  • We Believe In | One God, the Father, the Almighty - Brent Parsley
    Jan 18 2026

    What does it really mean to believe in one God, and why does that matter for everyday life?

    In this episode, we explore the opening confession of the Nicene Creed: “We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.”

    While those words may sound familiar, they carry a radical claim, that God alone is sufficient, and that everything else in life is meant to flow from Him, not replace Him.

    This conversation looks at why ancient cultures believed you needed many gods to survive and why the Christian faith insisted that one God was enough.

    Along the way, we examine how modern forms of idolatry still shape our lives today, often showing up as misplaced trust in relationships, success, security, or control.

    This episode addresses big, honest questions many of us carry:

    • Why do good things still leave us feeling empty?

    • Why does life feel so heavy if God is supposed to be enough?

    • What happens when we confuse the gifts of life with the true source?

    Rooted in Scripture and shaped by the historic Christian faith, this episode offers a hopeful invitation: you don’t have to carry the weight of being your own source or writing your own story.

    If you’re longing for clarity, peace, and a deeper trust in God, this conversation is for you.

  • We Believe In | Grab the Rope - Brent Parsley
    Jan 11 2026

    Part 1 of We Believe In

    What does it really mean to be a Christian today?

    In a world filled with opinions, influencers, hot takes, and endless commentary, many people inside and outside the church are left confused about what Christians actually believe and why it matters. Faith can start to feel overwhelming, individualistic, or even fragile.

    In this episode, we begin a new series called We Believe In…, using Scripture and the Nicene Creed to explore the core story of the Christian faith. Rather than offering quick answers or cultural reactions, this message invites listeners into an ancient, shared faith that has guided Christians through confusion for nearly 1,700 years.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why Christian faith was never meant to be practiced alone

    • How belief is not about total certainty, but humble trust

    • Why Christianity is centered on a Person, not just ideas

    • How the Nicene Creed serves as a guide or “rope” in confusing times

    • Why doubt, struggle, and questions don’t disqualify you from faith

    Whether you’re deeply committed, quietly questioning, or somewhere in between, this conversation invites you to stay in the boat, lean into community, and draw near to Jesus—even when faith feels complicated.

    This episode is especially for anyone who has asked:

    • What do Christians actually believe?

    • Can I still belong if I have doubts?

    • Is faith about certainty or trust?

    You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

  • Best Year Ever - Brent Parsley
    Jan 4 2026

    Every year starts with hope. New goals. New resolutions. And every year, most of them fade fast.

    In this message, Best Year Ever, we explore why real transformation doesn’t come from trying harder but from choosing the one thing that truly matters.

    Using Scripture from Philippians 3 and Luke 10, this teaching invites us to stop living distracted, busy, and overwhelmed and instead learn what it means to sit at the feet of Jesus.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why resolutions fail and systems matter

    • How your daily choices shape your future

    • The difference between working for Jesus and being with Him

    • Why closeness to Christ changes everything else

    • Simple, practical ways to remove distractions and grow spiritually

    If you’re longing for a meaningful year, not just a productive one, this message will help you refocus your life around what lasts forever.

    2026 can be the best year of your life if it’s the year you live closest to Jesus.
