What does God’s love really look like?
In this episode, we explore why so many people struggle to understand the love of God—and why feelings, circumstances, and personal experiences can never fully define it. Scripture reveals a love far deeper: a God who remains faithful even when His people are rebellious, stubborn, and unfaithful.

Shame leaves scars. Sin leaves stains. But God restores what seems impossible to repair.

Marriage is meant to make two people “one”—but how does that work when the differences feel so extreme?

What is real righteousness—and what does it actually have to do with love?

Through Psalm 45, we explore a prophetic picture of the Messiah—one who em...
Understanding the triune nature of God isn’t easy—but what if God has already given us a glimpse of it through ourselves?
In this episode, we explore how being created in God’s image helps us grasp His “3-in-1” nature. Just as we are made up of physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, Scripture reveals God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each distinct, yet perfectly unified in purpose.

What was there before the beginning?

On this episode of Getting To Know God, titled “The One True Light,” we’re examining Revelation 21:23 to understand the qualities of God that enable Him to make all things new, just as He promised long ago!
If God is immortal and we are mortal, can we simply approach God whenever we want? If God is pure and we have imperfections, can we access Him at any time? These are important questions to consider since God Himself said that He dwells in “unapproachable light.” Discover what that means as Pastor Kevin and Brandon unpack 1 Timothy 6:16 in this episode titled “Unapproachable.”
Many people want to see proof of God. They want to see the work of God. They want to see His glory. The Bible explains that God is willing to reveal all of that.

That’s what Pastor Brandon ‘b.Side” Alvillar and Pastor Kevin Cooper discuss in this episode titled, “Knowing The Glory...
The key to entering heaven depends on what we trust about Jesus Christ's testimony in the Bible.

Discover what that truly means as Pastor Brandon and Kevin explore John 8:12 to discuss who Jesus really is and why it matters more than any...
