On today's episode, I sit down with special guest Matt Braaten and have a down to earth conversation about following Jesus in the monotony of every day life. We talk about Matt's first experiences with church in rural Connecticut, his understanding of discipleship, and his growing passion for following Jesus through intentional spiritual practices. Matt is a deep well of wisdom, and it was a pleasure to chat with him in this episode. Enjoy!

Relationships can be difficult. And though modern culture promotes removing anyone from our lives that we determine “toxic” or “narcissistic”, Jesus calls us to deal with difficult relationships differently. So what do we do? What if someone is a bit "toxic"? What if someone is smothering, or critical? For married folks: what boundaries are necessary to protect a marriage? Can spouses have friends of the opposite sex? How do we know when a boundary is necessary, and what should that look like?Listen in today as Adam has a conversation with his wife Hali Winter about the importance of having boundaries in general relationships & married relationships.

This episode is "Part 2" of this conversation surrounding porn & sexual sin. Last time, we talked about the magnitude of the problem, and today is all abut the solution. Thankfully, Jesus doesn't call us to figure things out on our own, but gives us a clear path out of bondage to sexual sin. The cost is high, but the freedom on the other side is so worth it.Video teaching: https://youtu.be/b2pBZ8c7BhA

It's time for Wednesday Word, but this one feels more like a regular episode to us. Doubt notoriously gets a bad rap in most church circles, but what if it can actually be a gateway to a deeper faith? If doubt is a normal part of life with God, how should it look? How do we deal with it? Listen in to today's episode for hope & practical ways to respond to the doubt in your own life.

On today's episode, we pull no punches. This one is candid. We'll talk about everything from the growing problem of porn, the shame that accompanies it, and have an honest chat about that squeamish word masturbation. In a hyper-sexualized culture that has deeply impacted the church, we need to talk about sexual sin, and find hope for change as we look to Jesus.

On the next installment of Wednesday Word, we dig into Mark 2. Around every corner, it seems that there's another vexed Pharisee confused by the actions of Jesus. What was it about him that was causing such bewilderment? What can we learn from Jesus in how he interacted with the sinners and tax collectors of his day?

On this week's Wednesday Word, we chat about Matthew 24. As Jesus gets closer to the cross, he warns his disciples of some things to come, and encourages both them and us to stay alert as we anticipate his return.

Considering the recent LGBT positive clothing line made available for children, should Christians boycott Target? How does Christian liberty impact the conversation? And how do we think through the moral "gray areas" of Scripture, and interact with others that might have a different conviction? Listen in today as Adam, Matt & Ryan engage this culturally sensitive topic together.

Wednesday Word is back as we dive into Matthew 17. Listen in to the conversation as we discuss what to make of the transfiguration, how to recover a vibrant faith that has become stale or rote, and field a few cheeky questions from Ryan.

Listen in to our first Wednesday Word! Every week, we're digging into our 90-day journey through the gospels a little more deeply on Wednesdays, and today we'll talk about what Jesus meant when he announced the arrival of a Kingdom, what persecution is/what persecution isn't, and what it looks like to be "wise as serpents, but innocent as doves"(Matthew. 10:16).
