  • Following Jesus in a Divided World
    Jul 6 2026

    Following Jesus isn't always easy—especially when your faith is tested at home and in the public square. In this episode, we tackle two challenging questions that many Christians are asking today: What if your spouse doesn't believe? and Has Christianity become too political?

    We'll explore what Scripture says about loving and honoring an unbelieving spouse without compromising your faith, and we'll discuss how Christians can faithfully engage political issues while keeping their ultimate allegiance to Jesus Christ. From navigating spiritual differences in marriage to resisting the temptation to let politics shape our theology, this conversation is centered on one truth: our identity is found first and foremost in Christ.

    Whether you're facing tension in your home, wrestling with today's political climate, or simply seeking biblical wisdom for an increasingly divided world, this episode will encourage you to stand firmly on God's Word while extending the grace and love of Christ to those around you.

  • Handling Church Wounds
    Jun 15 2026

    Church hurt is one of the most painful experiences a believer can face. When the place that was supposed to bring healing becomes the source of the wound, it can leave us questioning our faith, our community, and sometimes even God Himself.

    In this episode of Detours, we tackle the difficult question: "What do you do after church hurt?" We discuss why hurt within the church cuts so deeply, the difference between being offended and being wounded, how to navigate forgiveness, and what it looks like to trust Jesus when His people have let you down.

    Whether you've walked away from church, are struggling to stay connected, or are helping someone who has been hurt, this conversation offers biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and hope for the journey ahead.

    Because while people may fail us, Jesus never will.
