    Ep 73 - Bridging Mind and Heart?

    What Did He Mean by That? 🎙 Episode Title: Bridging Mind and Heart? 📅 Release Date: October 16th, 2025 🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, and Robby Mckinney. Episode Summary: In this episode of What Did He Mean by That? we unpackthe weekend sermon on experiencing real spiritual transformation. The conversation explores the interplay between the mind and heart in our faith, the importance of spiritual disciplines, and how God works through our affections to bring lasting change. Using relatable illustrations—from Taylor Swift to everyday habits—they discuss how the gospel reshapes our desires, emotions, and actions. Key Discussion Points: · Spiritual change involves both mind and heart—knowledge alone isn’t enough. · Spiritual disciplines (Bible reading, prayer, church engagement) are designed to stir the heart and grow our faith. · Worship and emotional expressions can vary, but genuine affection for God is the goal, not a particular style. Takeaways: 1. Reflect on your Do’s and Don’ts for the week—how are you intentionally practicing love and faith? 2. Identify ways to engage your mind and heart together: reading Scripture, meditating on God’s promises, and allowing them to shape your emotions. 3. Understand that sanctification is a partnership with God—participate in the means of grace but rely on His Spirit for transformation.

Episode Summary: In this episode of What Did He Mean By That?, PastorsChris Cali and Chris Heimerle joined by Ashley Cali dive deeper into last weekend’s message on identity and belonging in Christ. Through stories about sports, faith, and church life, they unpack what it truly means to find your place in God’s family, not just as a spectator but as an active participant. From middle school locker rooms to church communities, the conversation reminds us that real belonging is rooted in our shared identity in Jesus and lived out through participation in His Church. Key Discussion Points: · Why do you think so many people struggle to feel like they belong in church? What barriers—spiritual, emotional, or social—get in the way? · What’s the difference between simply attendingchurch and participating in church life? What are some practical ways to move from one to the other? · How does understanding your identity in Christ affect how you see your place in the church community?

Episode Summary: This week on What Did He Mean by That?, we unpack the message on the power of the mind and why our thoughts matter so much in following Jesus.

    Ep 70 - How Can You Navigate Faith, Prayer, and Purpose?

    What Did He Mean by That? 🎙 Episode Title: How Can You Navigate Faith, Prayer, and Purpose? 📅 Release Date: September 25th, 2025 🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, & Robby McKinney. Episode Summary: In this special Q&A episode recorded at the young adult retreat, we tackle some of the biggest questions about faith, prayer, and life as a young adult following Christ. From struggling with prayer and spiritual disciplines, to understanding God’s design for men and women in the home and church, we give honest, practical, and biblical insights. Listeners will hear real conversations about navigating seasons of life, finding motivation to grow spiritually, and managing anxiety or depression while staying grounded in faith. Whether you’re wrestling with questions about your role in the church, your spiritual habits, or your personal walk with God, this episode provides encouragement, guidance, and clarity for anyone seeking to live fully for Christ. Questions Discussed: · How do I pray with faith when it feels like I’m just saying words? · Can women carry the title and office of pastor? · What does it mean for a husband to be the head of the household? · How do you reconcile the complementarian view with modern gender roles? · How do I maintain spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible reading, and evangelism, especially when I don’t feel motivated? · Why does it feel like I’m not “getting anything out” of prayer or Bible reading? · Why was my depression getting worse when I was living for God? Takeaways: 1.    Faith and Prayer -       Feeling like your prayers lack impact or emotion is common; prayer isn’t about feelings but sincerity and connection with God. -       Spiritual growth isn’t measured by “how you feel” but by consistency, intention, and heart alignment with God. 2.    Spiritual Discipline and Seasons of Life -       Don’t be discouraged by disruptions; focus on God’s calling and let other routines adjust around it. -       Even when you feel like you’re “not getting anything out” of reading the Bible or praying, God is working in your heart and mind. 3.    Mental Health and Spiritual Life -       Anxiety and depression can have both physical and spiritual components. -       Struggles don’t always mean a lack of faith; caring for your body, managing stress, and addressing sin are all important. -       Seeking guidance and support from trusted leaders or counselors is a biblical and healthy way to navigate mental health challenges.

    Ep 69 - Laying Down Our Rights?

    What Did He Mean by That? 🎙 Episode Title: Laying Down Our Rights? 📅 Release Date: September 18th, 2025 🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, & Robby McKinney. Episode Summary: Today the conversation digs deep into the themes of sin,darkness, and the cultural narratives shaping young minds today. We explore how evolution’s worldview contrasts with the hope found in Christ, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the footholds sin creates in our lives. They emphasize that only Jesus can free us from sin and highlight the importance of repentance, accountability, and laying down our rights before God. Key Discussion Points: · Light vs. Darkness - How do cultural narratives (like evolution or materialism) contribute to hopelessness and darkness? - In what ways does the gospel bring light and purpose into those areas of despair? · Laying Down Our Rights - Jonathan willingly laid down his right to the throne for David. How does that mirror what Christ did for us? - What “rights” or entitlements are hardest for you to surrender to God? · God Giving Us Over - Romans 1 describes God “giving people over” to their sin. What does that mean? - How does God’s presence in our lives restrain sin and preserve hope? Takeaways: 1. Evolutionary thinking promotes darkness, while Christianity calls us to love and serve. 2. Sin gives the enemy a foothold, but Jesus alone can free us. 3. Jonathan’s humility in preferring David over himself mirrors Christ’s sacrifice and calls us to lay down our rights.

    Ep 68 - How Do I Break Free from the Echo Chamber?

    What Did He Mean by That? 🎙 Episode Title: How Do I Break Free from the Echo Chamber? 📅 Release Date: September 11th, 2025 🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, & Robby McKinney. Episode Summary: In this episode of What Did He Mean by That, PastorChris Cali unpacks the story of David and Goliath in his message Dare to Defy the Doubters. The conversation dives into how Israel became trapped in an echo chamber of fear, doubt, and faithlessness and how David stood out as a light of faith in the midst of darkness. The team discusses how echo chambers shape our lives today, the danger of faith being beaten into submission, and why repentance and faith are inseparable. Together, they remind us that the real battle isn’t just against our struggles, but in choosing faith and looking to Jesus the true light who overcomes darkness. Key Discussion Points: · Echo Chambers Today - What are some “echo chambers” we can get stuck in (social media, negativity, sin habits, fear, culture)? - How do these echo chambers affect our faith and perspective of God? · David’s Perspective vs. Israel’s Fear -  Why was David able to see the situation differently from the rest of Israel’s army? - How can we train ourselves to “see with God’s perspective” in our own struggles? · Faith and Repentance - Pastor Chris emphasized that true faith always comes with repentance. Why do you think these two go hand in hand? - Where might unrepentant sin be fueling your personal echo chamber? Takeaways: 1. Echo chambers distort faith.Just like Israel only saw and heard Goliath’s taunts, we can get trapped in cycles of fear, negativity, or sin that drown out God’s truth. 2. Faith requires repentance.Real faith isn’t just believing—it’s turning away from sin and toward God. Repentance clears the noise so faith can grow. 3. The battle belongs to the Lord.David didn’t defeat Goliath in his own strength; he trusted God to win the battle. Our biggest victories will always come from God’s power, not ours.
