It's a question that stirs strong feelings, especially for those rethinking what it means to be the New Testament church. Should Christians pool their resources for land, air conditioning, and pews, or does that kind of spending run against Scripture's example? Wes McAdams and Marcus… [Listen](https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/211798396/26db66c2d79f5661946e8c1f64de3199.mp3) ## [Remembering Rainier: A Tribute](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ucminterfacebiblestudy/episodes/Remembering-Rainier-A-Tribute-e3nd8sv) _2026-08-14 · UCM Interface · UCM Interface Bible Study_ A tribute to our co-host Pastor Rainier.

Empty pews, culture-war fatigue, a 24-hour news cycle feeding fear about who’s in charge and what’s coming next. But step outside the American bubble and a different story emerges, one where the gospel is spreading faster than almost any point in history.

Is there a hidden checklist — the right songs, the right order, the right rituals — that separates real worship from the counterfeit? Wes and Marcus dig into Jesus's words in John 4:24 to the Samaritan woman about worshiping "in spirit and in truth," and ask whether we've been misreading that phrase for years.

What if the way you think about the Holy Spirit is quietly shrinking your relationship with God? Most of us have been shaped by a culture that wants to take everything apart; to understand the mechanics, extract maximum value, and move on.

Play a video game in the name of Jesus? It sounds almost absurd until you realize Paul's command in 1 Corinthians 10:31 doesn't stop at the church door, "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

However, if we're being honest, it sounds offensive. Maybe even cruel. When life is falling apart, the last thing most of us want is a command to be joyful about it.

A natural part of things. Even well-meaning Christians sometimes shrug at the grave, "They're in a better place, so I shouldn't be sad."

When the command to stop worrying just adds guilt on top of the worry you already can’t shake? Wes and Marcus get honest about the tension so many Christians feel around anxiety: caught between preachers who call it a sin and a culture that treats it as simply… [Listen](https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/195251035/868b2b83d2f0352a4ff059bf11fc5f60.mp3) ## Ep7 | The Day Everything Broke (And Everything Changed) | Luke 22:47-23:25 _2026-04-29 · BIBLE STUDY PODCAST_ What really happened at the cross—and what does it mean for you today?
