S1:01 | The Fellowship of the Son
A state of the church update from Pastor Charlie! We have been set apart by God and for God, called together and gifted by God, to partner with God in His work in the world. Because we are “the fellowship of His Son,” we are also in partnership with the Son. So, what exactly does that mean? How do we live out partnering with God in His work in the world?
Episode 2 February 22,2023 Charlie Boyd
S1:02 | Working In Our Weakness
God is working slowly, silently, subversively to usher in a King and a Kingdom that will turn the world upside down.
Episode 3 February 28,2023 Jonny Brush & Chandler Patterson
S1:03 | Why Is Storytelling So Important?
There are so many stories out there, and many ways to consume and absorb them all. We're starting the conversation of exploring why storytelling is crucial while also giving you examples of correlations in Scripture, and in the medium of filmmaking. And oftentimes, we’ll intersect the two by talking about faith and film with some direct Gospel takeaways from the stories we love.

S1:04 | True Revival
In a culture that continues to drift farther and farther from God, the only way you won’t drift with it is for you to honor God as King over every part of your life and build your life on the Word of the King.

S1:05 | Praise & Providence
1 Samuel 9-10:16 teaches us two distinct things about praising and trusting in God's plan for our lives. This story winds through the land on a donkey hunt. Saul and his servant think they are out for an ordinary day, but God is sovereignly guiding him toward Samuel to be anointed king.
Episode 6 March 16,2023 Charlie Boyd
S1:06 | Rooted in Scripture
The only way to survive in a world that constantly pulls us away from God, the only way to stay connected to the source of life, is to immerse yourself in the story of the Scriptures. SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 9-11
Episode 8 March 23,2023 Jason Malone
S1:08 | Who's the Hero of Your Story?
When you're telling your stories, who is the hero? What makes you feel the most self-worth? What, if you lost it, would make you feel despair? 1 Samuel 12 is a testimony to Samuel’s leadership. He calls Israel to remember how merciful God is, repent of their sins, and replace their idols with obedience and reverence to the one true King.

Episode 9 March 29,2023 Jonny Brush & Chandler Patterson
S1:09 | Crop Circles & Dead Faith — Signs
Join us as we discuss several gospel takeaways from the movie, "Signs." Similar to when someone shares their story, movies make us feel connected in one collective setting. Ultimately, our goal when we discuss these types of stories is to remind ourselves that we aren’t defined by what’s happened to us or what we’ve done but by what’s been done for us through Jesus’ work on the cross.

Episode 10 April 3,2023 Charlie Boyd
S1:10 | An Anatomy of Sin
In 1 Samuel 13, we begin to see the demise of King Saul. Saul is a man with a better plan. When put under pressure, he reasons his way into compromising his identity as God’s chosen king. He ignores what God says in favor of what seems right in his own eyes. The pressures of our circumstances can bend us out of the shape God has designed us to be unless we value God’s Word above the self-justifying words, we tell ourselves—words that make disobeying God seem reasonable.

Episode 11 April 6,2023 Charlie Boyd
S1:11 | Winners vs Disciples
The “perhaps” of faith is trusting both the power of God and the freedom of God to work for our good and His glory in each and every circumstance He brings into our lives.

Episode 12 April 14,2023 Jason Malone
S1:12 | Finding Peace with God
What we celebrate on Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is not simply something to be amazed by (although it is amazing), but it's meant to alter, re-arrange, shape, define, and anchor your life. It does actually change everything. As we think of our current cultural moment, there are plenty of people who are amazed at Jesus and yet not being changed by Jesus. It is only Jesus who, through the power of the resurrection, can save us, change us, and transform us.

Episode 13 April 19,2023 Jim Thompson
S1:13 | Listen & Obey
What comes into your mind when you think about obedience? For many of us, parenting might come to mind. Not just having to obey our parents, but, if you have kids, how you want them to obey you. And getting kids to obey can be rough. Sometimes it feels as though they can’t hear you. Sometimes it’s like they only do enough of what you asked so that you won’t be upset. And God only knows where motives are in the obedience journey. But this issue of obedience extends far beyond parenting. It actually applies everywhere, especially when it comes to our relationship with God.

Episode 14 April 26,2023 Jason Malone
S1:14 | The Dangers of Envy
1 Samuel 19 kicks off the crazy story about a king attempting to murder the future king (who is also his son-in-law) in a multitude of ways. Saul had an issue with envy when it came to David. Oftentimes envy and jealousy are used interchangeably. The challenge of this passage leads to us being able to celebrate the blessing of someone else when you think you should be blessed like they have been blessed.

S1:15 | Embracing Grace by Faith
Have any of you ever been a part of an intervention? How did that room feel? It’s so hard to sit a friend or family member down and have a serious talk with them about some destructive pattern in their life. But the whole scenario is borne out of love. Everybody at the intervention is there because they love the person who needs help. Sadly, the person who needs help doesn’t usually receive it as a loving gesture. Often, they actually feel the opposite of loved. They feel ganged up on. They feel attacked. So, what does grace look like in that scenario?

S1:16 | Fight for Forgiveness — Warrior
Join us as we discuss several gospel takeaways from the movie, "Warrior (2011)." Hear personal stories of what it's like growing up in a house of all brothers and dive into some of the faith parallels from the movie! Ultimately, our goal when we discuss these types of stories is to remind ourselves that we aren't defined by what's happened to us or what we've done but by what's been done for us through Jesus' work on the cross.

Episode 17 June 1,2023 Charlie Boyd
S2:01 | Why Does the Church Matter?
Church Matters has a double meaning. First, "church matters" means that it's important. It’s not optional. It wasn’t an afterthought in the plan and purpose of God. The local church is the way Jesus intends to build/grow up His people in the faith, and it’s the way Jesus’ mission moves forward in the world. And second, "church matters" means there are certain “matters” that make up a New Testament church—“matters” that make it distinct from other forms of Christian gatherings or personal worship. The “church” is a particular gathering of Christ-followers who meet in a specific location to hear and respond to God’s Word in congregational worship as they work together to move Jesus’ mission forward in the world.

Episode 18 June 8,2023 Jim Thompson
S2:02 | The Need to Belong
Our lives are filled with a longing to belong. It is one of the most basic human desires. This is true at every stage and season of life. Recognition of this desire is loaded with questions. In my own story, how do I cultivate belonging? Is there a way to experience a fixed state of belonging? Is there any way that these desires can be moored to an anchor and not subject to a breeze? And what does God think about all this? What should it look like to belong to God by belonging to one another? There is so much packed into this question, but it gives succinct language to what we truly want. It addresses the real wants that are underneath the surface wants and gets close to the default setting God created us with. And to answer this question, Acts 2:42-47 will serve us well.

S2:04 | What God Wants Out of Our Worship
Gathering with God’s people for the purpose of worshiping Him isn’t just a good idea, it’s a God idea. And the Psalms give us clear pictures as to what this idea looks like, specifically Psalm 95. But, even with a clear picture of what God wants from us and for us, our sin, preferences, opinions, and past pains can interfere, and the result is often confusion and tension. And on top of that, we bring our own idols and problems into the room when we gather. So what do we do? What’s the solution? Psalm 95 not only gives us a clear picture of what God wants but tells us how to do it.

S2:06 | Exile, Hope, and a Volleyball — Cast Away
Join us as we discuss several gospel takeaways from the movie, "Cast Away (2000)." Finding hope in exile is a running theme throughout the film, and we'll discuss various takeaways from our viewing experiences! Ultimately, our goal when we discuss these types of stories is to remind ourselves that we aren't defined by what's happened to us or what we've done but by what's been done for us through Jesus' work on the cross.

S2:05 | A Church That Truly Matters
A local church that is committed to equipping one another is a church that continues in the unity given to us in Christ as we mature spiritually (or as spiritual formation takes place) and we accomplish what the Lord has for us to accomplish as a church…all for His glory and His fame.

S2:07 | The Supremacy of Scripture
Bill Wellons sums up the state of the church this way: healthy leaders—healthy staff—healthy church. The opposite is also true: unhealthy leaders—unhealthy staff—unhealthy church. What does healthy church leadership look like, and how does the supremacy of Scripture supersede culture? These questions will be unpacked in this episode!

S2:08 | Building the Kingdom
Acts 6 is an example of God meeting the needs of his people through the serving of his people. Like the human body needs all of its parts to function well for the entire body to be healthy, so does the church body need each person to fulfill their role to have a fully healthy and functioning church.

S2:09 | Understanding Spiritual Gifts
The spiritual gifts conversation in Scripture isn’t an option at a buffet. It is crucial to Christlike growth and formation. So, we have to ask, how do we rightly understand and employ spiritual gifts in the church today?

S2:13 | Preaching and Why It Matters
About 65 million Americans listened to a sermon last week. But I don't think many, if any, of them have ever heard a sermon on the topic of preaching. Consequently, most weekly worship service attendees haven’t thought much about what God intends to happen when His Word is preached, and His people listen. How about you? Have you thought much about that? Why does preaching matter? What does God want you to experience when you listen to a sermon?

Episode 30 August 14,2023 Matt Densky
S2:14 | Empowering the Next Generation
God’s invitation to the next generation is not positional, but personal. In other words, it is not just parents, grandparents, teachers, or youth and children's pastors that should be burdened for the next generation, but all of those who follow Jesus and are a part of the church family.

S3:01 | Putting Jesus on Display Through Your Story | Libby Handford
We’re kicking off season 3 with a very special episode. As we talk about the value of storytelling and how we’re a part of God’s story of redemption, we love to present it in an array of ways and perspectives with people who are in various life phases. Recently, we captured a session with Libby Handford, wife to the late Walt Handford, who pastored our church for 31 years, from 1965 to 1996.
Libby has continued to impact the community around her long after Walt retired and even after his passing. She has led several Bible studies, written a handful of books, and led various discussions on the Christian life from her own experiences with so many people. Anyone who has spent time with her knows her love for Jesus is incredibly evident, and she’s undoubtedly one of the wittiest people around. If her ministry has impacted your life, you'll want to stick around for this one. Even if you’re new, we trust you’ll get something out of it. So, enjoy this episode centered on putting Jesus on display through your story with Libby Handford.

S3:02 | What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches
What we “hear what the Spirit saying to the church” in Revelation is simple and profound. This is a Revelation of who Jesus is and what He’s up to in the world. He is the incarnate, crucified, risen, ascended, glorified Lord. He rules over everything from government to galaxies while standing in the middle of His churches. He says to us, “Listen to Me,” “Keep your eyes on Me,” and “Don’t be afraid, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys to Death and Hades.”

S3:04 | Choosing Faith Over Fear
In our moments of suffering and persecution, many of us wrestle with 3 prominent questions: Where are you God? Are you aware of what I’m walking through? What are you going to do about it? And that is what is in view here as we look at this letter to the Church at Smyrna.

S3:07 | God's Invitation to Intimacy
The enemy is seeking to entice people away from God’s good design. He’s done this since Eden. In the first-century world of the New Testament, as well as in our own day, the bait on the devil’s hook is often sexual in nature. But we can’t forget—sexuality in the Bible is not just the reality of intimacy shared between a husband and a wife. It’s also meant to be a metaphor for the intimacy and connection between God and his people. After all, the Bible begins and concludes with marriage bookends. So, it should come as no surprise that Satan seeks to allure us away from the power and purity of these things – whether or not we’re married in this life.

1 Chronicles 29 can be summed up in three short phrases—three short phrases that define who we are as God’s people and who I am as a recipient of God’s grace. Everything belongs to God, everything comes from God, and everything is distributed by God. To understand and embrace those three truths about God is also to understand and embrace our need to move from thinking of ourselves as owners of our stuff to stewards of God’s stuff.
