Andy and Heather Erickson talk sex and relationships in the first week of this Valentine's Day special, Too Juicy.

How come we have different races if we have one mother, Eve? Heather Erickson addresses this question and explores the biblical history and genetic science behind the answer.

Calling is not a straight line. It doesn't happen in a moment. It doesn't always go the way we planned. In this week's message, Jay and Ashley Seidler talk about committing to the Lord's will and their story of following through on what the Lord wanted for their lives.

In the spirit of Christmas, Colton Shrader highlights the importance of keeping Jesus central to our stories. Unless we understand the weight of the Christmas story and how it fits into Scripture as a whole, we cannot fully understand how Jesus operates and how vital our relationship with Him can be.

The death of Jesus on the cross deeply illustrates the Father's love for his children. For one, Jesus shows heavy compassion and grace when he's surrounded by mockers and shamed by his people. The events following his crucifixion also speak of the intimate, cosmic love of Jesus, prompting us to seek his love, forgiveness, and healing.

John the Baptist was a radical, God-fearing man, and he was not interested in making himself more well-known. Heather Erickson emphasizes the value of leaving a legacy and describes how John used his life to make a lasting impact and make Jesus as famous as possible.

Andy Erickson ends our semester and school year by getting back to the basics. The Gospel is always relevant to every person in every season. Our beliefs are tied to our actions. We cannot help but to live out what we believe, whether it's the true Gospel or another false gospel.

The missional heart of God is vital to our lives and the way we give to the people around us. If the anatomy of God's heart is sending love, and the physiology of God's heart is missions, then God's heart in us stirs a love of missional generosity inside of us.

Ohio Superintendent John Wootton finishes our series on having a culture of honor by discussing the topic of messaging. How do we resolve conflicts biblically? How do we know when to speak up and when to keep quiet? What do we do differently with different audiences? John addresses each of those concerns with personal experience and biblical reasoning.

Jay Seidler continues our series on having a culture of honor. A culture of honor is more than just having respect for each other, but it's elevating each other above ourselves. Honor is not zero-sum, it calls out the gold in people, and it protects relationships in the process.

Great Lakes Chi Alpha Director Steve Brannan speaks on the value of the Bible. The Bible is bread for the soul, weaponry for the spirit realm, and a map for life. Most importantly, it tells us the story of Jesus from beginning to end.

Heather Erickson takes a deeper dive into a "Culture of Honor" by taking a look at the biblical role of women. The role of women in the world wasn't meant to be a place of submission but one of mutuality and equality. Women were meant to reign and fashioned so by God from the beginning. Jesus through the redemptive gospel is restoring their place.

Andy Erickson kicks off our end-of-the-semester series on a Culture of Honor. We value honor because our heavenly Father values honor. Therefore, we must commit ourselves to developing a culture of honor.

Missionary Glen Smith challenges our thinking about a comfortable life in Jesus. Fear is what keeps us from fulfilling the potential that God has planned for our life. The end of our ability is the beginning of God's power, and His power is often in the middle of the storm, not in the boat.We must learn that the glory of God is found in our simplest steps of obedience.

It's #TooJuicy! Andy and Heather Erickson share together a fresh perspective on healthy, godly relationships: How does our relationship effect the other person's relationship with the Lord or with others? It's not always about defining what's "not okay"; sometimes we need to know what's "okay" to do when it comes to relationships.

Great Lakes Chi Alpha Director Steve Brannan finishes our Acts series with a commission. We are the 29th chapter of Acts who continues the work of the Holy Spirit even today.

Jay Seidler continues our Acts series talking about a lesser-celebrated role of the Holy Spirit: Advocate. How do we follow His lead as fellow advocates with Him? Believe the best, stop rumors, cover weaknesses, and rejoice in strengths.

Josh Plaisance, lead pastor of The Dwelling Place, is with us sharing his testimony about how he came to Jesus and the Holy Spirit's powerful work in his life.
