You want to know God's will. You're just afraid you'll miss it.

Should I propose or wait? Take the offer or stay put? Christian college or state school? Have another kid, or are we done? Saying yes to Jesus was the easy part. It's every question after that one that keeps you up at night.

The #1 thing people have asked about is understanding God's will. So in Week 1 of our new series, How to Know God's Will, Brad steps into teaching mode and zooms all the way out for us.

Maybe you're so afraid of the wrong decision that you haven't made one at all. You've asked for a sign and heard nothing back. You're still waiting on a burning bush.

Or maybe the fear runs the other way. You already made the call, and now you wonder if it was the wrong one. There was one right person, one right school, one right city, and somewhere back there you missed it. Ever since, it's felt like you've been living in plan B.

Either way, this one's for you.

Because God never told you to find His will. He told you to understand it. And His will was always pointing to a Person. Look to Jesus, and God works all things, even the ones you got wrong, for good.

God's not asking you to crack a code. He's asking you to open a book.

Love God. Then choose freely.

It never looks like a trap. It looks like a deal.

No payments for 12 months. The credit card you said you'd pay off "next month," fourteen months ago. The car payment that's bigger than your rent. You and your spouse don't fight about much, but lately every money conversation comes with tension. And nobody would ever guess, because you're carrying it alone.

When we asked what you wanted to hear about, so many of you said the same thing: help, my finances are in trouble. So in Week 4, the final week of our series, You Asked For It, Brad opens one of the most famous stories Jesus ever told: a son who wanted it all now and ended up jealous of what the pigs were eating. With a real snare, a study on what a credit card does to what you're willing to spend, and a father who did something no man his age would do in public.

And this isn't a giving message. No offering pitch. This one is just for you.

If you've ever made a money decision you'd give anything to take back, this is for you.

If you've ever found yourself in a habit, a relationship, or a secret you never meant to get this deep into, this is for you.

If you've ever said "I'm fine" while you were drowning, this is for you.

And if you're so deep you've stopped believing there's a way out, this is especially for you.

Because Jesus told this story for people who think they've gone too far. And the son never even got to finish his speech.

You're snared. But you're not stuck.

No matter how deep you are, you can get out.

Nothing has happened yet. Your body just thinks it has.

Your 16-year-old is 40 minutes late and her location won't load. The doctor's office wants to go over your results in person. Your boss texts "Can you meet at 4?" and you spend the next seven hours living out the worst case. Stress is pressure around you. Anxiety is pressure within you, and it always starts with two words: what if.

When we asked what you wanted to hear about, anxiety was near the top of the list. So in Week 3 of our series, You Asked For It, Brad opens the words Paul wrote from a prison cell, chained to a guard, not knowing if he'd live: "Do not be anxious about anything." With two buckets, a bag of ping-pong balls, and one very important word: but.

If you've ever lain awake at 2:47 a.m. rehearsing a conversation that hasn't happened, this is for you.

If you've ever been in the room with your kids but somewhere else in your head, this is for you.

And if you've ever been told a real Christian shouldn't feel this way, this is especially for you.

Because Jesus faced a tomorrow that wasn't a what-if. It was a what-is. And He walked right into it.

He drank His cup so you could cast yours.

Do today. Hand Him tomorrow.

You're not failing. You're carrying too much.

Maybe you took the day off and you're still tired. Or you came back from vacation and you're still tired. Someone asks how you're doing and "I'm good" comes out on autopilot, while everything underneath feels one more thing away from cracking.

When we asked what you wanted to hear about, stress was one of the most requested topics. So in Week 2 of our series, You Asked For It, Brad takes on the question behind so many tired answers: Why am I always stressed? With a physics equation, a check-engine light, and one empty Coke Zero can.

If you've ever felt guilty for being stressed, like it means your faith isn't strong enough, this is for you.

If you've ever said "let me check my calendar" when you really should say no, this is for you.

If you've ever tried to fix someone who didn't want to be fixed, this is for you.

If you've ever thought through every what-if in a future you can't control, this is for you.

If you've ever tried to pray your way out of something and wondered why nothing changed, this is for you.

And if the pressure in your life isn't going anywhere, the diagnosis, the layoff, the bills, this is especially for you.

Because stress isn't a sin. It's a signal. And Jesus never promised to take all the weight off you. He promised you'd never have to carry it alone.

Hard pressed on every side. But not crushed.

You're in a fight. Whether you meant to be in one or not.

The argument that went ten levels deeper than it should have. The thing someone said three weeks ago that's still running laps in your head. The fear that wakes you at 3 a.m. and won't tell you its name. That's not a bad week. That's a battlefield.

When we asked what you wanted to hear about, one topic won by a long shot. So in Week 1 of our new series, You Asked For It, Brad takes on spiritual warfare — without the Hollywood version, and without the obsession.

If you've ever wondered whether the devil is actually real, or just a cartoon with a pitchfork, this is for you.

If you've ever known something was a lie and still couldn't shake it, this is for you.

If you've ever wondered whether what you're walking through is an attack, a consequence, or something God is up to, this is for you.

If you've ever had a dream, a moment in your house, or an experience you couldn't explain and never told anyone about, this is for you.

If you keep praying about the same thing and nothing seems to move, this is for you.

And if you've lost this fight for so long that you've started to believe it's just who you are now, this is especially for you.

Because Jesus went to a cross and didn't stay there. He went to a tomb and didn't stay there either. The battle that decides everything has already been won.

You don't fight for victory. You fight from victory.

You sent over 60+ relationship questions anonymously. We answered them.

Not the safe ones… the ones you'd ask a friend in a parking lot. Some of them were fun. Most of them were just real.

So for the last week of It's Complicated, Brad and Paige went through them one at a time, out loud, in front of everybody.

For singles: what to do with a season you didn't choose, and what most people get wrong about waiting.

For dating: where the line actually is. Not a feeling. A boundary.

For married: the questions people wrote down but would never say out loud, and a way to think through all of them.

And then one section for everyone, because some things don't belong to a season of life. The thing you keep promising to quit. The thing that was done to you. The parts we usually go quiet on.

We didn't go quiet. What the church avoids, the devil invades — and if we won't answer these, somebody else will.

Six weeks ago we said it: the world's way makes it complicated. God's way makes it clear.

This is what clear sounds like.

Sex is not gross. It's a gift.

But almost nobody hears it that way — because the church has largely gone quiet on it, and the world has not. So we grew up on a set of lies. It's just physical. It's not a big deal. It's private, it doesn't hurt anyone. And once those get you in, a second set keeps you there: this is just who I am now. I'm too far gone. If they really knew, they'd leave.

In Week 5 of our series, It's Complicated, Brad has the conversation most churches skip — for the hurting, for the trapped, and for the married.

It doesn't start with a rule. It starts with a $20 million violin, and something you would never do with it that you do with yourself all the time.

Then Brad goes after the strategy — because nobody arrives at adultery in one step, and the path there is far more predictable than you think. There's a reason the thing you did in private didn't stay private. And there's a reason your body can sign a covenant your mouth never said out loud.

Then he takes on soul ties. If you've been taught that every person you've slept with left an invisible cord attached to you, and that freedom depends on finding the right prayer to cut them, stay for this one. The cross was never a pair of scissors.

If you've been hurt, there is healing here. If you're stuck, there is a way out. If you're married, there is a standard worth building on — and it's not the one you were handed.

Because what the enemy came to sabotage, Jesus came to sanctify.

That is what some of you were. Past tense.

Naked and unashamed. That's still the goal.

Dating isn't your problem. Deciding is.

You don't have a shortage of options... you have an infinite amount of them. One more swipe. One more app. One more profile. And somewhere in there we stopped asking "is this someone I can build a life with?" and started asking "could there be someone better one swipe away?"

In Week 4 of our series, It's Complicated, Brad talks to singles about how to date God's way — and reminds married people they never actually stopped dating.

But before the how, hear this: singleness is not a curse to be solved.

It's an opportunity for impact. Paul wished everyone were single, because an unmarried person can move. Our God, named Jesus, changed the whole world — and He did it single. You don't need to find a person to find your purpose. So don't let a waiting season become a wasted season.

Then Brad gets practical. There's not one verse in the Bible about finding the right one, but there's a whole lot about becoming the right one — before Ruth and Boaz ever found each other, she was already a woman of noble character and he was already a man of standing. He throws out the old list and gives a new one. He names seven red flags, because red flags are warnings, not accessories — they don't turn green, they get more red. And he defines what dating actually is: a process to move through, not a status to sit in.

Because you never actually find the one. You choose someone. And the choosing is what makes them the one.

Love isn't a feeling you fall into. It's a choice you keep making.

That's what covenant is.
