Sermon On the Mount: Judging
S4E14 — JudgingWe're back for Season 4! In this episode, we untie the knots around one of the most misused verses in Scripture: "Judge not." What did Jesus actually mean when He said this in the Sermon on the Mount?We dig into Matthew 5-7, breaking down Jesus' teaching on true righteousness — covering alms, prayer, fasting, money, and worry — and asking what it really means to judge rightly (John 7:24) instead of judging like the world does. Along the way we pull in Paul's teaching from Romans and 1 Corinthians on handling disagreements within the church, and close with practical takeaways for living this out.Kick things off with us as we catch up on life, ministry, and what's been on the grill lately, then dive into the Word together.Scripture referenced: Matthew 5-7, James 4, John 7:24, Romans 1-2 & 14, 1 Corinthians 8-10, Philippians 2 & 4

Sermon On The Mount: Worry
UNTIED Podcast — Season 4, Episode 13: Worry Worry has a way of taking over, quietly convincing us it's productive, necessary, even reasonable. In this episode, we dig into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, tracing His teaching in Matthew 5 through the contrasts He draws in chapter 6: heaven and earth, light and dark, God and wealth, faith and work. Using Christ's own illustrations- the birds of the air, the lilies of the field, the futility of adding a single hour to our lives- we unpack why worry is ultimately unproductive, unnecessary, and unbecoming of a life anchored in faith. Along the way, we revisit the "nots" of Matthew 6 and ask the question at the heart of it all: will you let worry take over your heart and mind, or will you let faith lead it?Scriptures referenced: Matthew 5–6; 1 Peter 5:7; Romans 12:1-2; Philippians 2:20, 4:6; Colossians 3:1-2, 15-17

Sermon on the Mount: Prayer
Welcome back to UNTIED, where we unravel the knots of life with faith, wisdom, and encouragement! This episode, we're back in the Sermon on the Mount, digging into one of Jesus' most personal teachings: prayer.From Matthew 6:5-15, we explore what Jesus says about how — and how not — to pray, breaking down His instructions verse by verse (vv. 9-10, 11, 12-13) and unpacking the "do nots" found in verses 5, 7, 13, and 15. As part of Jesus' broader teaching on righteousness in Matthew 5:20, we'll see how prayer, alongside almsgiving, reveals the heart behind our walk with God.Plus, we kick things off with "What's Been Cooking?" — catching up on life, ministry, and what's on the grill — before wrapping up with practical takeaways you can carry into your own prayer life this week.Grab your Bible and join Garrett and Corey as we untie tradition and embrace truth, one conversation at a time.Scripture referenced: Matthew 5:20; Matthew 6:5-15; Matthew 6:9; Matthew 6:14-15; Matthew 18:1-20; Romans 8; Romans 12:12; Philippians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; 1 John 3-4; 1 John 5:14-15

Sermon on the Mount: Alms
UNTIED PODCASTSeason 4, Episode 10 — AlmsRecording Date: June 9, 2026 | Post Date: June 11, 2026SHOW DESCRIPTIONWelcome to Season 4, Episode 10 of the UNTIED Podcast!

Plus, catch up on what's been happening in life, ministry, and on the grill before diving into the text together.WELCOME"Welcome to the UNTIED Podcast, where we unravel the knots of life with faith, wisdom, and encouragement—because together, we're here to untie from tradition and embrace truth through powerful Bible teaching!"SEGMENT 1 — What's Been Cooking?Garrett and Corey kick things off with their signature catchphrase and check in on life — what's been happening in ministry, at home, and yes… on the grill?What's going on in your life?What's happening in your ministry?And most importantly — what's been on the grill?!SEGMENT 2 — The Sermon on the Mount: Alms (Matthew 6:1-4)This week's teaching dives into Jesus' instruction on giving — specifically the practice of almsgiving. As part of His broader Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges His followers to examine the motive behind their generosity.Study Breakdown: The Six Contrasts of Matthew 5 (Background)Jesus sets up His teaching on righteous living beginning in Matthew 5:20 with the thesis: our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. He works through six contrasts between external religion and heart-level discipleship:Contrast #1 — Anger (vv. 21-26)Contrast #2 — Adultery / Lust (vv. 27-32)Contrast #3 — Divorce (vv. 31-33)Contrast #4 — Vows / Oaths (vv. 33-37)Contrast #5 — Revenge and Love (vv. 38-48)Contrast #6 — Vengeance (vv. 43-48)Moving Into Matthew 6 — AlmsJesus now turns from how we treat others to how we practice righteousness before God. The focus: don't do your giving to be seen by men. True generosity flows from a heart surrendered to God, not from a desire for human applause.The warning against giving to be seen (Matthew 6:1)The right way to give — in secret (Matthew 6:2-4)The promise: your Father who sees in secret will reward youSEGMENT 3 — TakeawaysWhat does this passage mean for us today?

Sermon on the Mount: Vows/Oaths
UNTIED Podcast | Season 4, Episode 8 — Vows & Oaths Posted: May 28, 2026In this episode, Garrett and Corey continue the Season 4 deep dive into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, working through Matthew 5 and arriving at the fourth contrast Jesus draws between the religious traditions of His day and the heart of true righteousness.After catching up on what's been happening in life, ministry, and (inevitably) the grill, the episode turns to Matthew 5:33–37 — Jesus' teaching on vows and oaths. Building on the thesis of Matthew 5:20, each contrast in this section of the Sermon raises the bar beyond external rule-keeping to matters of the heart. Here, Jesus challenges the culture of oath-making that had developed around the Law, where people used elaborate swearing formulas as loopholes for honesty. His instruction is straightforward: let your yes be yes, and your no be no.To get there, the episode traces the full biblical arc on oaths, from Old Testament commands in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers, to wisdom literature's warnings in Ecclesiastes, to the way Paul himself carefully qualifies his own speech in his letters. Jesus' own silence before the High Priest in Matthew 26 and the religious leaders' misuse of oath-taking in Matthew 23 are also examined.Key themes: integrity of speech, the root of deception, what it means to take God's name seriously, and why Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard than oath-bound promises.Scriptures referenced in this episode: Leviticus 19:12 · Deuteronomy 23:21 · Numbers 30:2 · Ecclesiastes 5:4–5 · Matthew 5:33–37 · Matthew 23:16–22 · Matthew 26:63–64 · 2 Corinthians 1:23–24 · Romans 1:9 · 1 Thessalonians 5:27 · Philippians 1:8 · 2 Timothy 4:1 · Exodus 22:9–10 · Numbers 5:19(Earlier segments also reference: 1 Corinthians 8–10; Romans 15:1–2; Matthew 18; James 3:1–10; Job 31:1; 1 John 2:16, 3:15; John 8:4; 1 Corinthians 7:10–11; Matthew 19:1–10; Romans 7:1–8)Have questions or comments?
