Transform Your Mind | Leadership Lessons 06/10/2025

Transform Your Mind | Leadership Lessons In this weeks Leadership Lessons we're challenged to embrace new thinking as we walk through the doors God opens for us. Basing off of Romans 12:2, Pastor Kevin Myers encourages us not to conform to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This transformation isn't about our performance, but about staying connected to God - the true vine. This teaching encourages us to base our decisions on God's Word rather than our emotions, emphasizing that God wants us to discern His will through our renewed thinking. It's a call to see our trials, relationships, and uncertain situations as gifts from God, shifting our perspective from earning to receiving. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36938700

Unless the Lord builds the house | Manhattan What does it really mean to build your life, your ministry, or your future with God not just for Him?

From Babel to the Upper Room, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores how the Spirit builds what striving never could. Jesus is not only the cornerstone. He’s the builder.

Three Elements of Fruitful Leadership | Leadership Lessons 06/03/2025

Three Elements of Fruitful Leadership | Leadership Lessons In our spiritual journey, we're called to bring an encounter with God to others.In todays Leadership Lesson we explore three key elements of fruitful leadership: encounter, experience, and equipping. The encounter stems from our own spiritual formation and leadership development. This process shapes us into the image of God (Imago Dei), preparing us to minister effectively. Pastor Mark Kelsey challenges us to cultivate daily disciplines of intimate connection with God, embrace the transformative power of suffering, and integrate our whole being - spirit, soul, and body. As we grow in these areas, we become vessels through which others can encounter God's presence. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36836930

Why Jesus | Manhattan 06/02/2025

Why Jesus | Manhattan The Psalms of Ascent remind us that faith moves upward even when life feels like it's falling apart. Jesus’ journey from Palm Sunday to Gethsemane shows us the reality of both joy and sorrow on the road of obedience. Pastor Mark Kelsey highlights that our direction matters more than our condition. Jesus stayed oriented toward the Father, anchored in identity, not emotion. His surrender “Not my will, but yours be done” wasn’t weakness, but strength. We’re invited into the same posture. In every season, God is present. Nothing can separate us from His love. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36818590

True Joy In Real Life | Manhattan 05/28/2025

True Joy In Real Life | Manhattan Psalm 126 paints a vivid picture of joy rising out of sorrow. It recalls the Israelites’ return from exile, a moment of divine restoration that reflects our own journey with God. As they remembered what He had done, their mouths were filled with laughter, and hope was reignited. This act of remembering is not just nostalgic; it’s a spiritual practice that fuels endurance. We’re called to sow in tears, remaining faithful in seasons of struggle, trusting that God is cultivating something deeper. Pastor Kevin Myers points out that the life of faith is a steady ascent one that shapes us through every high and low. As we walk this path in community, we learn to ask boldly, trust deeply, and anticipate the harvest of joy that God promises. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36739385

Tears of Joy | Brooklyn 05/28/2025

Tears of Joy | Brooklyn The life of a disciple is not an individual pursuit but a shared journey rooted in community. Just as the Israelites journeyed together toward Jerusalem, relying on God through both trials and triumphs, we too are called to a steady ascent toward Him. Psalm 126 reminds us that joy isn’t a fleeting emotion tied to circumstances, it’s the deep, enduring fruit of a life rooted in God’s faithfulness. This Sunday Pastor Stephanie Rivas paints a picture of the life of faith as a pilgrimage. One where tears are sown in trust, and God brings forth a harvest of joy. Along this path, we are shaped by generosity, worship, and shared spiritual growth. This is the invitation: to live lives as living testimonies, spreading the light of God’s joy through our communities and daily interactions. Together, we learn to see joy as a divine promise, cultivating resilience that testifies to God’s unwavering goodness. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36739340

Worship in the Middle | Leadership Lessons 05/20/2025

Worship in the Middle | Leadership Lessons Worship isn't just a song it's a lifestyle that anchors us in the middle of uncertainty, pain and pressure. In this weeks Leadership Lesson, our Worship Director Tameeka Walker unpacks the power of worship when life doesn't make sense. Drawing from Acts 16, Tameeka shows how Paul and Silas didn't wait for breakthrough to worship, they were already prepared. Worship shifts atmospheres, builds spiritual endurance and keeps our hearts aligned with God even when we're pressed but not yet delivered. In the middle of the process, the tension and the unknown, worship creates space for God to move. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36645660

Praise the Name of the Lord | Manhattan 05/19/2025

Praise the Name of the Lord | Manhattan Worship isn't rooted in preference it's anchored in presence. Pastor Banning continues our journey through the Psalms of Ascent with a call to reorient our hearts around the One who's worthy. Singing together isn't about what we feel, but what we bring: unified adoration. It's not performance, it's offering. As we reflect, we're invited to ask: is our worship shaped by convenience or by reverence? Discipleship begins not with what moves us but with what we surrender. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36627650

Arrows & Coals | Manhattan 05/12/2025

Arrows & Coals | Manhattan Exile isn't always a place, it's a condition of the soul. Pastor Josh begin this journey of ascent by exploring the restleness that awakens when we realize we no longer belong where we are. The way of Jesus isn't about conveinece it's about courage to return. As we reflect, we're invited to examine whether we're drifting or truly walking with God. Discipleship begins not with arrival but with the ache to come home. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36536670

You May Be Seated | ALLIN 05/09/2025

You May Be Seated | ALLIN Drawing from Hebrews 10, Pastor Ryan Schlachter unpacks the powerful truth of being seated with Christ. Reminding us that while Old Testament priests stood daily offering repeated sacrifices, Jesus made one final sacrifice and is now seated at the right hand of God. Because of this, we no longer strive for God’s approval but serve from a place of rest. This shift frees us from guilt and shame, inviting us to live in the fullness of Christ’s forgiveness and approach life’s struggles from a place of already-won victory. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36507965

The Delight of Doubt | Manhattan 04/29/2025

The Delight of Doubt | Manhattan Doubt in our faith journey is often a misunderstood concept. When looking at the story of Thomas in John 20, we discover that doubt isn't the enemy of faith, but rather a catalyst for deeper belief. Our doubts often reveal our true desire for God, and that he does not neglect our questions and uncertainties, but actually welcomes them. Thomas' story encourages us to keep pursuing God and his mission even when we don't have all the answers, remembering that Jesus promised to be with us always. This perspective shift on doubt can revolutionize our approach to faith, allowing us to embrace our questions as part of our growth rather than feeling ashamed or discouraged by them. In this week's Manhattan message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter challenges us to see doubt as a tool that can strengthen our faith when we bring it to God and our community. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36357070

Faith For Doubters | Brooklyn 04/29/2025

Faith For Doubters | Brooklyn In our daily lives, doubt can actually be a gateway to faith by becoming an element to deeper trust and intimacy with God. The story of 'Doubting Thomas' in John 20 teaches us that Jesus meets us in our uncertainties with compassion and understanding. Instead of letting doubt construct walls between us and God, Thomas' story challenges us to bring our doubts openly to him. In this Sunday's Brooklyn message, Pastor Amy Perez illustrates how God's delays are often intentional, designed to grow our faith and reveal His glory. As we navigate our own doubts, we're invited to trust in God's mindfulness of us, remembering that He hears our every prayer and cares deeply for our struggles. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36356830

“What Now” Leaders | Leadership Lessons 04/28/2025

“What Now” Leaders | Leadership Lessons As we celebrate Easter Sunday, Pastor Ryan Schlachter looks forward to how we as leaders can continue to grow and minister to God and others around us. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36340240

The Tomb That Talks | Easter Sunday 04/22/2025

The Tomb That Talks | Easter Sunday The empty tomb speaks volumes, even in its silence. This Easter message invites us to explore the profound implications of Christ's resurrection. The rolled-away stone wasn't just for Jesus to exit, but for us to enter and witness the miracle. This empty tomb declares that death is defeated, sin is conquered, and hope is alive. It's not just a historical fact, but a living reality that transforms our present and future. The resurrection offers us a new life—not just an improved version of our old selves, but a completely new creation. It challenges us to die to our old ways and embrace the abundant life Jesus promises. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter invites us to consider: How does the empty tomb speak to our current struggles? Are we living in the newness of life Christ offers, or clinging to our old selves? /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36262860

Completely Good, Completely Done | Good Friday 04/22/2025

Completely Good, Completely Done | Good Friday When we explore Jesus' seven last sayings as he went to the cross, we uncover a tapestry of divine love, mercy, and redemption. From 'Father, forgive them' to 'It is finished,' each utterance reveals a facet of God's character and His plan for humanity. This challenges us to see the cross not just as a historical event, but as a personal invitation to experience God's forgiveness, family, and freedom. In this Good Friday message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter urges us to stop trying to earn God's love and instead rest in the finished work of Christ, surrendering our lives to the One who gave everything for us. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36262635

Resurrection in the Silence | Leadership Lessons 04/15/2025

Resurrection in the Silence | Leadership Lessons Holy week is filled with events happening on every day, but the day after Jesus' death everything remained silent. In times of waiting on God, it's easy to be defeated by the silence that stands before us; however, we see that after the silence comes new life and promises fulfilled. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Fount Kid's Director Steph Rivas encourages us with ways to walk through seasons where God seems silent, and how to wait upon the promises that he has already reamined true to. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36158230

A Different King | Manhattan 04/15/2025

A Different King | Manhattan Through his entry into Jerusalem, Jesus reveals that he is not just a humble king, but a different kind of king altogether. As the crowds chanted “Hosanna” while he rode into the city on a donkey, we see that true greatness often comes wrapped in unexpected packages. How often do we expect God to show up in a way that we want, instead of the way that we need? In this week's Sunday message in Manhattan, Pastor Ryan Schlachter calls us to reflect on whether we’re truly ready to follow Jesus, not just in moments of triumph, but through the valleys of challenge and change. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36151905

Your King Comes To You | Brooklyn 04/15/2025

Your King Comes To You | Brooklyn The triumphal entry into Jerusalem, recorded in John 12, reveals a beautiful paradox: the King of Kings riding on a donkey, fulfilling ancient prophecies. This image challenges our expectations and reminds us that God's ways often defy human logic. We're called to recognize Jesus as our sovereign ruler, not just in grand moments, but in the everyday aspects of our lives. This Palm Sunday in Brooklyn, Pastor Kathryn Myers urges us to surrender our hearts fully to Christ's governance, trusting that His seemingly paradoxical approach, strength through humility, victory through sacrifice, is the path to true peace and transformation in our lives. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36151840

That's Enough! | Manhattan 04/08/2025

That's Enough! | Manhattan In the last commandment, we see that the call to not covet leads us to find our satisfaction in God alone. When we shift our focus from what others have to what God has graciously provided, we discover the secret of contentment. In this Sunday's Manhattan message, Pastor Amy Perez encourages us to realign our desires, put God at the center, and find true fulfillment in His presence rather than in pursuit of more. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36052905

No Thanks, I'm Stuffed | Brooklyn 04/08/2025

No Thanks, I'm Stuffed | Brooklyn It’s easy in this life to always long for something other than what we have, but our insatiable desire for more often stems from a lack of trust in God's provision. Through the tenth commandment, we’re challenged to examine our hearts and recognize that coveting isn't just about material possessions, but extends to relationships, influence, and even productivity. In this Sunday’s Brooklyn message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter reminds us is that contentment comes not from having everything we want, but from recognizing that in God, we have everything we need. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36052715

For Your Consideration | ALLIN 04/08/2025

For Your Consideration | ALLIN The Bible encourages us to not grow weary in doing good, because there is a temptation for us to not finish the race that is set before us. The way that we run the race well is not looking at how able we are to run the race, but looking to the one who ran it first. Jesus walked through this life and did not forsake the pain and hardships of humanity so that we would know what it looks like to walk through suffering in this life. In this month's ALLIN message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter reminds us that we can find joy when we are weary because in Him there is a fullness of joy ahead. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36052250

The Joy of a Leader | Leadership Lessons 04/08/2025

The Joy of a Leader | Leadership Lessons The Bible commands us to be people who are joy filled, but if we are not careful we will put joy in a box on how we are to receive it. We are to be those who exhibit joy to the world, because joy and generosity is our greatest witness to the cities around us. It shows lives changed by Jesus. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter invites us to be a people who are marked by joy that comes not from this world, but from the presence of Jesus. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/36052145

The Lies We Love and the Truth That Saves | Manhattan 04/01/2025

The Lies We Love and the Truth That Saves | Manhattan The ninth commandment goes beyond simply avoiding lies; it calls us to embrace truth in all aspects of our lives. God himself is Truth, and as his followers, we're called to reflect this attribute by using our words for truth and a tool for building up others. In this week’s Sunday message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter encourages us to seek honesty not just in our words, but in our hearts, recognizing that self-deception can be the most damaging form of dishonesty. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/35959275

Faith that Finishes | Leadership Lessons 03/25/2025

Faith that Finishes | Leadership Lessons The story of Jonah isn't just about a man swallowed by a fish; it's a mirror reflecting our own struggles with obedience, trust, and compassion. We're invited to see Jonah not as a hero, but as a cautionary tale—a man who knew about God but failed to truly know Him. Are we, like Jonah, merely going through the motions of obedience without growing in trust and humility? In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Amy Perez urges us to move beyond simply doing what God says, to developing a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. /episode/index/show/c3brooklyn/id/35855475
