Pastors Pregame

We're wrapping up our 2 Timothy series and while we may be tempted to skip over these last few verses and all the hard-to-pronounce names, Lisa and Bruce discovered a wealth of wisdom packed in here. Paul shows us how to respond when people let us down.

We're focused on a passage of 2 Timothy that means a lot to Bruce as he nears the end of his tenure as senior pastor of Christ Fellowship. Like Paul, there's a charge he wants to give the church!

We're back in 2 Timothy this week. Lisa hits Bruce with some questions he wasn't ready for (but answered wisely anyway) such as is it right to call out modern-day false teachers by name? And can Americans really claim that we're persecuted when our Christian siblings in other parts of the world are losing their homes, livelihoods, and even their lives? You'll want to hear this...

In a special Mother's Day episode of the podcast, Lisa interviews Tamara Miller (Bruce's wife) and Melanie Hebert (Bruce's daughter) about growing up in the Miller clan and life in a pastor's family. They also share some of their best advice for Moms and grandparents. Even if you're not a mom, you'll hear something that will help you support a mom in your life.

We're continuing our 2 Timothy series. Rafe Wright joins Lisa to discuss Paul's warning against predators with false ideas who prey on the vulnerable. How can Christians stay aware in a world where anyone with an Internet connection can claim to speak for God?  

Bruce and Lisa are back to continue our series on 2 Timothy. How do you disagree agreeably? We'll get instructions from the Apostle Paul that will help us navigate conflict in the church.

Join special guest host Victoria Aguas as she interviews Pastor Jaime Gonzales in week 3 of our 2 Timothy series. They talk about the power of letters, the blessing of a good mentor, and the faithfulness of Jesus.

Near the end of his life the Apostle Paul was imprisoned and abandoned, yet he never wavered in his belief in the gospel. In our 2nd week of our 2nd Timothy series, Bruce and Lisa discuss how the gospel encourages us regardless of our circumstances and how we can encourage others.

We're kicking off our series on 2 Timothy. Lisa and Bruce discuss the context and what we can expect from Paul's most personal letter. We'll be challenged and encouraged as we dig in.

Easter is THIS Sunday! Lisa and Bruce talk about what's happening at Christ Fellowship this weekend and then preview the Easter message on the victorious joy that is ours because of Christ's death and resurrection.

Christ Fellowship is turning 27! Bruce shares some stories about the founding of the church and then looks forward to the future.

Most of us deal with some amount of anxiety. How can we deal with it? Lisa welcomes Jaime back this week to talk about how we can take our anxiety to God.

If God is for us, who can stand against us? No one. What can separate us from God's love? Nothing. Bruce and Lisa wrap up our Romans 8 series with some of the most encouraging verses in the whole Bible. Romans 8:31-39. 

I'm talking Romans 8 with Pastor Rafe Wright. We discuss our dealing with suffering, our relationship with the creation, and how we can pray. We also ponder whether we've misunderstood everybody's favorite verse, Romans 8:28?

Pastor Rafe Wright is joining Lisa to talk about Romans 8. What is the path to glory? What does it mean that we're adopted into God's family? How do we choose life over death? We talk about all this from Romans 8:12-17.

This week is all about our students! We'll hear from Pastors Jake Potter and Dani Martinez about the state of student ministries — how it's growing, the challenges it's facing, and why DNOW weekend is so important.

In our last episode for this years 21 Days of Prayer we talk about Jesus' final two I AM statements in John's Gospel. Is it offensive that he claims to be the way, the truth, and the life? And how do we remain in Jesus as the true vine? Bruce and Lisa discuss.

This was a time led by Pam and Corey Allen when they had an informal fireside chat with our elders and their wives. The Allans lead our re|engage marriage ministry, and Dr. Corey Allan is an author, runs a marriage ministry, and hosts the “Sexy Marriage” podcast.

It's week 1 of 21 Days of Prayer and we're excited to see what God will do! Bruce and Lisa share some of the creative ways people are doing 21 Days at home and then discuss the focus of our series, the I AM statements in John. Jesus says he is the bread of life and the light of the world. We talk about what that and what Jesus means by eternal life. All that in this episode!

We're starting off the New Year with our annual 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. This time, we're encouraging people to worship God every day for 21 days in their homes. How can you do that? We'll talk about the whos, hows, whens and whats in this episode.

Christmas is a few days away! This week Bruce and Lisa are joined by special guest Shelley Frew, and we talk about Christmas traditions and how Christmas changes as your family does, but how we can still keep our focus on Jesus.

The Christmas season is in full swing. Bruce and Lisa talk about surviving the Christmas chaos and finding Jesus in the midst of it all. It's week 3 of Advent, and we're focusing on the Shepherds. How can we be like them?

It's the Christmas season! Lisa, Bruce, and guest Amanda Kruse are talking about Advent. How to celebrate it at home, and why we start Advent by discussing the prophets. Get a copy of Christ Fellowship's Advent guide: Advent At-Home Guide .

It's Thanksgiving week! Some of Christ Fellowship's staff and elders stop by to share what they're thankful for this year and how God is revealing himself to them. You'll be amazed by the common threads that run through their responses.
