Sneak Peek Night | Baby Food Faith 03/31/2025

Sneak Peek Night | Baby Food Faith We all have a next step, right? One of the things about faith and walking with Jesus is the ability to care for our own self and make sure that we are eating at the right table. I remember as a young kid at Thanksgiving, I would sit at the “Kids table.” Being at the kids table is good for a season, but I remember the desire to move up to the adult table. In our walk with Jesus, we should always be growing, always be asking, and always be searching. How do we mature in our faith? How to we grow? /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/35925775

“Upside Down: Sermons From The Mount” – Part 4 | Ask, Seek, Knock 03/17/2025

“Upside Down: Sermons From The Mount” – Part 4 | Ask, Seek, Knock Prayer is the fundamental communication for us to know the character and the nature of God. When we arrive at the moment of prayer, it can be like knocking on God’s door. Will we knock? What if He answers? What if he doesn’t? What will he do? /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/35660880

“Upside Down: Sermons From The Mount” – Part 3 | Salt & Light 03/10/2025

“Upside Down: Sermons From The Mount” – Part 3 | Salt & Light As we approach Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season, it’s time to take some self-inventory. Where in my faith am I strong? Where am I week? Am I compassionate? Do I care? Am I humble? Do I seek peace or do I seek to stir the pot? Our text tonight is about being Salt and Light. Jesus lays out commands for how we are to differential ourselves from everyone else – not so we can be exclusive, but so that we might bring this Upside-Down Kingdom to those around us. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/35612040

“Upside Down: Sermons From The Mount” – Part 2 | The Extra Mile 03/03/2025

“Upside Down: Sermons From The Mount” – Part 2 | The Extra Mile The extra mile reflects the character of Jesus. It isn’t always easy to go the extra mile. To do something for someone else requires time, energy, care, concern, effort. However, the second mile is where we see Jesus in ourselves and other people. The extra mile is where we see Jesus at work in and through us. It’s where we reflect His love in a way that makes people ask why. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/35515300

“Upside Down: Sermons from the Mount” – Part 1 | The Beatitudes 02/24/2025

“Upside Down: Sermons from the Mount” – Part 1 | The Beatitudes As we approach Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season, it’s time to take some self-inventory. Where in my faith am I strong? Where am I week? Am I compassionate? Do I care? Am I humble? Do I seek peace or do I seek to stir the pot? Matthew 5 begins Jesus first public teaching. In it, Jesus lays out the plan for this new movement he’s about to start. The words of Jesus seem upside down in today’s world, but if we care to ponder and apply them to our own life, might we find what we are so often looking for…. Peace, love, joy, and hope. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/35355450

New Year, Now What? A Call to Next 02/03/2025

New Year, Now What? A Call to Next Throughout life, there’s always something coming up next. While we naturally look ahead in so many areas of life, we have to ask ourselves: Do we have the same mindset when it comes to our relationship with Jesus? This week, Makayla closes our series by reminding us of the next that Jesus invites us all to. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/35119100

New Year, Now What? Week 3: A Call to Now, Part 2 | Aaron Talbott 01/27/2025

New Year, Now What? Week 3: A Call to Now, Part 2 | Aaron Talbott We can have a NEW year or we can have ANOTHER year, right? What do we do when we aren’t where we used to be, but aren’t where we are supposed to be? What happens when we feel like we are stuck in the NOW? We take a look at two accounts in Mark where the disciples are caught in the “meantime,” waiting for Jesus to lead them to what is next. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/34826200

Conversation with Ernestina Annan 01/19/2025

Conversation with Ernestina Annan We had an opportunity to sit down with our friend and student ministry volunteer, Ernestina Annan. What an INCREDIBLE conversation! From Ghana, moving to New York at 15 (by herself), to Asheville, to Evans, we are incredibly fortunate to have had a short window into her life and her family history. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/34888625

New Year, Now What? Week 2: A Call to Now | Aaron Talbott 01/12/2025

New Year, Now What? Week 2: A Call to Now | Aaron Talbott We can have a NEW year or we can have ANOTHER year, right? As we proceed into 2025, can we reevaluate our answer to a question posed to Jesus’ closest relationships? Jesus pauses before journeying into the heart of Jerusalem and impending death to place this question at the very forefront of importance, for the disciple’s response would dictate the future of the church. It’s a question that still begs of us today. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/34826160

New Year, Now What? Week 1: A Call to New | Aaron Talbott 01/05/2025

New Year, Now What? Week 1: A Call to New | Aaron Talbott We can have a NEW year or we can have ANOTHER year, right? Beyond the resolutions and goal-setting (which are absolutely important), how can we be paying attention to where Jesus is calling us to something new? What nets do we need to drop in our lives in order to respond to the unique and special call that God has put on our lives? Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, in the gym, on the stage, or at our place of work, what new thing is happening… and how can we listen closely and respond as “deep-end” disciples of Jesus? /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/34724760

Your Playlist - Week 1: "Enough is a Myth" | Makayla 09/23/2024

Your Playlist - Week 1: "Enough is a Myth" | Makayla We all have internal "playlists"—thoughts we repeat to ourselves over and over. One of the most common lies teenagers tell themselves is, "I'm not enough." Whether it's feeling inadequate, unqualified, or unworthy, this myth plays on repeat in the minds of many. But what if we could change that playlist? In this first message of the "Your Playlist" series, we will explore how even some of the greatest figures in the Bible struggled with feeling like they weren’t enough for what God was calling them to do. Moses doubted his ability to lead, Gideon questioned his strength, and Jeremiah believed he was too young. But in each case, God reminded them that He is more than enough. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/33163132

Our Family Story | Rebekah Bryant 09/16/2024

Our Family Story | Rebekah Bryant Our past might be complicated & our families may be dysfunctional, but God places really significant grownups in our lives to help us find a place to belong, guide us on the humble path to God’s call, & give us space to build a better identity. In this message, we look at the opening of Moses’ story in Exodus & explore the ways important parental figures shaped his life & ministry. /episode/index/show/965ed798-6922-4d40-a3ff-5a1f624603d8/id/33058217
