BEFORE YOU GO - Who Am I? (5/11/25)

Before You Go - "Who Am I?" - Genesis 1:26-28, 2:7; Psalm 8:4-6; Colossians 2:6-7

Just like Adam and Even in the Garden, so too the work of. God's creation of humanity continues to this very day. Just as He first breathed the first breath of life into Adam, so too, God the creator, continues to breathe in each of us His breath of life. Apart from His breath, there is no life. This is why it is so important that we confess in faith and receive the Holy Spirit - who is called the breath of God. And when we receive Him, we have Him forever! We are created in the image of God and are to reflect the glory of God. We are to point others to God. Therefore, our identity is not tied up in a feeling, anxiety, temptation, or a sin that compels us - our identity is in God who orchestrates the tiniest detail of our lives. You are NOT an accident; you were created in the image of God himself, and you exist for HIS purpose. Because of who He is and what He has done, you are destined for eternity when you trust Him and His word and put your life in His hands.

The One with the Worship Dad and the Love Songs

In this week’s Beyond Sunday, Josh is joined by Paxton, Michael, and the legendary Paul Goodman—one of New Work’s original worship culture builders and long-time elder. The team dives into an unforgettable round of "Bible or Breakup Ballad?"—a lyric guessing game that blurs the line between Song of Solomon and Shawn Mendes, complete with coffee wagers and surprise reveals. Their hilarious and heartfelt reflections remind us just how moving, misunderstood, and musically rich the Bible can be.

Then, the focus shifts to Paxton’s message from the “Before You Go” series, walking through the "Four C’s" that build our confidence in Scripture’s truth: Continuity, Content, Consistency, and Correctness. The conversation gets real about wrestling with doubt, bad theology we may have inherited, and the Bible’s prophetic power. With insightful stats on prophecy fulfillment, personal stories of rediscovery, and Paul’s encouragement about revival among the youth, this episode is both intellectually stirring and spiritually uplifting.

BEFORE YOU GO - Is the Bible True? (5/4/25)

Before You Go - "Is the Bible True?" - 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Ephesians 5:26 declares that what makes the church beautiful is the thorough washing of the Bride (of Christ) by the Word of God. Proverbs 4:23, tells us to guard our heart—because it is prone to evil.So the way you do that is by a thorough washing of the mind in the scriptures.

Fidelity to the Word of God is not foolish and mindless following—it is the humble awareness that truth is bigger than my mind, my feelings, and my investigation. Be loyal to the Word for it is the pathway to personal transformation: Romans 12:2.

The Sauce Boss and the Gospel

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Justin Eshenbaugh, Michael Shearon, Josh Hensley, and Chaney Guffey gather around the mic to kick off the new sermon series, Before You Go. After settling the all-important debate—yes, we’re going with New Workians—the crew unpacks how the Church isn’t declining but surging with opportunity. From campus revivals to powerful moments in ordinary workplaces, they discuss how every believer has the chance to change the world by simply being obedient right where they are.

The conversation gets personal as each host reflects on Kevin’s four sermon points: Get Prayed Up, Stay Filled Up, Prepare to Give Up, and Get Out. Chaney shares how her journey into the residency program required deep surrender, while Josh and Michael discuss the importance of staying spiritually filled in order to live with a “get to” mindset. Plus, the team previews upcoming events: a special Graduation Sunday with a seafood boil and studio-crafted gifts, VBS, camps, and an unforgettable Mother’s Day surprise that may rival Santa.

BEFORE YOU GO - The Great Opportunity (4/27/25)

Before You Go - "The Great Opportunity" - Acts 2:17-18, 2 Timothy 3:1-2, 1 Timothy 4:1, 1 Peter 3:15

What we are seeing in the movement away from the church (a real thing) is not a new thing. It is forecast from the beginning and the truth is, it is seen in every generation. Everything old is new again Notice what the Bible says about the "Last Days." We have been in the last days from the time of the Resurrection forward. This is not just a "great falling away." This is also a great rising of faith. It is, as is true for every age - not just a time of falling aside but calling to rise. And you see it in the church today.  Do not despair of the church. This is a great opportunity!

Bow Ties, Bomber Jackets, and the Blood of Jesus

This week on Beyond Sunday, Steve Buttram hosts a lively roundtable with Paxton Redd, Josh Hensley, Kevin Lee, and Tate Wells as they reflect on an unforgettable Easter at the Bruce. With humor and humility, they recount wardrobe misfires (“pastel regrets,” bomber jackets, and comb-over comments), but quickly turn to the deeper beauty of the day: baptisms, salvations, and the unshakable presence of Jesus. The team marvels at how everything flowed—from worship to the Word—and how it all pointed to Christ, not performance. Kevin walks through the heart of his Easter message, Death Will Die, reminding listeners that Jesus’ resurrection doesn’t just mean life after death, but freedom from shame, sin, and the power of the curse.

The conversation digs into the emotional tension between repentance and shame, emphasizing how genuine repentance turns us back to grace rather than weighing us down in guilt. Kevin shares a powerful illustration about returning to sin, using a dog and a hidden chain to reveal how shame can either drive us to freedom or keep us trapped. The crew closes with a preview of the new series, Before You Go, aimed at equipping people for the transitions of life with gospel truth. Kevin believes we may be on the edge of a great spiritual awakening, and this series is positioned to speak boldly into that cultural moment. Plus, a listener-submitted question lets Josh open up about how he prayerfully and thoughtfully selects worship songs to align with the teaching—though he jokes about using a hat and some divine finger-pointing from Tate.

THE END IN MIND - Death Will Die (4/20/25)

The End in Mind - "Death Will Die" - 1 Corinthians 15:31-57

What do you call it when we plan for every contingency in life, but completely ignore the one certainty? Foolishness. What is the one absolute certainty that is true for every man, woman, and child? It is the certainty of death.

Now in a way, we don't want to talk about death. We would like to think that we will be the one exception to the overwhelming statistic that has held true from the beginning: for every one that has lived, so far - one of of every one - also dies. Death is the great equalizer.

Heaven Is Real, and So Is Alicia

This week’s episode brings together some serious theology and some not-so-serious heavenly floor plans. Alicia Lancaster joins Josh, Evan, and Tate—yes, the Alicia who’s been name-dropped in past episodes—for a lighthearted but heartfelt conversation on the hope of Heaven. Things kick off with a playful discussion about what you'd want in your heavenly mansion (spoiler: it includes gym gear, hammocks, and Optimus Prime).

But the episode quickly leans into a powerful recap of Michael's message from Sunday, reflecting on the real and urgent nature of Heaven and Hell. The team shares emotional moments from staff meetings, altar prayer times, and their personal burden for those who haven’t yet come to know Christ. It’s a timely conversation right before Easter, full of challenge and encouragement. You’ll laugh, you might tear up—and you’ll definitely be reminded of the eternal hope we have in Jesus.

THE END IN MIND - Our Hope in Death, the Promise of Heaven (4/13/25)

The End in Mind - "Our Hope in Death, the Promise of Heaven" - Revelation 21:1-8

What do you call it when we plan for every contingency in life, but completely ignore the one certainty? Foolishness. What is the one absolute certainty that is true for every man, woman, and child? It is the certainty of death.
