The Overflow Podcast

Whol-i-ness is refined in every place we put our trust in our Redeemer, not our reforms. Humanity has struggled since the beginning with the belief that “if we could just get fill-in-the-blank, then we’d finally be happy and whole.” It has led so many into a contractual relationship with God, believing if we just follow His rules enough, He will bless the life we’re building on our own terms. In t...

Wholeness is our universal human hunger. Whether or not we know it, 100% of creation is hungering full tilt with desires that can only ever be met in Jesus. In this message, Pastor Chuck dispels myths about “not being spiritual enough” and equips us to take the next step in the long road of walking whole and holy!  

Us being “holy” (set apart for a life for God) comes as the byproduct of us being whole. Holiness is the fruit of Wholeness. In this message, Pastor Chuck dispels some myths about holiness that keep us needlessly caught on a hamster wheel, trying to run where grace already brought us. He also shares about the JOY of Spirit-filled fasting that walks with our Father on the path of the wholeness that...

The new series, Christmas at Overflow, kicks off today. We are being called to believe in four key truths: that God is for us, he is with us, he is in us, and he moves through us.  What is possible in the kingdom of God when we believe these truths? There is an ongoing effect of transformation in us!    In this first message of a 6-part series, Pastor Erin asks us, if you believe God is for you, t...

Have you ever had anything stolen from you? Have you ever lost something because of your own inattention or negligence? Jesus said there is a thief who longs to steal, kill, and destroy, but that He came to give us LIFE! In this message, Pastor Chris shares where Jesus is in the midst of all that feels stolen, and offers four powerful activations about how we can join Jesus on the road of abundant...

We live in an age of “exile, ” having seen SO much of God’s goodness, yet desperately awaiting our King’s return and our forever home with Him. How do we make sense of these days we are in — and how do we play our part? In this message, Pastor Chuck calls us to make much of our moments, to choose holiness, and to cling to hope!

"Grief is as much a part of the human experience as love. In fact, in a broken world, grief is often the PRICE of love.” In this message, we look to the thread Jesus has woven through His story to see a life-changing lens of what He is up to in the midst of our grief and why it is so important we stop resenting the places He is renovating so we will be able to join Him in loving completely and to...

It can be so easy to get tunnel vision and find ourselves following patterns and rhythms for our lives that are popular, yet empty, and which ultimately distance us from our God and the life He intends us to live WITH Him! In this message, Pastor Len calls sons and daughters back to focus our hearts upon our first love and to respond with passion and clarity wherever He is inviting us to join Him...

As we continue our series on Prophets and Losses, we look closely at propet Hosea and his marriage to Gomer, who was a prostitute. It's an illustration which ultimately reveals God's renewed vow to love Israel even in her unfaithfulness. This Old Testament story now compels us, by the Gospel of Jesus, to see this narrative from a deeper perspective. And to ask two questions: Like Hosea, am I willi...

As the successor of Israel’s most successful prophet, Elisha had lots of reasons for striving, hesitancy, or living stuck ‘in his head.’ Yet, he experienced a ‘double portion’ of his mentor’s anointing. How? In this message, we look at how we gain our lives by losing them in surrender, spirit-filled confidence, and radical commission. Come and hear how YOUR unique calling awaits you to follow in t...

In this final message of the En(d)titlement series, Pastor Chuck shares practical ways to exalt the promises of God above our ever-changing feelings and to establish regular rhythms that steward the health of our souls and lead us to lifestyles of thankfulness and joy! 

In a recent poll, 86% of Americans reported being unhappy with the direction of their lives. They are frustrated with their jobs, their marriages, their health, their finances…and for many, they are frustrated with the God that was supposed to make life somehow ‘better.’ We are the most advanced and privileged society in the history of human civilization — why are most struggling so greatly? Is th...

Many days it seems we live in a world of 7.5 billion self-proclaimed experts who walk in polarized — and increasingly segmented — social groups convinced they alone have the answers the world needs. “Knowledge is power,” we say. And often, we use that “knowledge” to divide and conquer. But when Jesus wanted to define greatness, He took a toddler in His arms and told us we need to rediscover the wo...

"Common Unity" was the unique response of God when asked, "What are You saying to Your people?" The Church has always been called to be the standard for unity. But have we let go of that responsibility as of late? We must be a people willing to be an extension of the love and heart of God to the lost and found. The only thing that binds a free people together is love. Pastor Caleb's message is bas...

There is a vast difference between “signaling” virtue toward a world that is hurting and in need and a lifestyle of self-emptying love that sacrifices to love our literal neighbor as if they were us! In this message, Pastor Chuck cuts through the deceptive allure of "virtue signaling" to invite all of us to step into the substance of the sustained presence of Jesus’ love on the earth that brings t...

We live in a world that is offended. Boycotting. Publicly Denouncing. Cancelling. Everywhere we look, there seem to be more labels, more divisions, more causes we must rally behind and others we must vilify…or else. But what if there’s another way? What if instead of “taking offense” we could learn how to “play on offense” as the Church of the Living God and release healing, blessing, and transfor...

There are two mindsets that are opposed to who God created us to be that seem like polar opposites, but are really just opposite sides of the same coin: Pride and Entitlement. In this message, Pastor Chuck shares how the enemy’s scheme is for a self-centered life obsessed with “ME:” the good or bad I “deserve.” Hear what Jesus came to do about it and how He is inviting YOU to join Him in uprooting...

Psalm 23 tells us that God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies. Sometimes the enemy comes in uninvited. Sometimes we are the ones who invite him with our sin. In this episode, Pastor Erin invites Jon and Lisa to tell their miraculous story of reconciliation and hope that took them from divorce proceedings to vow renewal in just four months, because they feasted on Jesus! 

We all love an unbelievable story because we are wired to believe. But the thought that is dominating our culture is suspicion. That’s ‘sus’ as the kids say. Peter would've been one that struggled with belief too. But Jesus kept inviting him to believe again and again. And he's inviting us to do the same. Don't stop believin' that God is personal. God speaks. God is powerful.  

In this message, Pastor Chuck shares the masks he used to hide behind as a kid to project the right image, to protect himself from heartbreak, to numb the pain, and to tirelessly climb ladders to finally ‘become’ enough. He shares the pain, toil, and ultimate failures of this path…and how again and again in his story, Jesus has broken through to “save” him and lead him: into his real identity and...
