Matt Chandler, pastor and author is tackling something most of us avoid: God’s holiness. Not the stiff, buttoned-up version you might picture, but the real, raw, powerful kind that changes everything. You don't want to miss.

Christianity. Buddhism. Islam. Hinduism. They all seem to say the same thing, right? Be nice, don’t kill, don’t steal your neighbor’s Wi-Fi, you know the drill. But what if these aren’t just different paths up the same mountain? What if one of them flips the mountain upside down? In this message, Brian Tome unpacks why Christianity isn’t just another rulebook to reach God—it’s a radical invitation into relationship. One filled with grace, transformation, and the presence of the living God. And once you understand the difference, there’s no chance you stay the same.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

If you’ve been burned (or bored) by the Church, you’re not alone. The Church has certainly been responsible for some not-so-great stuff over the years. Sounds hard to believe, but there was a time when the Church was the world’s most powerful force for good. Hospitals, public education, and humanitarian aid—all born from the church.  The church isn’t just a building or an organization, it’s God’s Plan A to bless His people. Even Jesus said it would “do greater things” than even He did while on earth. Whoa. So how do we practically live that out? Brian Tome points us to the power we can have when start to move.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Maybe you’ve seen those priceless paintings in a museum—then spotted the same image in the gift shop on a fridge magnet for $12. It might make you wonder: what’s legit, and what’s just a knockoff? People ask the same thing about Jesus. Was He just a good teacher? Did He even exist? Is He a divine masterpiece—or a cleverly crafted forgery? Join Kyle Ranson as we dive into the evidence, ancient manuscripts, and real-life stories that challenge what you might think you know.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"Truth” seems like it can be pretty subjective these days. Who can you trust? Who has the right sources? Is smooth peanut butter really better than chunky? The Bible can be like a seatbelt. you don’t want to be spinning out in the middle of an intersection and think to yourself, “Wait, can I trust this thing??” This week, Chuck breaks down some of our biggest questions: Is the Bible reliable? Can you trust it with your life? What about all those contradictions? How do we know it hasn’t been corrupted? Following Jesus doesn’t mean checking your brain at the door. We’re diving deep — intellectually and spiritually — into why God’s Word is still the sweetest, most life-giving truth you can build your life on. It’s not just legit. It’s the greatest love story ever told. Grab something sweet and watch along as Chuck Mingo breaks down how you can taste and see that the Lord is good.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Come experience Easter at Crossroads and discover how you can live life to its fullest! Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The wages of sin is death. And Jesus came to pay up. Good Friday is a grim reminder of what sin brings—death and destruction. The only way to pay for that is through a sacrifice. For centuries, that was with a perfect lamb, instituted at the first Passover.Kyle Ranson shows us how through the sacrifice of Good Friday, just became not just a good sacrifice, but THE sacrifice. Friday was only Good because Sunday was coming.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Palm Sunday: parades, palms, and a donkey. Cute. But let’s be honest—this day was never about waving branches. It’s about asking one uncomfortable question: Who’s actually calling the shots in your life? (Spoiler: it might not be who you think.)Brian dives into the gritty side of Holy Week—what people hoped Jesus would be, what he actually was, and why most of the crowd bailed on him a few days later. Hint: He didn’t fit their agenda.You’ll hear about cloaks, freedom, religious drama, and a woman who went from “God probably forgot me” to “I’m getting baptized right now.” It’s raw. It’s real. It might sting a little.So yeah, if you’ve ever tried to get Jesus to cosign your plans, this one’s for you.Hit play. Let it mess with you—in the best way.

The Bible and Science. Cats and Dogs. LeBron and Steph. These have been enemies since the dawn of time….right? There seems to be an element of faith that means you have to check your brain at the door. Just ignore the facts, ignore those scary numbers, drink this delicious Kool-Aid and don’t worry about anything. But what if God calls you to something deeper than that? Kyle Ranson puts on his science teacher tie and walks us through how the Bible isn’t just anti-science, it’s full of God’s invitation to investigate His creation and see just how incredible it is. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Should I do yoga? Play poker? Listen to Cardi B? We all ask questions that the Bible doesn’t seem to actually have an answer for (although if there’s a prophecy about Cardi B that we missed, please let us know). People in Jesus’ time wrestled with similar questions, but when they asked Jesus, He asked them questions that forced them to go deeper. We want a black and white answer, but the truth is God often shows up to meet us in the gray area. So how do we navigate that? Alli Patterson gives us a framework on how to do just that. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Can a Christian get tattoos? What about smoke? Drink? These are all important questions, but it doesn’t matter nearly as much as the deeper question: does it matter what we do with our body? Aren’t we all just meat bags that need to be filled with Taco Bell sometimes until we go to heaven? (Ok, maybe we shouldn’t put the terms “meat bags” and “Taco Bell” in the same sentence). Brian Tome dives into what we do with our body—and why it might matter way more than we think. Recorded Live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

We’ve all been there. You’ve prayed the same thing over and over again, but nothing seems to happen, no matter what you do. After a while, you have to wonder: What’s going on, am I not holy enough or something? Is there some invisible 7'3" NBA center shot blocking these? Or worse: does God even know or care about me? If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone. So what do we do when we feel like that? And is there even a way to start to get more “yeses”? Join Brian Tome as he breaks down the method of prayer taught by the greatest to ever do it: Jesus Himself. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati.

Your phone is a fork. You might be wondering, “When did I download the Fork app?“. Good news, it’s not a premium subscription. But your phone DOES dictate how and what you consume. And for a lot of us, that’s comparison, fear, and distraction. Your enemy has one job: to keep you distracted and asleep so you don’t do anything. This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how we can use our phones like they’re meant to be used, and start feeding ourselves something with real nutrition. You can’t change the world if you don’t have good fuel. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Remember when that guy did the thing that everyone else was doing, nothing happened, nothing changed, and no one cared? Yeah, me neither. There’s a greater call on your life, and you can’t get there by following the current of culture that just wants to sweep you out into a sea of nothingness. You can live a greater story. How? Accept the challenge in front of you and be transformed. Join Chuck Mingo as he shows us how we can step into a greater story and change the world while changing ourselves in the process. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

God wants to give you a gift. Will you receive it? When you think of gifts, it ranges from anywhere from a new car to that pair of socks you hated to open when you were a kid. But God doesn’t always give like your parents or The Price is Right. Sometimes His gifts come on the other side of discipline. And as we head into this season of a Digital Reset, you might be in line for an incredible gift that will bring you life, freedom, and joy. How do we receive that? Join Chuck Mingo as he shows us how we can put our devices in the right place in our lives. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You’re being stolen from. And we’re not talking about your bank account or Netflix password, either. Your attention is one of your most valuable resources, yet every day, our phone steals it from us more and more. Jesus promises us that even though there’s a thief that came to steal, kill, and destroy, He came that we may have life, and life to the full. Join us as Brian Tome breaks down how we can have that full life, and that it might come through (*gasp*) a digital fast. Recorded live in Cincinnati, Ohio at Crossroads Church.
