When does remaining silent demonstrate spiritual maturity, and when does silence allow harmful behavior within the church to continue?” That question gives the episode its depth, because humility isn’t always silence, and courage isn’t always confrontation. When someone within the church speaks falsely about us, especially while we’re faithfully pursuing God’s calling, our instinct may be to confront, correct, or retaliate. But does humility require silence? Does defending ourselves mean we’re acting out of pride? The real question is: How do we stand courageously for truth without allowing hurt to turn into retaliation? In 1 Peter 2:23, Jesus shows us that refusing to retaliate is not weakness. He entrusted Himself to the One who judges righteously. The Lion of Judah was neither powerless nor passive. He demonstrated that strength and humility can coexist. The heart of this episode: You don’t have to choose between being a lion and being humble. You can confront falsehood without becoming vindictive, protect your calling without attacking others, and trust God with your reputation without abandoning your responsibility to speak the truth.

Sometimes God doesn’t take us out of the heat—He meets us in it. In our latest **Grit and Grace** episode, **THE CRUCIBLE**, we talk about those seasons that test us, refine us, and teach us to lean harder into Jesus.

It’s another round of “Nextdoor in Your Neighborhood”—and DD and Heather have thoughts. First up: e-bikes. Seriously, everybody. Get a grip.

DD and Heather ask some of the big questions Christians often use words for—but don’t always stop to define. What is sin, really? Why does it matter? What is sanctification?

What happens when life gets hard—and instead of letting up, it gets even harder? In today’s episode, we’re talking about circumstances that test everything: your patience, your faith, your relationships, your confidence, and even your ability to keep going.

Friday Shenanigans is back as we unpack Day 8 of Disciples Made Here! Today we’re talking about the simple but powerful challenge of inviting your one person to coffee or lunch and intentionally spending time together.

In Part 2 of their conversation on obedience, Heather and DD take a deeper look at the incredible power and lasting value of saying “yes” to God.

When obedience feels impossible, God’s grace and the Holy Spirit make it possible. DD and Heather continue their conversation about the power of obedience to God’s commands. At times, what God asks of us can seem impossibly difficult—a standard we could never meet in our own strength. But the Christian life was never meant to be…
