Jesus Is the Main Character
February 25, 2019 02:21In the spirit of Christmas, Colton Shrader highlights the importance of keeping Jesus central to our stories. Unless we understand the weight of the Christmas story and how it fits into Scripture as a whole, we cannot fully understand how Jesus operates and how vital our relationship with Him can be.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
November 29, 2018 05:41The death of Jesus on the cross deeply illustrates the Father's love for his children. For one, Jesus shows heavy compassion and grace when he's surrounded by mockers and shamed by his people. The events following his crucifixion also speak of the intimate, cosmic love of Jesus, prompting us to seek his love, forgiveness, and healing.

November 03, 2018 03:15John the Baptist was a radical, God-fearing man, and he was not interested in making himself more well-known. Heather Erickson emphasizes the value of leaving a legacy and describes how John used his life to make a lasting impact and make Jesus as famous as possible.
It's Always Gospel Season
April 25, 2018 20:36Andy Erickson ends our semester and school year by getting back to the basics. The Gospel is always relevant to every person in every season. Our beliefs are tied to our actions. We cannot help but to live out what we believe, whether it's the true Gospel or another false gospel.
Missional Heart of God
April 13, 2018 15:15The missional heart of God is vital to our lives and the way we give to the people around us. If the anatomy of God's heart is sending love, and the physiology of God's heart is missions, then God's heart in us stirs a love of missional generosity inside of us.
Culture of Honor: Messaging
April 06, 2018 14:37Ohio Superintendent John Wootton finishes our series on having a culture of honor by discussing the topic of messaging. How do we resolve conflicts biblically?

Culture of Honor: Washing Feet
March 30, 2018 14:59Jay Seidler continues our series on having a culture of honor. A culture of honor is more than just having respect for each other, but it's elevating each other above ourselves. Honor is not zero-sum, it calls out the gold in people, and it protects relationships in the process.
The Invaluable Bible
March 23, 2018 14:29Great Lakes Chi Alpha Director Steve Brannan speaks on the value of the Bible. The Bible is bread for the soul, weaponry for the spirit realm, and a map for life. Most importantly, it tells us the story of Jesus from beginning to end.
Culture of Honor: Women
March 17, 2018 09:45Heather Erickson takes a deeper dive into a "Culture of Honor" by taking a look at the biblical role of women. The role of women in the world wasn't meant to be a place of submission but one of mutuality and equality. Women were meant to reign and fashioned so by God from the beginning. Jesus through the redemptive gospel is restoring their place.
Culture of Honor: Biblical Honor
March 17, 2018 09:30Andy Erickson kicks off our end-of-the-semester series on a Culture of Honor. We value honor because our heavenly Father values honor. Therefore, we must commit ourselves to developing a culture of honor.
Getting Out of the Boat
March 17, 2018 09:15Missionary Glen Smith challenges our thinking about a comfortable life in Jesus. Fear is what keeps us from fulfilling the potential that God has planned for our life. The end of our ability is the beginning of God's power, and His power is often in the middle of the storm, not in the boat.We must learn that the glory of God is found in our simplest steps of obedience.
#TooJuicy
March 17, 2018 09:00It's #TooJuicy! Andy and Heather Erickson share together a fresh perspective on healthy, godly relationships: How does our relationship effect the other person's relationship with the Lord or with others? It's not always about defining what's "not okay"; sometimes we need to know what's "okay" to do when it comes to relationships.

March 17, 2018 08:00Heather Erickson begins our series on Acts by giving an introduction to the book. The author, Luke, had two main goals: document the spread of the gospel through the Roman empire and put on full display the central role of the Holy Spirit in empowering the Church. He is still spreading the gospel, and He is still empowering you, the Church.
In the Family: Spirit
March 17, 2018 07:45Jay Seidler polishes off our series about Family and the gospel talking about the Holy Spirit. He plays a vital role in our adoption into the family of God. Because of His work, we are heirs who were chosen by God who belong in His family.
