The Hump Day 90 - Familiarity with Jesus does not equal salvation.

Are you standing next to the fire, or are you actually warm? In this Midweek Check-in, Nathan unpacks a sobering comment from his pastor: "Familiarity with Jesus does not equal salvation." We explore the "Judas factor"—the reality that you can walk with Him, talk like Him, and even do ministry in His name, yet never actually belong to Him. Nathan discusses the danger of "Moral Proximity" and why a religious "Liturgy" can often mask a heart that has never truly surrendered.

The Hump Day 90 - Dying To Self For The Life Of Your Spouse

The aisle isn’t just a path to a party; it’s a path to a grave. In this Midweek Check-in, Nathan reflects on a powerful video that challenges our modern view of weddings. When we walk down that aisle, we aren't just walking toward a new life; we are walking toward a death—a daily death to our own selfish desires, our "Lentil Soup" cravings, and our "Boss" mentalities. Nathan discusses why this "death to self" isn't a tragedy, but the only way to bring true, supernatural life to your marriage.

The Hump Day 90 - The Allure of Sin

Why is sin so tempting? In this Midweek Check-in, Nathan tackles a question we often avoid: if sin is so destructive, why does it feel so good in the moment? From the "Lentil Soup Trap" to the "Counterfeit Covenant," we explore the biblical reality of the allure of sin. Nathan discusses how to move past the shame of being tempted and start understanding the spiritual mechanics of why our hearts wander—and how to find a better satisfaction in Christ’s design.

The Hump Day 90 - "This Article is a Sad Indication of the Times (AND the New York Times)"

Midweek Check-in. 🤔 Nathan is responding to a New York Times article, "The Case for Ending a Long, Mostly Good Marriage." In this response, he tackles the dangerous premise that personal autonomy means a marriage can (and should) be ended if one of the parties no longer finds fulfillment in the marriage.  It is time to recognize that commitment goes deeper than fleeting satisfaction. If you've ever questioned your "good enough" marriage, this is a must-watch.
