The discussion opens with a fun take on country music and its role in shaping memories. Delving into worship songs, meaningful lyrics are highlighted as powerful messages of faith. Andy shares personal connections to specific songs, revealing struggles with authenticity and faith. The theme of trusting God amid uncertainty is explored, illustrating how our limited understanding shapes our relationship with Him. Listeners are encouraged to embrace surrender, letting go of worry and resting in divine care.

Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we’re truly depending on.

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what’s going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what’s going on in us.

The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

Clay Cooney, who leads the young adults ministry at North Point Community Church, explores profound themes of surrender versus survival. He shares his humorous journey from skeptic to fan of Survivor, revealing insights into human instincts under competition. Cooney challenges the survival of the fittest mindset, advocating for a compassionate approach inspired by Jesus. He discusses the transformative power of sacrifice, emphasizing that personal fulfillment comes from serving others, not self-preservation, inviting listeners to rethink what it means to truly live.

The problem isn’t what we love, it’s the order in which we love. Disordered love leads to disordered desires—and ultimately a disordered life.

All of us are tempted to take “good things” and worship them as the “ultimate things” that shape our purpose and identity.

Explore how God sees the whole story of our lives, not just isolated chapters. Discover lessons from Peter's journey of denial and reinstatement by Jesus, emphasizing that our failures do not define us. Experience the hope that comes from acceptance and the call to use our personal stories as a testament to grace. Andy Stanley invites reflection on how we can extend that grace to others and reminds us that everyone has a purpose beyond past mistakes.

The resurrection isn’t just a story—it’s the event that launched a movement and changed everything. If Jesus really rose from the dead, his resurrection has real implications for your life, your faith, and your future. In this Easter message, we talk about this event, why we celebrate it, and why it is the anchor for everything we believe.

Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.
