle of financial uncertainty, exhaustion, identity loss, and fear about the future, God didn’t remove the storm… He met her in it.

Through worship, prayer, and obedience, Brianna discovered that peace isn’t the absence of chaos, it’s a position we can stand in when we fix our eyes on God. This episode explores what it really means to experience the peace that surpasses understanding, and how God often uses the hardest seasons to shape us, refine us, and reveal who He truly is.

We pray this encourages you, strengthens your faith, and reminds you that God is with you — even in the middle of the storm.

🎄 Merry Christmas, and thank you for listening.
