    Episode 79 | Spiritual Maturity, Being Known in a Large Church, & Fall This or That Pt. 2

    (3:04) Question of the Day:  Fall This or That pt. 2 (9:37) Off Topic Topic: When you attend a larger church, it can be easier to hide and remain unknown. Even though we intentionally keep our services at The Chapel smaller, you two still may not know what every person is walking through. What structures have we put in place to help people be known, cared for, and shepherded here at The Chapel? (15:45) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (19:06) What does it mean to “give it to God” when you are the one who actually has to physically do it?(23:01) How should someone answer the question “How is your relationship with God?”(31:24) For those who are naturally driven…how can you have healthy drive/direction without it turning into selfish ambition(41:57) If someone has many spiritual gifts…should they make sure they are using all of them in the church?(46:49) Why does verse 9 say we are God’s field, “God’s Building”? (48:50) Celebration: Baptisms!

    Episode 78 | Earliest Memories, Difficult Scripture, & How to Know God's Wisdom

    (1:26) Question of the Day: What is your earliest memory? (7:08) Off Topic Topic: What should someone do if they are reading their Bible and come cross something that disturbs them, and the Bible doesn’t denounce it right there or at all? How should people think about it when this happens? (17:35) Discussion & Member Questions:  (17:42) CQ: Can y’all speak about parents idolizing children, particularly from the view of the child (and a married child at that). How should the child navigate being idolized when the default is to soothe the situation and not engage in conflict? (23:47) Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (29:59) CQ: We talked a lot about man’s wisdom vs. the Lord’s wisdom. For the believer, there is the Holy Spirit to help us understand the wisdom of the Lord. When we seek wisdom on a particular topic, how can we tell if the answer we receive is of God or of man?(37:59) CQ: Can you speak to the cognitive dissonance someone might experience when they grow up believing a certain theology, but then later learn something new that makes sense, but it contradicts what they've always believed? How do you know when to hold firmly to what you've believed and when to be willing to reconsider it?(45:37) If every Christian receives the Holy Spirit, why do some Christians seem to understand Scripture very differently from one another?(51:38) How should a person respond when they hear an argument that is very convincing and seems wise, though it may contradict what they believe the Bible says?(54:44) Is it okay to say “God told me?” When is it appropriate vs. when is it not? (01:02:55) Celebration

    Episode 77 | Fall This or That, Baldness in Heaven, Offensive Gospel, and Trusting God's Power

    (3:04) Question of the Day: This or That Fall Edition (12:11) Off Topic Topic: Will there be baldness in heaven? (17:32) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (28:28) With non Christians, the idea of Jesus dying on the cross isn’t necessarily the most offensive thing for them. Rather, it’s trying to wrap their heads around around how God can be good and yet there’s still genocide happening in the world. Or person A is cured from a disease but person B is not cured. I know we may never get clear explanations of why certain things happen, but I just wanted to share my experience. What are some handle bars you can give us when these concerns come up when having gospel conversations.(37:17) If God is the one who changes people’s hearts, how much responsibility do we actually have to have answers and be persuasive when we talk about our faith?(41:35) Paul worked hard to communicate clearly while also insisting that the result depended on God. What does that tension look like outside of preaching in our jobs, parenting, leadership, or everyday life?(44:08) How does a prayer sound different from praying for abilities to what you're talking about?(46:24) If someone comes to faith partly because they really connected with a particular pastor or speaker, is that a problem? When does admiration for a messenger become unhealthy?(49:58) Celebration: Group Connect Sunday!

    Episode 76 | "Holy Kisses", Fonts, Boasting, Intelligence, and a Unified Church

    (4:09) Question of the Day:  If you had to give a 30-minute presentation with zero preparation, what topic could you talk about?  (13:10) Off Topic Topic: Multiple New Testament letters tell Christians to greet one another with a holy kiss. Obviously most churches don’t. Thank God, but why not? (16:27) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (19:02) While preparing this sermon, were there any parts you wished you would have had more time to draw out?(23:47) How do you celebrate something God has allowed you to accomplish without turning it into boasting about yourself?(27:17) Did you have any thoughts on some of the things we look for?(32:39) Could you speak to the extremes we can have in pursuit of intelligence? (39:28) We associated boasting in ourselves with division. If a church really stopped competing over personalities, preferences, accomplishments, or status, what would actually look different about that church day to day? (42:14) Celebration: Re:gen Ministry

    Episode 75 | Love Languages, Reading Recs, and Unity in the Church

    (2:40) Question of the Day: What is your love language? (8:10) Off Topic Topic: Based on a 2025 Cambridge University Press study, Gen Z is reading more, not less, and they’re turning to print for time away from screens. This study found that 66% is identifying as readers which is up 14 percentage points from 2022. The researchers said that it is tied to a longing for ‘digital detox’.  What are some of the most impactful books you've read? (14:43) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (17:43) What advice do you have for navigating conversations and relationships with family members who are Catholic and Greek Orthodox? I don’t want to divide over disagreements regarding issues like Sola Scriptura and what is needed for salvation, but these debates constantly get brought up. Do I just avoid these discussions altogether for the sake of keeping the peace and cultivating unity with family members?(26:57) When there is a tier 1 issue, what does dividing actually look like? (36:30) Is there a point where pursuing unity goes too far because we are avoiding necessary conflict? Can that be used to pressure people to just get with the program and get over difficulties?(39:29) We talked about some of the tiers to decide what is most important? What if some people disagree with what belongs in those tiers? (45:30) Celebration: Growing Kids Ministry

    Episode 74 | Washing Feet, Loving Our Neighbors, and New Series Intro: Called Out

    (2:48) Question of the Day: Do you wash your feet?  (6:36) Off Topic Topic: Buying a stranger’s coffee outperformed clinical therapy in a head-to-head study published in the journal of positive psychology. From lower stress and stronger relationships to improvements in depression and anxiety, neuroscientists are finding that compassion changes us too. Researchers were shocked though people of faith might not be. (15:17) Discussion & Member Questions: So we just started a new series. Why this? Why now? (21:24) Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (26:52) I’ve seen Christians be skeptical of someone who has professed their faith in Christ because that person still talks about X or is involved in X. So they therefore question whether that person has truly been changed by the Gospel. For instance, someone famous who professes their new found faith in Christ but they still talk about X or support X therefore making christians question if they’ve truly been transformed by Christ. Is there a point where this goes from discernment to then casting judgment on a person and worrying about their speck instead of our own plank? Should we just be encouraging that they’ve found Christ or is there an appropriate way to also discern if they’ve been truly changed?(33:40) We asked the question whether The Chapel is having an impact on BR or if BR is having an impact on The Chapel.  What are some parts of BR culture that you think the church needs to understand and where do you hope the church can help shape that culture locally?(45:24) Being “called out” doesn’t always feel good. What are some things we need to remember when we are being called out throughout this series? (50:47) Celebration: SALT Leaders

    Episode 73 | Karaoke Songs, AI, and Finishing the Upside Down Kingdom

    (1:30) Question of the Day: What is your go to karaoke song? (4:04) Off Topic Topic: An Introduction to AI and Christianity (16:07) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (19:23) What is something you used to spend money on until you realized it was a waste of money?(23:03) How do you wrestle with having perspective of the hardships other people are going through (ie., not having a place to live, not knowing where your next meal is coming from, and at the same time not letting that diminish the struggles that I'm going through because I feel like my problems are not that extreme compared to what others are going through?(29:55) You both made a distinction between knowing what Jesus says and obeying, for someone who has been in the church for years and knows a lot about the Bible how can they tell when they've mistaken knowledge for obedience?(35:13) You both said storms reveal what our lives are actually built on. When we are in the middle of the storm how can we tell when its exposing a shaky foundation or whether we're simply experiencing the pain of living in a broken world? (38:51) Celebration: CLC
