S2, E8: In this episode, we unpack the most important question Jesus ever asked: “Who do YOU say that I am?” From the pagan backdrop of Caesarea Philippi to Peter’s declaration that Jesus is the Christ, we explore what it means to call Jesus Savior and King—and how that answer shapes your worldview, marriage, parenting, money, time, and mission.FEATURING: Lead Pastor Chris Fletcher, Dr. Carlo Serrano, and Jaemi Serrano.

S2, E7: In this episode, we wrestle with Jesus’ haunting question in Mark 14 — “Could you not watch one hour?” We explore the different types of prayer, why prayer is directly tied to resisting temptation, and what Peter’s very public failure teaches us about preparation, consequences, and grace. This conversation challenges the idea that good intentions are enough and calls us to become people — and a church — who actually watch, pray, and prepare for the tests ahead.FEATURING: Lead Pastor Chris Fletcher, Rachel Fletcher, and Pastor Jeff Christensen. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel.
S2, E4: In this episode, we turn our attention outwards. We discuss how the Church should be without walls and the role that each of us plays as individuals to advance God's Kingdom. If we want to be obedient to Jesus, we have to evangelize, serve others, and give. Following Jesus is more than an inward spiritual journey; it's a lifestyle of sacrifice and service.

S2, E3: In this episode, we talk about why spiritual growth was never meant to be done alone. We revisit worship as more than music, unpack why fellowship is essential (not optional), explore how accountability leads to healing instead of shame, and confront the hard reality of forgiveness—especially when the hurt comes from inside the church. This conversation challenges individualistic faith and calls us back to a biblical vision of following Jesus together.FEATURING: Lead Pastor Chris Fletcher and Pastor James Lewis. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel.
S2, E2: In this episode, we unpack the Big Three spiritual habits - Bible, prayer, and worship - and why your habits, not your intentions, determine the direction, pace, and peace of your life. We talk about measuring gains instead of gaps, starting from the beginning, and why showing up today matters more than spiritual perfection.FEATURING: Lead Pastor Chris Fletcher and Dr. Carlo Serrano. Hosted by Pastor Nick Ertel.
S2, E1: In this episode, we launch Season 2 of the Morning Manna Podcast with "Firm Foundations" and ask the question: How do you actually start well? We walk through Jesus’ Great Commandment and Great Commission as the load-bearing framework of the Christian life — loving God, loving others, and living on mission. We unpack why habits don’t work without love, why faith is both personal and communal, and why starting right matters more than trying harder later. This episode sets the theological and practical foundation for the entire series.FEATURING: Lead Pastor Chris Fletcher & Pastor Jeff Christensen.
