We all like the idea of loving like Jesus... right up until it actually costs us something. 😅

In episode 12 of our Umbrella of Mercy series, we're doing a quick status check on how we're doing as practitioners of sacrificial love. True love isn't just a warm feeling—it's a choice to lay down our comfort, our preferences, and sometimes our sanity for the sake of others.

Join us as we look at how leaning into God's mercy gives us the strength to serve one another and level up our generosity, shifting from a place of "convenient" faith to a lifestyle of real, sacrificial love. (Even when it hurts your wallet or your schedule!)

What happens when "church family" feels more exhausting than encouraging? In Episode 10 of Umbrella of Mercy, we're asking the uncomfortable question: Do we actually have to like each other? It's easy to talk about Christian community, but it's a lot harder to live it out when personalities clash, offenses happen, and people get on your nerves. In this conversation, Brandon and Nicky look past the surface-level pleasantries to talk about the raw reality of spiritual family, the boundaries of grace, and what it looks like to stay at the table when loving each other gets tough. In this episode, we unpack: The Reality of Friction: Why church community is naturally messy (and why that's okay). Grace vs. Enabling: How to practice unconditional love without sacrificing healthy boundaries. Staying at the Table: What Jesus actually meant when He commanded us to love one another.

In Episode 9 of Umbrella of Mercy, Brandon and Nicky explore"Where Wisdom Begins." If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to make the right decisions, or if you're just tired of the world's version of "being smart," this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• Brandon's Take: Breaking down what "the fear of the Lord" actually means (hint: it's not about being terrified, it's about perspective).

• Nicky's Take: Keeping it real on how to apply ancient truths to our chaotic, everyday lives.

• The Big Picture: Why true wisdom always starts with humility and a willingness to listen.
