    Nov 3 2026
    What does exercise have to do with your faith? More than you might think! As Keith and Patrick continue our You Can Do Hard Things series, they explore why the Christian view of the body matters and what it means to steward the bodies God has given us. They unpack the biblical case for physical training, how exercise can become a keystone habit that supports your spiritual life, and how to know when caring for your body becomes an unhealthy obsession.

    Oct 27 2026
    Living a disciplined life is hard. But what if discipline is less about willpower and more about choosing what you want most over what you want right now?

Then, they tackle the first discipline: waking up early.

  • Hard Thing #3: You Can Risk Talking About Jesus

    Hard Thing #3: You Can Risk Talking About Jesus
    Oct 20 2026
    Does sharing your faith feel intimidating? Maybe you're afraid of being misunderstood, damaging a friendship, or stumbling over your words. But Jesus doesn't call us to wait until we're perfectly prepared or the conversation feels completely safe. He calls us to make disciples and he gives us the Holy Spirit to help us do what we couldn't on our own. In this fourth episode of our series, You Can Do Hard Things, Keith and Patrick unpack the fears that keep us from sharing our faith and offer practical ways to talk about Jesus. From praying for boldness and inviting friends into Christian community to sharing your personal story, you'll discover how to build bridges instead of walls and how to measure success by faithfulness, not the outcome. 🔔 Subscribe now so you don't miss an episode of this new series: You Can Do Hard Things. 📚 Part 1 of our book club is coming up on November 17!

  • Hard Thing #2: You Can Risk Failure

    Hard Thing #2: You Can Risk Failure
    Oct 13 2026
    We all experience the fear of failure. We worry about losing money, relationships, opportunities, respect, or simply discovering that we weren’t as capable as we thought we were. So we often build our lives around avoiding risk. But following Jesus gives us a different way to think about failure. In this third episode of our series, You Can Do Hard Things, Keith and Patrick explore why Christians can take wise risks without being controlled by the fear of what might happen. Looking at Jesus’s parable of the talents, they unpack what it means to see ourselves as stewards rather than owners of everything God has given us, and why playing it safe isn’t always the same thing as being wise. They also look at the risks Jesus himself took and how our security in Christ gives us the freedom to step out, trust God, and use what he’s given us, even when we don’t know how it will turn out. 🔔 Subscribe now so you don't miss an episode of this new series: You Can Do Hard Things. 📚 Have you started reading for book club yet?

  • Hard Thing #1: You Can Risk Being Disliked

    Hard Thing #1: You Can Risk Being Disliked
    Oct 6 2026
    We all want to be liked. We want to fit in, avoid awkward conversations, and know that the people around us approve of us. But if we’re honest, that desire can keep us from following Jesus fully. In this second episode of our series, You Can Do Hard Things, Keith and Patrick explore what the Bible calls the “fear of man” and why you can’t be both a people pleaser and a God pleaser. They talk about the everyday places we feel pressure to conform, from friendships and work to parenting, possessions, politics, sexuality, and even church. They point out biblical examples to explore what it looks like to stand firm when everyone else is bending the knee, and why our courage ultimately comes not from grit, but from the grace of knowing we are eternally secure in Jesus. 🔔 Subscribe now so you don't miss an episode of this new series: You Can Do Hard Things. 📚 Have you started reading for book club yet?

  • You Can Do Hard Things: Grace vs. Grit

    You Can Do Hard Things: Grace vs. Grit
    Sep 29 2026
    We used to do hard things. But somewhere along the way, something’s changed. We’ve been tamed. Our lives are filled with easy buttons. And deep down, we all know the truth: an easy, comfortable life is not a satisfying life. In our NEW series, You Can Do Hard Things, Keith and Patrick share the secret to making comfortable people tough, fearful people courageous, and undisciplined people disciplined: imitating Christ by the power of God’s grace. In this kickoff episode, Keith and Patrick ask: Have we let comfort tame our faith? They explore what it looks like to count the cost of following Jesus, embrace the hard things God calls us to, and stop relying on our own willpower. Because doing hard things isn’t about our own grit, but his grace. 🔔 Subscribe now so you don't miss an episode of this new series: You Can Do Hard Things. 📚 Have you started reading for book club yet?

  • Unlock Fifteen: The Bible Invites Surrender

    Unlock Fifteen: The Bible Invites Surrender
    Sep 1 2026
    We've spent this series learning how to read the Bible: understanding its big story, its genres, its historical context, and how to apply it to our lives. But eventually, reading the Bible brings us to one, heart-level question: Do I actually trust God enough to submit to what he says? In this final episode of our Unlocking the Bible series, we talk about the tension that happens when God's Word presses against our preferences, our culture, and our understanding of what is right. Who gets the final say in your life: you or God? We'll explore the difference between treating the Bible like a menu and treating it like a prescription, and why surrender to God's Word isn't about tyranny, but about trusting that he truly has the words of life. 🔔 Subscribe now so you don't miss our next series, You Can Do Hard Things! 👀 We'll see you back here on September 29. 📚 Have you started reading for book club yet?
