    The Fellowship of the Burning Hearts

    Join us to Root Issues Podcast, as we welcome special guest Alyssa for a deep dive into one of Scripture's most powerful resurrection encounters. We explore Luke 24 and the road to Emmaus story, where two heartbroken disciples meet the risen Christ without recognizing Him—until He opens the Scriptures and breaks bread with them. Their hearts burned within them as Jesus revealed how all of Scripture pointed to His death and resurrection. We discuss how the book of Hebrews expands on this theme of Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament revelation, and what it means for our hearts to burn with passion for God's Word today. Whether you're experiencing spiritual disappointment or seeking deeper understanding of how Christ appears throughout Scripture, this conversation will reignite your love for biblical truth.

    I Can Do All Things: Understanding Paul's Secret

    In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into one of Paul's most profound declarations about Christian contentment found in Philippians 4:11-29. What does it truly mean to be content in every circumstance—whether in plenty or in want? We explore the Greek text to uncover Paul's "secret" of contentment and discover that his sufficiency wasn't rooted in circumstances, personal strength, or material provision, but in Christ himself.

    Guarding Your Mind: Christian Entertainment

    In this episode of Root Issues, we have a special guest with us, Jonathan Woodrow, where we examine Paul's call in Philippians 4:8-9 to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. We explore how these divine standards provide a practical framework for evaluating the entertainment we consume. Paul's instruction isn't just about avoiding the impure; it's about actively filling our minds with excellence and training our thoughts toward what honors God..

    Standing Firm in Christ: Joy, Unity, and Peace

    Join us on Root Issues as we work through Philippians 4:1-7, one of Scripture's most beloved passages on anxiety and prayer. Paul moves from addressing church conflict to offering a radical solution for worry—bringing everything to God with thanksgiving. We discuss what it means to stand firm as "beloved" people, the command to rejoice always, and how God's peace acts as a garrison protecting our hearts. This is practical theology for anxious times.

    Hospitality & Holiness: The Church's Table Theology

    In this episode of Root Issues, we explore the often-overlooked biblical theology of table fellowship and its vital role in the life of the church. The shared meal has always been more than just food—it's a theological act of community, hospitality, and discipleship. We examine key passages that demonstrate how eating together functioned as a primary expression of Christian unity and love, looking at both the practical and spiritual dimensions of gathering around the table.

    The Crisis of Self-Awareness

    In this episode of Root Issues, we discuss the uncomfortable reality of self-deception using Mark 14:26 as our starting point. The disciples had just shared Passover with Jesus and walked confidently toward the Mount of Olives, singing hymns and making promises they couldn't keep. If you had asked them whether they'd stand with Jesus no matter what, every one would have said yes—yet that very night exposed a different reality.

    The Book Of Philippians- The Resurrection Power and the Fellowship of His Sufferings

    In this episode of Root Issues, we explore one of Paul's most passionate declarations about the Christian life. Philippians 3:10-21 reveals Paul's singular ambition: to know Christ intimately, experience the power of His resurrection, and share in His sufferings. Writing from prison, Paul describes the Christian journey not as arrival but as relentless pursuit—pressing toward the goal despite not having "already obtained" perfection.

    The Book of Philippians - The True Circumcision

    In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into Philippians 3:1-9, where the Apostle Paul presents one of Scripture's most radical contrasts between human achievement and divine righteousness. Paul begins by warning the Philippian church to "rejoice in the Lord" and beware of those who place confidence in the flesh—the Judaizers who insisted on circumcision and law-keeping for salvation
