Why You Don't Have a Real Friend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people have plenty of connections and no real friends. Ethan and Josh talk through the difference between a real friend and a deal friend, why insecurity keeps people from letting others in, and what it actually takes to build a friendship that lasts.__ This episode is a deeper dive into Sunday's message, "Who Will Join You in the Fight?" We go past what made it into the sermon and get into the parts that got cut, the practical side of finding real friends, and a few personal stories that d
Who Will Join You in the Fight? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not everyone who's close to you is actually for you. That's the hard lesson David learns after killing Goliath. Instead of universal celebration, his success creates both a lifelong friend and a dangerous enemy, almost overnight.This week, we look at 1 Samuel 18 and the story of Jonathan and Saul.

David and Goliath Isn't About You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people read David and Goliath backwards.You put yourself in David's shoes. You picture your Goliath and get ready to fight. But that's not the point of the story.In this episode, Josh and Ethan break down why David and Goliath isn't a story about you finding the courage to face your giants. It's a story about Christ. David isn't the hero. He's a shadow of the real one.They talk through what it means to read scripture as gospel centered instead of moralistic, why fear is really about concedi
