As parents, transitions never stop—whether it’s sending kids to college, navigating adult relationships, or rediscovering your own calling in new seasons. In this episode, Heather and Jamie talk about letting go with grace, keeping peace in family relationships, and leaning into God as life unfolds in unexpected ways.

Parenting is always changing, but the goal remains the same: to prepare the way for lifelong friendship with our kids and allow God to shape us in every season.

Partiality may feel like a small sin compared to the “big ones,” but James insists it is not. James calls us to live fully turned toward Christ, where our faith shapes how we see and treat people in everyday life. In today’s cultural moment, when influence and status dominate, Christ-followers are called to reject favoritism, live out the gospel with integrity, and honor people without compromise.

In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse unpack James 2:1–13, revealing both the underlying issue and its practical application.

What does it mean to live out a genuine faith? Pastor Whit sits down with his former Wheaton College professor, Dr. Chris Vlachos—now teaching in Jerusalem—to wrestle with that very question.

Together, they explore the book of James as a wake-up call, reminding us that real faith always shows up in action. They unpack how James pushes us to obey Scripture, form a biblical imagination, and bring Christ’s love into the everyday moments that can make someone else’s day.
