The Porch

We often find ourselves grappling with emotions and situations that leave us feeling out of depth. Some of us lead with our heads, while others are controlled by our hearts — but all of us need to find a healthier, gospel-centered way of navigating through our depression.

Many have sought the world's promises and turned up empty-handed, and while outright opposition to Christianity has slowly transitioned into curiosity, we as the Church don't have the luxury of sitting back. As Tyler Moffet walks us through 2 Timothy 3:10-4:8, we're reminded that we can't settle for fitting into a secular world — we're called to become consecrated followers of Jesus no matter the cost.

In a world where it's easy to find someone with a comfortable opinion rather than facing hard truths, it's more important than ever to identify and flee from any voice that contradicts Scripture. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 2 Timothy 3:1-9 to remind us not only to skillfully avoid the dangers of false teachers, but also to closely follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

You can’t control when a crisis comes, but you can control your composure when it does. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 2 Timothy 2:14-26 to show us how God instructs us to live honorably in a dishonoring day.

A lot of predictions about the end times have been swirling around, and while no man knows the time or day of Jesus' return, Scripture instructs us to live as if the end is near — because it is. This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek walks us through 1 Peter 4:1-11 to show us how to live with urgency as believers.

When Christians begin to look and respond like everyone else, it's worth asking, "Where have the strong people gone?" This week, Tyler Moffett leads us through 2 Timothy 2:1-13 to show us what Paul describes as the way to godly strength.

In this conversation, Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor of The Village Church, shares insights on the importance of understanding God's true nature. He emphasizes that we must avoid the temptation to mold God in our image and instead recognize His holiness. The discussion features the interplay between God's love and holiness, highlighting how Jesus’s sacrifice offers forgiveness and transformation. Matt also addresses past shame and guilt, encouraging listeners to embrace grace and the assurance of God's covenant.

How much does chemistry matter? Whether sparks are flying or feelings are falling flat in your relationship, the Bible actually has a lot to say about the types of love, and the answer might surprise you. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Scripture to show us God's design for the way we feel and express love.

What do you do when it's time to call it quits? This week, Kylen Perry gives us a biblical framework for breaking up with grace. While the Bible doesn’t give us a detailed blueprint on how to break up with our significant other, it goes into great detail on how to treat one another in all circumstances.
