2026/03/06

Hey, I had the privilege of teaching last Sunday and if you missed it here is my message!In this message, Pastor Tim Riddick challenges us to examine where we may be running from what God has made personal.

God makes His invitation personal through us.2. The “case of the someones” is spiritual

2026/02/12

In this episode of Subtext, Tim Riddick gets honest about the silent liturgy we all live by the scroll before our feet hit the floor, the dopamine hit at every red light, the phantom buzz that tricks us into thinking we’re needed when we’re actually just numb.This ain’t just about your phone. It’s about your formation. Because whether you know it or not, you already have a rhythm.And that rhythm is shaping your soul.So let’s talk about it:* Why Jesus didn’t let the crowd set His pace* Why rest isn’t

#46 Love Came For You

Subtext by BPYA ·

2025/12/21

Some of us hear “God loves you” and low-key flinch, because that same word love has been used to control us, leave us, or play us. In this Advent episode, we’re not talking about the kind of love that ghosts you when you’re no longer useful. We’re talking about a God who moves toward you first.In Week Four, “Love Came Looking for You,” Pastor Tim unpacks 1 John 4 and Romans 5 to show that Advent isn’t humanity climbing up to God—it’s God stepping down into the mess, into the manger, into St. Pete,

December says “be merry,” but your mind is loud, your group chat is messy, and your bank account is stressed.

What do you do when you pull up to the wrong airport, even though you had the right ticket?This episode starts with a funny (and expensive) story about my wife booking the wrong flight… but what it turns into is a glimpse into the heart of God as told through Hosea chapters 11 through 14.Because here’s the truth:We’ve all found ourselves somewhere we weren’t supposed to be.Far from what God intended.Ashamed, frustrated, lost, and thinking maybe we’ve missed the flight for good.But Hosea 14 reminds

There are places in your soul you’ve told no one about.Rooms you’ve locked.Wounds you’ve buried.Stories you swore you’d never revisit.But what if healing doesn’t come by hiding?What if Jesus is already in that room, waiting on you to stop pretending and start inviting?In this Subtext episode, Pastor Tim Riddick sits down with licensed therapist and former youth pastor Luke Kokhler for a conversation that’s part counseling session, part confession booth, and fully soaked in Holy Spirit honesty.They

2025/09/09

Taylor takes us from an awkward “is-this-prophetic-or-creepy?” moment after church to the quiet place under a tree where Jesus actually meets us.

2025/09/04

We're living in an age where we can curate everything. Our photos, our playlists, our bookshelves, and apparently, our relationship with God.

What happens when the lights go down, the crowd clears out, and your faith has no audience?In this kickoff episode, Pastor Tim opens up Matthew 6:5–6 and takes us deep into the room—the quiet place, the sacred space, the storage closet of the soul—where performance stops and presence begins.
