#050: Episode 050 Is Here! (Still No Video)
This week on The Journey, we explored the transformative power of genuine conversation and liturgical practices in our spiritual formation. We discussed how podcasting and long-form conversations help us understand others more deeply, even when we disagree, and examined the profound symbolism of the candlelight service—a liturgical way of proclaiming that Christ, born at Christmas, is the light who enters and overcomes the world’s darkness. The conversation reminded us that whether through structured liturgy or personal spiritual disciplines, we are all creatures of habit seeking to encounter God through meaningful practices.Takeaways:* Conversations Buil...

#049: The Ruthless Elimination of Context
This week on The Journey, we explored the balance between two seemingly opposing ideas - the call to work diligently and pursue our God-given purposes versus the need to slow down and eliminate unhealthy hurry from our lives. The key insight is that both perspectives have merit depending on our season of life and context. The biblical pattern of working six days and resting one isn’t meant to be replaced by either constant busyness or perpetual rest. Rather, we’re called to work hard at what God has uniquely positioned us to do while also being wise about dist...

#048: Every Moment For Spiritual Growth
This week on The Journey, we explored how we often limit spiritual growth to traditional disciplines like morning quiet times and Bible study, when God actually uses every circumstance—especially marriage, parenting, and daily responsibilities—as vehicles for our sanctification. Drawing a little bit from Gary Thomas’s book Sacred Marriage, we examined how the messiness and sacrifice of everyday life can be just as spiritually formative as structured devotional time, challenging us to recognize God’s work in all contexts and seasons.Takeaways:* Spiritual growth happens in context, not just in quiet times. Whether you’re s...

#047: Ridgecrest Legacies
This week on The Journey, we took some time to explore the remarkable journey of Ridgecrest Baptist Church through the eyes of someone who has witnessed decades of faithful ministry. From the old sanctuary with its eight-foot ceilings and supporting poles to our current worship center, from traditional committee structures to our current staff-led model, we traced how God has been faithful through every season. More importantly, we discussed how authentic Christian community happens in both large gatherings and smaller, intentional groups—and how the role of servant leadership continues to shape our church’s health and vitality.Ke...

#046: Redemption & Responsibility
This week on The Journey, we welcome Mitch Lucky to the show to help us explore the reality of being a witness for Christ outside the church walls, particularly in secular workplaces where people knew us before our transformation in Christ. Mitch shared his compelling story of how God has used his past struggles and current faithfulness to open doors for ministry among coworkers who watched him change. There’s a tension between our desire to share Christ and our fear of being seen as hypocritical by those who knew us “before.” But ultimately, we were reminded that God calls...

#045: To Preach or Not to Preach
This week on The Journey, we explored the tension between feeling called by God and feeling equipped for that calling. We encourage each other (sorta) to step out in faith, even when we’re uncertain, trusting that the Holy Spirit works through our obedience rather than our perfection.Takeaways:* Obedience over comfort: God often calls us to serve in ways that stretch us beyond our comfort zones. Our willingness to say “yes” matters more than our perceived readiness.* Community discipleship takes many forms: We don’t all have to teach from a stage to make...

#044: What's Worth Your Time?
This week on The Journey, we returned from our staff retreat with a wide-ranging discussion that touched on something we all face daily: how do we discern what content is worth our time and attention? What started as a conversation about A.W. Tozer’s book turned into a deeper exploration of creativity, storytelling, and the importance of being careful about what we allow to shape our thinking.Takeaways:* Content matters more than the author’s reputation. While we may be drawn to books or podcasts by certain names, what ultimately matters is whether the cont...

#043: Reclaiming Restoration: The Journey Can Be Messy
This week on The Journey, we explored the tension between extending grace to those struggling and enabling destructive patterns. We discussed how the church often falls into two camps—those who emphasize repentance without restoration, and those who walk alongside people through the messy journey of redemption. The discussion challenged us to consider: How long do we help someone before we’re simply enabling them? How do we balance Christ-like compassion with healthy boundaries? And why does vulnerability remain so difficult in many church circles, particularly in Southern Baptist culture?Key Takeaways:* Restoration is messy and...

This week on The Journey, we explored the challenges we face in discerning truth amidst the prevalence of conspiracy theories. We discussed the importance of biblical wisdom in evaluating information, the dangers of uncritically accepting sensationalized claims, and the need for Christians to be grounded in God’s truth rather than speculative theories.Takeaways:* Be discerning: Not everything we read or hear, especially on social media, is true. We must carefully evaluate information and its sources.* Seek evidence: Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, we should eagerly listen but also search the Scriptures and se...

The discussion emphasized that salvation is not the endpoint, but rather the beginning of a lifelong journey with God.Takeaways:* True faith in Christ requires a complete reorientation of our lives, which is challenging but ultimately rewarding.* Many people, both inside...

These changes have implications for how we approach ministry and engage with younger members of our congregation.Takeaways:* Authenticity is key: Gen Z values genuine, transparent faith expressions over polished performances.* Depth over hype: There's a growing interest in deeper theological content and more contemplative worship...
