Jay and Will continue their study on the Sermon on the Mount, asking what does Jesus mean when he says he came to "fulfill" the Law and the Prophets? And how exactly does one surpass the righteousness of the Pharisees--a group that specialized in being right? Humbling answers to both questions set the stage for everything Jesus says next. Enjoy the road!

Our 6th-12th grades are memorizing the Sermon on the Mount... why? In this bite-sized episode, Jay and Will talk about Christ's example of committing scripture to memory and why it's important that God's Word is more than a reference book we pull off the shelf ad hoc. Enjoy the road!

Jay and Will continue their conversation over the Sermon on the Mount, discussing the ancient context of Matthew 5:13-16. What does Jesus mean when he says we are the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world"? And how do we stay salty and bright? Enjoy the road!

It's recommendation time. On this episode Jay shares one of his top recent reads, Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer, and tries to convince Will to read it, too. What does it mean to be an apprentice of Jesus and to follow along in all his rhythms of life? And what exactly is a "rule of life"? Tune in and enjoy the road!

We're back, Eagles! This year Jay and Will take a deep dive into the Sermon on the Mount, and we're starting at the beginning: The Beatitudes or "the blessings." These nine blessings are some of the most repeated verses in scripture... but do we understand them? Join us as we reflect on some of Jesus' most difficult and counter-cultural ideas about what it means to live a good life.

On this extra special episode, we talk about imagination, love, and bravely influencing our world for good, as the students take the mic to interview New York Times Bestselling author, creator, and all-around wonderful human, Brad Montague!

This week, Jay and Will are talking about prayer. What is it? Who's it for? How do you do it and why? For answers to these questions, we explore ancient conversations with God from Numbers, Proverbs, Psalms, Daniel, and more. And we learn that God's big enough for all our head and heart stuff... and He's ready to listen.

Enjoy the road!

It's Bible study time. In this episode, Jay asks Will to consider James 1:26-27 and just what it means to practice "pure religion." This one's about our Kingdom Calling at the most fundamental level, and we hope it helps focus and energize you today. Enjoy the road!
