What happens when our worship songs ring hollow? This week, we confront the voices of Amos and Micah who challenge us to let justice roll like a river. From prophetic discomfort to modern-day injustice, we reflect on what it means to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. This episode is a call to live into God’s dream—not someday, but now.

Can rest be a form of resistance? This episode centers on the covenant at Sinai and God’s radical blueprint for a just society. From Sabbath to Jubilee, we explore the divine rhythms meant to disrupt empire thinking and restore human dignity. Through the lens of scripture, we ask: what does it mean to live like we’re truly free? And what debt might God be calling us to release?

What if the wilderness isn’t punishment but preparation? In this episode, we journey with the Israelites as they leave Egypt only to find themselves stuck in the in-between—hungry, anxious, and wondering if freedom is worth it. Join us as we explore how God provides just enough through manna, reshaping our imaginations around trust, rest, and community. This is not just survival—this is spiritual reformation. Welcome to Wilderness School.

What if the Exodus didn’t begin with miracles—but with a moan? In this episode, we explore how liberation begins not with thunder but with a whisper—God hearing the cry of the oppressed and choosing to move through unexpected partners. Through the story of Moses, we uncover a God who listens, a God who sends, and a God who sings alongside us.

This isn’t just ancient history. Pharaoh still builds empires today, and the burning bushes still blaze—if we have the courage to turn aside and notice. Join us as we reflect on the power of collective liberation, the holiness of partnership, and why real worship looks a lot like resistance and song.

What if the story of faith didn’t begin with sin—but with blessing? In this episode, we return to the very beginning, not to focus on what's broken, but to rediscover what’s beautiful. Before commandments and consequences, there was a garden. A Creator who delights, not dominates. A humanity invited not to conquer, but to co-create.

This week, we unpack what it means to be made in the image of love—not fear. We challenge the stories of empire that still shape our theology, politics, and self-worth, and instead reimagine life through the lens of original blessing, harmony, and belonging. You are not a mistake. You were made for this.

After nine chapters of thunderous judgment, Amos ends not with doom, but with a vision of divine restoration. In this episode, we explore the final verses of Amos 9, where tents are rebuilt, outsiders are welcomed, and the hills overflow with sweet wine. Pastor Mike unpacks how God’s justice isn’t about punishment for punishment’s sake, it’s about making room for new life. You’ll hear stories of cracked soil, ancient feasts, and radical inclusion that invite us to reimagine what God’s abundance looks like in our world today. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can build with the broken, you’ll want to hear this.

What happens when we get too comfortable? In this week’s episode, we explore Amos 6 and 8 and the haunting warning of a “famine of hearing the word of the Lord.” Through powerful storytelling, a personal encounter in a boutique hotel, and a snorkeling trip gone adrift, this message challenges us to examine where comfort might be dulling our compassion. You’ll discover how spiritual complacency creeps in—not with dramatic rebellion, but with quiet distraction—and why justice and hunger for God are inseparable. If you've ever felt numb, distant, or spiritually starved, this one’s for you. Wake up. Lean in. Let hunger lead you home.

What if the real danger to our faith communities isn’t conflict—but the silence we keep to avoid it? This week’s message challenges the illusion of peace that comes from “being nice,” exposing how that desire for cohesion can actually cost us connection, authenticity, and justice. As we continue our journey through Amos, we hear the uncomfortable but necessary truth: God isn’t impressed by worship that avoids the hard conversations. In a season filled with transition, tenderness, and truth-telling, this episode invites us to reject performance and embrace prophetic honesty—in our churches, our families, and our everyday lives. If you've ever felt the tension between keeping the peace and speaking your truth, this one is for you.
