  Agriculture - The Church As... - Genesis 2, Deuteronomy 28, Isaiah 5 19.08.2026 7p

  Whether you have a backyard garden, a few houseplants, or can barely keep a pothos alive, there’s something deeply satisfying about watching things grow. It’s no surprise, then, that Scripture so often uses gardens, vineyards, fields, and trees to describe God’s people. It's a reminder that spiritual growth takes time, requires care, and ultimately depends on God, the one who makes every good thing flourish.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4xQoPC1 We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  The City of God - The Church As... - Psalm 48, John 4, Hebrews 11, Revelation 21 18.08.2026 7p

  Have you ever visited a city that just felt special, a place where you felt at home the moment you arrived? The Bible paints a picture of an even greater city, one built not just with streets and buildings, but with God's presence, protection, and people. As we explore the Church as the City of God, we'll discover that this metaphor points us toward both our purpose today and the eternal home we're longing for.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3RTi82L We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  God's Temple - The Church As... - 1 Kings 8, 1 Corinthians 3, Ephesians 2 17.08.2026 7p

  As a fellow word nerd, I love how Scripture uses vivid images to help us understand who God is and who we are. One of the most powerful is the temple, because it tells the story of a God who has always desired to dwell with His people. From Solomon’s temple to the church today, we see a beautiful truth unfold: God’s presence is no longer confined to a building, but lives within His people.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4g31o2g We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Canaanite Woman - Nameless - Matthew 15 14.08.2026 7p

  I’ve had seasons where God’s response felt confusing or even harsh, like I was knocking on heaven’s door and getting silence instead of comfort. That’s why the Canaanite woman’s story hits so deeply: she meets Jesus in a moment that feels sharp and unexpected, yet her persistence and humility reveal something truer and kinder underneath. Even when God’s ways don’t make sense at first glance, He’s still drawing us closer, not pushing us away.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4wfLZ3w We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Pilate's Wife - Nameless - Matthew 27 13.08.2026 7p

  I’ve been in those moments where you feel like the only one who sees something clearly, and your heart starts pounding because you know you’re supposed to speak up. That’s why Pilate’s wife stops me in my tracks. This unnamed woman who had one unsettling dream and still found the courage to say something when no one else would. Sometimes God positions us in quiet corners of influence, not to be loud, but to be faithful.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4g1nalP We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Queen of Sheba - Nameless - 1 Kings 10 12.08.2026 7p

  I grew up watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and I always wondered who I’d call if I needed a lifeline. That’s why I’m so drawn to the Queen of Sheba: a woman who traveled 1,500 miles through the desert just to ask the smartest man alive the questions she’d been carrying in her heart. Real wisdom is worth seeking, and God isn’t intimidated by our curiosity...He welcomes it.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4q1nTHX We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Medium of Endor - Nameless - 1 Samuel 28 11.08.2026 7p

  I’ve never been quite too sure what to think about ghosts until I realized the Bible actually has one. It makes me laugh because it feels more like a plot twist than a theological category. And tucked inside that wild moment is an unnamed woman who’s been written off for centuries, even though her courage and compassion end up playing a surprising role in God’s story. A reminder that God sometimes speaks through the most unexpected people and places, even the ones we’d never think to look.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3Rz40eT We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Pharaoh's Daughter - Nameless - Exodus 1-2 10.08.2026 8p

  Some people can remember every birthday, every coffee order… me? I’m just trying to get people’s names right. Maybe that’s why it hits me so hard when Scripture introduces these brave, history‑shaping women without ever telling us what to call them. As I read about Pharaoh’s daughter, this unnamed woman who quietly defied her father’s cruelty, I’m reminded how often God uses the overlooked and unnamed to break cycles and change stories.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4z3peSU We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Resurrection and Sacrifice - Paul's Odyssey - Acts 20 07.08.2026 7p

  Acts 20 gives us a wild story about a late‑night gathering, a sleepy listener, and God stepping in with resurrection power reminding us that He’s present even in the most ordinary moments. As Paul keeps giving his whole life to sharing Jesus, we’re invited to think about what it looks like to follow God with that same steady, wholehearted faith.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4fHvjLI We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Miracles and Silver Shrines - Paul's Odyssey - Acts 19 06.08.2026 8p

  In Acts 19 we see that God’s power isn’t distant or reserved for a select few. He pours out His Spirit on ordinary people in ordinary places, meeting us right where we are. As Paul steps into Ephesus, we see how God breaks old patterns, invites new beginnings, and keeps shaping us into people who reflect His heart in a world full of competing voices.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4vY2cdm We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Coworkers and Corinthians - Paul's Odyssey - Acts 18 05.08.2026 7p

  Work relationships can be complicated—some coworkers lift you up, some stretch you, and some you’re still trying to figure out. Paul shows us in Acts 18 that he didn’t walk out his calling alone; God wove people into his life to encourage, support, and shape him, just like He does for us today.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4xhqQa5 We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Riots and Scholars - Paul's Odyssey - Acts 17 04.08.2026 7p

  Our stories of meeting Jesus vary. Some of us met Him slowly over the years, and some of us in one surprising moment. God knows exactly how to reach each heart. As Paul moves through Thessalonica and Athens, we see how God meets people in conversation, curiosity, and real‑life questions… the same way He meets us today.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4vVEs9y We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Dreams and Earthquakes - Paul's Odyssey - Acts 16 03.08.2026 7p

  Some seasons feel a little like an odyssey of our own—full of detours and moments that stretch us. Acts 16 shows us that God is right in the middle of all of it, guiding Paul through dreams, closed doors, earthquakes, and unexpected people. As we step into this chapter, let’s remember that the same God who led Paul faithfully is leading us gently, right where we are.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/44Tdx3r We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Rejected Are Invited - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 14, 15 (VAULT) 31.07.2026 7p

  Birthday season at our house is full of balloons, streamers, and joy—but also the stress of endless party planning decisions. All that effort reminds me of Jesus’ parable of the great banquet in Luke 14, where a host pours his heart into preparing a feast only to be met with excuses. The good news is that God’s invitation to His kingdom is even more extravagant, and He throws open the doors to welcome everyone in, celebrating each lost one who comes home.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4vNYBPP We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Poor is Rich - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 16, 7, Matthew 5 (VAULT) 30.07.2026 8p

  When I sat down with Stacy Cleveland from Vision House recently, I expected practical answers about homelessness—lists of needs, ways to donate, or volunteer opportunities. Instead, she spoke first about isolation, and the power of simply being present with those who feel unseen. Jesus reminds us in Luke 16 that true wealth isn’t measured by what we keep, but by how we see and care for our neighbor, inviting us into a kingdom where compassion is the currency of heaven.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4wueDOF We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Love Your Enemies - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 10, Matthew 5 (VAULT) 29.07.2026 7p

  This year another Wicked movie is hitting theaters, and while I may grumble about part one and part two, I can’t help but love the story behind the so‑called “wicked” witch. Her origin reminds us that villains often have complicated pasts, shaped by misunderstanding and mistreatment. Jesus takes this same theme and flips it upside down in Luke 10, showing us that even those we label as enemies—like the Samaritan—can be the very picture of mercy, calling us to love beyond boundaries.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4aGnzrQ We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Losing Life Is Saving It - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 9, Matthew 16 (VAULT) 28.07.2026 7p

  Spoiler alert: some of the most powerful stories in film revolve around sacrifice—characters giving up dreams, comfort, or even their lives so others can flourish. From Casablanca to the Iron Giant to the Avengers, these moments stir us because they echo a deeper truth. Jesus embodies the ultimate sacrifice, turning the world’s logic upside down by giving His life for ours, and inviting us into a kingdom where dying to self leads to life to the full.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4h232BY We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Least is Greatest - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 9, 14, 18 (VAULT) 27.07.2026 7p

  What if the very things that feel backwards—like giving instead of keeping, or lowering yourself instead of climbing higher—are the keys to real joy? Behavioral economics professor Dan Ariely points out that life’s contradictions often bring the deepest rewards, and Jesus showed us this counterintuitive way first. In Luke’s gospel, we’re invited into the “Upside Down Kingdom,” where the least become the greatest, release brings freedom, and humility opens the door to God’s lasting peace.Show Notes:  https://bit.ly/4vNX1gR We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

  Some joys are small, like a perfect sunset or a Cherry Coke Zero, but our joy runs deeper because of Jesus.

  Preeminent - Verse Mapping - Colossians 1:18 23.07.2026 7p

  Sometimes being “first” comes with pressure or pride, but we're reminded in Colossians 1:18 that Jesus holds the true first place... not because He chased status, but because He laid His life down and rose again for us. His love and sovereignty makes it easier for us to follow Him with trust, knowing the One who is preeminent is also the One who serves and loves us first.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3TkL188 We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.
