19 MAR 2026 · We’re kicking off a new series on It’s Not Complicated called Sunday School Deep Dive, where we take a closer look at passages many of us heard growing up but may not fully understand. In this episode, we explore Original Sin through Romans 5:12–21 and what Paul means when he says sin entered the world through one man. We talk about the connection between Adam and Jesus and how Paul contrasts sin with the overwhelming power of grace. Join us as we break it down.

12 MAR 2026 · This episode of It’s Not Complicated looks at two passages about Judas: Matthew 27:3–10 and Acts 1:15–20. Matthew describes Judas returning the thirty pieces of silver and the priests using the money to buy the potter’s field. Acts describes the field becoming associated with Judas in a different way. The podcast explores how these passages present two different versions of the same story.

5 MAR 2026 · In this episode of It’s Not Complicated, we explore how Gospel of Luke 5:1–11 and Gospel of John 21:1–14 share the powerful story of a miraculous catch of fish in two different seasons of the disciples’ lives. One marks the moment Jesus first calls them to follow Him, and the other happens after the resurrection as He restores and recommissions them. Both moments show that Jesus meets us in our ordinary routines and calls us into greater purpose. When we trust His voice, He fills our nets and transforms our lives.

26 FEB 2026 · In this episode of It’s Not Complicated, we break down the tension between 2 Samuel 21:15–22 and 1 Chronicles 20:5 and the question of who killed Goliath. At first glance, the passages seem to conflict, but a closer look reveals important context and manuscript details. We explore how the accounts of Goliath and David fit into the broader story of Israel’s battles with the Philistines. Two sides to one story, because when you dig deeper, it’s not complicated.

23 FEB 2026 · This week on It’s Not Complicated, we’re breaking down David’s two origin stories from 1 Samuel 16 and 1 Samuel 17. In one scene, David is already in Saul’s court playing harp and soothing royal meltdowns and in the next, he’s the random shepherd kid nobody seems to recognize, volunteering to fight Goliath. So… is he the trusted court musician or the pizza delivery boy turned giant slayer? We untangle the timeline tension, the storytelling layers, and why the Bible might be giving us two spotlights instead of one.

12 FEB 2026 · On It’s Not Complicated, we talked about Genesis 1:1–3 and Genesis 2:4b–7 and how they’re really telling the same creation story, but in totally different ways. Genesis 1 feels big and powerful, with God speaking the world into existence in a beautiful, orderly rhythm. Then Genesis 2 zooms in and gets personal, showing God forming a human from dust and breathing life into him. Instead of clashing, these two versions actually fit together, giving us a bigger and more personal picture of who God is.

22 JAN 2026 · In this episode of It’s Not Complicated, we talk about the impact of giving and tithing through the lens of Matthew 25:14—the Parable of the Talents. We break down what it really means to be faithful with what God has given us, from our finances to our time and abilities. The pastors share how generosity builds trust, strengthens our faith, and creates real impact when we choose to invest instead of hold back.
