In John chapter two, he details a wedding that Jesus and the disciples attended, where Jesus performs his first miracle...turning water into wine. We discuss the impact, meaning and symbolism of this in context of where Jesus was in his ministry, and how being 'poured out like a drink offering' as described later by Paul informs us on how we are to live today.

We ask the questions; Who is John, Who is Jesus and Who am I...taken from the back half of John chapter one when John The Baptist points us back to Jesus as the Messiah and from whom our identity lies. We discuss how western culture pushes the ideology of a fluid identity (based on how we feel) and how we need to guard ourselves from it.

On today's episode of the Deeper Podcast, Conduit Student Pastor Joel Kelley and Conduit Kids Pastor Joey Proffitt join Darren Tyler. They discuss navigating how to parent in today's climate and the importance of discipleship within the home.

This week we start diving deeper into the book of John, giving context to who, when and why he wrote the book. We also have a healthy discussion about how progressive christianity wrestles with the truth claims of John, along with how modern science and technology is taking the form of religion.

Darren and Mo welcome their good friend Pastor Gerald Lafleur from Haiti to discuss the current political turmoil that's happening there, and shed some light on how the Church is responding to a country in crisis.

Grady & Becky Pickett and their family join us to share their story of living out the Gospel in Erbil, Iraq.

Darren and Mo are back with a lot to catch up on, starting with a mission and geopolitical update of our friends in Uganda, as well as a conversation about betrayal from the teaching series finale of Psalm 55.

Studying through Psalm 51, we discuss morality and who gets to decide what the moral code is and how it's enforced. This bumps up against cancel culture and the ever-changing rules associated with it. We also discuss the global impact of covid policies.

This week we take time to discuss the impact of Roe v. Wade being overturned, as well as how we navigate through an unstable economy, all while remembering the power of prayer found in Psalm 18.

This week we dive deeper into Psalm 73, where we learn how to pray when our faith is shaken. How do we redirect our sadness and anger towards a culture that seems to be advancing their godless agenda.

Conduit Church Student Pastor Joel Kelley joins Darren and Mo to talk about what student ministry looks like these days, covering a range of topics, but specifically discussing the mental health crisis amongst tween and teens.

As we start a new teaching series this summer (Summer Of Psalms), Pastor Darren kicks things off in chapter 42, where he and Mo discuss the importance of prayer in our daily lives, especially as it relates to our mental and physical health.

This week we wrap up our More Than A Name series, landing on Acts 2:42 and the devotion we are called to...for God's Word, the fellowship of believers, communion and for prayer.

Continuing our More Than A Name series, we discuss a "church on purpose" and what it looks like for each of us to belong and matter in a church family. We also cover the subject of identity politics, inflation, reparations, and being a people of mercy.

This week Mo and Darren take some time to discuss new updates surrounding COVID, as well as the economic impact we are all feeling, along with the upcoming Supreme Court ruling regarding abortion.

We launch a new teaching series called More Than A Name, where we discuss the mission, vision, purpose and values of Conduit and how we got to where we are today. This week we discuss having a strategic insurgence of Jesus people into the culture and marketplace, to take back ground for the Kingdom.

We launch a new teaching series called More Than A Name, where we discuss the mission, vision, purpose and values of Conduit and how we got to where we are today. Conduit isn't just the name of a church, it's a kind of church, and how Scripture lays the groundwork for what this looks like.

The war for our minds has come for our children, unabashedly. How should we respond, and what is our role as the church when a humanistic society targets our faith and our families.

Our guest this week is Dannah Gresh. Dannah shared about fighting to define our daughters in who GOD made them to be, in the midst of a post-Christian world that is attempting to destroy the very definition of being a girl. She also discussed the work they are doing in the Dominican Republic to curb trafficking.Learn more at: www.mytruegirl.com and www.dannahgresh.com

Darren and Mo discuss Romans 15 in light of what is happening in our world and in our culture. How can we impact culture in a way that is unified around the truth of the Gospel and not succumb to division and dissension within our faith communities.

When Paul writes 'It is written' in the book of Romans, what is he referring to? And how do we go about finding cultural and historical context when reading a passage of scripture? What implications does this teaching in Romans have for us today in a humanistic society? We discuss this and more in this weeks podcast. More info:www.crescentproject.orgwww.conduitchurch.com

When tackling Romans 13, we come up against several significant takeaways, which include laws that are illegal vs. legal in light of those that are moral vs. immoral.
