🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

What were the biggest lessons God taught us in 2025?

In this year-in-review episode, Tyler hosts as we replay some of the most memorable moments and major themes and series from 2025. We revisit what it means to count it all joy even in suffering, praying for "our ones" from the Reimagine series, the spiritual practice of prayer in our lives, how to fight for covenant faithfulness in marriage, taking first steps against injustice, avoiding syncretism and putting Christ above all else, and learning from Peter's failures and faith. It's a celebration of God's faithfulness, the hard work of discipleship, and the community that carried us through.

Unlocking Spiritual Authority | Ep 275 Jul 02, 2025

In this episode, we dive into the final sermon of Part I of Grace Church’s Follow Me series. Why does Jesus send his disciples out in Matthew 10 with no money, no bag, and instructions to heal the sick and cast out demons? What does it mean to be given authority by Jesus? And how should we understand being “sent” in a world that feels overwhelming and broken? We tackle other topics like: – What does real spiritual authority look like? – Who are the “worthy people” Jesus talks about? – Should modern Christians expect to heal and cast out demons? – And… what does “shake the dust off your feet” mean for us today?

Why Did Jesus Heal The Blind? | Ep 273 Jun 25, 2025

IN THIS EPISODE: Why did Jesus heal people with disabilities and what does that mean for us today? In this episode, Tyler, Maron, and Barry unpack Matthew 9:27–34, where Jesus heals two blind men in a culture that saw disability as shameful. But the story raises deeper questions: Why do healing stories cause discomfort in the modern disability community? If healing is tied to faith, what does that imply for people today who aren’t healed? Why does Jesus sometimes mention forgiving sins and sometimes not? Does physical healing imply something was broken before and how does that affect our theology of wholeness? We also explore the 3 R’s of application from the sermon: Remember those the world has forgotten, Reject the values of our broken world, and Receive the mercy of our Savior. Watch as we dig into ancient shame culture, contractual theology, and how the church can faithfully preach healing without unintentionally reinforcing harmful assumptions. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:09 - What's New with the Gang 00:44 - Pacers NBA Finals Loss & Family Reactions 15:05 - Transition to Sermon Discussion 20:00 - Disability, Healing, and Ancient Context 27:27 - Faith, Healing, and Discomfort 32:22 - Theology of Healing & Faith 36:36 - Prophecy, Inclusion, and New Creation 42:59 - Jesus, Context, and Social Inclusion 46:21 - Healing, Wholeness, and Social Models 52:24 - Remembering the Forgotten & Mercy 56:36 - Rejecting Broken World Values 01:03:09 - Receiving Mercy & Contractual Theology 01:06:21 - Where Do We Go Next? 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW: Church services happen on weekends.

Why Did Jesus Share a Meal With "Sinners and Scum"? | Ep 272 Jun 18, 2025

IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode of Between Sundays, Tyler, Maron, and Barry return to the Gospel of Matthew (chapters 8–9) to talk tax collectors, table fellowship, and the transforming power of Jesus’ mercy. What does it mean that Jesus called someone like Matthew, a despised collaborator and social outcast, to follow Him? Why did Jesus share a meal with "sinners and scum"? And what do ancient customs like reclining at the table, status symbols, and mercy over sacrifice still teach us about following Jesus today? We're diving deep into Week 9 of the Follow Me series at Grace Church, unpacking: - Jesus’ absolute authority and radical inclusion - The cultural and spiritual weight of eating together - Why Matthew’s calling is a turning point in God’s new kingdom - Hosea 6:6, mercy vs. sacrifice, and what that means for church today - What it looks like to extend mercy even to the people we judge... or just don't want at our table Plus, we tackle a bunch of big questions: - What makes someone open to mercy? - Is mercy optional for Christians? - Can churches be built on mercy instead of sacrifice? - Did tax collectors choose their path—and could they quit? We also answer a few fun mailbag questions, including: - What’s your most-used emoji? - Where do you go in Scripture on hard days? - Favorite Between Sundays moment from 300 episodes!

Can a Roman Centurion teach us about faith and inclusion? | Ep 271 Jun 11, 2025

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE: In this Star Wars-laced deep dive into Matthew 8, we explore the surprising faith of a Roman centurion who shocked Jesus Himself and everyone else around Him. What does it mean when the empire bows to the Kingdom? In this episode we talk about: Why Jesus was amazed by a Gentile's faith and what it says about insiders vs. outsiders How sacred authority differs from oppressive control What a modern-day centurion might look like Why submitting to Jesus doesn’t erase our identity What it costs to follow Jesus instead of empire in 2025 Whether our churches look more like the Kingdom… or a sanitized version of it And how fear might be quietly uninviting people from our tables ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - What's New with the Gang 08:01 - John Guerra Concert 11:49 - Podcast & Social Media Housekeeping 13:13 - Matthew 8 & Big Idea 15:55 - Roman Centurion Context & Authority 20:48 - Authority, Identity, and Submitting to Jesus 24:14 - Faith of the Centurion vs. Disciples 29:30 - Living by Jesus’ Authority & Faith in Practice 31:12 - Star Wars Metaphors & Real-Life Parallels 36:26 - Cost of Following Jesus & Centurion’s Consequences 38:25 - Radical Inclusion & The Church as the Cantina 42:09 - Boundaries, Fear, and Inviting Others 44:59 - Repentance, Humility, and the Table 47:46 - Centurion’s Transformation & Roman Obligations 49:01 - Where Do We Go Next? 50:07 - Podcast Wrap-Up & Farewell 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman: "00:10:57" Check out Jon Guerra! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_WcSIC3l9BlUoBJyyoJtpA 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW: Church services happen on weekends.

268 - How Jesus Defeated Temptation May 14, 2025

Jesus in the wilderness. Forty days. No bread. All temptation. What does this iconic story really mean—and what does it have to do with marshmallows, baptism, and political power? In this episode of Between Sundays, Tyler, Maron, and Barry dig into Matthew 4 and unpack the wilderness temptation of Jesus. We explore why Matthew draws heavy parallels between Jesus and the story of Israel, how spiritual warfare often follows spiritual affirmation, and why resisting temptation is less about gritting your teeth and more about trusting God, knowing Scripture, and living a life of worship. We also ask some tough questions: Did God lead Jesus into temptation? Was Satan actually questioning Jesus’ identity? How do we know when Scripture is being twisted today? What does it really mean to worship in a world of distraction? And—are we supposed to imitate Jesus in temptation… or just depend on him?

266 - Why Matthew Starts with a Genealogy Apr 30, 2025

Why does Matthew kick off the story of Jesus with a long, dusty list of names? And why should you care? In this episode of Between Sundays, the gang digs into why genealogies are NOT boring — and why Matthew’s opening chapter is actually a revolutionary declaration of God’s faithfulness. We unpack: Why the Gospel of Matthew mattered so much that early Christians were willing to die for it. How Jesus’ family tree ties Him directly to God’s promises, even through generations of failure, scandal, and exile. Why the inclusion of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba in the genealogy flips ancient expectations on their head. What this ancient list of names has to say to a modern Church facing division, doubt, and distraction. Who the modern-day "outcasts" would be if a new genealogy were written today. Plus: Tyler’s great-great-grandpa Jeptha Troyer gets a shoutout Barry has a new piggie And we wrestle with why we often treat Scripture like a relic instead of the revolutionary manifesto it really is. Whether you love Bible deep dives or have always been tempted to skim Matthew 1, this episode will open your eyes to the power of God’s promises and your place in His ongoing story.
