A Walk Through the Carpenter’s Shop (s10e4) – Stop Trying to Fool God: Live a Life of True Alignment

Church @ 434 — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Does the idea that God sees your every move make you feel uneasy? In this episode of The Carpenter Shop, Jeff Dixon dives into the reality of an all-knowing Heavenly Father. Unlike earthly parents who might miss a few things, God sees our best moments, our worst failures, and the times we intentionally wander off course. But here is the life-changing truth: He sees it all and loves us anyway. When we realize we can’t fool Him, we are finally free to stop performing and start living. By shifting from fear to alignment, we can stop hiding and start lifting our sails to the Holy Spirit. Join Jeff as he explores how to turn the "nervousness" of being seen into the joy of being known, loved, and called to an adventure only you were created for.

Church @ 434 — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Can a "haunted" doll from Key West actually teach us something about our walk with God? In this episode of Urban Legends, Jeff Dixon takes a deep dive into the eerie story of Robert the Doll to uncover the profound spiritual applications hidden beneath the folklore. From the museum walls covered in apology letters to the unsettling experience of standing face-to-face with the legend, Jeff explores how our personal beliefs shape our reality and why a healthy respect for the supernatural realm is vital for every follower of Jesus. Beyond the ghost stories, we discover timeless truths about the consequences of our actions and our innate, God-given need for connection. Join us as we bridge the gap between urban legend and spiritual reality, proving that even in the most "weird" experiences, there are lessons that can make our lives better today.

Church @ 434 — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Have you ever noticed that the greatest story ever told doesn't just end—it returns home? In the premiere of this special three-part limited series, "Full Circle," Jeff Dixon explores the breathtaking symmetry of Scripture that often goes unnoticed. By comparing the first three chapters of Genesis with the final three chapters of Revelation, we discover a God who is the Beginning and the End, meticulously finishing exactly what He starts. From the creation of the first heavens and earth to the arrival of the new ones, and from the lost Tree of Life in Eden to its triumphant return in the New Jerusalem, the Bible reveals a divine design that is both complete and intentional. If you’ve ever wondered if God is truly in control of the chaos of life, this study will provide you with a renewed confidence in the inerrancy and wholeness of His Word. Join us at the Church of 4th and 4th as we begin the countdown to understanding how God brings every story—including yours—full circle.

A Walk Through the Carpenter’s Shop (s10e3) – The Divine Mandate: Why You Were Created to Enjoy Life

Church @ 434 — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Is it possible that "enjoyment" is a spiritual discipline? Jeff Dickson returns to The Carpenter Shop to explore the biblical command found in the book of Ecclesiastes: to eat, drink, and be glad. We often get so caught up in the "toil" of life that we lose sight of the blessings right in front of us. In this teaching, we learn that God’s blessings are constant, but our awareness of them depends on our positioning. Discover how obedience unlocks a deeper level of joy and why you shouldn't be afraid to claim the life God promised you. You are a masterpiece in the making—it’s time to start living like one.

Urban Legends (s1e1) – More Than a Legend: Why Do We Fear Robert the Doll?

Church @ 434 — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Step into the shadows of Key West with Jeff Dixon as he launches a brand-new series, Urban Legends, beginning with the most infamous resident of the Fort East Martello Museum: Robert the Doll. From his mysterious origins in 1904 to the eerie whispers heard by the Otto family, Robert’s story is one of obsession, unexplained movement, and a century-long trail of "bad luck." This isn't just a ghost story; it’s a look at a doll so influential that visitors today still beg his permission before snapping a photo, fearing the car accidents and life-altering curses documented on the museum’s "wall of apologies." Whether you are a hardened skeptic or a believer in the supernatural, Jeff challenges you to look Robert in the eye and consider what happens when a legend becomes a legacy. Stay tuned until the end for a preview of how these chilling tales can offer profound spiritual lessons for navigating the complexities of modern life.

Title: The Do-Over Episode: Moving Beyond Regret to a Future of Grace
Description:
If you could go back and change just one decision in your life, would you do it? In this episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley (famously known as "The Saint") tackle the heavy topic of life’s "do-overs." While everyone carries a backpack of missed opportunities, failed relationships, and words they wish they could take back, Jeff and Chris explore whether regret is a helpful teacher or a spiritual trap. From the "Back to the Future" mindset to the "Multiverse" of what-ifs, they discuss how education, health, and spiritual priorities shape our perspective as we age. Drawing on biblical wisdom from Romans 8:28 and Paul’s exhortation in Philippians 3 to "forget what is behind," the duo discusses how God redeems our broken pieces. Whether you are struggling with a past mistake or looking to live more intentionally today, this conversation will challenge you to take your hand off the rearview mirror and put it back on the plow, trusting that God’s grace is bigger than your greatest regret.

Conspiracy Cases (s1e57) – UFOs, Aliens, and the Sovereignty of God: Closing the Guardian Case (6/6)

Church @ 434 — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

In the final installment of our investigation into the 1991 Guardian UFO case, Jeff Dixon brings the mystery home. After episodes of analyzing grainy footage, tracking down "The Guardian," and debating the logistics of a white pickup truck, we are left with a fundamental question: Does what we see depend entirely on what we already believe? Jeff challenges us to look past the skepticism and the theories to find a much larger truth. Whether the events in West Carleton were a celestial encounter or a clever hoax, they all fall under one ultimate reality: the absolute sovereignty of God. From the farthest galaxies described in Isaiah to the sparrow mentioned in Matthew, nothing moves outside of His plan. Join us as we close the file on this conspiracy and discover how a "holy curiosity" and a relationship with Jesus can turn a world of fear and shadows into a journey of confidence and peace.

A Walk Through the Carpenter’s Shop (s10e2) – The Real Secret to Handling Bad Days

Church @ 434 — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Have you ever reached a point where you looked at your circumstances and asked, “How much more can I take?” We all face days that feel heavy, and as Drew Carey once noted, success doesn't exempt us from the hardships of life. In this session at The Carpenter’s Shop, we lean into the uncomfortable reality that "bad days" are a universal human experience. Drawing from the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 8:6 and 1 Peter 5, we explore why the answer to our deepest struggles—whether spiritual, practical, or personal—is always found in "leaning on Jesus."
Being a follower of Christ doesn’t mean we are above our circumstances; it means our reaction to them becomes radically different. When we learn to humble ourselves and cast our cares upon Him, we stop being derailed by our difficulties and start seeing them as the raw material God uses to turn "bad into good." Join us as we learn to grow, heal, and become the people Jesus created us to be, even when the weight of the world feels like too much to carry.

Friends in Low Places – The Ripple Effect (Ripple Two)

Church @ 434 — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Everything we do makes a difference and has an impact. We don’t always see it, but the ripple effect of our choices, our decision, and our reactions begin a series of events that become part of the legacy of our lives. Last week we started exploring some ripples that we all need to be aware of. Today, we explore Ripple Two and find that in a simple story, Jesus shows a startling contrast that people still struggle with today. If we could make one change – that change could start a ripple effect that creates a wave, that changes the shoreline of the world.
