Ep. 141 Asking for a Friend | Can God be Trusted?

March 30, 2026

Some questions sit just under the surface—easy to ignore, but hard to shake. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re unsure what you believe, you may have wondered: Can God really be trusted? Maybe you’ve experienced disappointment and aren’t sure what to do with it. Maybe parts of your story make it hard to believe God is good. Or maybe you’re still trying to figure out if faith is built on something solid—or just wishful thinking. If you’ve ever felt that tension, you’re in good company. In this episode, Young Adult Associate, Joel Martin, and Laura Aines, Worship Administrative Assistant, lean into the struggle of trust—what it means, why it’s difficult, and the question of whether God is actually worthy of it… even if you’re just asking for a friend.

March 23, 2026

Sometimes the most important questions are the ones we’re afraid to ask. Whether you consider yourself a Christian or you’re skeptical about faith, you’ve probably wondered: Is Jesus really the only way to heaven?

If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions, you’re not alone. In this episode, Senior Pastor, Beau Eckert, and Pastor of Worship Ministries, Dave Ross, bring honesty, clarity, and hope to one of the most common—and uncomfortable—questions… even if you’re just asking for a friend.
