    What If You’re Responding to Jesus the Wrong Way?

    Easter Weekend Recap: Salvations, Stories, and Our Response to the Resurrection (John 20)The hosts return to recap Rhythm Church’s Easter weekend, noting a homeschool enrichment program in the background and that staff took Monday off after an intense four-day stretch that included a first-time Good Friday experience. They celebrate record attendance, packed venues, seven services across 16 venue options, 3,000+ people on campus, peak online attendance around 130, and 120+ salvations—often whole families—plus many testimonies from new guests and those invited by people who couldn’t attend. They discuss the Easter message from John 20 on different responses to the resurrection through John, Thomas, and Mary, emphasizing identity as “loved,” making space for doubt, and Jesus meeting people with evidence. They also touch on historical and scientific discussions about crucifixion timing, the Shroud of Turin, and broader implications of responding to Jesus, then preview returning to Joshua and an upcoming Q&A episode.00:00 Back in the Studio01:18 Easter Weekend Wins04:24 Serving and Logistics06:31 Why We Celebrate08:16 Easter Message Breakdown10:51 Resurrection Date Deep Dive16:40 Shroud and Empty Tomb20:44 Philip Teleport Moment23:52 Garden Tomb and Crucifixion27:27 Women First Witnesses29:41 Identity as Loved34:57 Loved Identity Lived Out36:44 Reframing Thomas Doubt40:20 Evidence and Come See42:59 Disciples Fear and Faith Leap48:21 Jesus Chooses the Unlikely54:18 Urgency and Consequences59:49 Weeping and Gnashing01:02:46 Were You There Response01:04:49 Easter Recap and Next Steps

    Why Small Compromises Destroy Your Life

    Achan’s Sin, Small Compromises, and Why Obedience Matters | Joshua 7 + Worship Night at Rhythm ChurchThe hosts recap an eventful weekend at Rhythm Church featuring around 29 baptisms and discuss an upcoming, highly produced Tuesday worship night meant to create a powerful in-room experience that also translates online. They share creative-team needs including producers with administrative strengths, YouTube-focused curators, and more editors for short-form clips. The conversation then dives into Joshua 7 and Achan’s sin, emphasizing how hidden compromise can coexist with short-term “victory,” how partial obedience is disobedience, and how sin typically escalates through small steps rather than sudden collapse. They contrast gifting versus anointing, warn against excusing poor character because of visible success, and highlight themes of God’s holiness, fear of the Lord, and the Valley of Achor later becoming a “door of hope” in Hosea 2:15. They preview a temporary shift from Joshua to Jesus in Jericho leading into Easter.00:00 Small Compromises00:43 Weekend Recap02:55 Worship Night Hype07:07 Creative Projects10:38 Achan Hidden Sin13:02 Winning While Sinning16:55 Prayerless Overconfidence22:18 Gifted Versus Anointed28:27 Babylon Robe Rebellion32:30 Silver Gold Shortcuts34:09 Waiting Reveals Faith36:48 Achan Warning Example37:27 Valley Of Trouble39:51 Saul Partial Obedience40:50 Grace And Obedience44:25 Culture And Deconstruction48:20 False Teachers Warnings51:11 Small Compromises Drift57:06 Sin Crouching Door59:06 Holiness And Awe01:02:47 Gods Ways Better01:03:54 Easter Jericho Preview01:04:42 Thanks And Wrap Up

    You’re Still Thinking Like a Slave

    Joshua 4: 12 Stones, Remembering God in Drought & Plenty (Plus: Passover, Circumcision, and Manna to Maturity) In this episode of “If I Had More Time,” the hosts open with light conversation about Presidents Day weekend and Valentine’s Day, then transition into a discussion based on Joshua 4 and a recently preached message. They unpack the Israelites crossing the Jordan, setting up 12 stones as a memorial, and an additional set of 12 stones placed in the river as “hidden” reminders meant for seasons of doubt and drought. The conversation explores the biblical significance of building altars and tangible faith reminders at home, the idea of believers as “living stones” formed by Jesus the stone mason, and why being part of a local church is not intended to be optional. They also touch on church unity across cultures, emphasizing Jesus as the central shared foundation. The hosts discuss the difficult topic of circumcision after entering enemy territory, connecting it to covenant identity, radical vulnerability, trusting God’s protection, and the necessity of consecration and discipleship. They highlight how Israel’s wilderness mindset kept a generation from entering the promised land and apply this to modern believers who remain stuck in victim or scarcity mindsets, noting the need to deal with trauma through deliverance and therapy and to repent publicly within families when needed. They emphasize the Lord’s focus on moments over momentum, the importance of stopping to celebrate Passover before conquest, and the danger of “prosperity without remembrance,” urging gratitude and stewardship in seasons of abundance. The episode closes by previewing Jericho for next week, asking viewers to comment “stones,” encouraging subscriptions—especially on YouTube—and sharing that they are looking to hire a creative project manager and video editor for their growing team. 00:00 Intro 01:47 Welcome Back + Presidents Day Weekend Banter 02:46 Valentine’s Day Plans (Movies, Flowers, and Mom Time) 02:53 Why Is Valentine’s Day a ‘Hallmark Holiday’? 03:45 Halloween vs. Harvest Fest: Christian Freedom & Legalism 06:52 Sabbath, Tithing, and the ‘Pick-and-Choose’ Problem 08:28 Joshua 4 Recap: 12 Stones, Remembrance, and Teaching the Next Gen 11:47 Hidden Stones in the River: Doubt, Drought, and Remembering God’s Faithfulness 14:40 Living Stones & Jesus the Stone Mason: Why Church Isn’t Optional 18:40 Diversity in the Church: United in Jesus, Celebrating Culture 21:07 Joshua 5 & Circumcision: Radical Vulnerability and Trusting God’s Protection 27:58 Leaving the Wilderness: Victim vs. Victorious Mindset 30:57 The Fruit Isn’t for the Tree: Dealing With Issues for the Next Generation 33:56 Breaking Family Strongholds: Public Repentance & Ending the Cycle 34:37 Momentum vs Moments: Circumcision, Altars, and God’s Strategic Pauses 35:54 Passover Before the Battle: Remembering the Blood & Entering the Promise 38:42 Inheritance Without Prosperity Gospel: Sonship, Bold Asking, and Confidence 42:20 From Slave Mindset to Stewardship: Everything Is the Lord’s 44:21 No More Manna: Maturity, Participation, and Responsible Obedience 51:06 Prosperity Without Remembrance: Deuteronomy’s Warning & the Apostasy Cycle 54:46 Using Blessings for the Kingdom: Gratitude, Complaining, and Open Hands 56:36 Wrap-Up + What’s Next: Jericho Tease, Subscribe/Support, and Team Hiring
