  • Simply biblical truth

    I can’t tell you how many times, an episode just came on since I subscribed and it’s points me to biblical truth. It constantly reminds me convicts of sin and reminds me of the Gospel. I don’t go to this church. It doesn’t matter. Truth is truth. Highly recommend.

  • Life changing

    I started listening to this podcast 2 months ago and have been making my way through all the episodes. I am convicted every time I turn this on. I love the way James and his co-hosts are just so straightforward with their message. I understand so much more of the gospel now thanks to reading scripture daily and listening to this podcast frequently. How did I ever do life without Jesus? Gosh, am I thankful that I finally accepted the good news of the gospel 42 years into life. Y’all keep doing wh... more

  • Amazing

    I love this podcast and it always leaves me wanting more. Sharing such great messages and giving great real life examples to give people real perspective on how to live more gratefully, peacefully and intentionally. I always had my own beliefs and faith but lacked a formal education in it if you will. These podcasts along with my Bible study are helping me to know Jesus and follow him. THANK YOU!

  • Grateful for this resource!

    I look forward to this podcast every week! Every episode helps solidify the message from Sunday. (And if you happened to miss Sunday’s message, it’s a great resource!)

    I’m grateful for the teachings that are captured here and the way they encourage me to dig deeper in my faith and learning. Extremely thankful to be part of a church that provides such solid Biblically-rooted teaching and for the team that’s putting this out there.

  • Deeper dive into the word

    I love how this is a follow up to the sermon preached!! This is what we need to be filling our minds with instead of social media scrolls. If we get this poured into ourselves this will overflow onto others around us. So thankful to call Crosspoint City church my home and to have such great biblical teaching!! Speaking truth in ways anyone can relate to or understand!!

Is It Too Late for Me to Start Over? w/Joshua Broome | The Pursuit with James Griffin
Q: What did it feel like to be written off, and how did Joshua Broome come back from it?
Joshua describes growing up feeling defined by absence and brokenness, then experiencing a pivotal moment when someone spoke his real name and affirmed his inherent worth, leading him to return home and pursue healing through faith, community, and truth.
Shattered by Loss, Restored by Jesus w/ Courtney Pray Duke | The Pursuit with James Griffin
Q: What would you say to those listening who feel the Lord prompting them to surrender?
Surrendering is about laying down what you think is best to trust God's best, even when it's scary or costly, because God can restore and give purpose beyond what we can imagine.
The Most Dangerous Person in Your Church | The Pursuit with James Griffin
Q: How should listeners handle friendships that pull them away from their faith?

The Most Dangerous Person in Your Church | The Pursuit with James Griffin
Q: What does leadership look like when dealing with divisive behavior in a church?
The shepherd must protect the flock, confront unrepentant divisive behavior, and, if necessary, remove those who refuse to repent, always aiming for restoration if possible.
[REPLAY] Jase Robertson & Biblical Manhood | The Pursuit with James Griffin

Jase reflects that coming to understand God's love through the cross motivated him to forgive his dad, realizing it was necessary to extend grace to others, especially his father.
