Fight Songs - Adam Smith - “Different Names For The Same Thing” - 4.6.25

April 6, 2025

Sometimes it’s hard to fully enjoy when things are going good, because in the back of your mind you’re wondering, “How long is this going to last?” You probably shouldn’t relax too much, enjoy too much, share too much. Because something is going to happen and it’s all going to evaporate. Sure, you’re grateful for what you’ve got, but you’ve got to be on your guard. You want to be open, encouraging, and giving, but within reason. Isn’t leaning too far in that direction just an invitation to be taken advantage of?

Fight Songs - Adam Smith - “Tables And Tinkles And Tension” - 3.30.25

March 30, 2025

We all have certain things we have a hard time keeping in check—bad habits, thought patterns, coping mechanisms, unhelpful desires, unhealthy relationships. It’s usually not something we’re proud of. We want to deal with it, but quietly. Which is code for—alone. But somehow, protecting our pride seems to make the problem worse. What do we do with the parts of us that have gotten out of control? Where do we take them? Who do we talk to? How do we get help? Is healing even possible?

Fight Songs - Adam Smith - “I’m With Him” - 3.23.25

March 23, 2025

Everybody’s afraid of something. For some of us, it is spiders, snakes, or spoiled milk. Most of these things we can avoid. But what about the other stuff? The big stuff. The stuff there aren’t exterminators or sniff tests for. Things like failure, rejection, abandonment. The fear of these things stands between you and everything you want. They deal death blows to opportunities, relationships, and dreams. How do you keep them from killing yours?

Fight Songs - Adam Smith - “Blind Eyes & Bad Eyes” - 3.16.25

March 16, 2025

Ever wonder if you’re doing the right thing? How do you know what opportunities to take, friendships to pursue, issues to address? And in what order? And what do you avoid? How do you know if what you’re doing is going anywhere good? There’s got to be a better way to make decisions than polling our friends and scrolling TikTok for advice from strangers. What do you do when you’re trying to figure out what to do?

Fight Songs - Adam Smith - “Don’t Drink the Water” - 3.9.25

March 9, 2025

Seems like if you ask most people how they’re doing, you’re likely to get one of two responses—tired or busy. And of course we are. We have so many responsibilities, dreams, demands, and expectations on our shoulders. We’ve got to hustle if we’re going to make it all happen. But should we be this exhausted all the time? Anxiety and insomnia are on the rise. What would it look like to slow down, rest, & refuel (without a tropical vacation)? Is that even possible? How do you find daily peace in such a fast-paced culture?

Fight Songs - Mariah Wells - “Put Your Record On” - 3.2.25

March 2, 2025

There are so many things we want, and nonstop advertising makes us want even more. We strive to get what we want and worry we’re not going to have what we need, when we need it. We get nervous over rumors of the economy tanking, our industry shrinking, layoffs happening, prices rising, or disaster lurking. What if we can’t make ends meet? How do we handle the anxiety around not having enough or losing what we have?

’Til Stress Do Us Part - Adam Smith - “Overstimulated” - 2.23.25

February 23, 2025

We’ve all had a moment where someone pushed our buttons and that pushed us over the edge. We said and did things out of defensiveness, anger, and aggression. We tell people we’re working on it, but we’re not even sure what that would look like. People say it’s all in your mind but if that’s true, why does your blood pressure rise, face flush, and rationality go out the window? What if it’s not your brain getting you into trouble, but your body? And if that’s true, how do you keep the way you feel from overpowering how you think?

’Til Stress Do Us Part - Adam Smith - “Overexagerated” - 2.16.25

February 16, 2025

we’re constantly being bombarded with stories, images, and online experts telling us we should be dreaming bigger and doing better. We want to have and do it all. But that desire doesn’t match our day-to-day. When our lives don’t turn out the way we hoped they would, or should, it’s hard not to drag that disappointment into our relationship. Is it possible to pursue your dreams while holding on to reality? How do you feel good about yourself in your relationship when it becomes clear you’ll never measure up to everyone you’re chasing online?

’Til Stress Do Us Part - Adam Smith - “Overfilled” - 2.9.25

February 9, 2025

We’re all busy. It feels like we’ve got more to do than can possibly get done. The moment you feel like you’ve locked in your schedule, something else always seems to come up. Then you scroll through social media and learn you’re doing almost everything wrong, everyone else is winning, and there’s at least three essential life goals you’re already behind on. It’s hard to know what to do and in what order. It’s easy to live distracted and overwhelmed, leaving your core relationships with whatever crumbs are leftover. How do we keep what we say is most important from getting the worst of our time, energy, attitude, and attention?

’Til Stress Do Us Part - Adam Smith - “Overloaded” - 2.2.25

February 2, 2025

Couples fight, relationships become strained and sometimes break apart. That’s clear. The question is—why? Our assumption is we picked the wrong person, don’t have the right chemistry, or have somehow fallen out of love. But what if it’s less about your relationship with them and more about your relationship with stress? The world is moving faster and becoming more unpredictable and pressure filled. Could it be we’re mislabeling and mismanaging the real issue? What if you could get to the root of what’s going on between you? Is it possible that what’s pulling your relationship apart is something outside the relationship altogether?

Bad Neighbors - Adam Smith - “It’s Not All Or Nothing” - 1.26.25

January 26, 2025

Of course we care about other people, we’re not monsters. We’ll pray for them; we just don’t want to get personally involved with them. That feels like too much. You’re just one person. You can’t meet everybody’s needs. If you do something once, they’re going to expect it all the time. And that just sounds exhausting. Sure, you want to help people. But how do you know who to help, and when, and how, and how much?

Bad Neighbors - Adam Smith - “Sock Money & Scary Movies” - 1.19.25

January 19, 2025

We tend to be drawn to people who seem similar. It’s not hard to like someone who’s like you. But often, our neighbors aren’t at all like us. They look different, talk different, dress different, believe different, vote different. But Jesus doesn’t tell us to show love to those we feel close to, but to those we live next to. How does that work with people you have nothing in common with? Some of these people don’t just seem different, they seem dangerous. When Jesus tells us to love our neighbors, there’s got to be some exceptions, so what are they?

Bad Neighbors - Adam Smith - “Crickets & Clocks” - 1.12.25

January 12, 2025

You’re busy. Who isn’t? Your To-Do list grows faster than you can check it off. There’s work and school and bills and goals and kids and…at least seven other things you’re forgetting. Isn’t this what’s annoying about the words of Jesus—He invites us to do things even though we’ve already got too much to do. How do you care about other people when you can barely find the time to take care of yourself? Is there some secret? How do you juggle it all? Is it even possible to live out these ancient expectations in our modern world?

Bad Neighbors - Adam Smith - “Ol’ What’s-Her-Face” - 1.5.25

January 5, 2025

Jesus famously told his followers to love their neighbors. It’s a noble idea, but there’s a catch: it’s hard to show love to someone you’ve never spent time with. Statistically, most of us don’t know our neighbors. We’re not intentionally avoiding them; we’ve just got our own stuff going on. We keep our heads down and mind our own business. And so do they. It’s sort of our unspoken agreement. How interested or involved does Jesus want us to be in the lives of those who live next door? Are his expectations even realistic anymore?

Christmas At South Hills - Thrill of Hope - Adam Smith “You’’ Never Guess What Happened” - 12.22.24

December 22, 2024

Christmas is celebrated as a season of connection, family, and belonging. It seems to be what all the holiday songs and Hallmark movies are promising. But what something is supposed to be, isn’t always what it is. For some, it’s a season that spotlights their sadness. While many of us can’t wait to get together, others are wrestling with the weight of being left out. Maybe you’ve been there. Maybe you’re there now. If you’re not, you know someone who is. How do we turn this into a season of hope for everybody, not just your favorite somebodies?

December 15, 2024

Of course you want to make a difference. But you can’t do what you wish you could do. Not in this economy. Obviously, you have plans to do more when you have more. What you’ve got available is so little, it’s laughable. What’s the point of giving, serving, or contributing if it doesn’t change much? People say every little bit counts, but that’s just something they say. How do you give hope when all you have doesn’t feel like it’ll help?

Christmas At South Hills - Thrill of Hope - Adam Smith “Steroid Shots & Secret Considerations” - 12.8.24

December 8, 2024

Everybody likes guarantees. We want to sample things without getting stuck with them. If it doesn’t fit, I’m sending it back. If it doesn’t work, I want a refund. If it doesn’t pan out, I want out. This isn’t a bad approach to shopping, but it is to spirituality. Faith requires us to step out before you know if things will work out. We’re told God’s taking us somewhere good, but we’re worried about what we may have to go through to get there. How do you hang onto hope when nothing in your story is happening how you thought it would or should?

Christmas At South Hills - Thrill of Hope - Adam Smith “Cast as a Coat Rack” - 12.1.24

December 1, 2024

Ever look at someone else’s life, connections, and resources, and think, “If I had all that, I could really make a difference.”? In other words, you have access to social media, right? It’s not hard to see what’s wrong with the world but setting it right won’t be easy. Our lives, abilities, and bank accounts feel way too small to make a big impact. How do you stay hopeful when it feels like nothing you could ever do would even make a dent?
