  Episode #81

  81 | International Orange on the Golden Gate Bridge

  Aug 20, 202639 min

  What do the Golden Gate Bridge, a very specific shade of orange, and your walk with the Lord have in common? In Episode 81, Richard gives Brad a quick history lesson on one of America’s most iconic landmarks - including some fascinating facts about its famous “International Orange” color and the never-ending work required to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge. But somewhere along the way, a fun conversation about bridges turns into a pretty meaningful Sermon on the Side. Because the Golden Gate Bridge is never really finished being worked on. There’s always something that needs attention - something to inspect, repair, reinforce, or restore. And maybe there’s something beautiful about approaching our faith the same way. Scripture talks about the ongoing renewing of our minds and the continual work God is doing in us. Following Jesus isn’t about reaching some imaginary point where we finally have everything figured out. It’s about continually allowing Him to reveal the places in our lives that need attention - our thoughts, habits, relationships, priorities, attitudes, and desires - and being willing to keep doing the work. So this week, we’re talking bridges, International Orange, sanctification, and what it looks like to live a life that is continually under construction. Because maybe the goal was never to become a finished product. Maybe it’s to stay willing to be worked on.

  78 | Yard Work & Heart Work

  Jul 30, 202635 min

  Weeds have a way of showing up when you least expect them. Left alone, they spread quickly, steal nutrients from healthy plants, and before long, they begin to take over. This week, Richard shares the story of spending several long, hot South Georgia summer days tackling an overgrown bed of azaleas that had become completely entangled with vines and weeds. It was exhausting work, but it revealed an important truth: if you only cut the weeds off at the surface, they'll be back before long. The only lasting solution is to pull them out by the root. That simple lesson from the front yard becomes a powerful reminder for our own hearts. So often we focus on managing behaviors, hiding symptoms, or trimming back the visible issues in our lives, while ignoring the deeper roots that produced them in the first place. But true transformation isn't found in surface-level behavior modification - it's found when Christ changes us from the inside out. Join us as we explore what Scripture says about allowing God to expose and uproot the things that don't belong, cultivating hearts that bear lasting fruit, and embracing the hard work that leads to genuine spiritual growth. Sometimes the greatest heart work begins with a little yard work.

  Episode #77

  77 | Frequency Illusion

  Jul 23, 202638 min

  Have you ever bought a new car, only to suddenly notice that same make, model, and color everywhere you look? This week on Sermons on the Side , Brad and Richard unpack the fascinating psychological phenomenon known as the Frequency Illusion . Richard shares the story of purchasing his Kia Sorento in what he thought was a one-of-a-kind metallic bronze color - only to spend the next week convinced that everyone else had suddenly bought the exact same vehicle. Of course, the world hadn't changed. His attention had. That simple observation opens the door to a much deeper conversation about the Christian life. How often do our emotions, assumptions, fears, or past experiences shape the way we interpret reality? How often do we begin to believe something is true simply because it's what we keep noticing? Scripture repeatedly calls believers to anchor themselves in truth - not feelings, not circumstances, and not the ever-changing narratives of the world around us. When we're rooted in Christ and grounded in God's Word, we're able to recognize the difference between perception and reality, resisting the subtle lies that can so easily shape our thinking. Join us as we explore the psychology behind the Frequency Illusion, the danger of unchecked assumptions, and the life-giving invitation to fix our eyes on Christ - the One who never changes and is always true. Whether you've experienced this phenomenon with a new car, a word, a product, or even a personal fear, this conversation will challenge you to ask an important question: Am I living according to what feels true—or according to what God says is true?

  Episode #76

  76 | Innocent Confidence

  Jul 16, 202638 min

  Sometimes the most profound theology comes from the lips of a child. While celebrating the Fourth of July in Panama City Beach, Richard was carrying his grandson, Bennett, into the surf when Bennett looked up and said something that stopped him in his tracks: "Papi... you're like God." Surprised, Richard asked him why. His answer was as simple as it was profound: "Because you protect me from the waves. You hold me up high, and the waves are down there." In that moment, Bennett wasn't making a theological argument. He was simply expressing the unshakable confidence of a child who knew he was safe in the arms of someone he trusted. What if that's exactly how God invites us to live? In this episode, we continue the conversation from last week's My Shield and Great Reward by exploring the beauty of childlike faith, the confidence we can have in our Father's protection, and the peace that comes when we remember that the waves may be real - but they are always beneath the One who holds us. Join us as we look at Psalm 46 and Psalm 93 , celebrating the God who is stronger than every storm and worthy of our innocent confidence.

  Episode #74

  74 | The Barge

  Jul 2, 202641 min

  A quiet afternoon on a park bench overlooking the Hudson River became an unforgettable lesson about the power of our choices. In this episode, Richard takes us back to his days in Poughkeepsie, New York, where he watched one of the largest barges he'd ever seen make its way down the Hudson River. Within minutes, it had disappeared around the bend and out of sight. But the story wasn't over. Long after the barge was gone, the shoreline began to change. Small ripples became rolling waves. Calm water became restless. The greatest impact came after the vessel could no longer be seen. It's a powerful picture of our own lives. Every decision we make - whether rooted in faith or selfishness, obedience or compromise - creates a wake that extends far beyond what we can see. Our actions influence our families, our friendships, our churches, and generations to come, often in ways we'll never fully realize this side of eternity. Together, Brad and Richard explore the lasting consequences of everyday choices, the invitation to faithfully obey God regardless of immediate results, and the challenge found in Revelation 3:2 to "strengthen what remains." Whether you're walking through a season of discouragement, wondering if your faithfulness matters, or reflecting on the legacy you're leaving behind, this conversation is a reminder that God is at work - even in the wakes we cannot see.
