    What is Biblical Worship

    What actually makes worship "biblical"? Is there a hidden checklist — the right songs, the right order, the right rituals — that separates real worship from the counterfeit? Wes and Marcus dig into Jesus's words in John 4:24 to the Samaritan woman about worshiping "in spirit and in truth," and ask whether we've been misreading that phrase for years. Along the way they explore the idea of "decently and in order" (1 Corinthians 14:40), why edification matters more than we realize, and why bringing your whole messy self into a gathering might be the most biblical thing you can do.

    What We Love About the Church of Christ

    It’s easy to point out the flaws in your own spiritual family, the blemishes, the baggage, the things you’d change. But when was the last time you stopped to name what you love? After a summer break, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson return to talk about why, despite its imperfections, the Church of Christ is still the fellowship they call home. Why is a cappella singing spiritually formative? What makes this a surprisingly good moment for churches committed to Scripture over spectacle? Plus, Wes and Marcus share an announcement they’ve been sitting on all summer. Whether you grew up in this fellowship or you’re just curious about it, this conversation might help you see Churches of Christ with fresh eyes.

    Who is the Holy Spirit?

    What does the Bible say about the person and work of the Holy Spirit? What if the way you think about the Holy Spirit is quietly shrinking your relationship with God? Most of us have been shaped by a culture that wants to take everything apart; to understand the mechanics, extract maximum value, and move on. But what happens when we bring that mindset to the Holy Spirit? When He becomes a force to harness rather than a divine person to know?In John 14, Jesus doesn't introduce the Spirit as a power source. He introduces him as another Helper; the same kind as Jesus Himself. Wes and Marcus dig into what it actually means that the Holy Spirit is a he, not an it; a divine person, not an impersonal force. And they wrestle with why that distinction changes everything: how we pray, how we read Scripture, how we live together as a church, and what the Spirit is actually up to in the world.

    What Does the Bible Say About Entertainment?

    Can a Christian actually watch a movie to the glory of God? Play a video game in the name of Jesus? It sounds almost absurd until you realize Paul's command in 1 Corinthians 10:31 doesn't stop at the church door, "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." That means entertainment too. But what does that actually look like in practice? And how do you avoid the two traps: writing off all entertainment as spiritually dangerous, or treating it as a completely neutral zone where faith has no say? Wes and Marcus have both wrestled with this personally. They bring their own stories, their own failures, and a surprisingly deep theological case for why how and why you consume entertainment matters just as much as what you choose to consume.

    How Can You Count it All Joy?

    "Count it all joy when you face trials," you've probably heard James 1:2 before. However, if we're being honest, it sounds offensive. Maybe even cruel. When life is falling apart, the last thing most of us want is a command to be joyful about it. Our instinct is to escape, to find someone or something that will rescue us from the pain as fast as possible.But what if that instinct — that desperate need to avoid suffering at all cost — is actually leading us somewhere dangerous? What if James, Peter, Paul, and even Job are all pointing to something we're not sure we really want? Wes and Marcus dig into James 1:2-4 and a surprising thread through Scripture: that suffering isn't just something God permits — it may be exactly what you need to become who you're meant to be.

    The Death of Death

    Most of us have been taught to make peace with death: The circle of life. A natural part of things. Even well-meaning Christians sometimes shrug at the grave, "They're in a better place, so I shouldn't be sad." But what if this instinct to soften death actually robs us of something important? Scripture calls death an enemy, one that God himself wept over, one that steals not just a final breath, but everything that was supposed to flourish before that moment. And yet Scripture also speaks of God wielding death, of the angel of death in Exodus, of death being cast into the lake of fire. How do we hold those things together? Wes and Marcus wrestle with one of the most heart-wrenching tensions in all of Scripture and what it means for how we grieve, hope, and live. This is a public episode.

    Is Anxiety A Sin

    You’ve heard it your whole life, “Do not be anxious about anything.” But what happens when that verse makes your anxiety worse? When the command to stop worrying just adds guilt on top of the worry you already can’t shake? Wes and Marcus get honest about the tension so many Christians feel around anxiety: caught between preachers who call it a sin and a culture that treats it as simply unavoidable. What does the Bible actually say? And is there a way out that doesn’t feel impossible or fake? This conversation might change the way you read Philippians 4:6, and the way you talk to yourself when anxiety hits. Links and Resources * The Gospel of Being Human by Marty Solomon — Referenced at the top of the episode; Wes and Marcus discuss their recent conversation with Marty and how his framework undergirds this topic. * The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt — Wes borrows Haidt’s language to describe the cultural moment we’re living in.

    The Gospel of Being Human

    What if being human isn’t the problem, but the point? Wes and co-host Marcus Stenson sit down with Marty Solomon, host of the BEMA Discipleship Podcast, campus minister, and author, to explore his newly released book, The Gospel of Being Human (co-authored with Reed Dent). The conversation digs into one of the most transformative questions in theology: What if the gospel story actually begins in Genesis 1 (with humanity’s creation), not Genesis 3 (with our fall)? Marty challenges the assumption that being human is fundamentally bad news. When we recapture the biblical vision of humanity as image-bearers, it changes how we see ourselves, treat our enemies, and participate in God’s redemptive work in the world. If you’ve ever felt like Christianity teaches you to hate yourself before you can be saved, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air.
