Getting To Know God

The quintessential question many ask about God: Why does He allow bad things to happen to good people? In this episode of Getting To Know God, pastors Brandon and Kevin break down Joseph's testimony in the Book of Genesis to see how God can turn bad situations into circumstances that bring Him glory by preserving life! Understanding God's eternally self-existing and self-sustaining nature is key to grasping this truth, and as the guys unpack it, it's sure to bring encouragement!  

What was there before the beginning?
In this episode, Pastor Brandon and Pastor Kevin dive deep into Genesis 1:1 to explore the powerful meaning behind God’s Hebrew name Elohim—a name that reveals His majesty, His eternal nature, and His triune identity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Together, they wrestle with big, faith-shaping questions: What does it mean that God existed before time, matter, and even light itself? How does the mystery of God’s relationship to creation strengthen our trust in Him? And how do passages like Genesis 1, John 1, and Colossians 1 clearly point to Jesus as eternal—present and active before the universe began?
This conversation unpacks how all three persons of the Trinity were fully present and perfectly unified in creation, showing that God was never lacking, never alone, and never in need. From that truth, the pastors challenge common ideas about why God created humanity and redefine what love truly means—according to Scripture, not culture.
If you’ve ever wondered about God’s nature, His purpose for creating us, or how His eternal sufficiency changes the way we understand love, this episode will push you to think deeper and trust Him more.
Listen now and see how understanding Elohim can transform your view of God—and your faith.

Will the sun shine forever? Will the stars stay in their place? According to the Bible, the universe will undergo a radical change! In fact, heaven itself will get a makeover. On this episode of Getting To Know God, titled “The One True Light,” we’re examining Revelation 21:23 to understand the qualities of God that enable Him to make all things new, just as He promised long ago!

If God is immortal and we are mortal, can we simply approach God whenever we want? If God is pure and we have imperfections, can we access Him at any time? These are important questions to consider since God Himself said that He dwells in “unapproachable light.” Discover what that means as Pastor Kevin and Brandon unpack 1 Timothy 6:16 in this episode titled “Unapproachable.”

Many people want to see proof of God. They want to see the work of God. They want to see His glory. The Bible explains that God is willing to reveal all of that. However, there is one specific way He does so—through the face of Jesus Christ. How do you practically experience God through the knowledge of His glory? That’s what Pastor Brandon ‘b.Side” Alvillar and Pastor Kevin Cooper discuss in this episode titled, “Knowing The Glory of God.”

The key to entering heaven depends on what we trust about Jesus Christ's testimony in the Bible. Despite people's speculation about who they think He is, the scriptures show that Jesus spoke for Himself. He told everyone that He is “the Light of the world,” which is the title for this episode. Discover what that truly means as Pastor Brandon and Kevin explore John 8:12 to discuss who Jesus really is and why it matters more than anything else in life.
