This week on Unpacking Sunday, Luke and Mike find themselves (once again) talking about butter tarts — but this time, Mike uses the sweetest transition ever, connecting Acts 2:22–35 to “food for your spirit and sweetness for your soul.” From there, they dive deep into the heart of the gospel, reflecting on how Jesus’ work on the cross was always part of God’s plan from the very beginning. Along the way, they marvel at the wonderfully human story of Peter — the disciple who once vowed to die f...
This week on Unpacking Sunday, Luke and Mike continue their journey through the book of Acts, diving into Acts 2:14–23—Peter’s famous sermon that moved the hearts of thousands. They unpack what made that moment so powerful and how the Holy Spirit worked through Peter to reach over 3,000 people from all over the world. The conversation also turns personal as they talk about what it looks like to foster and grow in a relationship with the Holy Spirit today—learning to listen, respond, and walk ...
This week on Unpacking Sunday, Mike and Luke dive into Acts 2:1–13 and the powerful moment when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early Church. Centered around the sermon “The Wait Is Over,” they unpack what it means to foster a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit and the importance of gathering together as the Body of Christ. They reflect on how vital it is to be “in the room” — just like the believers who were waiting and praying together on the day of Pentecost — surrounded by ot...
Unpacking Sunday is back for a brand new season! This week, Luke and Mike catch up after a full summer and settle into the rhythm of fall. With our church launching a new series in the book of Acts—The Church on Mission—they unpack the introductory message and what it means for us today. From the tension of trusting God’s timing (the “secret sauce”) to the reality that the Church itself was birthed out of a season of waiting for the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they reflect on how waiting and mi...

This week on Unpacking Sunday, Mike and Luke record live with a special audience during our annual staff retreat. Continuing the conversation on ordinances and sacraments, they turn their focus to worship and liturgy. Too often, worship gets reduced to a 20-minute set on a Sunday morning—but as Luke and Mike remind us, true worship is so much more. It’s a daily rhythm of dedicating every part of our lives—work, play, rest, meals, and more—to God’s calling and presence. They also share practic...
This week on Unpacking Sunday, Luke and Mike wrestle with a hard but honest reality: sometimes God doesn’t answer our prayers for healing the way we hope He will. What does that mean for how we see Him at work? They talk about how God often uses these moments to lead us deeper into relationship and dependence on Him. Yes, God still heals today—but the bigger question is this: can we trust Him even if He chooses not to? It’s a heartfelt conversation about faith, surrender, and what it really m...

This week on Unpacking Sunday, Luke and Mike dive into the meaning and significance of the Lord’s Supper—also known as communion, or in some traditions, the Eucharist. They explore how, in many evangelical and charismatic circles, we can sometimes lose sight of the wonder and beauty of this ancient practice that Jesus Himself established. The conversation looks at how we as a church can approach communion with greater intentionality, and what the Apostle Paul had to say about it—including the...
Luke and Mike manage to carve out time from their shifting vacation schedules to dive into the topic of baptism. This August on Unpacking Sunday, we’re exploring the sacraments and their importance to the Christian walk — and asking whether practices like baptism are truly imperative for every believer. In this episode, Luke and Mike catch up on life, share a laugh over Mike’s confusion about the coffee shop “BjornBar,” and dig deep into the meaning and significance of baptism. For any questi...
This week on Unpacking Sunday, Mike and Luke approach a topic that is both culturally charged and deeply personal: same-sex marriage. As part of the Is It True? series, they open Scripture to explore what the Bible actually says about marriage, identity, and God’s design for human relationships. Together, they reflect on what a biblically defined marriage looks like, and how we as believers—and especially as church leaders—can navigate this conversation with both truth and compassion. They al...

This week on Unpacking Sunday, Luke and Mike continue the Is It True? series, diving into one of the big questions believers wrestle with: what do we do with the Law? Was it only meant for Old Testament believers, or are there principles we’re still called to live by today? They explore the difference between cultural context and timeless biblical truth, and discuss how Jesus' life, death, and resurrection fulfilled the Law—yet didn’t erase the wisdom and guidance it offers. It’s an honest, i...
This week on Unpacking Sunday, Luke and Mike kick off a brand new sermon series called Is It True?—a deep dive into commonly heard statements and whether they still hold up today, or if they’re bound to cultural context. In this intro episode, the focus is on the foundation: the Bible itself. Can we trust it? Is it still reliable today? Luke and Mike explore how Scripture has stood the test of time and why it remains completely trustworthy—both the Old and New Testaments. It’s a thoughtful co...
