In this episode, we dive into the shocking story of Levi the tax collector and the scandal of grace.

You’ll hear how the gospel confronts our self-righteousness, stretches beyond our mistakes, and calls us into a new identity through Christ.

In Romans 12:7, Paul gives a simple but weighty command: “If it is teaching, then teach.” But what does that mean for us today? In this episode, Pastor Brandon unpacks the spiritual gift of teaching—what sets it apart from preaching, why clarity matters more than charisma, and how Spirit-empowered teaching leads to transformation, not just information. From Jesus as the Master Teacher to the responsibilities outlined in James 3:1, we’ll explore the power, weight, and fruit of biblical teaching, and discover how every believer can cultivate this gift to shape lives for Christ.

Home is more than a house—it’s where presence, belonging, and consistency are found. In this episode, Pastor Brandon shares a powerful message from Mark 2 about what it means to truly bring Jesus home. Just as the early church gathered in homes, our faith is meant to shape the atmosphere of our everyday lives, not just our Sundays. Discover how Christ’s presence can transform your household, why His priorities must take first place in family life, and how consistency in faith at home creates lasting impact. Ultimately, the One who asks us to bring Him home is preparing an eternal home for us. Learn how opening your heart and home to Jesus can change everything.

Serving isn’t an optional add-on to the Christian life—it’s central to following Christ. In this episode, Pastor Brandon walks through Romans 12:7 and the call to serve, drawing from Scripture and the wisdom of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. You’ll learn the biblical motives for service—obedience, gratitude, gladness, forgiveness, humility, and love—and see how even ordinary acts of service carry eternal weight. With examples from Scripture, daily life, and the powerful story of Henri Nouwen, this episode reminds us that service is both worship and discipline. Discover how God shapes us, strengthens us, and uses us when we embrace the joy of serving.

Few gifts stir more questions — or controversy — than speaking in tongues. Is it just emotional expression, or a supernatural gift from God? In this episode, Pastor Brandon explores what the Bible really teaches about tongues and interpretation. You’ll discover the difference between a personal prayer language and the public gift meant to build up the church (1 Cor. 14), why Paul practiced tongues “more than all of you,” and why interpretation matters for unbelievers and believers alike. With clarity, stories, and biblical truth, this conversation will help you move past confusion and see tongues as a gift that brings strength, order, and deeper intimacy with God.

In this episode, we explore the moment when Jesus met a leper in the middle of his brokenness—and touched him before he was healed. Drawing from Mark 1, we uncover what triggered Jesus’ fiery compassion, why His touch came before the cleansing, and how this moment reveals the deeper reality of healing for both body and soul. Whether you’re seeking physical restoration, freedom from inner wounds, or encouragement in your faith, this message will remind you that Jesus meets us right where we are—and that the greatest healing begins within.

What exactly is prophecy — prediction of the future, or something more? In this episode, Pastor Brandon unpacks the biblical gift of prophecy, showing how it’s meant to strengthen, encourage, and comfort believers (1 Cor. 14:3). From foretelling future events to forthtelling God’s truth into dry situations, prophecy has always pointed people closer to God. You’ll discover why Paul urged the church to eagerly desire this gift, how to recognize real prophecy from abuse, and how to declare God’s Word over your own life. If you’ve ever wondered whether God still speaks, this conversation will stir your faith and open your heart to hear His voice today.
