Have you ever prayed the same question over and over, hoping that if you asked enough times, God would finally explain himself? Why this. Why now. Why me. In week two of Honest to God, Toni Nieuwhof shares her own story of watching her son face a life-threatening illness and the moment she realized her prayers had turned into demands, trying to take control instead of trusting God with the…
Why do you still feel empty? Most people have a list of things they've gone back to hoping they'd finally deliver. The relationship. The achievement. The habit. Different wells, same emptiness at the bottom. In this final episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark unpacks the story of a woman who had been doing exactly that — going back to the wrong things her whole life. Jesus meets her at a…
Born again. Two words most people have heard and very few have had explained in a way that actually makes sense. Jesus said it to Nicodemus — one of the most respected religious leaders of his time, a man who had God completely figured out by every external measure. And yet he showed up to find Jesus at night, alone, asking questions he wasn't supposed to need answered. Jesus told him: you need to…
Most people asking "is this all there is?" aren't in crisis. They're just going through the motions. Doing the right things. Living a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow on the inside. In this second episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark unpacks the story of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. Six stone jars used for religious ceremony. Replaced entirely…
Most people have quietly decided their life doesn't really mean anything. Not out loud. Not as a formal belief. Just as a background assumption they've never quite shaken. In this first episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark challenges that assumption directly. Drawing from John chapter 1, he makes the case that your life has a beginning, a middle, and an end — and that the God behind the…
You're making plans to feel okay. But what if your plans can't actually get you there? Jeff Brodie closes out the Undivided series with James 4 and 5 — looking at why the pursuit of self-sufficiency quietly erodes your relationship with God, what wealth actually does to your sense of need, and what it looks like to plan wisely while trusting deeply. Final episode of Undivided, a five-week series…
Showing up and belonging aren't the same thing. Sydney Jackson and Jeff Brodie work through the final chapters of James in this bonus episode — covering prayer in suffering, the healing power of confession, and why community isn't optional when life gets hard. Plus: does prayer actually work when healing doesn't come the way you expected? Part 4 bonus conversation in Undivided, a series through…
Same fight, different day. The topic changes but the argument stays the same. Jeff Brodie unpacks James 4 and makes the case that your external conflicts are almost always driven by internal desires — things you're trusting in that were never designed to carry that weight. This isn't about conflict resolution tips. It's about getting to what's actually driving the fight. Part 4 of 5 in Undivided,…
Is it gossip if you're "just venting"? Is forgiving someone the same as trusting them again? Sydney Jackson and Jeff Brodie dig deeper into James 3 in this bonus episode, working through the harder, more practical questions: how to tell the difference between gossip and seeking advice, what boundaries look like after someone keeps hurting you, and what to actually do when you can't seem to stop…
Your words aren't the problem. They're the symptom. In this episode Jeff Brodie works through James 3 and unpacks why the things that come out of your mouth are actually telling you something about what's going on underneath — the division, the jealousy, the stuff you haven't dealt with yet. This isn't a talk about cleaning up your language. It's about what needs to change at the root. Part 3 of…
