    The Lie That Keeps You Quiet About Jesus | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    In this episode of The Pursuit, Jacob Whitehead, Carlos Fernandez, and James Griffin open Acts 10. God sends an angel to Cornelius and then points him to a fisherman 30 miles away, because anytime God wants to save a person, He sends a person. Why wouldn't God just let the angel share the gospel? Does someone's eternity ride on whether you open your mouth? Why would God trust His message to nervous, inconsistent people? How can you tell He's already working on your coworker? What happens to people who have never heard the name of Jesus? How do you test a vision or impression, and what do you do with the people you've quietly decided aren't yours to reach? If you've been waiting for God to send someone to the people around you, this one is for you. Subscribe for more messages that will help you know and follow Jesus.

    When You Pray for Healing and It Doesn’t Come | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    In this episode of The Pursuit, Jacob Whitehead, Carlos Fernandez, and James Griffin walk through Acts 9, where Jesus heals a man who spent eight years on a mat, and take on the question that story raises for anyone who has prayed for healing and watched it not come. They start with the first-century assumption that suffering meant God was punishing you, and show how many Christians still quietly believe it today. Does God heal everyone who asks? What are the three ways Jesus heals, and why does the third one matter most? Is it true that you'd be healed if you just had more faith? What was Paul's thorn, and what does his no from God mean for yours? How do you keep praying when you're exhausted and nothing has changed? What does it mean to pray proactively and reactively? And how does the way you suffer make the gospel more believable to the people watching you? If you're still waiting on a prayer God hasn't answered the way you wanted, this episode is for you.

    The Lies You're Not Allowed to Question | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    In this episode of The Pursuit, Jacob Whitehead, Carlos Fernandez, and James Griffin wrap up the Storm the Gate series by unpacking why Paul calls the church the pillar and buttress of the truth, then take on the lies culture won't let you challenge: abortion is healthcare, love is love, and progressive Christianity. They cover who actually gets to define love, why progressive Christianity isn't Christianity at all, how to spot false teaching before it pulls you in, and how to walk with someone carrying a decision they can't undo. If you've ever stayed quiet at the dinner table because the truth felt too costly, this one is for you. Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.

    Christians, Socialism, and the Line You Can't Cross | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody dig into 2 Corinthians 6:14 and dig into why believers shouldn't yoke themselves to people whose political ideologies contradict the Word of God.  What does a yoke look like in 2026? Where does socialism directly contradict the law of God? Should you break up with someone whose politics run against Scripture? And what do you do if the yoke is already on? If the people closest to you are shaping your future, this conversation will help you make sure they're pulling you toward Christ and not away from Him.

    The Blueprint for a Marriage That Actually Works | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    Everybody wants a marriage that works. Almost nobody follows the design.

If you're married, want to be married, or you've ever winced at the word submit, this one is for you. Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.

    Will You Be Okay If You Never Get It? | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    In this episode of The Pursuit, Matt Moody, Carlos Fernandez, and James Griffin dig into the part of 1 Corinthians 12 that gets skipped: rejoicing with someone who is being honored while life is going badly for you. The conversation starts by separating coveting from envy.  From there the guys get practical about the diagnosis. How do you tell Godly ambition from selfish ambition when both feel like drive? What is the hidden idol sitting underneath the thing you say you want? What does it look like when envy is already working in you and you have not named it yet, and what do you do when someone is envious of you?  The person you are struggling to be happy for is probably already in your head. This one is about what to do with that. Subscribe for more messages that will help you know and follow Jesus.

    The Truth About "Church Hurt" No One Will Say Out Loud | The Pursuit with James Griffin

    Somebody in the church hurt you. Does that give you a reason to leave, or just an excuse to quit? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody pick up the thread from this weekend's Storm the Gates message and preach the whole different sermon James promised: when leaving a church family is legitimate, and when it's abandoning the household of God. If someone in a church family has ever hurt you, or you're carrying an offense you know you need to deal with, this one is for you.
