  • The Kingdom Collision That Happened In Mark 15 | #86

    The Kingdom Collision That Happened In Mark 15 | #86
    Jun 9 2026
    In Mark 15:1–20, Jesus stands before Pilate, accused, mocked, and handed over. Pilate knows what’s happening, but still caves because he wishes to satisfy the crowd. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon discuss Barabbas going free, Jesus being mocked, and how envy and people-pleasing build rival kingdoms that always end in death. Mark 15 is a chasm where the “kingdom collision” becomes unavoidable, and how it's a picture of how the Kingdom wins: not through force, but through cruciform love.

  • From Denial to Pentecost: How the Spirit Rebuilds a Broken Disciple (Mark 14) | #85

    From Denial to Pentecost: How the Spirit Rebuilds a Broken Disciple (Mark 14) | #85
    Jun 2 2026
    In Mark 14:66–72, Peter denies Jesus three times, not in front of a king or a soldier, but in front of a servant girl. The denials escalate, the fear takes over, and when the rooster crows, Peter collapses and weeps bitterly. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon break down why Peter’s denial exposes how fragile human willpower really is, and why the hope isn’t Peter’s resolve, it’s Jesus quietly obeying the Father all the way to the cross.

  • The Trial That Changed History: How They Condemned God in the Flesh (Mark 14)

    The Trial That Changed History: How They Condemned God in the Flesh (Mark 14)
    May 26 2026
    In Mark 14:53–65, Zach, Jill and Brandon break down when Jesus stood before the high priest and the full council. Witnesses can’t keep their stories straight. They twist His words about the temple. And Jesus stays silent, until this question: "Are You The Christ?" Jesus answers, “I am.” And then He ties together the deepest threads of Scripture, Daniel 7’s Son of Man, Psalm 110’s “right hand of Power,” and the reality of who He truly is.

  • Christ Alone: Why Following People Will Never Work (Mark 14) | #83

    Christ Alone: Why Following People Will Never Work (Mark 14) | #83
    May 19 2026
    Right after the Lord’s Supper and Gethsemane, the betrayal happens and it’s bigger than most people imagine. In Mark 14:43–52, Judas arrives with a crowd carrying swords and clubs. His “sign” isn’t a weapon, it’s a kiss. Peter responds as the kingdoms of this world do: he draws his sword. And then, when things get real, everyone runs. In this episode, Zach and Jill unpack how both betrayals: Judas’ cynical kiss and Peter’s zealous violence, miss the way of the Kingdom. In the end, Christ is the only one left standing, and He walks the road to the cross alone. Not because the plan failed, but because this is how salvation is accomplished.

  • Too Young To Get Married?! The Power of The Marriage Covenant | #82

    Too Young To Get Married?! The Power of The Marriage Covenant | #82
    May 12 2026
    Max and Annabel are in town, and it’s wedding week! In this conversation, Zach and Jill sit down with them to talk about what it actually feels like to step into a lifelong covenant at 19 and 20, why modern culture discourages marriage, and why they believe covenant is still one of the most beautiful, grounding gifts God gave humanity. It’s funny, honest, and deeply hopeful: especially for young couples trying to build something real in a culture that keeps people perpetually “uncommitted.”

  • “We Don’t Talk About That”: How Jesus Heals Secrets and Shame | #81

    “We Don’t Talk About That”: How Jesus Heals Secrets and Shame | #81
    May 5 2026
    A break from the usual, Zach and Jill sit down with two of their longtime mentors and friends, Mac and Mary Owens (Global Directors of Celebrate Recovery). It’s a raw, powerful conversation about the cost of secrecy, the freedom of confession, and how God can take the darkest parts of a story and turn them into the DNA of a movement that blesses generations. If you’re stuck in the shame cycle, hiding, or convinced you’re too far gone, this episode is a reminder that the gospel runs straight toward the broken, and healing begins when you step into the light.

  • The Cross Wasn’t Plan B: Why Satan Was Scared (Mark 14) | #80

    The Cross Wasn’t Plan B: Why Satan Was Scared (Mark 14) | #80
    Apr 28 2026
    Today Zach & Jill visit one of the most human, and most holy, moments in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 14:26–42, Jesus leaves the table, returns to the Mount of Olives, and enters Gethsemane. He tells the disciples they will all fall away. Peter insists he never will. And then Jesus does the unthinkable: He falls to the ground and prays for the cup to pass, while choosing the Father’s will anyway.

  • The Meal That Makes Us: Why Communion Should Be The Center of The Church Gathering | #79

    The Meal That Makes Us: Why Communion Should Be The Center of The Church Gathering | #79
    Apr 21 2026
    Brandon’s back, just in time for one of the most important meals in Scripture where Jesus sits down with the disciples for Passover. Zach, Jill, and Brandon discuss why meals are everywhere in the Bible (from Eden to Exodus to the King’s table), and why communion isn’t just a “symbol” or a routine, it’s a weekly entrance into the story that forms our loves, confronts our pride, and binds us to one another as the body of Christ.
