The Christmas season can feel busy and overwhelming. In this family podcast, we talk honestly about expectations, traditions, and the pressures that come with the holidays—while refocusing our hearts on Jesus, the true reason for the season. Join us as we slow down, laugh together, and seek a more meaningful, Christ-centered Christmas.

In this episode, we explore the sweeping biblical theme of God’s presence — from Eden to Immanuel. We talk about what it means to be created for life with God, how sin disrupts that relationship, and how the entire story of Scripture is God pursuing us to bring us back to Himself. Together we’ll unpack why His presence is the core of our identity, our purpose, and our deepest fullness. If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to walk with God in daily life, this conversation invites you to rediscover the beauty of His nearness.

Pastor Brian Wilmarth begins our Christmas series, Tracing His Presence, with a message titled Made for It, from Genesis 1-3.

We walk through the final chapter of Ruth and unpack the major theme that ties the whole book together. 

Finishing out the book of Ruth we see how the movement of God is to bring us from emptiness to fullness

Jake and Brian discuss Ruth chapter 3 and how it shows us the key theme of God providing rescue...all the while conveniently ignoring any weird aspects of the story. And apparently Brian hates pumpkin pie...

Pastor Brian Wilmarth shares from Ruth Chapter 3, describing how moving from emptiness to fullness comes through rescue.

While Cody is sitting in timeout, Jake and Brian discuss Jake's message on Ruth 2. They discuss how culture feeds us a picture of life we think is full, but how God's faithfulness leads us to the truly full life. 

Pastor Jake Harper continues in Ruth with Chapter 2.

The teams talks about what it look like to foster meaningful conversations with our kids. 

We cover the sermon and story of Ruth chapter 1.
