To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayMatthew 6:19–34 - Free to TrustIn this well-known section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus confronts our deepest anxieties by reordering our loves. Rather than commanding us to stop worrying through sheer willpower, He invites us into freedom by fixing our hearts on God as our true Treasure and trusting Him as our faithful Father.This episode explores how misplaced treasure leads to divided hearts and restless lives, while seeking first God’s kingdom produces peace, clarity, and joy. Jesus’ words may sting at first—but like all true love, they cut in order to heal.

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayMatthew 5:13–20, 43–48 - Living What We AreIn this passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls His people to live out the righteous new nature they’ve been given as children of God. We are salt and light, called to a righteousness that goes deeper than rule-keeping and extends even to loving our enemies.This lesson explores how Christian obedience flows not from pretending to be something we’re not, but from living in alignment with who God has already declared us to be. Like Morpheus training Neo, Jesus doesn’t say “try harder,” but “know who you are” - and live accordingly. T...

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayDeuteronomy 33:1–5, 24–33 — Blessed to BelongIn Moses’ final words to Israel, we don’t hear correction or warning, but blessing. Deuteronomy 33 invites us to rejoice in the often-quiet miracle of belonging to the Lord. This heart-aimed lesson helps us slow down and savor our blessedness as God’s people - an intellectual and spiritual equivalent of leftovers - reminding us that there is deep joy in remembering who we are and whose we are.

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayNumbers 33: No Fleshly ProvisionGod recounts Israel's relentless march through 42 camps, leading them directly to the cusp of their inheritance. But before they cross, He lays down the ultimate ultimatum: Drive out every inhabitant. Demolish every idol. Give no quarter. Because if you don't achieve total destruction or total change, those left behind will become the thorns in your side and the pricks in your eyes, and God will do to you what He planned for them. This is the unvarnished truth of God's demand for absolute holiness.

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayThe Serious Business of Joy: Finding Strength in DelightIn this episode, we explore joy not as a fleeting feeling but as the foundational posture of the Christian life. Drawing from Scripture, George Müller, C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, and even a touch of Meatloaf, this reflection reminds us that “the joy of the Lord is our strength.” Joy is not a luxury — it’s a discipline, a daily choice to delight in God through His Word and to pursue happiness that overflows to others. From laughter in hardship to small, intentional moments of delight, discover how cultivating joy nourishes the soul and strengthens faith.

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayNumbers 20:1-13 - Holy in the Moment This week we walk into a tense, pivotal moment in the wilderness: Israel is thirsty, tempers flare, and Moses - overwhelmed - acts in a way that fails to treat God as holy. Numbers 20:1-13 forces us to ask: how do we honor God when we’re tired, pressed, or provoked? The passage reminds leaders and laypeople alike that reverence for God must shape our words and actions in every circumstance.Big idea: to treat God as holy in all circumstances - our worship, our obedience, and our leadership should reflect God’s holiness even when life is m...

Ten return with fear, two with faith — and the nation wavers on the edge of God’s gift. The story is about more than scouting land; it’s about how we see God, ourselves, and the future He has prepared.Big idea: to walk by faith into God’s promises with shrewd strategy and neighbor-inspiring love because of our fond fixation on Jesus Messiah.Together we’ll wrestle with the tension between fear and faith, realism and hope, strategy a...

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayNumbers 11: 1-15 - Bigger God, Smaller ComplaintsThis week we dig into Numbers 11:1–15 — a raw, honest snapshot of Israel’s tendency to grumble and Moses’ crushing leadership burden. The passage pulls no punches: people complain, leaders ache, and the moment forces us to ask whether our default is complaint or contentment.Big idea: exercise contentment instead of complaint because the more we see how big God is, the smaller our complaints become. Read the whole chapter if you can for context (there’s more to the story), but we’ll focus on the dynamics of complaint, the weight of leadership, and how seeing God larger shape...

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayPsalm 42-43: Thirsting for God, Resting in HopeIn Psalms 42 and 43, we hear the cry of a soul in exile—thirsting for God’s presence, weighed down by inner turmoil, and mocked by enemies who sneer, “Where is your God?” Yet woven into the lament is a refrain of hope: “Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.”This episode explores the psalmist’s honest struggle with despair, the deep longing for God’s sanctuary, and the decision to trust Him in the waiting. These ancient words still speak powerfully to us today, reminding us that even in seasons of sp...

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out todayPsalm 19: The Heavens Declare - Aligning with God's WordPsalm 19 calls us to see the grandeur of God revealed in two powerful ways: through the vastness of creation and the clarity of His Word. In this episode, we reflect on how the skies proclaim God's glory and how Scripture transforms our hearts—inviting us to align our lives with His law by grace through faith in Jesus the Messiah. With connections to Romans 1, the forgiveness of Stephen in Acts 7, and even a leaf in Bluey’s “Born Yesterday,” we explore how awe leads to obedience and how wonder births worship.

To Be Helpful: Biblical truth, lived out today 2025 May 20 2 Peter 2:3, pt. 2In this continuation of our journey through 2 Peter 2, we take a deeper look at the false teachers Peter warns about—those who exploit with deceptive words, pursue greed, and bring swift destruction upon themselves and others.

This episode invites reflection on what deception looks like today, how to spot it, and how to remain rooted in truth and grace.
