The Bible is filled with stories of great feats of faith, courage, and strength. But have you ever wondered about the rest of the story?

Join host Jerrad Lopes as he explores the idea that God gives these everyday opportunities in order for us to practice obedience and faithfulness in the little things.

When something is unsettled in our heart, we do whatever we can to mask it. Work harder, drink more, yell louder, buy something new. Anything to cover up the noise of our soul. We are convinced that if we can make enough noise, the tugging of the Holy Spirit will go away. At the root of our noise-making-efforts is shame. We believe that when things get quiet, we will hear the sound of a sinful heart. And the truth is, you’re right. Your heart is sinful and wicked, deserving of punishment and shame. But there is good news; The Gospel & the fact that God has a reputation of engaging broken and messy people with grace. In this episode, join host Jerrad Lopes as he talks about entering into 2018 with a new mercy and what that practically looks like for us as husbands and dads.

You don't need more popular parenting tips, you need Jesus. You need to be reminded of the Gospel. Understanding what God has done in the world and in your life will deeply change the way you act as a parent and husband.

Jesus is offering you a steak dinner, but too often we settle for mac n' cheese.

Jesus isn't like anyone else in your life. He isn't like your friends. Or your boss. Or you dad. He is different. He is gracious and compassionate. He is slow to anger and abounding in love and faithfulness. In this episode, Jerrad gives us a glimpse into a side of Jesus that many of us have never seen before.
