YWAM Colorado Springs Podcast

This past Monday night, we dove into the transformative message of "Saved People are Sent People" with Andi Custer. As the national director of DecisionPoint, Andi shares his passion for spreading the Gospel and equipping others to do the same. We explore the profound calling of discipleship, emphasizing that Jesus calls us to be with Him so He can send us out to preach. Andi challenges us to live life on mission, reminding us that evangelism is not just for the mature in faith but for every follower of Jesus. Join us as we uncover the importance of being active participants in God's mission, inspired by the early church's response to persecution. This episode will motivate you to embrace your role in sharing the Gospel and living a life of purpose.

In this episode of the YWAM Colorado Springs Podcast, I welcome Shannon Casteel from YWAM Kona, Hawaii, who shares her inspiring journey of faith and leadership. Shannon dives deep into the challenges she faced while leading the Brave Love Women ministry, emphasizing the importance of staying true to God's calling amidst personal struggles. She recounts her transformative experience in Nigeria, where she and a team of young women provided support to widows impacted by violence. Through powerful testimonies, Shannon encourages listeners to step out in faith, even when faced with doubt and fear. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that God's glory can shine through our vulnerabilities, empowering us to impact lives around us. Join us as we explore what it truly means to live for Him and to be vessels of His love in a world that desperately needs it.

Some call it “radical faith.” We call it walking with God. Join us as we wrestle with what it means to obey when every part of you wants to quit, and how surrendering to God’s will can open doors you never thought you’d walk through.

In this episode of the CosCast, we sat down with Jeff Mathis, the dynamic base leader of YWAM Nashville. Jeff shares his passion for empowering the next generation, particularly Gen Z, to engage in missions. He recounts his transformative journey from a troubled high schooler to a fervent advocate for youth involvement in the Great Commission. Jeff discusses the importance of adapting methods to reach young people effectively and highlights the innovative approaches YWAM Nashville employs to mobilize youth for global missions. Join us as we explore Jeff's inspiring vision and commitment to seeing every young person play a vital role in the mission field.

In this episode of the YWAM Colorado Springs Podcast, I delve into the theme of radical obedience and what it means to say yes to God even when faced with fear and uncertainty. I share personal stories, including a tense encounter involving a stolen laptop, to illustrate the lengths we often go to for material possessions. Yet, how much more should we be willing to risk when God calls us to step out in faith? We explore biblical examples, like Noah's unwavering faith in building the ark despite seeming foolish to others. Join me as we discuss the importance of co-creating with God and offering our first fruits in obedience.

This Monday Night, Ben Phillips delivers a powerful message on the kind of radical, unwavering faith Gen Z is called to walk in. Drawing from Scripture and personal stories, he challenges listeners to stop living safe and start living surrendered — trusting God with bold, seemingly crazy steps of obedience. Whether it’s starting something new, holding onto purity, or stepping out despite fear, this episode is a wake-up call to live a faith-filled life that will leave a legacy. Are you ready to say yes again?

Chelsie Phillips teaches out of Romans 12:1-2 and what it looks like to be a kingdom influencer. She talks about biblical literacy among Gen Z, how 36% identify as christian but of those only 4% have a biblical world view. Rather then conforming to the world, we as christians must be transformed by Gods word, taking every part of it as truth. There is no excuses for not reading the bible and Chelsie challenges us to make a commitment to read the bible at least 4 times a week. She shares about the importance of making it a priority and also shares statistics showing the positive impact that it can have on all aspects of life.If you want to join us on a Monday Night in person we host them in Colorado Springs the first Monday night of the month at 7pm.
