In this episode, we unpack how to recognize what’s good, what’s neutral, and what’s broken when it comes to what we're being fed by our culture. From music and movies to concerts and comedy, Christians often live between two extremes: mindlessly consuming or harshly withdrawing. But the Bible gives us a better way. God is the giver of joy, creativity, and beauty, yet He also calls us to wisdom, holiness, and discernment.

QUESTIONS:

1. Do you tend to mindlessly consume culture or harshly reject it?
2. Where have you seen common grace in music, movies, or art...even from non-believers?
3. What filters or boundaries could help you honor God while still enjoying creativity?

We navigate suffering with faith, honesty, and the ministry of presence. Lament is not the enemy of faith—it’s a vital path to healing. We share stories from our life and leadership to help you hold onto joy, lean into God, and walk others through their pain with grace.

QUESTIONS:

1. How do you usually respond when you find yourself in a hard place?

2. Who has ministered to you in your hard seasons, and how can you do the same for

others?

3. What does it look like to “trust fall” into Jesus in the middle of pain?

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of abuse and other mature topics.

We talk about the intimate and sacred gift of sex. Our culture tells us all kinds of lies about sex,
and we need to replace those lies with the beauty of God’s design for sexuality within marriage.
Our goal isn’t shame—it’s healing, clarity, and joy in following God’s plan.

QUESTIONS:
1. How have past experiences, trauma, or cultural messaging shaped your understanding of
sexuality?
2. Why does viewing sex as a gift or a right shape the way couples enjoy it?
3. In what ways can you make sexual intimacy in marriage an act of worship?
