On this episode, Christian & Kristen breakdown the Who, When, Where and Why of Paul and Timothy’s letter to the church in Colossae.
Christian Simas • Psalms
We can only make sense of life once we understand the story we belong to. As people seek to connect their experience to an epic story, many settle for making themselves the main character. What story are you living into, and who is the main character?
Christian Simas • Psalms
There is no easy way to say it: everyone will eventually die. We can try to minimize or trivialize it, but that doesn’t make it any less real or looming. However, the Bible is both honest and hopeful when it addresses the topic of death, and it calls us to do the same, preparing us to face this inescapable reality with courage and resolve. But how and what does that look like?
Christian Simas • Psalms
What is the future of humanity? Where is human history headed? The Bible envisions God’s grace and blessing extending to the ends of the earth, reaching every tribe, language, and people group and bringing salvation to the nations. This vision comes with an invitation to participate.
Christian Simas • Psalms
Every person has the ability to ruin their life, but not a single person can redeem it. What do you do when you’re in too deep, over your head? Where do you turn when your secrets catch up with you and threaten to dismantle your life completely? Is that too raw and real to ask? Apparently not so for the Bible.
Mike Sohn • Psalms
All of us long for security and rest. And while the world promises us rest and security in many things, it fails to truly deliver. Psalm 62 reveals how we can find true security and rest in God that can withstand the pressures of our age.
Christian Simas • Psalms
There are billions of stars within billions of galaxies. In such a vast universe, where humans are so small, how can we confidently say our lives matter at all and aren’t totally insignificant? What gives us meaning in environments that often feel dehumanizing?
Matthew Weiss • Psalms
Where can we find the freedom to be honest about our pain and the assurance that our pain will never have the last word?
Christian Simas • Psalms
Consider the question we ask people: “Where do you hope to be in five, ten, or twenty years?” The biblical authors, if asked the same, could not imagine a better future than being in God’s presence. But where is this, and how do we get there?
Christian Simas • Psalms
How do we live with stability when everything in life gets shaky? Where do we find peace in a frenzied world?
Christian Simas • Psalms
Religious or irreligious, everybody worships. And what we worship shapes who we are, for better or for worse. The question isn’t whether you worship. The question is what or who you are worshipping right now, and what its influence is upon you.

Does my life truly matter, and what will define the legacy I leave? Paul’s final words in 2 Timothy 4:6–8 show legacy is defined not by accomplishments or failures but by faithfulness: “I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I have kept the faith.” That truth calls us to long obedience in everyday acts of obedience, endurance to finish the race, faithful stewardship of the gospel, and confident hope in the crown of righteousness Christ awards to all who long for his appearing.

How do the desires of our lives shape the direction of our lives? And what do the things we love tell us about our spiritual condition? Join us this Sunday as we learn from 2 Timothy about the danger of disordered loves and how the gospel reorders the desires of our hearts.
