Many of us grew up with a reductionist view that the gospel is solely about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. While these are central to the gospel message, we expand the definition by exploring Jesus’ own words in Mark 1, verses 14-15, where He proclaims, “The kingdom of God has come near.”
We explore how the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are not separate from the coming of the kingdom but are the very means by which God’s kingdom breaks into our world. This kingdom is a present reality that transforms our lives here and now, offering us new life, hope, and purpose.
This conversation challenges us to move beyond a limited understanding, celebrating the gospel as both the victory over sin and death and the announcement of a new way of living. Join us as we rediscover the depth and beauty of the gospel and how it shapes every moment of our lives, thus erasing the secular and sacred divide. It is all His.

What’s the Greatest Evidence for the Existence of God? | #12
Zach gets personal, sharing a pivotal moment in his life when he wrestled with doubt and faith — a season shaped in part by the work of his guest, Dr. William Lane Craig. Dr. Craig, a leading philosopher and theologian, has spent decades exploring the intersection of faith and reason. Together, they dive into deep questions, unpacking apologetics, the Kalam cosmological argument, and what it means to hold “properly basic beliefs.”
With honesty and wisdom, they discuss the problem of sin, the pursuit of truth, and the way beauty reveals the divine. Whether you’re questioning, curious, or just craving a deeper understanding of faith, this conversation offers both intellectual clarity and heartfelt encouragement. Tune in for a thought-provoking journey that invites you to see faith in a whole new light.

This episode cuts through the noise, addressing critical theory, the traps of standpoint epistemology, and the role of local communities in finding real direction. With humility as the starting point, they point to Jesus Christ as the unshakable foundation for living with confidence and purpose in uncertain times.

Resolutions That Truly Transform | #10
Resolutions can feel overwhelming — do we even keep them? Too often, they turn into a checklist rather than something that truly changes us. Zach, Jill, and Brandon explore how resolutions can go deeper, becoming rhythms that draw us closer to God and help us experience His goodness.
From funny stories to an honest recount of a heated fight, this episode gets real about the struggles of busyness, the power of Sabbath, and how confession transforms our hearts more than any legalistic list ever could.
If you’re tired of resolutions that feel empty, join us for a conversation about pursuing resolutions that glorify God and allow Him to work through your heart.

The conversation turns to what truly transforms everything — Emmanuel, God with us. The family shares what this truth means to them, reflecting on how the power of God's presence fills their lives with joy that far exceeds the excitement of gifts.Â
To wrap up the episode, enjoy a touching performance of "Carolina Christmas," a special song written by Zach’s oldest children. Prepare to laugh, reflect, and sing along with the family as they celebrate the true spirit of the season.
