| 6/23/26 | ![]() Listen To Your Heart | Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe | Gavin Adams | In this episode, we wrap up our series titled "Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe" where we explore the often misguided advice of "follow your heart." Join us as we dive into the complexities of trusting our hearts and the potential pitfalls that come with it. Gavin shares personal anecdotes from his upbringing in the 1970s, discussing the music that shaped his youth and how the mantra of following your heart has permeated our culture—from Disney movies to graduation speeches. He challenges the notion that our hearts are always trustworthy, referencing biblical insights from Jeremiah, Paul, and Solomon to illustrate that our hearts can be deceitful. Throughout the episode, we explore four practical steps to help you navigate your feelings and desires while trusting God instead of your heart. Learn how to question your feelings, let Scripture guide you, invite wise counsel, and submit your entire heart to God. If you've ever found yourself in a situation where your heart led you astray, this episode is for you. Discover how to redirect your heart and trust the God who knows you best. Topics Covered: - The cultural mantra of "follow your heart" - Personal stories and music references - Biblical insights on the heart's deceitfulness - Four steps to trust God with your heart --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() God Has A Blueprint For My Life | Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe | Bradley Hamilton | In this thought-provoking episode of our podcast, Bradley Hamilton dives deep into the common belief that "God has a plan for your life." While this sentiment is often well-intentioned, Bradley challenges the notion of a strict blueprint for our lives, arguing that it can lead to unnecessary pressure, decision fatigue, and fear. Instead, he proposes a shift in perspective: rather than focusing on a predetermined plan, we should embrace the idea that "God has a purpose for your life." This purpose centers around loving God and loving others, which can be applied in any situation, job, or relationship. Bradley offers three insightful questions to help guide our decision-making process: 1. Does this decision help me become more like Jesus? 2. Does this demonstrate love for others? 3. What's the wise thing to do? Join us as we explore how to navigate life's choices with intention and clarity, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and meaningful relationships. Whether you're facing a big decision or simply seeking to deepen your faith, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement. The Main Idea: Hard seasons are not always signs of disobedience. God often uses valleys for growth and dependence. Many biblical heroes experienced fear, doubt, loneliness, and depression. Spiritual maturity is often developed through difficulty. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

Whether you're a man of any age, a father, or someone who interacts with men in your life, this series is relevant for you. We delve into the narratives and expectations that shape our understanding of masculinity, often handed down through family, culture, and society. Through engaging stories and historical examples, including a fascinating look at Genghis Khan's definition of masculinity, we challenge the conventional scripts that have been passed down to us. We also discuss the importance of self-reflection and understanding the scripts we've been given, and how they influence our lives and relationships. As we navigate these complex topics, we emphasize the model of masculinity found in Jesus, who embodies both strength and humility. This episode sets the stage for a deeper conversation about what it means to follow Jesus and how that impacts our understanding of manhood.

| 2/23/26 | ![]() The King's Fight | The Last Kingdom | Bryant Golden | In this thought-provoking episode, we return to our series "The Last Kingdom" by beginning with a captivating parable about a young girl on a swim team who, unaware of the competitive nature of the sport, finds joy in meeting new friends instead of winning races. This story serves as a metaphor for how we often run different races in life, sometimes missing the true purpose of our journey. As we transition into the core message, we discuss the significance of recognizing Jesus not just as a personal savior but as God's final king who established a kingdom that transforms our lives and communities here and now.

| 2/18/26 | ![]() Ultimate Allegiance | The Last Kingdom | Bryant Golden | In this episode, we confront a common—but incomplete—view of Jesus. Many of us have embraced Him as Savior—sin forgiver, debt payer, ticket to heaven—while missing the dominant message of the New Testament: Jesus as King. The word Χριστός (Christos), translated “Christ,” wasn’t originally a last name—it was a royal title meaning “Anointed One.” From the very beginning of His ministry, Jesus announced the arrival of God’s reign and rule. His core message was clear: The time has come. Repent. Seek first the kingdom. We unpack repentance not as guilt-driven shame, but as a thoughtful change of mind—a shift in allegiance. In a world where people were forced to pledge loyalty to Rome, Jesus offered a better King. One who serves instead of being served. One who sacrifices instead of demanding sacrifice. At the root of our resistance to surrender is distrust—the ancient lie that God cannot be trusted with our deepest happiness. That’s why Jesus teaches us to pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done.” God’s reign advances wherever His will is lived out through us. So the question becomes: Where are you resisting King Jesus? What are you holding onto? Because whatever you refuse to surrender may actually be ruling you. Jesus didn’t just come to save you from something—He came to lead you into life under the good and trustworthy rule of a perfect King. Topics Covered: -The royal meaning of “Christ” -Repentance as a shift in allegiance -Jesus’ upside-down model of kingship -Why trust is at the center of surrender -What it means to seek first the kingdom Read along with our chosen scripture: Mark 1:15; Matthew 6:9–10, 25, 31–33 The Main Idea: People all over the world claim to be Christian, based on a belief that Jesus is the ultimate king. But at times, we can find ourselves living in defiance of the very king we swear allegiance to. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

| 2/9/26 | ![]() The Story Line | The Last Kingdom | Bryant Golden | In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the essence of who Jesus is and what it means to truly embrace His identity as the King. If you've ever felt disillusioned or disconnected from the concept of faith, this episode is for you. Join us as we explore the idea that many people have been introduced to a version of Jesus that doesn't align with the original teachings of the New Testament. We discuss how the translation of key terms, like "Christ," has shaped our understanding and often reduced Jesus to mere functions rather than recognizing Him as the Anointed One and King. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of understanding Jesus' primary purpose—not just as a sin forgiver or comforter, but as the one who came to reign and establish God's final kingdom. We unpack various scriptures from the Gospels that highlight this kingdom theology and challenge listeners to reconsider their beliefs and how they engage with the world around them. Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus or someone exploring faith for the first time, this episode invites you to rethink your perspective and consider the profound implications of Jesus as King in your life today. Topics Covered: -The true identity of Jesus as King -The impact of translation on our understanding of Jesus -The significance of kingdom theology in the New Testament -How to live out the principles of Jesus' kingdom in our daily lives Read along with our chosen scripture: Matthew 1:1, 18; 6:10, 33; Mark 1:14–15; 14:61–62, 64; Luke 1:32–33; John 1:41, 49; 20:30–31; Philippians 2:10–11 The Main Idea: The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "Anointed One" or “King,” not a name. And the message of the Gospel is not just about personal salvation, but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

| 1/27/26 | ![]() One Extreme Decision Away | Challenge Accepted | Bryant Golden | In this episode, we dive into the final part of our series, "Challenge Accepted." Join us as we explore the complexities of faith, the challenges we face in our lives, and the importance of making courageous decisions. We discuss how life is filled with difficult choices that can feel overwhelming, whether it's restoring relationships, overcoming addictions, or coming back to faith after being hurt. The episode emphasizes that while small, wise decisions shape our future, there are pivotal moments that require us to take extreme actions that can change the trajectory of our lives.

Key Topics: -The reliability of the Gospels -The criterion of embarrassment -The significance of Jesus' genealogy -Embracing dysfunction and grace -Surrendering labels and finding freedom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are an alternative to church as usual. Our Sunday worship service is approximately a 75-minute experience designed to introduce people to the message of Jesus and equip believers to live their lives in response to the Gospel while their kids enjoy one of our safe children's environments. Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching. We hope you will visit us at Centerpoint Church regardless of what your past church experience has looked like. | — | ||||||
