What Are You Chasing?
In this episode, we walk through Philippians 3 and wrestle with the question of what we truly value most. Paul contrasts his impressive “resume” of achievements with the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, ultimately calling everything else loss in comparison. We talk about how easy it is to chase things like success, status, or approval—only to find they don’t satisfy—and how knowing Christ is meant to be deeply relational, not just intellectual. That kind of knowing transforms us, leading us to become more like Jesus through both His resurrection power and even in suffering. We also discuss the importance of not being stuck in our past but pressing forward in grace, and living with an eternal perspective as citizens of heaven who bring God’s kingdom into the present.

What Does It Mean To Be The Church?
In this week’s episode, Tyler and Zachary discuss what it truly means to be the church rather than simply attending it. They explore how consumer-driven culture can shape the way people view church—focusing on personal preferences, experiences, and what they can get out of it—while Scripture calls believers to a mindset of service, contribution, and community. Drawing from passages like Matthew 5 and Ephesians 4, they emphasize that every Christian has a role to play in building up the body of Christ, both inside and outside the church. The episode challenges listeners to shift from passive attendance to active participation, encouraging them to serve others, use their gifts, and live out their faith daily as a visible reflection of Jesus.

Worship Isn’t Just Music
Episode SummaryIn this episode, Tyler and Zachary continue their series on authentic church by rethinking what worship really is. While many of us immediately associate worship with singing or Sunday services, Scripture presents a much fuller picture.Looking at Romans 12:1 and John 4:23–24, this conversation explores how worship is not confined to a place, a time, or a single act. Instead, worship is meant to encompass our entire lives. It is a response to God’s mercy, expressed through daily surrender, obedience, and gratitude.This episode challenges us to move beyond a limited view of worship and embrace a life where everything is done for the glory of God.Key TakeawaysWorship is more than musicSinging is important, but it is only one expression of worship.Worship is a response to God’s mercyRomans 12:1 shows that offering our whole lives to God is the natural response to His grace.Worship is not tied to a locationJesus teaches in John 4 that true worship is not about a place, but about worshiping in spirit and in truth.You are always worshiping somethingThe question is not if you worship, but what you worship.Worship includes everyday lifeWork, conversations, generosity, prayer, and even suffering can all become acts of worship.Worship must be both sincere and grounded in truthIt is not just emotional; it must be aligned with who God is and what He has revealed.Worship can become performanceWhen the focus shifts from God to experience, we miss the purpose of worship.Key ScripturesRomans 12:1John 4:23–24Colossians 3:23Psalm 22:1–5James 1:17Isaiah 29:13Practical ApplicationAsk yourself this week:What areas of my life have I not surrendered to God?Am I treating worship as a moment or a lifestyle?How can I intentionally worship God in everyday moments?Simple ways to live a life of worship:Offer short prayers throughout your dayPractice gratitude by thanking God regularlyEngage Scripture dailyServe and encourage othersGive God credit for every good thing in your lifeHeart CheckAm I worshiping God or chasing an experience?Do I evaluate worship by how it made me feel or by whether God was glorified?A helpful reminder: worship is for God, not for us.Next EpisodeWhy Does the Church Still Matter?

The Church Next Door – Can Church Be Authentic?
🎙️ The Church Next Door – Episode 1: Can Church Be Authentic?What does it really mean for church to be authentic?In this opening episode of The Church Next Door, Tyler and Zachary kick off a new series focused on challenging common misconceptions about the church and rediscovering what it was always meant to be. The conversation begins lightheartedly with a few awkward (and relatable) church moments—spilled communion, mistaken identities, and unintentional faux pas—but quickly moves into a deeper question: do those imperfect moments actually reveal something good about the church?From there, the discussion centers on the idea that authenticity isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty. An authentic church is one where people can be real about their lives: their struggles, their joys, and even their failures. Drawing from passages like Romans 12, Galatians 6, and James 5, Tyler and Zachary describe a church that isn’t limited to Sunday mornings but is instead a daily, lived-out community where people truly know and support one another.They also explore why authenticity matters so much today, especially for younger generations. In a world shaped by social media, curated identities, and artificial content, people are increasingly skeptical of anything that feels staged or overly polished. That creates a unique opportunity for the church to stand out—not by being more impressive, but by being more real.At the same time, they acknowledge the tension. Church shouldn’t feel like a performance, but it also isn’t careless or casual in a way that ignores reverence for God. True authenticity is about the heart—worship that is both genuine and intentional, offered not for others to see, but for God.Looking to Acts 2, they paint a picture of what authentic church community actually looks like: people sharing meals, praying together, supporting each other, and doing life side by side. It’s not occasional or surface-level—it’s consistent, sacrificial, and deeply relational.Of course, there are real barriers to that kind of community. Fear of judgment, past hurt, concern over reputation, and simply not spending enough time together can all keep people from opening up. But instead of trying to fix everything at once, the episode closes with a simple, practical challenge: start small. Find one or two people you trust and take a step toward deeper conversation and connection.Ultimately, the question isn’t just can church be authentic—it’s whether we’re willing to let it be. When it is, it begins to look less like an event and more like a family: a place where you can be known, loved, and encouraged to grow.Next episode: Worship Isn’t Just Music.

Practice: Talking Spiritual Rhythms with Chris McCurley
In this episode, we sit down with Chris to talk about spiritual disciplines—not as rigid checklists, but as life-giving rhythms. Chris shares how he’s currently teaching a series called *“Rhythms,”* reframing spiritual disciplines as habits that tune our lives to God’s pace instead of the world’s. Like a metronome keeps musicians in time, God sets the rhythm for a life that is intentional, eternal, and countercultural.We discuss:* Why “business as usual” is one of the greatest threats to spiritual growth* The danger of turning disciplines into mechanical checklists* The difference between earning God’s favor and abiding in a relationship with Him (John 15)* Why confidence in Christ fuels spiritual growth (Romans 8:1)* The importance of starting your day with “Bible before phone” and “knees before feet.”* How spiritual disciplines don’t just prepare *us* — they equip us to better serve othersChris also shares how his background shaped his view of prayer and liturgy, and how his approach has matured over time—from additives to preservatives. He emphasizes that sanctification is a lifelong process and that spiritual disciplines are preparation for eternity—our spiritual “go-bag.”We close by discussing practical steps for building rhythms:* Create space in your schedule intentionally* Find times that work for you* Surround yourself with spiritually mature mentors* Use helpful resources like the YouVersion Bible App and BibleProject* Read thoughtfully and dig deeper than surface-level contentThe big takeaway:The question isn’t just, “Would you die for Jesus?”It’s, “Will you live for Him — daily, intentionally, rhythmically?”Spiritual disciplines aren’t about merit. They’re about movement. They train us, mature us, and tune us to God’s eternal tempo.
