FOUNDRYcast

These last few weeks we have been going through the marks of a movement of eternal consequence. We've been using the book of Acts to have these conversations because it gives us a peek into the original movement of Jesus.  This week Chad shares about graciousness, and how it can either provide a weak life or a fulfilled life. 

In this second message series on the Marks of a Movement, Chad shares from Acts 2 about what happens when we expect God to move and shift our boundaries of what we believe to be possible. 

Chad kicks off a series on the marks of a movement from the book of Acts. In this first message we talk about the biblical virtue of waiting on God. 

Chad wraps up his final message in our series on the 7 churches in Revelation. The big question is all about discerning if you have a casual relationship or fulfilling relationship with Jesus. (hint: It's all about trust). 

Do things seem a little off right now? Maybe it's because they are! Join us as we worship together, pray for our schools as they reopen and talk about what it means to have spiritual high ground in the midst of tough and trying circumstances.

How do we treat the difference between fake and real? Fake stuff might look great at first, but falls apart quickly. This week Chad leads us through Revelation 2:18 -29 and shares why understanding what discipling our heart looks like, and why we need to be aware of a knowledge overload.

We are jumping back into Revelation this week with a message about the church of Pergamum. 

We took a week break from our series on the 7 church in Revelation. Chad shares from the book of Genesis about realizing the power of our original call in life. 

What does life look like when pressure is all around us? Chad shares a message from Revelation 2 about what it looks like to stay spiritual strong and resilient. 

As we journey into the first church in Revelation, we talk about what it means to lose yourself while living in your strengths. For the church in Ephesus, this quest to be right in thought (orthodoxy) quickly overran the call to be right in practice (orthopraxy).  Revelation 2:1-7

So what is the role of time?  As Chad kicks off our series from the first three chapters of Revelation, we begin with a conversation understanding the difference between human time and God's reality. 

We are excited to start bringing you some new conversations from around our church community! We want this space to be about the culture of Jesus is Big Enough and the stories that come from following that vision of life.  In this first episode back, the staff sits together and helps everyone else get to know Madeline Ringwald, our new director of Worship Arts. Jack and Chad also have a conversati...

We are kicking off our new series "According to His Purposes". It's all about finding clarity in the presence of God. Chad shares how the presence of God provides clarity and what a holy vs. broken application of the presence looks like. 

Psalm 13 Mark 14:34-36 Join Chad for a a conversation as he digs into the biblical idea of lament and why we all need to understand it. 

Brett Pickering, a long time member and leader, shares a message about worship as action. 

Over the last month at Foundry we have been having conversations on Sunday morning about what it means to follow Jesus in the 21st century. So far, we have focused our time together on a few movements. (click the link to hear the messages and read the previews) Our culture doesn't create followers. It creates apathy. Following creates followers . Mission is determined by our ability to create foll...

For the past two weeks we have been having a conversation on Sunday morning about what it means to be a 21st Century follower of Jesus. We've talked about how the greatest threat to faith isn't unbelief, but apathy. I shared about research coining the term "Moral Therapeutic Deism" as a way of religious life and how that waters down what we call faith. We've talked about a fantastic analogy called...

Have you ever heard the marketing term "over-built"? It's a term used to convince people that is item of question is one that has been reinforced, engineered to be long-lasting, and is entirely sufficient for the task at hand. In some ways, just using the term is letting folks know that this isn't just some utilitarian fashion, but the item is built to be used. It isn't a vanity belonging, but one...

This year, Foundry has two different Ash Wednesday service options. One is at noon at Flying Tiger Brewery, with a short lunch afterwards.

We also talk about what it means to explain t...
