When a high-profile church issues a public apology, the ripples are felt across the entire body of Christ. But how do we process these moments without falling into cynicism or blind defense? In this episode, we sit down to discuss the recent confession sermon from Bethel Church through the lens of grace and truth.

We explore why true repentance is measured by fruit rather than just words, how to navigate the complexities of church hurt, and the importance of inspecting the "orchard" of a ministry with a heart of restoration. Join us for a careful, grace-filled conversation on what it looks like for a movement to turn, and how we can respond with discernment rather than judgment.

We live in a world of objective facts, yet we experience a world of subjective filters. This podcast explores the gap between ontological truth—what things actually are—and our perceived reality. While our beliefs may not change the nature of the universe, they radically transform our ability to relate to it, dictating how we connect, collide, and experience everything around us.

Jesus didn't come to offer us salvation as a gift he gives. Jesus came to offer himself; He IS Salvation! Just like the Rich Young Ruler came to Jesus hoping to get something from Jesus, as though Jesus had commodities like peace and salvation to offer. Jesus IS our peace & salvation. We pray all who approach Jesus see Him is the gift and not simply the gift giver.

After a brief 6 month break, we are continuing our discussion regarding salvation, and what we are saved to, not just what we are saved from. We also welcome Aaron Albright to our conversation this week. Once again, our aim is awareness and the embracing of the wholeness offered to us in the person of Jesus. We hope theses conversations open doors to further conversations with you and others.

We share a bit about what Kingdom Collective is all about. Kingdom Collective has 3 primary focuses: Kingdom Encounter- our weekly worship gathering, Kingdom Leadership Network - where we desire to bridge the gap in our city, provide leadership development, fill ins and other church help; and Journey to Naioth- our discipleship school.

In this episode we discuss the call and transition of Kingdom Collective. Beautiful transition is more about being called to something, than it is being called away from something. The sending and going was beautifully done with such love and humility from the leadership both at Rise and Kingdom Collective. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Our heart is to help others get to the core of Yahweh's heart. These past 6 conversations about salvation may bring some unsettled feelings regarding the topic. You'll hear us mention words like tradition, religion and deconstruction. Our desire is not to make any of those things the focus. Our aim is awareness and the embracing of the wholeness offered to us in the person of Jesus. We hope theses conversations open doors to further conversations with you and others.

In this episode we continue in our discussion about salvation and other topics associated with it. You will often hear us point to intimacy with Yahweh as our aim, where sometimes our aim can be skewed by the religious traditions we have been given.
