In this episode our very own Maran breaks down what it means to fast!!

In this episode, we revisit the story of the golden calf in Exodus 32:1–6—a passage many of us have heard but rarely stop to examine closely. Why did the Israelites choose a cow? What does the difference between “big G” God and “little g” gods reveal about their hearts…and ours? We unpack the roots of their idolatry, explore how old habits and old gods can creep back into our lives, and look at why we can’t worship God while holding onto substitutes from our past. Through scripture, context, and relatable stories, this episode invites you to reflect on the idols we build and the God who calls us back to Him.

In this episode, we explore how idolatry isn’t just about ancient statues—it’s anything that takes the place of God in our hearts. Using the story of the golden calf in Exodus 32, we see how the Israelites took the very gifts God gave them and turned them into an idol, a pattern the enemy still uses today.

We talk about three modern idols: ourselves, other people, and our possessions. Each of these can quietly take God’s place if we’re not careful.

The episode closes with simple, practical steps: thank God for your abilities, talk to Him throughout your day instead of relying on others to satisfy you, and set limits on things that distract you. And for those who haven’t made God first, we offer an invitation to turn to Him—the only One who truly satisfies.

In this weeks episode William dives into what it means to have a hard heart. What it means to have a hard heart and how to avoid it.

In this episode, Cole continues his series on the habits we should live with. This week’s focus is on the power of Scripture memorization. Drawing from Matthew 4, Cole highlights how Jesus used God’s Word to stand firm against temptation—and how we can do the same. When we store Scripture in our hearts, we’re prepared for whatever the enemy throws our way.

Welcome to Habits, a six-week journey designed to help you grow deeper in your faith by building life-giving practices and letting go of distractions that hold you back. Each week we’ll introduce one new habit to cultivate, and one thing to give up, so that by the end of this series, your life looks different than it does today.

In Week 1, we dive into the foundation of all habits—prayer. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5, Philippians 4, and James 5, we’ll explore what it means to pray continuously: giving thanks, surrendering our worries, and asking God for direction throughout the day. This isn’t about rigid routines—it’s about weaving prayer into the fabric of daily life.

As part of the practice, we’ll also challenge ourselves to step away from social media or streaming, replacing that time with moments of connection with God. It’s not about going through the motions, but about pursuing the bigger goal: becoming more like Jesus and reaping the harvest of a faithful life (Galatians 6:9).

Tune in, take the challenge, and join us on the path of transformation.

In this week’s teaching, we look at Acts 6–8 and explored the real cost of following Jesus. The early believers faced persecution, imprisonment, and even death, like Stephen in Acts 7. They understood something many of us forget: following Jesus isn’t about us—it comes at a price.

We talk about how faith isn’t just adding a new habit or small tweak to life. It often requires sacrifice—giving up comfort, relationships, or even our plans—because the Kingdom is worth it. Like the early church, we’re called to count the cost and decide: What are we truly willing to give up for Jesus?
