If there’s one thing we all share, it’s the reality that one day we’ll say goodbye to someone we love. Loss touches each of us in some form—but how do we walk through it? Grief often leaves us at our most vulnerable, flooded with emotion. Even the most emotionally grounded individuals can find themselves reacting in ways that feel out of character—pushing people away or retreating into isolation.But what if there’s a better way? What if the gospel offers a more communal, redemptive path through grief?Join us for this week’s episode as we explore how faith can shape our experience of loss, and what it means to grieve together rather than alone.

Is there anything wrong with using technology to enhance human life? What are the promises and perils of human enhancement? Join us as we wrestle with these questions.

The Problem with Progress
In a culture obsessed with hustle, achievement, and endless self-improvement, it’s easy to get caught in the exhausting pursuit of keeping up with the Joneses. But is this really the path to peace and meaning?In this episode, Andy, Steve, and Ben discuss "The Problem with Progress"—how the modern world defines our worth by what we do, what we build, or what we become. In contrast, the biblical worldview begins not with striving, but with surrender. Jesus' words on the cross—"It is finished"—offer a radical alternative to the achievement-driven mindset of our age.Join us as we unpack the deep implications of grace in a performance-obsessed culture, and ask: What if worship, not progress, is the foundation of our identity?
