Grab the FaithSeason 9: Episode 10- Soul Matters (Livestream)Send us a textA story so short it fits in your pocket, yet it turns our sense of value upside down. We open Luke 15:1–7 and sit with the scandalous love of a Shepherd who leaves ninety-nine to find one, who lifts the weary onto his shoulders, and who turns recovery into a neighborhood celebration. No scolding, no ledger, just relentless pursuit and shared joy that sounds a lot like heaven.If you’ve wandered for days or decades, hear this: the search does not stop. If you feel secure among the ninety-nine, you’re safe e...

We go there with Psalm 31 and let David show us how to live honestly in the tension—naming pain without pretending and trusting God without numbing.We start with the emotional drop that follows celebration and move into David’s raw inventory of grief, loneliness, and exhaustion.

We open Psalm 34 and find David praising after trouble, not before it, showing us a path to real deliverance, steady joy, and a refuge that holds when plans fall apart. When you’ve done all you can, seeking the Lord is not a last resort—it’s first wisdom. We also get real about the week ahead: some will feast, some will grieve, some will feel alone. The good news is that sufficiency is not a s...

We open with Genesis 3 and confront a familiar tug: the urge to know, to control, to push past God’s guardrails in the name of getting all the answers. We share the “three P’s” we’ve been exploring—position, power, and pride—and zoom in on power as the quiet prompting to be “like God" rears up in Eve. That desire manifests in subtle ways: seeking outcomes without obedience, pursuing certainty over wisdom, and treating boundaries as cages rather than a source of...
