  • Go Deeper: The Power of Thought and Study in Your Faith Walk
    Send us a textWhat are you doing with what God has already revealed to you? In this episode, we dive into Mark 4:24, where Jesus urges us to be intentional with how we hear and respond to His Word. He says, "The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you."This is a call to stop coasting through sermons and quiet times. It’s an invitation to dig in, to give God our full attention, full hunger, and full obedience. The more deeply we lean into His truth, the more He entrusts to us. If you’re tired of spiritual stagnation and ready to grow, this episode is your wake-up call.Join us as we talk about what it really means to measure our lives by the Word and pursue the deeper things of God with everything we’ve got.If this stirred something in you, if you’re ready to leave behind the shallows and pursue the deep things of God, then keep coming back.

  • You Were Made for More: Surrender, Purpose, and the Real Jesus
    Send us a textIn this episode, we reflect on a powerful quote by the late pastor and author Tim Keller:ā€œThe real Jesus requires more than you ever thought, but offers more than you ever imagined.ā€Too often, we settle for a comfortable, convenient version of Jesus; a Savior who fits into our schedule but doesn’t disrupt our lives. But the real Jesus isn’t just looking to inspire us, He wants to transform us.This episode invites you to go deeper in your faith, to surrender more fully, and to receive the unimaginable beauty of a life centered on Christ. We’ll explore what Jesus truly requires of us and the far greater reward He promises. If you've ever felt like there must be more to your walk with God, this is your call to step into it.Scripture highlights: Luke 9:23, Colossians 1:17, Romans 12:2, John 10:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Psalm 16:11***Hey friends, this has been on my heart for a long time…I’ve wanted to add a charity component to The Nook Podcast—a way for this community to rally together and actually make a difference in the lives of hurting people.And I can’t think of a better recipient than Crisis Aid International.Together, we can be the light in the darkest places.Support the showQuestions or comments can be sent to [email protected] The Nook Facebook page!Steven's Social Media:Instagram, TikTok and Twitter Your financial support means so much!Venmo: @Steven-Murphy-111

  • Seek First the Kingdom: Why Shallow Faith Isn’t Working
    Send us a textIn this episode of the Go Deeper series, we unpack one of Jesus’ most challenging and liberating commands: ā€œSeek first the Kingdom of Godā€¦ā€ (Matthew 6:33).Too many believers are stuck in shallow faith, chasing peace while clinging to control. But Jesus offers a better way, a deeper way. This message isn’t about tweaking your priorities. It’s about flipping the entire order of your life around God's rule and reign.We’ll explore how seeking God first transforms your desires, kills anxiety, and leads to true Kingdom purpose. We’ll connect this powerful teaching with 1 Chronicles 16:11 (ā€œSeek His presence continuallyā€) and Psalm 37:4 (ā€œDelight yourself in the Lord...ā€), reminding us that joy, peace, and provision flow after surrender, not before.If you’re tired of half-hearted Christianity and hungry to go deeper, this episode will challenge, convict, and call you into something real.If this stirred something in you, if you’re ready to leave behind the shallows and pursue the deep things of God, then keep coming back. This podcast is here to walk with you, challenge you, and encourage you to go further than you’ve ever gone in your faith.

  • When God Doesn’t Make Sense: Trusting the Infinite
    Send us a textDo you ever catch yourself trying to make sense of God? Expecting Him to move the way you would, think the way you think, or fit neatly into your logic? This episode will challenge all of that.God isn’t just bigger than you, He’s entirely ā€œother.ā€ Isaiah 55:8–9 reminds us that His thoughts and ways are far beyond anything we could imagine. In this powerful, extended message, we confront the dangerous trend of shrinking God down to human terms, and rediscover the awe, reverence, and wonder we were made for.This is a wake-up call to leave behind shallow faith and worship the untamable, holy, all-powerful God who invites us to know Him, not figure Him out.This episode will help you:Embrace the mystery of God’s waysLet go of your need to understand everythingReclaim a reverent, awe-filled relationship with GodWorship Him with humility, boldness, and depthIf you’re ready to stop playing it safe with your faith and start worshipping God as He truly is, this message is for you.If this stirred something in you, if you’re ready to leave behind the shallows and pursue the deep things of God, then keep coming back.
