How should Christians think about work, productivity, and the use of time?

In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Pastor Aaron Nicholson and Pastor Jesse Randolph are joined by Reagan Rose, Bible teacher and creator of Redeeming Productivity.

Together, they explore how Scripture shapes our view of diligence, rest, and stewardship, how productivity can become an idol, and how the gospel reorients our daily tasks, goals, and schedules for God’s glory.

This conversation offers both biblical clarity and practical encouragement for believers who feel overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure how to use their time well.

In this Christmas episode, we look at two striking responses to God’s announcement in Luke 1—Mary’s humble faith and Zechariah’s hesitant doubt.

Drilling into their stories helps us see what a right response to Christmas really looks like. Pastor Jesse Randolph and Pastor Aaron Nicholson explore why even sincere believers can struggle to trust God, why Mary’s submission is so remarkable, how discipline differs from humble questioning, and why the birth of Christ is ultimately about God’s faithfulness—not seasonal sentimentality.

We also consider how these responses shape our evangelism as we proclaim the good news of Christ’s coming.

What does it mean to care for creation in a truly biblical way?

Dr. Jonathan Moo—professor at Whitworth University with graduate degrees in both biblical studies and wildlife ecology—joins us to explore how Christians should think about the environment, stewardship, and our role in God’s world.

We talk about what Genesis really means by “subdue and rule,” how everyday actions like littering and waste reflect our hearts, whether hunting can honor the Lord, and how believers should approach climate debates without fear or extremes. We also consider how the church can model faithful stewardship while staying anchored to the gospel.
