What is God saying to you and how willing are you to listen?

You can run from God by breaking all the rules. You can also run from God by keeping all of them.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of two lost sons—one lost in rebellion, the other lost in religion. Both think they know how to relate to the Father. Both get it wrong.

This week, Kyle Ranson unpacks why neither rebellion nor religion can connect us to God—but why no matter which direction you wander, God still moves toward you in love. Recorded live at Crossroads Oakley in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Religion, Rebellion, and Why Neither Work

Some of you are watching this on the way to somewhere else. Why do we live our lives in such a hurry?

We blame distraction, packed calendars, and endless responsibilities—but underneath all that busyness is often something deeper: anxiety. Fear. The need to protect something we’re scared of losing.

This week, Chuck Mingo looks at how anxiety exposes what our identity is really built on—and why being yoked to Jesus can bring a kind of relief no productivity hack ever could. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Real Reason You Can't Slow Down

What if the problem isn’t that you’re carrying too much—but that you’re carrying the wrong things?

Jesus never promised a life without weight.

He promised a weight that fits. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites us to put down the identities, expectations, and pressures we were never meant to carry—and pick up the life He actually made us for.

This week, Brian Tome helps us to discover what Jesus wants you to drop, what’s actually yours to carry, and why following Him can make even a full life feel lighter. Recorded live in Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
