As Christians, it is our aim to subject every area of our lives to Christ. As Americans (or at least a community situated within America), we recognize local politics as a normative part of life and desire to engage the discussion and even vote in such a way that brings glory to God. For this reason, we lean into Jesus to ask, "How can we be your people in the way we engage in this political space?" That is the purpose of our discipleship night on Christianity and politics.

Best Episodes on Mental Health, Emotions & Thoughts

The best podcasts about ourselves as well as the world through the lense of Science. Specific topics include things about our brain, emotions to biology, physics and more!

Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.
