The Other Six Podcast

In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we explore what it means to truly put Jesus First, with a question that gets to the heart of how we live: Who’s really in charge of your life? We take a look at what happens when we stop putting ourselves at the center and begin putting Jesus first. The Jesus-first life isn’t simply about adding Jesus to everything else we’re already doing—it’s about letting Him transform how we see ourselves, how we live, and how we follow Him. What does that actually change? And what does it look like to live under the loving, wise, and liberating rule of Jesus? In a world that constantly tells us to put ourselves first, this message challenges us to consider what life could look like when Jesus takes His rightful place at the center. This week, discover what happens when Jesus truly becomes first.

What makes a church feel like family? One big part of it is learning to serve one another. In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we talk about how God didn’t just save us from something—He saved us for something. Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that while we aren’t saved by good works, we are saved for good works. We’ll explore how God has uniquely SHAPEd each of us to serve through our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. Whether it’s serving with VF Buddies, Worship & Production, Follow Up & Care, or another area of the church, there’s a place for you to use what God has given you to meet needs, love people, and bring glory to Him. Church feels like family when we don’t just attend the family—we serve in the family.

What does it really mean to be part of the family of God? In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we dive deeper into Romans 12 and Ephesians 2 to uncover what it means to move from being strangers and outsiders to being fully welcomed into God’s household. Paul’s message to the early church was more than an invitation to attend—it was a call to belong, to serve, and to recognize that we are members of one another. We’ll explore the tension between Jewish and Gentile believers in the first-century church, the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents, and why serving isn’t simply about volunteering—it’s one of the ways we live out our identity as the family of God. Because church feels like family when you treat it like family.

In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we unpack the biblical definition of a disciple, explore the significance of the Trinity in the Great Commission, and talk practically about what it looks like to live sent in our everyday lives. We’ll also connect the four rhythms we’ve explored throughout the series—gathering in worship, growing in the Word, giving to the mission, and going into the world—and see how each one fuels the others. And finally, we’ll look at how God Himself models a “sent” posture throughout Scripture and encourages those who may wonder, “Who am I supposed to reach if everyone I know already knows Jesus?” The rhythm doesn’t end when the series does. We are sent.

What we do with what God has given us reveals a lot about what we value. In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we are diving into Matthew 6:19–24 and Acts 4:32–37 to discover what it looks like to live with a Kingdom heart and practice the rhythm of generosity. Jesus reminds us that where our treasure is, our heart will follow—and that ultimately, God is our Master. In Acts 4, we see what happens when a church embraces generosity together: everyone makes a difference, everyone embraces sacrifice, and every gift has influence. Biblical sacrifice is giving up something we love for something we love even more. God gives to us so He can give through us. So what does your generosity say about your heart? Tune in as we talk about making a commitment to the rhythm of giving and using what God has entrusted to us to make an eternal difference.
