On Beyond Sunday, I’m sharing a big announcement that’s coming up fast: Sunday, September 20th is National Back to Church Day, a nationwide movement calling people to return to church, reconnect with church family, or visit for the first time. I’m also giving you a quick preview of the guests we’ve got coming to the table in the next few weeks, including stories of real ministry impact and a marriage transformed by God.

If you already attend church, this is your moment to reach out. I walk through simple ways to invite someone and keep the encouragement going so they don’t forget, back out, or get talked out of it. I also break down the three people to invite: someone who has never been to your church, someone who used to come but hasn’t been in years, and someone who still calls it “their church” but got knocked off course by life and busyness.

I also share what we’re doing at Christ Family Outreach Church for Back to Church Sunday while keeping the focus on worship, preaching, and God’s presence: giveaways, a children’s ice cream social, and three food trucks after service so people can fellowship and build real community. We land on Hebrews 10:24–25 and why meeting together strengthens families, faith, and the body of Christ.

You do not wake up one day and decide to abandon God. Most of the time, you drift. You get busy, you get numb, and you slowly trade closeness with Jesus for spiritual autopilot. We open Jeremiah chapter 2 and let God’s “hard message” land where it needs to land: He remembers the devotion of our early love, and He also sees the moment we start looking elsewhere. 

From there we connect the warning to Revelation 2, where Jesus tells the church to wake up, remember where they have fallen, repent, and return to the works they did at first. We keep it practical and personal: getting back to the basics of discipleship, quiet time, prayer, worship, and daily awareness of God. If you have felt distant, dry, or distracted, this is a clear next step, not a complicated formula. 

Jeremiah’s language gets even sharper: chasing worthlessness makes us worthless, and forsaking the fountain of living waters leads us to broken cisterns that cannot hold water. We talk about modern idols, why idols lead to bondage, and how a simple spiritual inventory can reset your heart toward faithfulness. Listen through to the closing prayer, then share this with someone who needs a loving wake-up call. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what “basic” you are returning to this week.

You can listen to someone else’s testimony all day and still dodge the one person you need to hear from most: you. So we’re doing something different. I’m “interviewing” you with a spiritual inventory built to expose drift, spark faith, and help you reset your walk with the Lord without guilt or games.

We start with Psalm 5:3 and a question that lands fast: have you talked with God today, and was it a real conversation? Then we lean into what many Christians forget after they pray: watching, waiting, and living with expectation. Mark 11:24 brings it home, because asking and believing belong together. If your prayer life has been shallow, silent, or scattered, this is a practical nudge back toward daily prayer, confident faith, and a heart that’s actually on the lookout for God’s answers.

From there, we get honest about busyness and priorities, especially when good things pile up. Summer plans, sports, vacations, and projects can quietly push God to the margin. Hebrews 10:25 and 1 Corinthians 12 challenge the lone-ranger mindset and remind us we’re part of a body, needed and valuable. We also talk about “checking boxes” out of habit, and Philippians 4:4 calls us back to joy when enthusiasm runs low.

The closing question is simple and serious: are you going to church this Sunday, and are you walking in expectant for God to move? If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so more people can find Beyond Sunday.

One nervous “I don’t feel ready” night can change everything. We sit down at the Beyond Sunday table with Mark and Chacho from United in Christ Ministry Worldwide, missionaries serving since 2000, and walk through the real story of how God connected them through street evangelism and turned that moment into a lifelong partnership in the gospel.

We talk global Christian missions in a grounded way: where their team serves across the United States and Mexico, plus ministry connections reaching India, Israel, and Brazil, and even prayerful steps toward Poland. But the heart of the conversation stays personal. Brother Mark shares how growing up around Sunday church without weekday faith pushed him away, and how Jesus met him anyway. Brother Chacho opens up about success that still felt empty, religion without relationship, and the instant difference he felt when he surrendered to Christ.

From there, we get practical about discipleship and everyday evangelism. We unpack why God often sends people out in pairs, how accountability and complementary gifts keep ministry healthy, and how discouragement can quietly grow into quitting if we don’t confront it early. We also share what short-term mission trips can do for your faith: learning to pray in public, share your testimony, and seeing your hometown as a mission field again.

If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs fresh courage, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What part of your life needs a simple yes to Jesus today?

Pastor Lee Day sits down with Chris Lee, Frankie Brown, and Billy Livingston to walk straight through Matthew 7:21-29 and face the difference between saying the right words and actually knowing Christ. We talk about why church activity, big moments, and “mighty works” can still miss the point if there is no real relationship, no surrender, and no obedience that flows from love.

Then we move to the picture Jesus gives at the end of the Sermon on the Mount: two houses, two foundations, and the same storm. Rain, floods, and wind hit both. That means trials, temptation, loss, and pressure are not proof God left you, they are proof you live in a broken world. The real question is what you have been building on. We unpack what it looks like to hear the Word and practice it, how “great was the fall” can become mercy, and why sometimes we need to get out of God’s way and let Him rebuild what we kept trying to prop up.

We also get practical about spiritual growth, mind renewal, and discovering the will of God through the Bible, not shortcuts. If you want a stronger foundation, we share simple habits that help you stay in the Word, listen for the Holy Spirit, and live with steady faith when life gets loud.
