    Ep 78 - Bitterness, Distance, and the Heart?

    What Did He Mean by That? 🎙 Episode Title: Bitterness, Distance, and the Heart? 📅 Release Date: November 20th, 2025 🎧 Host(s): Pastor Kip Gingrich, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Cara Heimerle, and Robby Mckinney.   Episode Summary: In this episode, the team sits down with Pastor Kip to unpack his weekend message from 1 Samuel, focusing on the broken relationship between David and Michal. What began as love and loyalty eventually decayed into bitterness, distance, and a hardened heart. Together, the conversation explores how this same slow drift can happen in marriages and friendships and what it looks like to return, rebuild, and recenter our lives on Him.   Key Discussion Points: · What distractions pull us away from the people we love? · Why is pride dangerous in relationships? · How can we avoid expecting others to give us what only God can?   Takeaways: 1. Bitterness doesn't appear instantly — it forms slowly over time through neglect, distraction, and drifting priorities. 2. Distance in a relationship is often spiritual before it’s relational. When God becomes less central, everything else follows. 3. Unrealistic expectations of people will always disappoint. Only God can provide unfailing love, security, and identity.   Resources & Next Steps: 💒 Get Involved: Support your local church and its mission 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠ | YouTube 📩 Questions or Feedback? ⁠⁠⁠Contact us!⁠⁠⁠ 🗒️ Digital Notes: Notes 🔔 Follow us on social media: ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠YouTube⁠

    Ep 77 - Ambition on the Wrong Wall?

    What Did He Mean by That? 🎙 Episode Title: Ambition on the Wrong Wall? 📅 Release Date: November 13th, 2025 🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, and Robby Mckinney.   Episode Summary: In this week’s episode, we dive deeper into the story of David and Saul from 1 Samuel, exploring the difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition. Saul’s jealousy and hunger for power stand in stark contrast to David’s humble trust in God’s timing a lesson that challenges all of us to check what wall our ladder is leaning against. From careers and parenting to ministry and marriage, the hosts reflect on how ambition can either honor God or subtly become an idol that pulls our hearts away from Him. They also discuss how to identify when ambition begins to harm our relationships with God, our spouse, or our kids and how repentance, communication, and faith can realign our hearts.   Key Discussion Points: · Ambition isn’t sinful — selfish ambition is: God gives us desires and drive, but they must be directed toward His purposes. · Selfish ambition often costs relationships: sometimes at home before it shows up at work. · Faith over striving: Trust that God can open doors your effort never could.   Takeaways: 1. What’s an area of your life where ambition is strongest right now? How can you tell if it’s godly or selfish? 2. Who (or what) might be getting “stepped on” in your pursuit of success? 3. How can you invite your spouse, kids, or close friends into your ambitions rather than making them compete with them?   Resources & Next Steps: 💒 Get Involved: Support your local church and its mission 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Apple Music⁠⁠⁠ | YouTube 📩 Questions or Feedback? ⁠⁠⁠Contact us!⁠⁠⁠ 🗒️ Digital Notes: Notes 🔔 Follow us on social media: ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠YouTube⁠

Episode Summary: In this episode, the team continues the conversation from the weekend message, Navigating Toxic Relationships.They look at how David’s relationship with Saul teaches us to live above relational toxicity through humility and a right relationship with God. From fear and pride to humility and peace, the discussion dives deep into how our faith anchors us even when relationships with others become difficult and what it means to respond like David instead of reacting like Saul. Key Discussion Points: · Toxic Relationships and Spiritual Health: Having a rightrelationship with God doesn’t magically fix every relationship around you. · Living Above the Toxicity: How David refused to let Saul’sbehavior dictate his peace, choosing instead to find stability in his relationship with God. · The Power of Humility: True humility isn’t self-deprecation.It’s recognizing who we are before God, and what we’re not owed from others. Takeaways: 1. Check your heart for selfish ambition: are you striving for success or stepping on others to reach it? 2. It’s okay and biblical to set boundaries when relationships become abusive or destructive. 3. Like David, let your relationship with God anchor you above the chaos.

Episode Summary: In this episode of What Did He Mean by That? we unpackthe weekend sermon on experiencing real spiritual transformation.

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.
