A message from the series “The Other Six Podcast.” The importance of prayer in the life of the believer cannot be overstated. Again and again in the Bible we see accounts of people praying to the Lord and seeing amazing things happen. Through prayer, armies are defeated, the blind see, the lame walk, and the dead are brought back to life. Prayer is quite literally the way we talk to God and one of the ways that God speaks to us. In God’s family, we are commanded to pray for one another, with all kinds of requests and on all kinds of occasions. But what about when we pray and we don’t see results? What about praying in the tough times when we just don’t feel like it? How can we lean on the power of prayer when God feels far away? And how can we open up to others about what is going on in our lives when it could be embarrassing or shameful? Join Pastors Jim, Chad, and Matt for a conversation on the importance of prayer and how we can utilize prayer in God’s family as we live out the One Another life that the Lord has called us to.

A message from the series “The Other Six Podcast.” At some point in everyone’s life, we have all struggled with being accepted or rejected. Maybe in elementary school you were picked last for dodgeball. Maybe in middle school you were made fun of. Maybe in high school you were left out of the group. Maybe as an adult you were pushed aside or dismissed as not important enough to consider. The truth is, no matter who you are or where you are from, rejection has at some point come to call on you. In God’s family, however, we are called to accept one another. Even so, people have still experienced a lack of acceptance from those in the church. That can be especially painful. Then there is the world around us. Our culture is constantly screaming “accept me the way I am!“, so is that what we are supposed to do? Blind acceptance no matter what? But how can we accept those who are living a lifestyle contrary to what the Bible says? The Bible makes it clear that acceptance is so important, but how do we practically and faithfully live out a one another lifestyle of accepting like Scripture calls us to in the world today? Join Pastors Jim, Chad, and Matt for a conversation on what Biblical acceptance looks like, where to draw the line when it comes to sin, and how God expects His children to accept one another in His family.

A message from the series “The Other Six Podcast.” There is really nothing that everyone in the entire world can agree on, but the closest statement that might find universal acceptance is that life is tough. Did we hear an “amen” there through the screen? The burdens of life can be so difficult to deal with. Truthfully, for many, it seems like those burdens get tougher every day. We carry so many burdens in our lives like our finances, relationships, job concerns, marriage, health…the list goes on and on. But are these things meant to be burdens? And are we meant to carry them alone? Or does God have a better plan for us to help us when we face the burdens of this life? The truth is that God has given us His family as a way for us to bear one another’s burdens and to help each other in our times of need. But how do we access that? Join Pastors Jim, Chad, and Matt for a conversation on the burdens of this life and how God has designed us to be in relationship with one another to help ease the weights of life that so many of us carry.

A message from the series “The Other Six Podcast.” When it comes to the concept of love, there is no shortage of stories, songs, poems, movies, books, and more throughout all of human history that attempt to convey what it truly means to love someone. Even so, love, for some people, can be difficult to define. We know it when we experience it. We also know what it means to be unloved, to feel like we are isolated or alone or even hurt by those that we expected to feel love from. In Scripture, Jesus says that the world will know that we are followers of Him by the way that we love. Jesus is the perfect picture of true love, and we are called to be imitators of Him. So how do we do that? How do we, as imperfect people, love other imperfect people perfectly like Jesus did? Is that even possible? Join Pastors Jim, Chad, and Matt for a discussion on how to love like Jesus and how we are called to love one another in the family of God.

A message from the series “The Other Six Podcast.” Families. We all have them. Most of the time we are grateful for our families, for the love and support they provide in the good times and the bad. There are times, however, where it can be tough to be around family. Family comes in all shapes and sizes as well. What may seem normal in one household can seem absolutely odd to a visitor from another family. There are traditional families, blended families, blood-relations, the family that you choose…the list goes on and on.
In God’s family, we see much the same thing. God has designed us to be in relationship with one another, so it is important for us to learn how to survive and thrive in the family of God. But what does that look like practically? What about when God’s family seems or feels tough to be in? What about when we look around, and realize we NEED each other in this life? Join Pastors Jim, Chad, and Matt for a discussion on how to live with one another in God’s family, some challenges that we all face in doing so, and experience the blessings that come along with being a part of the family of God.
