Are you actually following Jesus, or just asking Him to bless the life you've already planned?
In James chapter 4, we're confronted with a difficult truth: we can't fully follow Jesus while holding on to the values of the world. In this episode of The Canvascast, J. Mark Johns and Robby Rassel discuss how pride, selfishness, and misplaced desires can quietly take control of our relationships, decisions, and spiritual lives.
What does it really mean to surrender to God? And how do we stop living a faith that's only halfway committed?
Listen now as we continue our journey through the book of James and discover what it looks like to put God first in every area of life.

S4E5 The Book Of James (Part 3)
What if the words you brush off as jokes are slowly destroying your relationships?
In this episode of The Canvascast, Lead Pastor J. Mark Johns and Executive Pastor Robby Rassel continue their journey through the book of James, diving into chapter 3 and the surprising power of our words. From careless comments and subtle sarcasm to the responsibility of teaching God's Word, they explore how what comes out of our mouths reveals what's happening in our hearts.
They also unpack what it means to take our thoughts captive, why genuine faith should produce visible change, and how godly wisdom challenges our natural desire to put ourselves first.

S4E4 The Book Of James (Part 2)
What if one of the clearest signs of spiritual maturity is simply how long it takes you to obey God?
In this episode of The Canvascast, Lead Pastor J. Mark Johns and Executive Pastor Robby Rassel continue their journey through the book of James with a conversation about what genuine faith actually looks like when it moves beyond words and into everyday life.
Digging into James 2, they tackle favoritism in the church, why Christians can’t measure people by the same standards as the world, and what it really means to love your neighbor. They also explore the relationship between grace, mercy, faith, and works—and why James’ declaration that “faith without works is dead” doesn’t mean we earn our salvation.
Listen to this episode of The Canvascast and discover what it looks like to live out a faith that is active, authentic, and willing to obey.
