Belong. Become. Be Sent.

At some point everyone experiences challenges to their faith. Whether it's a situation you're going through, or having someone else challenge what you believe, we should be prepared to respond in faith. What challenges have you experienced? How did you respond? Can these challenges actually be a good thing? We discuss all this and more on today's podcast. 

One of Jesus' most famous parables is the "Wise and Foolish Builders." In this passage we find an important truth, that the foundation that we build our lives upon really does matter. Join the ROC crew this week as we discuss this foundation and how we can build upon something that will surely stand against the storms that come our way. 

How do you go about making tough decisions? Do you carefully weigh out the pros and cons or do you go with your gut? As followers of Jesus our decisions can either honor God and His will for our lives or demonstrate that we are pursuing something other than a relationship with Him. But how do we know what God wants, does He really care about small decisions, how can we know if we made the right decision? All great questions that we try and wrestle with in this week's episode of the Podcast. 

Listen in as Dodger, Noelle, Kristi, and our friend Derek talk about what they're thankful for this Thanksgiving and also discuss what it means to "Belong to God and each other."

Listen as Dodger, Noelle, and Darrin speak about growth for our first podcast of Fall semester 2020!

With graduation fast approaching, students are thinking about transitioning from college to careers. For many it's a time to put all of their gifts, abilities, and education to use in their careers. It's also a great time to consider how God may be using these exact same things to grow the Kingdom. 

There is plenty of bad advice when it comes to college being the time to make dumb decisions, live wildly, and "find yourself", but what if it were possible to actually get the most out of college while growing in your faith? We think it is. So do some of our students. Listen to their perspective on how they found meaningful ways to connect with their faith in college and grow spiritually and personally. 

We don't have idols lurking in our homes... do we? This week the guys discuss what idolatry looks like in our modern culture.
