    62. The Tragedy of Almost

    How many people live their lives spiritually stuck in almost? In this episode of Beyond Sundays, we explore the quiet danger of stopping just short of what God has called us to do. Looking at Israel’s story in Book of Numbers, we discuss how fear, comfort, and hesitation led them to settle near the Promised Land instead of stepping fully into it. Almost didn’t feel rebellious.It felt responsible.It felt safe. And that same tension shows up in our lives today. In this conversation we talk about: • Why fear often disguises itself as wisdom• What “almost obedience” looks like in everyday life• How comfort can slowly replace calling• The hidden cost of living close to God’s promises but never entering them• The courage it takes to finally cross over When Israel eventually entered the land under Joshua, the promise didn’t remove the battles. It simply positioned them where God wanted them to be. If you’ve ever felt stuck between security and obedience, this episode is for you. 🌐 Keep all our show links and socials in one place:beyondsundayspod.com If you enjoy the show, you can help grow the community by following, rating, and reviewing on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

    61. Does the Bible Teach Miracles Have Ceased?

    Do miracles still happen — or did they end with the apostles? In Episode 61, we explore whether the Bible teaches that miraculous gifts like prophecy, tongues, and healing have ceased. We define cessationism, explain why many thoughtful Christians hold the view, and carefully examine the key passages often cited in the debate — especially 1 Corinthians 13:8–10 and Hebrews 2:3–4. Along the way we also discuss: The significance of Acts of the Apostles 2 Ongoing instructions in 1 Corinthians 14 Prayer for healing in James 5 Warnings about false signs in Matthew 7:22–23 We ask practical questions like:Can God still heal?Should Christians expect miracles?How should believers evaluate miracle claims wisely and biblically? Our goal isn’t to stir controversy — it’s to think carefully, stay rooted in Scripture, and pursue clarity over caricature. If you’ve ever wrestled with this issue, this episode is for you.

    60. Who (or What) is Satan?

    What does the Bible really mean when it talks about Satan? Is he a literal being, a role, a symbol of systemic evil—or something more complex? In this episode of Beyond Sundays, Hannah leads a thoughtful, honest conversation exploring how Scripture presents Satan and why our understanding matters for fear, temptation, and faith. We talk about:• The “satan” in Job—role or name?• New Testament portrayals like the tempter and the dragon• Why Christianity rejects cosmic dualism• Augustine’s idea that evil is a privation of good• Satan as a singular adversary vs. collective opposition• How our beliefs about evil shape how we live This episode isn’t about speculation—it’s about understanding Scripture faithfully while keeping our eyes on Jesus. 👉 Visit beyondsundayspod.com to find all our links and socials in one place.👉 Follow, rate, and review on Spotify or Apple to help us grow this amazing community! Question of the week: What was your biggest fear as a kid—and how did it shape how you think about evil today? Thanks for fitting us into your busy life.

    59. I Don’t Feel God Anymore—Is Something Wrong?

    What happens when your faith feels… empty? In this honest episode of Beyond Sundays, we talk about spiritual dry seasons—the times when God feels distant, prayers feel flat, and faith feels like work instead of joy. Are these seasons normal? Did we do something wrong? And what should we do when the feelings disappear? We share personal stories, look at what Scripture says about desert seasons, and talk about practical steps to stay grounded when faith feels hard. In this episode:• Real stories of spiritual dry seasons• The myth of constant spiritual highs• What NOT to do when faith feels empty• What TO do instead• A “Desert Survival Kit” of practical ideas Biblical anchors discussed:Psalm 13, Job, Lamentations 3, 1 Kings 19, Hebrews 10:25, Luke 18, Matthew 26, 2 Corinthians 12 If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t feel God anymore,” this episode is for you. You’re not alone—and deserts don’t mean God is gone. 👉 Follow, rate, and review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to help grow the Beyond Sundays community! 🌐 Find all our links and socials: beyondsundayspod.com

    58. Can You Forgive Someone and Still Keep Your Distance?

    On this episode of Beyond Sundays, Hannah leads a deeply honest conversation about something many Christians wrestle with quietly: forgiveness vs. boundaries. We talk about the tension between what we were taught growing up and what real life often looks like. What does forgiveness actually mean internally? What does it not require? And how do boundaries protect our hearts without punishing others? In this episode we cover:• Why forgiveness and reconciliation aren’t always the same• How forgiveness shows up slowly over time• What healthy boundaries look like in families and churches• Loving people without giving full access• The version of faith we might need to unlearn We also kick things off with a little Super Bowl chat and wrap up with what we learned and how we can live this out in everyday life.

    Who Was Cain Afraid Of?

    Most of us were introduced to Genesis in Sunday School—simple stories, clear answers, and tidy conclusions. But when you actually sit down and read Genesis for yourself, it’s anything but simple. In this episode of Beyond Sundays, we wrestle with the gap between the “Sunday School version” of Genesis and the story Scripture actually tells. We explore unsettling questions surrounding Cain, the land of Nod, and why the text seems to assume more people than we remember being taught about. Along the way, we ask whether faith was ever meant to stop growing at a child’s reading level. This isn’t about tearing down Scripture—it’s about taking it seriously enough to read it closely, honestly, and without fear. Because maybe faith doesn’t break when the answers get harder…Maybe it deepens.

    56. When Faith Meets Injustice: Seeing Clearly and Choosing Compassion

    What does it really mean to seek justice as a follower of Jesus—and what does it cost us? In this episode of Beyond Sundays, we dig into what it looks like to see injustice clearly without giving in to judgment, division, or apathy. Using passages like Micah 6:8, Luke 10 (the Good Samaritan), John 8, Romans 3:23, and Isaiah 1:17, we explore how faith calls us to compassion, humility, and action—even when it’s uncomfortable. Hannah leads a thoughtful conversation on: ​Recognizing injustice in our communities without dehumanizing others​How systems (even well-intentioned ones) can cause real harm​The tension between law, politics, and compassion​When silence or neutrality actually supports injustice​The personal and communal cost of choosing mercyWe also reflect on accountability, shared responsibility, and where our own faith may be calling us to step in—not just in theory, but in real life. At Beyond Sundays, we’re two friends trying to follow Jesus more closely. You won’t always agree with us, and we don’t have all the answers—but we promise to stay open, honest, and grounded in Scripture.

    55. Why Spiritual Authority Gives Us the Ick (Even Though We Know It's Biblical)

    What gives you the ick about spiritual authority—and why does it matter? In this episode of Beyond Sundays, Matt hosts a candid conversation called “Name the Ick,” where we unpack why certain expressions of church leadership make people uneasy, guarded, or burned out. From unquestioned authority and spiritual language used to shut down disagreement, to pressure to “submit” without safety or trust, we get specific about what triggers discomfort—and why those reactions might be worth listening to. We compare modern leadership instincts with the way Jesus actually exercised authority. He washed feet, refused status, invited questions, and never leveraged fear or divine threats. If Jesus is our model, why does His version of authority feel so different from what many of us experienced in church? We also explore what healthy spiritual authority feels like—leadership that invites feedback, names its limits, protects the vulnerable, and is okay being questioned. And we close by affirming something many people need to hear: being careful isn’t rebellion, discernment isn’t distrust, and wanting safety doesn’t mean rejecting God’s design. 🎧 Thanks for fitting us into your busy life.🌐 Find all our links and socials at beyondsundayspod.com⭐ Follow, rate, and review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to help grow the Beyond Sundays community.
