Join Zoe, Izzy, and Solomon as they launch an exciting new 30-minute Bible study series exploring the Psalms, beginning with Psalm 23, unpacking what it means to trust God as our shepherd, how He leads us beside still waters and through dark valleys, and why declaring the Lord is my shepherd means recognizing ourselves as sheep who are wholly dependent, vulnerable, and in need of His guidance, protection, and presence.

Join Izzy, Zoe, and Michelle for the final episode of the encounters with Jesus series as they explore the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, unpacking what it means to sit at the feet of Jesus in the midst of busyness, why Jesus gently corrects Martha not to condemn her but to call her higher, and how both serving and sitting are essential but one thing is needed above all else. This episode dives deep into the tension between Martha's hospitality and Mary's radical decision to sit at Jesus' feet as a student and disciple, revealing what it looks like to discern when to serve and when to rest, why Jesus calling Martha by name twice is deeply significant, and how the placement of this story right after the parable of the Good Samaritan shows us that loving our neighbour and sitting at Jesus' feet are not opposites but part of the same call to follow Him.

Join Zach and Zoe for an incredibly powerful exploration of the story of the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18, unpacking what it means to move from performance-based religion to surrendered discipleship, why Jesus invites us to examine what has taken the throne in our hearts, and how true eternal life is found not in what we do but in who we follow. This episode dives deep into the encounter between Jesus and a wealthy ruler who kept all the commandments since childhood but still lacked one thing, revealing what it looks like to let go of what we hold tightly so we can receive something far greater, and why Jesus disciplines us out of love rather than condemnation.
