  • Guard the Truth (2016)
    29 Oct 2026
    The farther we grow with Christ, the more we understand the depths of the Gospel, at the center of which is love. It is a truth that we must guard fiercely. First, we should seek a vision of divine love the way it is practiced among the Trinity. Second, brokenness over failure to love is the opportunity to learn what love and grace are. And third, we should avert our focus from our smaller story to the larger story that God is telling. As we move toward and experience these truths, we come to understand the truth of grace more deeply. Speaker: Larry Crabb

  • The Christian Devotional Life (2018)
    15 Oct 2026
    Ben Foust makes the case that the devotional life isn’t an obligation to dread or a ritual to check off — it’s a secret life with God that functions as the foundation for everything else. Drawing on the rhythm of Jesus himself, he reframes alone time with God as the place you launch out from and always return to. Speaker: Ben Foust

  • The Lost Virtue of Gratitude (2019)
    1 Oct 2026
    Biblical gratitude is closely related to understanding God's righteousness and His grace. God desires us to be thankful because it leads to many benefits for us. Science shows that gratitude impacts our emotional, physical and relational health. God however will not make us more grateful; it is our role to cultivate gratitude. Speaker: James Rochford

  • Listening (2015)
    17 Sep 2026
    Lee Campbell makes the case that listening is a skill leaders have to develop on purpose — we listen to understand, to love (because people feel loved when they're heard), to influence and be influenced, and often to finally be heard ourselves. He starts with humility as the prerequisite, drawing on both Scripture and research into selective attention, memory, and how quickly our brains generate self-justifying stories about our own behavior. From there he gets practical: what it means to turn toward someone rather than turn away or turn against them, how to notice things out loud instead of jumping to conclusions, how to validate someone's feelings without necessarily agreeing with them, and how to steer a conversation past blame and defensiveness back toward what the person actually experienced. Listening doesn't replace bringing truth or correction — it makes both land with more weight, because you've listened first. Speaker: Lee Campbell

  • A Biblical Meditation on Experience and Truth (2008)
    3 Sep 2026
    As D.A. Carson exposits Psalm 1, a few blaring questions come to mind. For one, the stark contrast between the righteous ones who meditate on God's Word and the wicked may seem too black and white for our modern experience. Through this lecture, however, Carson presents seven steps to process and think through Psalm 1. This includes understanding the different literary forms of the Bible, understanding how each genre works, describing Jesus' own parallel thinking, etc. Through this deeper, intellectual look through this psalm, we can truly gain understanding of meditating on the word. Speaker: D.A. Carson

  • Ministering Because I Matter (2021)
    20 Aug 2026
    In order to approach God's ministry from the way He wants you to, you must know who you are and why you matter. What God says about you and your identity will guide you in how to love. There are many signs and symptoms that arise when you minister from your own self effort. They are all self-focused and fear based. When you minister from your identity, you come from a place of humility and gratitude. The result is bearing fruit for God and experiencing His love. Speaker: Mateo Williamson
