    B&R #021 | Don’t Settle For Insignificant

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim and Titus take a deeper look at the story of Lot, uncovering a powerful detail that is often overlooked: Zoar. As God was leading Lot away from destruction and toward safety in the mountains, Lot instead asked to settle in Zoar, a place that seemed small, manageable, and “good enough.” Tim and Titus unpack the hidden significance of that decision and what it reveals about human nature. Why do we resist where God is trying to lead us? Why do we settle for what feels easier instead of trusting what is better? This conversation explores how God is often calling us out of destruction and into something greater, yet we can be tempted to choose what feels safe, familiar, or insignificant. The story of Lot becomes a mirror, showing how easy it is to trade God’s best for something less. If you have ever felt the pull to settle instead of step forward in faith, this episode will challenge you to trust God’s direction and aim higher.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:23 God Gives Us Warning Signs 05:10 Accountability 07:40 The Story Of Lot 11:11 God Is Giving One Last Chance 14:02 The “Significance” Of Zoar 24:05 Don’t Leave The Blessing Of God 28:11 Quit Settling For Insignificant! 32:53 God’s Design For Covenant Relationships   👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more conversations that connect Scripture to everyday life. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Bourne & Raised. 👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Where in your life have you been tempted to settle for “good enough” instead of trusting God for more?   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    B&R #020 | Don't Get Caught Up

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, Jordan, and Titus continue the Surrounded conversation by unpacking a powerful warning from Hebrews 12:1 — the sin that so easily entangles us. What does it really mean to get “caught up”? Through the stories of Esau and Samson, the Bournes explore how small compromises can lead to bigger consequences, and how easily distraction, desire, and disobedience can pull us away from what God has called us to. This episode is both a warning and an invitation. A warning about the dangers of drifting, and an invitation to live with awareness, discipline, and purpose. The conversation closes with a powerful distinction: regret vs. repentance. Regret leads to grief and staying stuck. Repentance leads to God, freedom, and restoration. If you have ever felt pulled off track or caught in something you did not intend, this episode will challenge and encourage you to refocus and move forward.   Chapters 02:18 Don’t Get Caught Up 06:57 Ever Been Caught Up? 13:42 Esau-Level Short Sightedness 17:35 Samson Caught Up 21:55 God Gives Warnings And Boundaries 24:16 Make The Right Decision Today 25:02 Preventative Maintenance 27:54 “It Just Happened” 28:55 Regret Vs.

    Mile Markers Of A Relationship With Christ | Episode 019

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Titus kick off a new series of conversations inspired by Genesis Metro’s sermon series, “Surrounded,” based on Hebrews 12:1–3. Looking at the “cloud of witnesses” mentioned in Scripture, they focus on the powerful story of Rahab. A woman whose single decision to trust God changed the trajectory of her life forever. Her story is a reminder that following God often requires risk, courage, and a willingness to step away from what is familiar. The Bournes unpack how choosing obedience can lead to a change in your environment, your relationships, and ultimately who you are surrounded by. Sometimes the hardest part of faith is not knowing what comes next, but trusting God enough to take the step anyway. At the center of this conversation is a simple but powerful truth: you are one decision away from God changing your life for the better.   CHAPTERS 00:58 Sermon Series: Surrounded 01:37 The Story of Rahab 04:49 How Rahab’s Story Applies To Us 08:17 Mile Marker 1: Meeting God Leads To Risk 11:59 Parasitic Christianity 17:15 Mile Marker 2: Meeting God Will Change Your Crowd 26:02 How Your Crowd Impacts Your Marriage 30:25 Evangelism vs. Secularism 34:01 You Are One Decision Away   👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more conversations about faith, family, and living out biblical truth. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Bourne & Raised. 👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What was a time where God called you to risk your circumstances to follow Him?   Find the latest Genesis Metro service  ⁨@GenesisMetro⁩  Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    What The Bible ACTUALLY Says About Leading Your Household | Episode 018

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim and Carrie Bourne dive into the biblical design for marriage and leadership within the home. What does it really mean for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, and for wives to respect and support their husbands? Tim and Carrie walk through what Scripture teaches about Godly leadership, mutual care, and the responsibility each spouse carries in building a healthy marriage. They share practical insights from their own life and ministry, unpacking how these biblical principles are meant to strengthen relationships rather than create tension. This conversation is an honest and encouraging look at how God’s design for marriage works when both husband and wife seek to honor Him first.   CHAPTERS  00:30 A Wife’s Perspective Of Uprising  03:09 The Secret To Women  07:34 How To Let A Godly Husband Lead A Godly Woman  13:53 Healthy Leadership Structure In A Godly Marriage  19:43 Debunking Feminism   👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more conversations about faith, family, and living out biblical truth. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Bourne & Raised. 👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What biblical principle has most strengthened your marriage or relationships?   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    Jesus Carried All Sin Away | Episode 016

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, and Titus continue the conversation in Part 2 of unpacking the Once For All series, diving deeper into how Jesus fulfills the Day of Atonement described in Leviticus. In this episode, they explore the powerful imagery of the scapegoat. On the Day of Atonement, one goat was sacrificed, and another was sent away into the wilderness, symbolically carrying the sins of the people. Tim, Carrie, and Titus unpack how this points directly to Jesus, who not only paid for sin, but carried it away completely. This conversation highlights the beauty of substitution, removal of guilt, and the freedom found in Christ. The gospel is not partial. It is complete. Next week in Part 3, they will explain how Jesus also fulfills the ram offering, bringing this rich theological discussion full circle. If you want to understand the Old Testament sacrificial system and see how it all points to Jesus, this episode will deepen your faith and strengthen your biblical understanding.   👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more conversations that connect theology to everyday faith. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you do not miss Part 2 next week. 👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What did you learn from this episode of B&R?   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    The Old Testament Still Matters | Episode 015

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim and Jordan begin a two-part deep dive into the Once For All sermon series, exploring how Jesus fulfills the Day of Atonement described in Leviticus. In Part 1, they tackle what they call the Old Testament Dismissal Fallacy, pushing back against the idea that the Old Testament no longer matters for believers today. They unpack what the Day of Atonement actually was, why the Law mattered, and how everything in Leviticus ultimately points to Christ. The conversation also explores Jesus as our Great High Priest, whether tithing is still biblical, and why Jesus truly stands alone in accomplishing what no priest ever could. Along the way, they introduce powerful themes like how salvation moves east to west and how the gospel works from the inside out. This is Part 1 of the conversation. Next week, they will continue breaking down how Jesus fulfills what the sacrificial system could never complete. If you want a clearer understanding of how the Old Testament connects to Jesus and why His sacrifice was once and for all, this episode will deepen your faith and sharpen your biblical understanding.
