Today we’re reading and discussing Matthew chapter 14. We’ll see the death of John the Baptist, as well as 2 of Jesus’ most famous miracles.

Today we’re in Matthew 13. Jesus is teaching a crowd using parables. He paints a picture of what the kingdom of God is like, and more specifically how different types of people receive the good news of the kingdom. There’s a lot to dig into here and a good opportunity to take a closer look at our own hearts going into the new year.

This is the last episode of 2024, and leading right into the week of Christmas. We are going to read and talk about Luke 1 - the story right before the birth of Jesus. It’s all about what it looks like to trust and obey God when the story is still in-process.

Today we’re in Matthew 12. The tension between Jesus and the Pharisees has been rising for awhile, and now it comes tot a head. We are going to take a closer look at a conversation between them, as well as Jesus’ rebuke and warning for the Pharisees.

Today we’re in Matthew chapter 11. We’ll take a closer look at this conversation between Jesus and the disciples of John the Baptist and the surrounding crowd - a conversation about doubt, and about the response that Jesus wants to his ministry.

This is such a special conversation! we got to interview the two girls who started the very first As You Are Bible study - Simms O’Quinn & Virginia Adair. We reflected together on their experience in college that eventually led to starting As You Are. We talk about what it looks like to pursue your faith in college, how to find authentic community, and how to give and receive grace when we fall short, plus lots more. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Today we’re sharing the talk from the University of Georgia Fall worship night. Anna spoke on a passage from Exodus that you’ve probably heard before, but she shares such a powerful perspective on it that we think will majorly encourage you today.

Today we’re studying Matthew chapter 10. Jesus commissions his 12 apostles and gives them a word of encouragement and warning.

Today we’re sharing the talk from the As You Are worship night in Alabama this fall. Janie Denney talks all about what it looks like to be a new creation in Christ. She challenges all of us to not live with one foot in and one foot out in our walk with God, but instead to let ourselves be transformed by His love and grace. She shares her own journey of slowly trusting God and giving more of her life to Him.

Today we’re studying Matthew Chapter 9. This chapter is full of stories of Jesus healing people and showing us who He really is. Let’s dive in line-by-line.

Today we’re bringing you the talk from our Fall worship night on Auburn’s campus. Caroline Young (our dear friend and As You Are Board member) does a deep dive on the topic of identity and what it looks like to first find our worth in what God says about us. If we can start to do this, the peace that follows is unmatched.

Today we’re studying Matthew chapter 8. You’ll see several familiar stories, but underscoring all that Jesus does is this undeniable evidence of His power and authority. We also get to take a closer look at what Jesus values in the hearts of His people.

Today we are wrapping up the sermon on the mount! We’ll touch on a few things you’ve probably heard (the golden rule, “ask and it will be given, seek and you will find”…) and a few things you probably haven’t. Hope you enjoy!

We’re in the middle of our Fall worship nights, so we’r taking a short break from our Matthew study to bring you a really special message from our Clemson worship night on October 1. Mary Crosby Swinney (Senior Bible Study leader at Clemson) gave a beautiful talk on what it looks like to trust Jesus and fix our gaze on Him through ups and downs in our lives. It’s not easy, but it’s so worth it. She walks us through a story in Matthew 14 that perfectly shows us what it looks like to rely on Jesus in these crucial moments.

In today’s episode we are talking about some of the most relevant subjects to our lives in the present day - money, anxiety, and judging others. We take a closer look at what Jesus says about these things. His words are so important!

We’re in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount, and today we’re taking a look at what Jesus told the crowd about giving, praying, and fasting. There’s a specific type of person He warns against - the hypocrite. We take a closer look at that word and what it means.

Let’s dive into the Sermon on the Mount! This is the middle of one of Jesus’ most important teachings, and in it He really flips the idea of what it means to be someone who follows God. Our understanding of what makes up good behavior tends to be outwardly focused, but Jesus speaks directly to the heart behind what we do. This section can look like an extremely lofty list of morals, but Jesus has a deeper meaning intended in this teaching.

Today we’re beginning Matthew chapter 5! This week is an important one, because we’re about to dive into one of Jesus’ most important teachings. He talks all about what life in the Kingdom of God looks like, and emphasizes that it’s not just something in the far future after we die, but life to the fullest right here & now. We’re starting with Jesus’ counterintuitive, interesting intro to his sermon. Hope you enjoy!

Today we’re in Matthew chapters 3 & 4. In chapter 3 we’ll see Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist, the Spirit of God like a dove descending from Heaven and landing on Him, and God calling Jesus His son in an audible voice. In chapter 4 we’ll talk about Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and also what His responses mean for us as we combat lies in our faith.
