Why Should I Trust God? 38:55

1d ago38:55

38:55

Trust. It’s such a simple word yet carries profound weight. Who do you trust completely? Maybe you struggle to answer that question, especially if life has taught you that trust can be broken by those closest to you—friends, family, colleagues, or even yourself. But what about God? If He asked, “Do you trust me?” how would you respond? The truth is…

"Nosferatu" 43:14

43:14

Happy new year! We ring in 2025 by reviewing podcast favorite filmmaker Robert Eggers' latest historical horror: his grim vision of the vampire classic, Nosferatu. We talk vampires, Dracula, and Eggers' slavish devotion to granular detail. Does it continue his streak of bracing period terror, or is it more of a hindrance this time around? Tune in a…

What will define you in the coming year? As we wrap up 2024 and look forward to 2025, Pastor Jeff Maness challenges us, individually and as a church, to intentionally make a part of our new year and really, a part of our lives forever, three take-aways from Psalm 29.

28:21

In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Jeff Maness walks us through the Christmas story from an angle you may have never seen before.

The Message From The Manger: Servant to All 31:27

16d ago31:27

31:27

The message of Good News the angels brought the shepherds was that a new King had arrived—and who had He arrived for? Luke 2:10 says it is for ALL people! It’s a message, screaming from the manger, that Christ came into the world not to be served, but to serve others—all others. This message of Good News had no limits. It was a message of service t…

Another exploration of director Sean Baker's working class milieus, this story of a fiery stripper who falls in with an immature son of Russian oligarch is a barnburner showcase for Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, and Yura Borisov.

"The Beast" 46:29

23d ago46:29

46:29

For better or worse, Bertrand Bonello's The Beast is one of the most memorable movies of 2024. A discombobulating sci-fi trip through time that stars Lea Seydoux and George Mackay, it explodes the kernel of loneliness at the center of Henry James' 1903 novella - The Beast in the Jungle - into something much more...perplexing.…

The Message From The Manger: Strength in Submission 34:12

23d ago34:12

34:12

At Christmas we celebrate that our omnipresent God entered into space and time as a baby. The Creator – who spoke the world into existence with the breath of His mouth – becomes part of His own creation. The all-powerful, sovereign, and in-control God becomes a helpless child with no control or ability at all, completely dependent on beings He crea…

The Message From The Manger: God is in Control 27:25

30d ago27:25

27:25

This Message From The Manger is a message of sovereignty. Sovereignty means supreme power or authority. In theological terms, it refers to God’s absolute authority and control over all creation. God is never out of control, lacking control, or needing to take control. At all times – and through all things – God has ultimate power and authority over…

Reframing Rest: What Does Jesus Think About the Sabbath? 11:07

1M ago11:07

11:07

In the series Reframing Rest, we’ve learned that the Sabbath is a rhythm, rooted in creation. A reminder of how God rescued us from our slavery to sin, and a gift that God gives us every single week to enjoy for our good. We learned that we stop on the Sabbath to reveal our trust in God, refuel us for the work of God, and refocus us on what we have…

This week we review Edward Berger's Conclave, a papal conspiracy thriller in the guise of a serious business, hiding a goofed-up B-movie underneath.

Reframing Rest: A Sabbath Framework 35:52

Sabbath is not an obligation—it is an invitation. An opportunity to receive a gift from God every single week. Yes, it is in the law of God as the fourth of the Ten Commandments, but Sabbath is not just law—it is life. It is a blessing, not a burden. So how do we do this Sabbath practice? There is no formula to make the Sabbath work for you, but th…

While there is an abundance of historical, psychological, physical, and even scientific and medical evidence of the benefits of taking one day off each week to completely rest, the vast majority of people—especially in our modern Western world—fight against this rhythm that God rooted into creation. We're like three-year-olds fighting a nap—knowing…

This week we review Pascal Plante's Red Rooms, an under-the-radar indie that's taken the horrorsphere by storm. A serial killer thriller that finds power in its restraint and shocking prescience, Red Rooms is an evil — yet vital — film to understand the stranglehold of postmodern, screen-abetted detachment.
