Some Assembly Required

Speaker: Gavin Adams
Length: 3 Parts

"Some assembly required.” Quite possibly the worst three words in the retail language. But what about the church? The apostle Paul calls the church a body, not a building. We constantly hear it’s about a “personal relationship with Jesus.” So, is some assembly required? In this series, we unpack the history of the church gathering, evaluate if gatherings are even necessary, and decide what the church is for.

The Abundant Life

Speaker: Bryan Apinis
Length: 2 Parts

Jesus once told his followers that he longed for them to have not just life, but abundant life—things like joy, peace, hope, belonging, purpose, freedom, and more. But if we’re honest, a lot of times we ask ourselves: where is all that stuff?

While the abundant life awaits us in eternity, there are opportunities for us to experience it in the here and now. But it takes going over a bridge that we don’t always want to cross.

The Letter of James: Real Faith Works

Speaker: Joel Thomas
Length: 3 Parts

Faith isn’t just what you believe—it’s how you live. In this three-part study through the letter of James, we’ll explore what it means to have a faith that actually works: one that shows up in how we face trials, resist temptation, treat others, speak truthfully, and make wise choices. James wrote to believers who were scattered, struggling, and wondering if following Jesus was still worth it. His letter is bold, direct, and deeply practical—a call to live out what we say we believe, even when life doesn’t feel fair or easy.

The letter of James isn’t about spiritual performance. It’s about perseverance, obedience, and trust. And it's about discovering that some of God’s deepest work in us happens when we choose to put our faith into action. Because real faith doesn’t just sit still. Real faith works.

These three prayers can shape our relationship with God and become a defense against drift. They will shape who we are and can inform the choices we make in life.

You’re Not Far

Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 8 Parts

For several decades after Jesus's death and resurrection, Peter told others about all of the firsthand experiences he had with Jesus.
