Can God really forgive anyone? What about someone whose past feels too broken... too sinful... too far gone?
In this message, Toby walks through the Gospel of Jesus Christ directly from Scripture, explaining why we all need a Savior, why Jesus had to die, and how His death and resurrection provide the only hope for forgiveness and eternal life.
Whether you've followed Christ for years or you're simply searching for answers, this message points to the hope found in Jesus Christ alone.
There was room for the thief. There is room for you.
A biblical study of the Holy Spirit’s work in convicting the world of sin and pointing people to their need for Christ.
A continuation of the study exploring how God's initiative through the Holy Spirit calls every person to respond to Christ in faith and repentance.
Recorded among the towering redwoods, this message reflects on the greatness of God revealed through creation and the grace of God revealed through the cross.
Creation tells you how great He is.
The cross tells you how gracious He is.
This message is an invitation to look beyond the beauty of creation to the Creator—and to remember that His greatness is matched by His grace.
What happens when someone hears the Gospel but never changes? This message explores the difference between biblical separation and Christian isolation—and challenges believers to hold firmly to truth while continuing to love people who believe, live, or think differently.
If they never change… will you?
They Answer to God. So Do You. is a reminder that being convinced someone is wrong does not give us permission to treat them with contempt. Scripture calls us to speak truth, hold our convictions, and remember that every person is made in the image of God. Their accountability before God does not erase ours.
This message explores the difference between conviction, condemnation, and redemption—and why, when we share the Gospel, we must be careful not to leave people only with condemnation. We aren’t called to win arguments; we’re called to faithfully deliver the message of our King and point people to the Savior.
Jesus sent us into the world not as condemning judges, but as ambassadors for Christ—speaking truth in love and carrying the Gospel of reconciliation to those who need Him.
Learn how Christians can faithfully approach difficult questions by standing firmly on God's Word while responding with humility, grace, and truth.

God calls us to proclaim the truth, but He never calls us to change hearts. Discover how understanding the difference can transform the way we share the Gospel.
This teaching explores the danger of becoming more committed to defending our opinions than discovering God’s truth. God does not change, and His truth does not change—but our understanding can grow when we approach His Word with humility and a teachable heart.
Season 1 Episode 1
Before we speak to someone about Christ, correct someone, or enter a difficult conversation, we should first remember our own need for grace. In this episode, we explore how remembering our own sin produces humility—not compromise—and helps us speak God’s truth with the grace and compassion of Christ.
Season 1 Episode 2
Before you speak, pray first.
It’s easy to spend more time preparing our arguments than preparing our hearts. In Episode 2 of Before You Speak…, we look at why prayer should come before the difficult conversation, before the online response, and before we try to point someone toward Christ.
Prayer reminds us that we are responsible for faithfully speaking the truth in love—but God is the One who works in hearts.
Before you prepare your words, prepare your heart. Pray first.
Season 1 Episode 3
Before we respond, correct someone, or enter a difficult conversation, we should first take the time to truly listen. In this episode, we explore how listening doesn’t require agreement or compromise—it helps us understand the person in front of us so we can respond with God’s truth, wisdom, grace, and the compassion of Christ.
In the series Don’t Be Afraid of the Hard Questions. Bring Them., we take on difficult questions in a fast-paced, short, and punchy format—cutting through the noise and getting straight to biblical truth with Christlike compassion.
Season 1 Episode 1
In Episode 1, “When the World Broke,” we tackle a hard question: If God created the world good, why is there so much suffering, disease, brokenness, and death?
We go back to Scripture and the Fall to see what the Bible actually says happened to God’s good creation—and why the brokenness we see today is not the end of the story.
Season 1 Episode 2
If God knew Adam would eat the forbidden fruit, why put the tree in the Garden at all? Was it a trap? Did God set humanity up to fail? In this episode, we tackle the difference between God knowing a choice will be made and God causing that choice to be made. One garden. One boundary. One warning. And one very hard question.
Don’t be afraid of the hard questions. Bring them.
Season 1 Episode 3
The flock can be wrong. In Episode 3, a chicken coop becomes the perfect place to ask a hard question: Do we believe what we believe because the Bible actually says it—or because somebody told us it does? Biblical faith isn’t afraid to open the Bible, search the Scriptures, and ask, “Lord, if I’m wrong, show me.”
Don’t be afraid of the hard questions. Bring them.
Season 1 Episode 4
This episode challenges Christians to rethink the goal of Gospel conversations: winning an argument isn’t the same as reaching a person. Speak the truth, defend the faith, and point people to Jesus, but remember: right argument, wrong heart is still wrong.
Don’t be afraid of the hard questions. Bring them.
Season 1 Episode 5
Where is God when people suffer? In this episode of Don’t Be Afraid of the Hard Questions, we look at what Scripture says about sin, suffering, death, and God’s response to a broken world. We may not know why God allows every tragedy, but we do know this: He is not distant. Jesus entered our suffering, defeated death, His Spirit is with believers now, and He is coming back to make all things right.
Don’t be afraid of the hard questions. Bring them.
