The Open Space Podcast

In this episode, Amanda from the EveryHeart Movement in Grand Rapids, Michigan, teaches from Psalm 23 and explores what it means to truly believe the words, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Through Scripture and personal testimony, this message examines the tension between God's promises and the places where we still feel lack. From the Garden of Eden to Israel in the wilderness to the...

Nick Froese explores how the deepest lessons of faith are often taught through seasons of profound suffering. Drawing from the life of the Apostle Paul and the compassion of Jesus, Nick challenges our cultural "allergy to suffering" by showing that God's power is made perfect in our weakness. This episode features moving personal testimonies and a reflection on Psalm 23, inviting listeners to trus...

This episode is a message for anyone who feels worn down by anxiety, pressure, or the quiet belief that they should be doing better by now. Drawing from Philippians 4, Isaac reflects on the kind of peace Scripture describes as being beyond understanding. Not a peace that comes from having everything under control, but a peace that guards our hearts and minds even while life still feels heavy. Thro...

In this message, we open Luke 7:36–50 and step into a dinner party where Jesus is anointed by a woman known only as “a sinner.” Surrounded by religious leaders, social judgment, and unspoken tension, her response to Jesus becomes the model Jesus himself ties to the proclamation of the gospel. This teaching explores what revival truly looks like in this moment. Not hype, performance, or trend-drive...

In this episode we look at the life of King Solomon. The man who had everything. Wisdom, wealth, pleasure, projects, status, and influence. Yet after chasing every desire of his heart, Solomon looked back and said it was all vanity and like trying to catch the wind. His story exposes what happens when we try to build a life on things that cannot satisfy. We compare Solomon’s journey to ours today....

Sin has always separated us from God, not just through what we do, but through the lies we believe. Lies about who He is, what is good, and what will satisfy us. From the very beginning, those lies have pulled humanity away from the One who made us for relationship with Him. Yet even in our rebellion, God never stopped pursuing us. In the story of Hosea, we see His heart to buy back what was lost...

In this episode, we dive into James 1 and talk about how to find perspective in the middle of life’s challenges. The goal isn’t to glorify suffering but to see how God can use it to shape our faith and keep us grounded when life feels uncertain. Together, we’ll look at three things trials can develop in us: Reliance on God, Realness in our walk, and Reflection on His faithfulness. Whether you’re n...

In this episode, we dive into Romans 3:9–25 and are reminded of a simple but powerful truth: we can’t save ourselves. No amount of effort or “being good enough” could make us right with God — but Jesus stepped in, gave His life, and offered us grace we could never earn. That truth doesn’t just change our lives; it’s meant to move us to action. If the gospel really is this good, we can’t keep it to...

Welcome to the Open Space Podcast. In this episode, Isaac, shares his journey and the transformative power of embracing God as our Father. Drawing from personal anecdotes and Romans 8, Isaac dives into the significance of viewing God through the lens of a loving Father, encouraging us to approach Him boldly. He challenges the notion of earning God's favor and instead focuses on understanding and a...

Welcome back to the Open Space Podcast! At Open Space, our heart is to give young adults in Manitoba a place to gather, build community, and encounter Jesus together. In this episode, we talk about revival — not just as a big church word, but as God bringing life where there’s been decline or emptiness. Revival is about more of Him in everything. We’ll touch on what revival really means, why God’s...

The following audio we recorded at Open Space Event that occurred in July of 2024 in Manitoba.

On this episode of the Open Space Podcast, we talk about Grandma’s Story and one of the most well-known moments in the Bible — Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. Just like her, we all look for meaning in different places, but Jesus offers something better: Himself. This conversation is all about slowing down, being honest about what we’re chasing, and seeing how Jesus brings real...
