We sit down with Middle School Pastor Erik Veker and Executive Pastor Matt Stowell to chat about Isaiah 55-56. In Isaiah 55–56, God invites the thirsty, the hungry, the broken, the outsider, and the one who feels unworthy to come and receive his grace freely. Yet our hearts are experts at finding reasons why the invitation couldn’t possibly include us: I don’t belong. I have nothing to offer. I’ve gone too far. God couldn’t really want me.

In this episode, we walk through Isaiah 55–56 and explore the heart objections we bring to God’s grace: and the surprising ways God responds to each one. His invitation isn’t based on what we can bring to the table, how good we’ve been, or whether we feel worthy. It’s based on who he is.

We sit down with Hayleigh Amey to unpack Isaiah 53 which gets us to the heart of the gospel: our sin is potent, but Christ’s blood is more powerful. We unpack the paradoxes of salvation: that salvation is achieved through humiliation, received through humility, and that suffering is the pathway to glory.

How can the suffering and rejection of one man accomplish salvation for many? And what does the humility of Christ mean for the way we receive the grace He has accomplished?

Join us as we look deeper into Isaiah 53 and the suffering servant who was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities, and ultimately exalted in glory.

In the middle of the battle with ALS, there are doubts, hopes, fears, unanswered questions, and moments of deep sorrow. In this episode, we sit down for a raw and honest conversation with a husband and wife from our church as they share their journey through an ALS diagnosis.

We talk about what it looks like to trust God when you don’t understand what He is doing, where to turn when fear and doubt creep in, and how the Lord meets us with comfort in the middle of suffering.
