In the fourth episode of their June series, Greg and Nathan reflect on two pastors whose thoughtful teaching and faithful ministry have profoundly influenced their spiritual growth. Greg shares about John Stott, known for his clear biblical exposition and commitment to Christ-centered preaching, while Nathan discusses Tim Keller and his winsome approach to the gospel, apologetics, and engaging culture with Biblical truth. Along the way, they provide a brief introduction to each pastor, explore what they most appreciate about their ministries, and discuss how God has used their teaching to strengthen their faith and deepen their love for Scripture. Tune in as they wrap up this special series by celebrating the lasting impact of faithful gospel ministry.

In Episode 3, Greg and Nathan turn from the soaring doctrine to everyday implications in Colossians chapter 3. Because believers have died and been raised with Christ, Paul calls them to set their minds on things above, to put to death earthly passions and put on the new self that reflects Christ, who is all and in all. What does it really mean to “seek the things that are above” (Colossians 3:1–2)? How do Christians understand having “died” and being “hidden with Christ in God”? And how does sanctification differ from mere moralism or self-help spirituality? Greg and Nathan explore the grace-driven effort of sanctification, the lifelong “put off / put on” pattern of the Christian life, and how union with Christ transforms everything — from private thought life to public relationships. Paul’s vision is not abstract theology; it reshapes marriage, parenting, work, and the unity of the church. This episode invites you to see sanctification not as self-improvement, but as Spirit-empowered transformation flowing from union with the risen Lord.

In Episode 1: “The Supremacy of Christ” (Colossians 1), Greg and Nathan explore how the supremacy of Jesus shapes our theology, our worship, and our daily lives—grounded in the sovereignty of God, the sufficiency of Scripture, and our union with Christ. The conversation centers on Paul’s exalted vision of Jesus as Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer. From Christ as the image of the invisible God to the hope-filled mystery of “Christ in you,” this episode lays the foundation for the entire letter, showing how the gospel not only saves but sustains and transforms the church. This series invites listeners to behold Christ as preeminent in all things—and to live like He truly is.

For the second week of Core, hosts Greg and Nathan tackle one of the most difficult and misunderstood questions in the church today: whether the Bible has a coherent and consistent vision for sexuality and gender. Rather than singling out one issue, they examine God’s design for sex, the many ways humans depart from it, and why Scripture applies the same standard to everyone. This episode confronts charges of hypocrisy, challenges selective outrage, and asks a deeper question: not who fails, but who defines what faithfulness actually is.

In this opening episode, hosts Greg and Nathan begin with clarity in a confused cultural moment. They walk through Scripture to show how God’s design for sexuality and gender is rooted in creation, reaffirmed by Jesus, and aimed at human flourishing. This conversation isn’t about politics or singling out groups—it’s about what God has clearly said, why His boundaries are good, and how truth and compassion belong together. Before discussing complexity or pastoral care, Greg and Nathan lay the biblical foundation for understanding sex, gender, marriage, and identity in light of God’s good design.
