Know Grow Show documents a church community trying to read the whole Bible without rushing past the strange, hard, or familiar parts. Its center of gravity is Cornerstone Wesleyan Church in North Gower, Ontario. The feed alternates between teaching and conversation episodes tied to the same reading plan. Sermons usually begin in the room, with worship, baptisms, membership, hymns, or the church calendar still close to the surface. Then the passage takes over. The teaching style is careful but casual, moving from Scripture to context, then from context to lived faith. A sermon on 2 Kings 6 turns the story of Elisha’s servant into a meditation on fear, unseen help, and the need for God to open human eyes. A temple sermon from 1 Kings follows Eden, tabernacle, Solomon’s temple, the second temple, and Jesus as the true meeting place of heaven and earth. A sermon on Samson’s mother slows down around Manoah, his wife, and the angel of the Lord, noticing who listens and who misses what is right in front of them. The show is often serious. It is also plainly human. There are jokes about old hymn books, Britpop songs, church job titles, and the awkwardness of working out sermon ideas in real time. The conversation episodes make that human texture even clearer. Dan Wallace and Nate Huff move through the week’s readings, ask what the passage is doing, wonder which thread should become Sunday’s sermon, and pray for the teaching to be faithful. Those episodes are not polished debates. They are working sessions, with pauses, corrections, loose ends, and moments of discovery left in place. The recurring frame is One Story That Leads to Jesus, a Bible reading plan that keeps pulling each week’s text toward Christ. That gives the show its shape. It is local church audio, but not narrow in concern. It cares about obedience, worship, spiritual reality, Scripture memory, and the claim that God wants to be with his people. The best fit is a listener who wants Christian teaching with patience, warmth, and visible process. Know Grow Show does not hide the seams of weekly ministry; it makes them part of the point.
Made for: For Christian listeners who want Bible teaching rooted in a local church rather than a studio theology format. It especially suits people following a structured reading plan or interested in how sermons are formed from difficult passages.
What sets it apart: The feed gives both the preached sermon and the preparation conversation, so the listener hears the finished teaching alongside the questions that shaped it. Its strength is the blend of live church warmth, biblical range, and candid sermon-prep process.
