Balancing Progress and Spirituality

In a culture obsessed with hustle, achievement, and endless self-improvement, it’s easy to get caught in the exhausting pursuit of keeping up with the Joneses. But is this really the path to peace and meaning?

In this episode, Andy, Steve, and Ben discuss "The Problem with Progress"—how the modern world defines our worth by what we do, what we build, or what we become. In contrast, the biblical worldview begins not with striving, but with surrender. Jesus' words on the cross—"It is finished"—offer a radical alternative to the achievement-driven mindset of our age.

Join us as we unpack the deep implications of grace in a performance-obsessed culture, and ask: What if worship, not progress, is the foundation of our identity?
