Made For Mondays | The Bible for Grown-Ups: Why Do People Matter?

What if some of our biggest questions about the Bible are actually pointing us toward an even bigger question: What does God say about us?

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue The Bible for Grown-Ups by talking about Genesis, creation, questions about science and faith, and what it means to be made in the image of God. We’ll explore where we find our worth—and what our strongest reactions might reveal about what we’ve allowed to define us.

In this episode:

• Can questions actually deepen our faith?
• What is Genesis really trying to tell us?
• Who gets to determine our worth?
• What does it mean to be made in God’s image?
• What do our strongest emotional reactions reveal about us?

Plus, we’ll talk about this week’s Bible Reading Challenge and what stood out from the weekend.

JOIN US SUNDAY!
Be sure to share this episode with someone who’s asking questions about faith, the Bible, or what it means to follow Jesus.

Join us at 9:00 & 10:45 AM, or watch online Sunday at 1 PM.

Until then, don’t forget, we’re here for good — Go BE LOVE!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Nick, Doug, and Corey as they kick off The Bible for Grown-Ups, a series exploring the story, history, and questions behind the Bible.

After catching up on the weekend and talking about the Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives into Sunday's message about how Christianity began—not with a finished Bible, but with people who believed they had encountered the risen Jesus. Together, they explore eyewitness testimony, honest questions about Scripture, and why Jesus remains at the center of our faith.

In this episode:

• Weekend highlights
• Bible Reading Challenge discussion
• How our personal Bible experiences shape the way we read Scripture
• What Luke tells us about eyewitnesses and the early church
• Why “something happened” is at the heart of Christianity
• How questions about the Bible can lead us back to Jesus
• Why reading John can be a great place to start when exploring faith

If you've ever had questions about the Bible, struggled with a difficult passage, or simply wondered where it all came from, this conversation is for you.

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue The Bible for Grown-Ups. We'd love to see you and your guests! If you can't make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1:00 PM.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Pastors Doug, Jamey, and Lauren as they unpack one of life's biggest questions: Am I actually living the life I'm meant for?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on this week's Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives deeper into Sunday's message from Ephesians 2:10. Together, they discuss how our purpose flows from our identity in Christ, why we don't have to earn God's approval, and how the life God has prepared for us is often found in the ordinary opportunities already in front of us.

In this episode:

• Weekend highlights
• Bible Reading Challenge discussion
• Why purpose begins with identity, not achievement
• Living from grace instead of striving for approval
• Finding purpose in everyday moments
• Serving from God's love, not for God's love
• Taking the next faithful step Jesus is calling you to today

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue our journey together. We'd love to see you and your guests, or you can watch online on YouTube at 1:00 PM.

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on the Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation shifts from dollars and budgets to something much deeper.

• Why money conversations can feel uncomfortable
• The difference between loving money and using it well
• How generosity forms our faith
• Personal stories of God's faithfulness through giving

Made for Mondays

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey and Greg as they continue our Campfire Stories series with one of the biggest questions of faith: Does it really matter what you believe?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on this week's Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives into Sunday's message about truth, sincerity, and Jesus' claim to be the only way to the Father. Together, they wrestle with how to hold deep conviction and genuine compassion at the same time, especially when the people we love believe differently than we do.

In this episode:

• Weekend highlights
• Bible Reading Challenge discussion
• Why sincerity and truth aren't always the same thing
• How relationships shape the way we think about belief
• Why the question of truth has always mattered
• What Acts 17 teaches us about engaging people with both grace and conviction
• How to represent Jesus with humility, courage, and love

This week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Doug, Jamey, and Adrienne as they kick off our new summer series, Campfire Stories. Before diving into Sunday's message, they catch up on the weekend, discuss highlights from the Bible Reading Challenge (Job & Acts), and explore what it really means to share our faith.

Doug reminds us that sharing Jesus isn't about winning arguments—it's about having genuine conversations. Together, the team discusses why faith conversations can feel intimidating, how Romans 10 reshapes our view of evangelism, and why "beautiful feet" simply means being willing to go where God has already placed us. They also share practical ways to bring Jesus naturally into everyday conversations without making them feel forced.

In this episode:

• Weekend catch-up
• Bible Reading Challenge (Job & Acts)
• Why faith conversations often feel awkward
• The context behind Romans 10 and "everyone who calls on the Lord"
• What it means to have "beautiful feet"
• How to make sharing your faith relational instead of confrontational
• One simple way to talk about Jesus this week

Join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM for our special Family Service as we continue Campfire Stories. Bring your family, invite a friend, and we'll see you there!

What stood out to you from this week's reading?

Nehemiah, Esther & Acts

This week we wrapped up Losing Myself with Moses' final view of the Promised Land in Deuteronomy 34. Jamey challenged us to stop winning at the wrong things and invest our lives in what lasts: people, a passion for Jesus, and a legacy that anchors souls long after we're gone.

Q1: Lasting Influence

What's a phrase, lesson, or habit someone taught you years ago that still shapes your life today?

Q2: Winning at the Wrong Things

Jesus warns that it's possible to gain the world and lose your soul.

When have you caught yourself keeping score by standards Jesus never asked you to measure?

Follow-up: How do you distinguish between a good goal and an ultimate goal?

Q3: Trusting God's Timeline

Moses saw the promise fulfilled but didn't enter it himself.

What does his story teach us about trusting God when His timing is slower than we'd prefer?

Follow-up: How does that challenge our expectation for instant results?

Q4: Legacy vs. Inheritance

The big idea was:

"An inheritance fills their hands; a legacy anchors their soul."

How does that change what we're trying to leave behind for others?

Follow-up: Where do you feel the tension between providing and discipling?

Q5: Living a Legacy

Whether we realize it or not, someone is watching our lives.

Who comes to mind when you think about the people God has placed in your wake?

Follow-up: How can we become a church that intentionally leaves a legacy of faith?

Q6: Passing It On

Moses invested in Joshua before his story ended.

What's one practical way we can pass along faith, wisdom, or encouragement this week?

Follow-up: Talk about some of the leaders who have grown up through Next Gen, LDP, and Believers over the years.

Our students are at camp this week—be praying for them and their leaders!

We'll be back Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we kick off our summer series, Campfire Stories. Together we'll tackle honest questions about faith, life, and culture around the campfire.

Don't forget: July 5th is our special Family Service at 10 AM (one service only).

Invite someone, share the episode, and join us in person or on YouTube at 1 PM.

Until then, don't forget—we're here for good.

Go BE LOVE!
