    What the Bible reveals about true Worship — With Lindy Cofer

    The first time worship is mentioned in the Bible, a father is asked to offer his only son on an altar. That single scene in Genesis 22 becomes the archetype for everything worship means for the rest of Scripture. This episode traces that thread through Leviticus, Romans 12, and Revelation 4, and makes the case that knowing what worship actually is changes everything about how you live it. In this episode: • Genesis 22 and the principle of first mention — why the first time a word appears in Scripture sets the pattern for everything after • Why Abraham's response of worship is wholehearted trust, not naive obedience • Leviticus and the sacrificial system — why every sacrifice was about drawing near to God, not earning his favor • Living sacrifices crawl off the altar — a practical framework for noticing what has quietly stopped being an offering to God • The difference between worship songs and Christian music — and why that distinction matters more than people think • Lindy's story from the mission field with Heidi Baker — when nothing in her toolkit worked except knowing who Jesus is • Revelation 4 and the throne room of heaven — what is actually at the center of all reality SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

    Reframing Parenting in Your Christian Walk

    98% of a worldview is formed by age 12. And if you are handing your kids a device and expecting Sunday morning to do the discipleship, the math does not add up. This episode is a completely unplanned but deeply needed conversation about raising resilient kids — from screen time and sheltering to the culture of your home and how God uses the hardest parenting seasons to form you. In this episode: • Why the goal is not to raise kids who are protected from everything but kids who can engage with anything • The difference between sheltering and discipling — and why both matter • What Darren asks his kids every time he drives them to school • Why your instinct to shut it down when your kid asks a hard question is the exact wrong move • Connection is everything — how to stay the safe place as they get older • Bring them up in the culture of the Lord — what Ephesians 6 actually says about parenting • What to do when you realize you are parenting with tools your own parents gave you that are not working SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

    What It Means to Worship in Spirit and in Truth — A Conversation With Lindy Cofer

    Everybody worships. The only choice is what you worship. And pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. This episode opens John 4, builds a theology of worship with worship leader Lindy Cofer, and makes the case that worship is not a song you sing on Sunday — it is the whole orientation of your life, and scripture is the only thing that can keep it rightly directed. In this episode: What it means to worship in spirit and in truth — John 4 and the Samaritan womanYou become like what you worship — why that is the most important truth about the soulRomans 12 and the living sacrifice — your whole life is on the altarLindy's testimony — from depression at 12 to the cross at 18 to 20 years of worship ministryScreen time as a worship report — what your phone reveals about what you actually loveIf we do not let the Bible define worship culture will SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

    How to pray like Daniel to outlast any crisis.

    Daniel prayed three times a day at 85. The habits formed in him as a 15-year-old under Josiah's reformation sustained him through three kings of Babylon and all the way to the lions' den. This episode asks whether what we resolve as young people will last a lifetime — and makes the case that prayer is the counter-formational practice that makes it possible, especially now when AI, algorithms, and the attention economy are competing for the same attention we were made to give to God. In this episode: Daniel 6 and what a lifetime of faithful prayer producesOnly 10% of American Christians are resilient disciples — and the markers are basicThe attention economy is designed for addiction and the church needs to say soAI is being designed for attachment and it will replace prayer if we let itFive markers of resilient discipleship — and how to build them in the next generationWhat prayer actually looks like — three honest testimonies from the hosts SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

    Living Faithfully in a Distracted World - what Daniel 3 reveals

    You become what you worship. And the way transformation happens is not through information — it is through changing what you love. This episode opens Daniel chapter 3, traces the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego through the furnace, and builds a theology of worship for a generation being formed by everything except the presence of God. In this episode: • Every empire demands devotion — and Babylon is not coming, it is already here • Music as formation — why Nebuchadnezzar repeated the instruments so many times and what that reveals • The death of consumer Christianity — even if he does not, we will not bow • Why worship is not a warmup but the war itself — the primary battleground for the soul • James K.A. Smith on cultural liturgies and why what you repeat without thinking is shaping who you are becoming • Angela's testimony of a hard season where worship was the first thing to go — and the last thing to come back • Babylon gets redeemed not by escaping it but by worshiping faithfully inside it SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

    Living for God in a distorted Culture — Lessons from Daniel

    Empire forms you before it forces you. That was Babylon's strategy with Daniel — and it is still the strategy today. New location, new language, new literature, new name, new food. All of it designed to rewrite a teenager from the inside out without him knowing it was happening. This episode reads Daniel chapter 1 and draws a direct line to the algorithm, the feed, and the culture forming the next generation right now. In this episode: Babylon's five formation tactics and their modern equivalentsDaniel resolved — what that Hebrew word actually meansHow God works in Babylon through one person, one relationship, one act of faithfulnessGen Z is not trying to survive culture — they are trying to win itWe are not here to destroy Babylon. We are here to redeem it. SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

    Prophecy is Ordinary People Speaking God's Heart Into the World

    Paul never treats prophecy as a platform for gifted individuals. He situates it within love, order, and edification. That framework is what this episode is about — a full biblical theology of the gift of prophecy, what it looks like when it is working well, what goes wrong when it is not, and how every believer can grow in it. In this episode: • Prophecy in Acts: how the Spirit directed, mobilized, broke barriers, and prepared the church through this gift • What prophecy actually is — spirit-empowered speech that reveals God's heart in the present moment • Personal stories of prophetic words that were impossibly specific and deeply healing • How to receive revelation, interpret it, and deliver it with humility • The danger of emotionalism, projection, and spiritual manipulation in prophetic ministry • The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy — what that means and why it matters • How to grow in the prophetic: intimacy, humility, community, and risk This series is sponsored by Logos Bible Software — and all three of us genuinely use it. Whether you're trying to go deeper in Scripture, prep for teaching, or just slow down and actually understand what you're reading, Logos is the tool. It gives you context, original language insights, commentaries, and more, all in one place. It's not a shortcut — it's a companion.

    Praying in Tongues — A Biblical Framework for One of the Most Misunderstood Gifts

    Without love, tongues becomes noise and prophecy becomes performance. That one line from Paul in 1 Corinthians reframes everything. This episode is a full biblical theology of the gift of tongues — what it is, what it is not, how it works, and why the gifts of the Holy Spirit only make sense in the context of love. In this episode: Three false teachings about tongues that need to be correctedThe biblical pattern of tongues in Acts — mission, inclusion, and the spread of the gospel to the GentilesWhat tongues actually are — and how they differ from prophecy in a public settingWhy tongues bypasses the analytical mind and reaches the places words cannot — the neuroscience connectionA man on the verge of losing his family, a prayer in tongues, and a story of radical transformationSpiritual gifts are how love meets need — and without love, power loses its purposeHow to practically receive the gift and what to do if you feel skeptical SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.
