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.

Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Fake can look pretty (ever heard of Instagram?), but sometimes our lives can feel like that fake Christmas tree in your living room. It's beautiful, perfect, and also..sterile and lifeless.

This week, Kyle Ranson uses the Bible (and also the classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas") to show us how God stepped away from perfection to chase something better: you.

Fake Always Fails | Finding Real Peace in a World that Feels Fake (A Charlie Brown Christmas)

What’s your Christmas season strategy? All of us have one. Maybe you’re trying to wring every bit of cheer out of the holiday like it’s a tube of toothpaste, or maybe you have a schedule so bare it would make the Grinch jealous.

But what if there’s a better way? This week, Alli shows us how strategies we find in the most unlikely of places (like, say, 2004's “Christmas with the Kranks”) points us back to a timeless truth of how to get the most out of this holiday.
