Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Open Invitation series with a powerful message from 1 Thessalonians 3 — Standing Firm in the Storm.

Joe, Adrienne, Tyler and Lauren talk about what it looks like to hold onto faith when life gets hard, exploring Paul’s encouragement to the Thessalonians to stay strong even in the face of opposition. From tests and losses to the everyday pressures that try to shake our trust, this conversation digs into how God uses difficulty to build endurance and deepen our dependence on Him.

Together, we unpack the difference between feeling stronger and feeling safer, the reality of spiritual opposition, and how our problems can become platforms that point others toward Jesus. Whether you’re in the middle of a storm or walking with someone who is, this episode reminds us that God’s faithfulness never wavers.

💡 Big Idea: Stand firm in your faith—your storm isn’t the end of your story.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re continuing our Get Ready series through 1 & 2 Thessalonians with a conversation called Walking the Talk.

Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Adrienne unpack what it really means for our lives to give credibility to our message—and whether the reverse can also be true: can the message we share add or take away credibility from our lives? Inspired by a listener’s deep “What the What?!” question, the team digs into Paul’s reminder that our purpose is to please God, not people, and explores how authenticity, gentleness, and hard work make the gospel believable.

They also discuss what it looks like to share life, not just words; to treat people as friends, not projects; and to align our walk with our talk in a culture that’s skeptical of faith.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to live out your faith in a way that draws others toward Jesus, this episode offers both challenge and encouragement to walk it out well.

💡 Big Idea: Live in a way that makes the gospel believable.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, we’re kicking off our new fall series — Get Ready: A Study on 1 & 2 Thessalonians.

Heather, Jamey, Ad, and Joe dive into Sunday’s message, unpacking the tension we all feel in today’s culture and how Scripture helps us navigate it with faith, love, and hope. From political divides and social suspicion to the call to live with Kingdom values, this episode gets real about what it means to infuse our culture rather than just influence it.

We also tackle a listener’s “What the Whaaattt?!” question inspired by an A.W. Tozer quote: if so much of what we do could continue without the Holy Spirit… how do we start doing work that requires Him?

If you’ve been feeling the weight of cultural tension or wondering how to hold onto hope when faith feels hard, this conversation will ground and challenge you.

💡 Big Idea: Live your faith. Love your world. Hold onto hope.
