Crossroads Church

Some of us are praying too safe. Praying for comfort is nice sometimes, but we aren't just made to pray that we don't get a nail in our tire or that our pizza is still hot when we get home. We're made to pray in a way that brings Heaven to earth. Things so big only God can do them. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how God doesn't just ask us to pray safe. He asks us to pray big. Recorded live at Crossroads in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Prayer is harder than scrolling headlines—and that’s exactly why it matters. Jesus didn’t run on hype or people-pleasing. He ran on prayer. He didn’t pray because He lacked power; He prayed because prayer was the foundation of His power. And He invites us to ask boldly, seek intentionally, and knock persistently. There are things God may only do if you ask. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

What happens when Christmas isn't picture-perfect? The discussion highlights Clark Griswold's humorous quest for an ideal holiday, revealing how our own perfectionism creates tension. Listeners are encouraged to embrace life's messiness, reflecting on the chaotic nature of the first Christmas. The joy of the season is rooted in recognizing our imperfections and needing grace. Ultimately, the podcast encourages personal growth, urging us to connect with Jesus, who welcomes the needy and transforms chaos into beauty.

Why does A Christmas Story still hit after all these years?  In Part 3 of Christmas at the Movies, we uncover why this classic connects so deeply and how it points to the heart of Christmas itself. Beneath the nostalgia is a powerful truth: God isn’t a taskmaster, He’s a giver. From childhood longing to the Christmas story in Scripture, this message explores what it means to trust a generous Father. What would you ask God for this Christmas if you really believed He was good?  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Fake can look pretty (ever heard of Instagram?), but sometimes our lives can feel like that fake Christmas tree in your living room. It's beautiful, perfect, and also..sterile and lifeless. This week, Kyle Ranson uses the Bible (and also the classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas") to show us how God stepped away from perfection to chase something better: you.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

What’s your Christmas season strategy? All of us have one. Maybe you’re trying to wring every bit of cheer out of the holiday like it’s a tube of toothpaste, or maybe you have a schedule so bare it would make the Grinch jealous. But what if there’s a better way? This week, Alli shows us how strategies we find in the most unlikely of places (like, say, 2004's “Christmas with the Kranks”) points us back to a timeless truth of how to get the most out of this holiday.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio
