You've been given a gift for a reason. In this message on 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, Mark Clark unpacks the spiritual gifts God gives His church—and reminds us they exist for one mission: making disciples of people, not tasks.

In this episode of the Bayside TheBible Study Podcast, Dena and the Curt dig into John chapter 7, where Jesus teaches at the Feast of Tabernacles and clashes with the religious leaders over the one question that drives everything: by what authority does he speak? Through a memorable "babysitter" analogy, they unpack how Moses and the law were always meant to point to Jesus, why the authentic Jesus creates deep division among people, and how the festival's water-and-rain imagery sets up his stunning claim to be the living water. Along the way they offer practical takeaways for studying the Old Testament feasts and living faithfully in a divided world.

Artist, author, and mom of six boys Ruth Chou Simons joins us to talk about finding God in the ordinary, unglamorous middle of everyday life. We get into her surprisingly freeing unpopular opinion (anyone can wear any color), why she's learned to "look up" instead of down, how marriage and motherhood have shaped her faith, and the heart behind her new book This Moment Matters. 

In this episode of Change the Odds, Kevin Thompson shares the heart behind his new book, The Creation of Us, and explores what it takes to build a thriving marriage. Discover how healthy relationships flourish when both individuals—and the marriage itself—are intentionally nurtured.

Fan-favorite guest Amy Zielsdorf joins us to tackle the question that keeps us all up at night: what am I doing with my life? We dig into why "if it's hard, you shouldn't do it" is terrible advice, how work and rest were always meant to go together, and why your primary calling isn't your job at all. Whether you're grinding too hard or quietly wondering if you're wasting your one wild and precious life, this one's for you.
