Cornerstone Boulder Weekly Podcast

Starting our new series, Resilient Exiles, Brian explores 1 Peter 1 and what it means to live as faithful exiles in a world filled with uncertainty and suffering. Discover how the living hope found in Christ becomes a light for our path, a foundation for our faith, and a promise that carries us through every season of life. This message reminds us that Christian hope is not wishful thinking, it is a confident certainty grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Following God’s will does not guarantee an easy journey; in fact, obedience often leads into delays, difficulties, and apparent dead ends that test our trust. In this message Brian teaches that “walking” in God’s will is not just about discernment or decisions, but about faithfully taking the next step even when the outcome is unclear.

Aaron continues our series The Path of Life, exploring the spiritual practice of “trying on a decision” as a way of discerning God’s will. In this message, we will consider how our choices can be tested for congruence with the unique gifts and skills God has given us, the season of life we are in, and the person He has created us to be. As we learn to pay attention to these realities, we can grow in confidence and clarity to walk the path God has set before us.

Brian explores the different kinds of decisions we face in life and how discernment often requires patience, surrender, and trust in God’s timing. Through scripture, practical wisdom, and personal examples, it reminds us that waiting is not wasted time but a season where God shapes our hearts, clarifies our direction, and teaches us to walk by faith even without complete certainty

Who are the voices shaping your decisions? Kari explores how God speaks through the people he places on our path and what it looks like to gather wise counsel as we seek his will in the decisions of life.

How do we recognize God’s direction when life feels uncertain? This message by Brian explores how spiritual attentiveness, inner discernment, Scripture, life circumstances, and recurring patterns help us faithfully navigate the path of life.

How does Scripture help us discern God’s will when life rarely gives us obvious answers? Tim guides us through the story of King Josiah, where we’ll see how God’s Word reveals His heart, shapes our desires, and forms us into people who can act with wisdom, faith, and courage.

This week, Aaron begins our new series, The Path of Life, setting the direction for the weeks ahead and challenging us to recognize that discerning the will of God begins as we surrender our own.

Gabe explores Luke 15 to reveal God’s heart of celebration over the lost being found. This message shows that true joy is found through repentance, forgiveness, and recognizing our need for Jesus. The invitation is clear—we’re not meant to stand outside, but to step into the celebration of new life with God.

Brian reminds us that God is always at work in people around us. We’re called to see the value in others, remind them what home is really like, and celebrate what God restores. This message invites us to reflect on our role in the story, are we the younger son, the older son, or becoming more like the Father?
