Smells Like Smoke

Are you coasting through life, feeling worn out and unsure of your purpose? Or perhaps you're thriving in your faith but lack urgency for those in need of hope. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to follow Jesus with total commitment—no turning back. Inspired by the story of Spanish explorer Cortés, who burned his ships to eliminate retreat as an option, we dive into Luke 9:57-62 to discover the ships we must burn in our own lives: comfort, cultural expectations, and the past. Join us as we challenge ourselves to embrace a life of urgency and eternal purpose, leaving behind anything that holds us back from fully following Christ.

In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of "burning our ships"—letting go of past regrets, mistakes, and negative attachments that hold us back. Using the story of Matthew, a tax collector transformed by Jesus, we learn the importance of leaving the past behind to fully embrace the future God has for us. We also talk about how God’s grace can radically transform lives. Just like Matthew and Cesar, we’re invited to burn our ships and step into a new beginning. Join us as we discuss how to let go, embrace grace, and move forward with purpose. Don’t miss this chance to start fresh!

In this episode, we delve into what it truly means to love our neighbors, especially those we don't know, those we pass by daily, and those who live and believe differently than we do. We start with a fundamental question: Who is your neighbor? Jesus teaches us through the parable of the Good Samaritan that loving our neighbor goes beyond those we are comfortable with. It means reaching out, rubbing elbows with those in need, and showing compassion in practical ways. In Luke 10:25-37, we see that real love involves action, not just words. We explore how Jesus' command to love our neighbors challenges us to go to places others won't, do things others aren't willing to do, and reach people who need to hear about Jesus. The pandemic highlighted our need for community and the importance of serving others, but this is a timeless command for every day. Join us as we uncover how to live out this call to love our neighbors, share inspiring stories of community impact, and challenge ourselves to be the church that restores, redeems, and reclaims culture.

In this episode, we explore the vital role of community in our lives, especially in the aftermath of recent global events. Hebrews 10:24-25 teaches us about the importance of motivating one another to acts of love and good works, and the necessity of meeting together for encouragement. We'll share compelling stories from the pandemic, such as the powerful graveside service that highlighted the profound impact of being together, even from a distance. Discover practical steps to enhance community, from simple acts of kindness to engaging in church events like our online services and Rooted groups. Join us as we uncover the true essence of community, inspired by biblical teachings and real-life experiences. Learn how to navigate today's challenges by embracing the power of togetherness, standing firm in faith, and leading with love. Tune in and be inspired to build and sustain meaningful connections.

Join us in our new series, "Committed," where Trevor, Amanda and their guest Grady Barber explore the vital role of the church in today's uncertain world. In this episode, we dive into the powerful message, "A Scared World Needs a Fearless Church." We discuss the church's call to move from panic to promise and the importance of being committed not just to the church but to being the church for those around us. We also address common concerns about church attendance and engagement, emphasizing that while no church is perfect, commitment to a local congregation is crucial for spiritual growth and community impact. Throughout the episode, we reflect on New Testament teachings, focusing on unity, fellowship, and the mission to make disciples. We challenge listeners to shift their perspective from what they can receive to what they can offer to the church and God's kingdom. As we navigate this journey together, we encourage everyone to say "yes" to serving and participating in the life of the church, understanding that true love for Jesus naturally extends to His bride, the church. Tune in to be inspired, challenged, and equipped to be the light in a world that desperately needs hope.

In this episode, we dive deep into the profound message from Sunday’s sermon on the transformative power of bringing heaven to earth. Life often feels like a relentless struggle, a personal hell filled with diagnoses, job issues, and wayward children. But what if we could change that? What if, through our actions and faith, we could experience and share a piece of heaven right here, right now? Join us as we explore how to navigate life’s toughest challenges by embracing the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6:9-15, the Lord’s Prayer. We’ll discuss the importance of community, the intimacy of calling God "Father," and the revolutionary idea that we can experience heaven on earth through forgiveness. Hear a powerful personal story of betrayal and the long journey to forgiveness, illustrating how forgiveness brings freedom and restores peace. We’ll also look at practical steps we can take to bring heaven to earth for those around us by healing, helping, and giving generously. Tune in to discover how we, as a church, can be people of peace, hope dealers, and heaven givers. Learn how simple acts of kindness, like supporting single parents or praying over those in crisis, can make a profound impact. In this episode, we challenge you to reflect on who you need to forgive, including yourself, and how you can start sharing the peace and hope you’ve received with others. Let’s work together to rescue others from their personal hells by stepping into their struggles and showing them the love and light of heaven.

We explore how we can live out the call to be agents of peace in a world often marred by evil and hurt. In this episode, we delve into the profound challenge of responding to pain and abuse not with retaliation, but with grace and peace. We welcome our guest Hillary Grigel who dives into how she found peace through prayer and forgiveness after a very traumatizing event in her life.

As our culture teeters on the edge of chaos, what if the church "POP" meant something transformative? Instead of protests and division, imagine us becoming "People of Peace."

We'll delve into Matthew 9:35-38 and discover our calling to be peacemakers in our communities. Tune in to learn how you can be a small but powerful force for peace, hope, and change.

In this week’s episode, Trevor and Dylan dive into the message from this past weekend. The topic of discussion was Sacrificial Generosity: Giving demonstrates our dependence on God. We acknowledge that all we own has been given to us by Him. In His generosity toward us, God desires that we, too, are generous and will use our resources as a tangible way to partner with Him in His work in the world and in the lives of those around us. We are blessed to be a blessing. They talk about living within or below your means to live generously and what living generously can look like for different people. On this week's coffee break, Dylan talked a bit about the Coffee Crawl he did with his best friend in San Diego. The guys highlight their love for Necessity (but when do they not?), and Trevor talks about a new coffee he picked up from Presta.
