• The Cutting Room Floor | Nurturing vs. Domineering

  What if nurturing isn't something you feel, but something you grow? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott, and Lydia to unpack the sermon on nurturing the kind of strength that builds others up. Lydia shares what it felt like to prepare a message many women receive with mixed emotions, and why turning to Scripture, not culture, is the only way to truly understand God's heart. Together, we explore what nurture is, what it isn't, why it matters, and how it reflects the very character of Christ. The Challenge: Don't wait to "feel ready." Take one step this week to nurture someone intentionally, sacrificially, and with the strength God supplies. Hosts: Neil Gregory, Scott Nickell, & Lydia Florence  ⸻ What We Discuss Why preparing this sermon required sitting with Scripture deeply How nurture is more than personality, it's cultivation The cultural confusion around womanhood and motherhood The biblical picture of strengthening others Why clarity is kindness in discipleship and teaching How Jesus Himself models perfect nurturing strength The lie that flourishing comes from self-reliance The beauty and cost of nurturing relationships A call for both men and women to move from consuming to contributing in the church ⸻  About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. We want what He wants: for heaven to be really crowded. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

• The Cutting Room Floor | Modest vs Manipulative

  What happens when we stop chasing approval and start living from design? In this week's episode of The Cutting Room Floor, Neil, Jess, and Jon unpack the conversation behind the sermon on modesty, a topic that's often misunderstood and sometimes avoided. Jon shares the deeper biblical meaning behind the word modest, why it's rooted in the nature of God, and how living a "well-arranged" life brings freedom, not restriction. Together they explore what it looks like to find order in the chaos, reclaim identity in Christ, and take one small step toward living with purpose and peace. This week, take one step toward being "well arranged." Whether it's your wardrobe, your words, or your work, ask God to help you bring order to what feels chaotic and let your life reflect His beauty and design. Hosts: Neil Gregory, Jess McKenney, and Jon Weece What We Discuss: The biblical meaning of "modesty" Why modesty is more about order than appearance How culture confuses freedom with pressure, especially for women The connection between modesty and identity in Christ Practical ways to take one step toward change The role of older women as examples of grace and wisdom Lessons from Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her "well-arranged" faith How dads can shape daughters' sense of worth and security  Why words matter as much as wardrobe  Finding peace and purpose in the midst of cultural chaos ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky.

• The Cutting Room Floor | Humble vs Powerful

  When everything falls apart, will you still trust God? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil and Scott sit down to unpack the message that almost didn't happen, one built in real time around the story of Hannah. From flight cancellations to last-minute rewrites, what emerged was a powerful reminder of humility, sacrifice, and the high calling women carry as image bearers of God. Scott shares what got left on the cutting room floor, including deeper insights into Samuel, the weight of infertility, and how modern lies of self-sufficiency aren't just failing men, they're failing women too. What are you still trying to control? Maybe it's time to hand it over to God.  Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell ⸻ What We Discuss:  What happens when your guest teacher gets stuck in Missouri  How Hannah models humility and strength in the face of hardship  Samuel's birth, his name, and his powerful legacy  Why Eli's sons were worthless and why that contrast matters The deep pain of infertility and the silence of unanswered prayers The cultural lie women are being sold, and why it's not working Why "read the rest of the story" is essential Bible wisdom How casting our cares on God requires humility and practice What it really means to surrender control ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky.
