• What does it mean to reintroduce the real Jesus to a generation navigating a whirlwind of cultural shifts?

His raw honesty and profound insights offer a heartfelt look into spiritual resilience and the healing power of faith.
• Our conversation with Shane delves into the evolving perceptions of Jesus and the Bible among today’s youth.

Join us for an Off the Cuff episode with some of our friends (Kevin, Jed, and Justin) in Greenville, SC!
In this OTC Episode:
• Have you ever felt the palpable presence of peace in a place where tension is expected to reign? A story of a pilgrimage to Israel was one such paradox, offering both a sanctuary from the world's chaos and a profound spiritual encounter.
• As Kevin, Jed, and Justin join us, we unpack the layers of divine purpose discovered in the Holy Land, contrasting the unity experienced there with the discord often felt back in America. Hearts and minds expanded with each step, and it is exciting to share how the land's scriptural and prophetic significance reshaped their faith.
• Our conversation takes an intimate turn as we learn about a momentous gathering in Jerusalem, a modern-day echo of the Last Supper's call to love and reconciliation. This was no ordinary meeting; it was a melting pot of leaders from different nations and faiths, all transformed by the radical love of Jesus. The stories shared from this encounter shine a light on the unifying love that can heal the deepest of societal divides. And as we weave through the narrative threads from John, Ephesians, and Revelation, you'll see how love is not just a command but the very fabric of our existence.
• To bring our reflections full circle, we look at how divine encounters spur us towards active service and love in our communities. A poignant moment in Fredericksburg, Virginia, serves as a testament to the power of prayer and the swift hand of change, reminding us that our identities are founded in something far greater than ourselves.

• As we sit with Matt, he opens up about his spiritual evolution that took him from a living room gathering to spearheading a ministry that reaches thousands through the digital cosmos. His journey is not just about numbers; it's about real, raw transformation and the struggle to stay humble and patient in a world that's constantly racing.

His latest book, "Every Day a Miracle," gives us a glimpse into an awe-inspiring medical miracle that reaffirmed his faith in the divine, prompting us to ponder the miracles that occur beyond the pages of scripture.
• Tackling the intricacies of miracles and suffering, this conversation takes a turn towards the eternal questions that haunt humanity. How do we reconcile the temporary nature of miracles with the ultimate reality of death? As Pastor Matt shares his experiences from the frontlines—celebrating life's extensions while mourning inevitable losses—we're reminded of the preciousness of our days and the historical perspectives of early Christians on sacrifice.
• When it comes to controversy within ministry, humility and grace take center stage as we discuss the importance of respecting differing views and the delicate balance of calling out harmful actions while guiding a congregation towards the light. It's a poignant reminder of the weight that spiritual leaders carry, a testament to the teachings of James on the stricter judgment faced by those who teach, and an invitation to join us as we explore the profound yet everyday impact of faith.

Join us as we sit Across the Counter from Author, Speaker, and Pastor Tullian Tchividijan.
In this ATC Episode:
• Embarking on a bold exploration of downfall and redemption, Tullian joins us to share the tumultuous narrative woven into his book "Carnage and Grace." His memoir, a raw depiction of personal dissolution and the formidable journey back to faith after an affair, offers profound introspection on what it means to rebuild amidst the remnants of a very public collapse.
• How being the grandson of Billy Graham impacted his thoughts on his own humbleness.
• As a pastor re-entering his pastoral duties, Tullian confronts the challenges of finding a publisher brave enough to embrace his transparent account and the nuances of guiding a congregation wrestling with the tensions of judgment and grace. His story is not only his own but a mirror reflecting the broader complexities within the Christian community as it grapples with its leaders' imperfections.
• Navigating the murky waters of sin and restoration, this episode illuminates the delicate dance of condemnation and compassion within the church. We reflect on the collective astonishment and struggles faced when leaders we hold in high esteem falter, examining our own responses to the fall from grace of figures like Ravi Zacharias whom he knew for many years. It’s a candid discussion on the paradoxical nature of the church as both a refuge for the broken and an arena for scrutiny, and how we might better foster a restorative environment.
Join us for this intimate and impactful conversation that resonates with anyone seeking to understand the rocky road to redemption!
