In this episode of the Live for More Podcast, the pastors walk through 1 Timothy 1 and have an honest, thoughtful conversation about sound doctrine, sin, and God’s design for our lives. This includes addressing the topic of homosexuality with both truth and grace—the way Scripture calls believers to respond.

Have you ever struggled with doubt?

In this episode of the Live for More Podcast, the pastors walk through the story of Thomas in John 20 and talk honestly about doubt, skepticism, assurance of salvation, fear, and faith. This conversation is especially for anyone who has ever wondered, “Am I really saved?” or felt stuck in a season of spiritual uncertainty.

They talk about why isolation makes doubt worse, why God’s Word and God’s people are so important in seasons of uncertainty, and how weak faith does not mean fake faith. The episode also explores how fear can expose where our faith is weak, and why the promises of God are what anchor believers when doubt begins to rise.

If you’ve been wrestling with questions, fear, or assurance, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical help.

As Easter approaches, many people celebrate the resurrection—but often miss the deeper meaning of Holy Week.

We discuss:

• Why Good Friday is essential to understanding Easter
• How culture misunderstands Jesus today
• The growing epidemic of loneliness in modern society

Welcome to the Live for More Podcast.

In this episode, we talk about why the Church is meant to be better together. Too often, churches can become isolated, competitive, or overly protective of their own people and programs. But the gospel calls believers and churches to something bigger.

Through Titus 3 and other biblical principles, this conversation explores the value of church collaboration, the danger of scarcity thinking, and why true church health is about making disciples, not just growing numbers.

We also discuss:
- Why churches often struggle to work together
- The difference between healthy partnership and competition
- Why small churches still matter deeply in the kingdom of God
- How sending people out always creates mess, but also leads to harvest
- Why numerical size is not the best measure of church health

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a church truly healthy, this episode is for you.
