Gabe Hartfield, Libby VanSolkema, Stephanie Teslaa, Tryg VekerWe sit down with former Crossroads Pastor and church planter Gabe Hartfield (Visible Church) to discuss this Sunday's sermon. Is it possible that God's voice more often leads us into mystery than into safety? In this episode, we unpack Elisha’s radical response to God’s call—leaving behind wealth, family, and stability in a dramatic act of irreversible obedience. We reflect on Elijah’s fear in 1 Kings 19 and how God gently redirected him rather than rebuking him. Elisha doesn’t just recognize God’s call—he runs after it, burns his plows, and refuses to leave a path back. Gabe sha...

The PostEcclesiastes Final: Cattle ProdsIn this episode Gabe wraps up our series on Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes 12 is more of an epilogue. It explains that the words of the wise are like cattle prods; painful but helpful.
2024-05-1424 minThe PostEcclesiastes 11:4-6 - Mike WozniakWhat’s your idea of a day with perfect weather? Ecclesiastes says that farmers who wait for the perfect will never plant or harvest anything. In the same way we often wait for circumstances to be perfect before we do anything. But guest speaker, Mike Wozniak, shares his story of how God challenges us to take steps in faith even when circumstances are not perfect. Join the conversation!
2024-05-0628 minThe PostEcclesiastes 11:7-12:1 - Nathan EnglishAs we approach the end of Ecclesiastes, the author challenges us to think about the end. He brings up the grim reality that age and death come for us all. But instead of fearing the end, the author encourages us to consider how focusing on the end of our lives can inform the way we live today. Join the conversation as our very own, Nathan English invites us to consider these challenging realities in light of the gospel.
2024-04-2235 minThe PostEcclesiastes 11:1-3 - DirectionThe great Solomon wrote a proverb which says, “Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.” While this seems overly simplistic and obvious, it carries profound truths about the power of our choices. While we understand it with trees, that whichever direction a tree is leaning it will fall, we often fail to see how the same principle applies to our choices. We think we can make choices that head in one direction and magically get to another destination. Our choices actually have consequences.
2024-04-1631 minThe PostEcclesiastes 9 - Responsibility in a world of RandomnessMany people say things like, “Everything happens for a reason.” Yet, Ecclesiastes critiques conventional wisdom by saying, “The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong… but time and chance happen to them all.” This gets us to ask ourselves if life is random? But then the author tells the story of a poor man who lived in a small town, and though he had disadvantages he used his wisdom to save his city. This story suggests that although life can be random and we can have disadvantages, it is still wise to take responsibility. The trick...
2024-04-1631 minThe PostEcclesiastes 7 - TemperanceIn this episode, we cover a few topics from Ecclesiastes 7, which talks about not being overly righteous and wise nor overly wicked and foolish. But instead he suggests temperance, balance, and enjoying your life. It also says not to eavesdrop. We don’t want to be defined by our worst moments so don’t define others by their worst moments either.
2024-03-2129 minThe PostEcclesiastes 5 & 6: Hailey Smith & Christina WelchIn this episode, we cover the end of Ecclesiastes 5 and beginning of 6. Both chapters deal with how we put so much into pursuing our desires and appetites, but all these things leave us empty. We always find ourselves craving MORE, but when Christ is ENOUGH everything else is just EXTRA. Join the conversation!
2024-03-1430 minThe PostEcclesiastes 5: Taylor VanSolkemaIn this episode, we talk about Ecclesiastes 5, which talks about approaching the Lord, with reverence and being careful with our words. The author cautions us to be careful not to make rash promises.
2024-03-1121 minThe PostEcclesiastes 3-4: Reece & NoahIn this episode Reece shares on Ecclesiastes 3 and how there is a time and season for everything. He also talks about what does it look like to be content in a season, when to change seasons, and ultimately to look to God in every season. Afterwards, Noah shares about Ecclesiastes 4 and the need for community. He also talks about how loneliness and how community is a way we experience God’s love.
2024-02-2250 minThe Locker RoomEp. 32 - Cutting Edge Faith: Navigating Circumcision in Genesis 17 ft. Gabe Hartfield, Libby VanSolkema, Rod VanSolkema, Tryg VekerWe explore Genesis 17 and talk about the covenant mark of circumcision. What did this mean for the family of Abraham and the nation of Israel? We also explore how our faith is often marked by moments of suffering and wounding; and how when those wounds are redeemed they can be used to heal others.
2024-02-201h 22The PostEcclesiastes 1 & 2In this episode, Gabe introduces the book of Ecclesiastes, its major themes, and how it differs from Proverbs. Also, we dig into Ecclesiastes chapter 2 lists several substitute-saviors. We try to find our significance in things like stuff, success, relationships, money, and more. One of the primary ways adults try to find significance is work. But the author of Ecclesiastes critiques all these ways we try to find significance including work and concludes they will all leave us empty. Is there something or someone that could fully satisfy our desire for significance?
2024-02-1931 minThe PostAppetitesIn this episode we explore the power of our appetites. Proverbs 27:7 says, “One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.” Then we look at the story of when Esau was so hungry that he trades his birth rite for a bowl of stew. When your appetites flare up what are you tempted to trade?
2024-02-0817 minThe Locker RoomEp. 25 - Singleness, Marriage, and the Gift of Friendship ft. Nathan English, Gabe Hartfield, Quinn Humphrey, Tryg Veker | The Locker RoomWe sit down with Crossroads Bible Church College and Young Adult Pastors Gabe Hartfield and Nathan English to talk about wrestling through all types of relationships in light of our faith and a desire to honor God. What are current challenges we face relationally and what place do concepts like singleness, dating, marriage and friendship have in our walk with Christ?
2024-01-241h 17The PostDating - Song of Songs 2Have you ever thought about how to date? In this episode Gabe wraps out conversation on relationships. He talks about Stages of Dating, Catching the “Little Foxes”, and not awakening love until it’s time. Join the conversation.
2023-12-2035 minThe PostSinglenessIn this episode we hear from a guest speaker, Noel Delgadillo. Noel works for a local college ministry called UCO. Part of Noel’s story is that several years ago he took a vow of celibacy. Listen as he shares his story and thoughts to consider about a life devoted to the Lord in singleness.
2023-12-1925 minThe PostStephanie and Mark Teslaa (guest speakers)In this episode Stephanie and Mark share about God’s vision for marriage, how to prepare yourself for marriage (if that’s what God calls you to), and guidelines for dating. Stephanie is an author, licensed counselor, and oversees marriage ministries at Crossroads Bible Church.
2023-12-0743 minThe PostLaurie Krieg (Guest Speaker)As we go through out series on Relationships we hear from a guest speaker, Laurie Krieg. Laurie is the author of “Impossible Marriage”. She shares insights from her own journey, practical wisdom, and how to build bridges to the LGBT community while still holding to a historically Christian view of marriage. Whether you agree or disagree with some of the thoughts share, we believe this is a relevant topic for young adults, and hope you join us in this thought provoking conversation.
2023-11-211h 00The PostExpectations - Song of Songs 4-5In this episode we study Song of Songs 4 & 5. We continue our study on the life of Solomon and wisdom literature, but now we turn our attention to the subject of wisdom in relationships. Song of Songs chapter 4 is more about how the physical matters; where as, chapter 5 is about navigating unmet expectations.
2023-11-1339 minThe PostCorrection and ResponsibilityThis episode discusses the concept of correction in Proverbs. Correction can come in various forms, yet we choose how to respond to correction. There are parallels with the story of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, in 1 Kings 12 and the significance receiving advice and making wise decisions. When corrected, there are several ways we try to abdicate responsibility: excusing, blaming, using spiritual and mental health language, and more. Join the conversation.
2023-11-0137 minThe PostGuard Your HeartIn this episode we talk about the famous verse Proverbs 4:23 which talks about guarding your heart. However, the author of Proverbs, Solomon, didn’t seem to do a very good job guarding his heart. Which begs the question: if the author of this Proverb couldn’t even guard his own heart then what makes us think we can? Is it possible to guard your heart? And if so how? Join the conversation.
2023-10-2734 minThe Locker RoomEp. 9 - Genesis 2:15-17 & the role of a Priest - ft. Gabe Hartfield, Libby VanSolkema, Tryg Veker | The Locker RoomWe sit down with Crossroads Young Adults Pastor Gabe Hartfield and talk about Genesis, the role of a Priest, the priesthood of all believers, and how to cultivate our lives to reflect our status as Priests.
2023-10-271h 02The PostWisdom and MoneyIn this episode, we hear a message from guest speaker Clarence Stamps. Clarence continues our series on Proverbs and talks about wisdom and money. He then connects this topic to 2 Corinthians 8:9 which explains how Christ became poor so that we might become rich. Join the conversation.
Clarence is the preaching Pastor at Indwelling Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For more information or to learn about his church visit: http://indwelling.org.
2023-10-2635 minThe PostTactics of PersuasionThis message is about the importance of being flexible and open to change in our lives, particularly in relation to God's plans for us. We dive into the story of Balaam and King Balak from the book of Numbers in the Bible to illustrate how we should stay committed to following God's word, even when faced with pressure or temptation. The message also emphasizes the significance of community and the need to stand firm on God's word in a world filled with different messages and distractions.
