A Fresh Wind Midweek

Send us Fan Mail Your faith can be real and still feel out of sync. That’s why we love the “In The Shop” picture: sometimes you don’t need a brand-new life, you need a spiritual tune-up. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim close the series by shifting from the big idea to the daily practices that actually keep Jesus first, not just on Sunday but in the pressure of work, family, and nonstop schedules. We di...

Send us Fan Mail Drift doesn’t usually start with rebellion. It starts with distraction. One day your mind is more formed by business news, headlines, and endless scrolling than by the voice of God, and you don’t even notice until the warning lights come on. Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim talk honestly about how that happens, why we can’t stay “neutral,” and how spiritual disciplines act like a simple...

Send us Fan Mail Ready to breathe again? We’re putting the car in the shop before Easter to realign what matters most: making Jesus our first love and clearing the clogged drain of unforgiveness that keeps peace, prayer, and joy from flowing. With honest stories, practical steps, and straight talk from scripture, we unpack why forgiveness is commanded, how reconciliation works when both parties en...

Send us Fan Mail We run a spiritual diagnostic before Easter, asking what truly reigns in our hearts and why obedience stops feeling like loss when the kingdom becomes our supreme value.

Send us Fan Mail What if your life had nothing to hide—no low-grade guilt, no secret compromises, no dread of being found out? Pastor Ryan and Pastor Tim map a clear path toward that kind of freedom by connecting faith, obedience, and righteousness as one living rhythm: say yes to Jesus and your heart, habits, and horizon begin to change. This isn’t about earning salvation; it’s about receiving th...

Send us Fan Mail We share why Marvel focuses on people whose lives made heaven pause and how faith as allegiance reshapes obedience, church, and daily choices. From the centurion to Noah, we trace long obedience, serving with Jesus’ presence, and anchoring our yes in grace. • faith defined as allegiance under Jesus’ authority • humility of outsiders who amazed Jesus • pushing back against church c...

Send us Fan Mail This month on the Blue Chair Podcast, Pastor Jared, Charles Magyar and our Special Guest discuss why the birth announcement went to shepherds, how identity shifts after meeting Jesus, and why God’s will often feels unlike home. We share stories of growth in messy seasons, practical ways to make room for God, and how grace shows up in daily lines and long nights. • shepherds as fir...

Send us Fan Mail Loneliness can feel loud during the holidays, even when the room is full. We start with the laughter of a kids’ Christmas program and move into the deeper ache so many carry—feeling overlooked, crowded by responsibilities, and unsure how to find our way back to Jesus. The good news is simple and strong: you don’t have to clean the room before you open the door. Confession is the h...

Send us Fan Mail The holidays promise warmth and wonder, yet many of us carry a quiet ache: we want to feel at home again. Not the picture-perfect living room, but a deeper rest where we’re known, loved, and not performing. We dive into that longing and trace it through the first Christmas, where Mary and Joseph faced social pressure, a grueling journey, and a delivery room no one would choose—yet...

Send us Fan Mail We close our Grow series by naming five poisons that stunt spiritual growth—malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander—and show simple steps to uproot them. God’s discipline is grace that frees us to love life, guard unity, and practice our true identity in Christ. • Peter’s five growth-killers and why they spread • God’s discipline as love and invitation to freedom • Growth as...

Send us Fan Mail Envy doesn’t usually look like a crisis. It hides in the small stuff: a neighbor’s upgrade, a coworker’s win, a friend’s announcement that turns your heart from celebration to comparison. We shine a light on those quiet moments and offer a clear, practical way to recognize envy’s grip before it steals your joy, peace, and gratitude. With real stories, holiday context, and plenty o...

Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest barrier to spiritual growth isn’t your schedule, your past, or your circumstances—but the poison you’ve learned to live with? We take a hard, hopeful look at Peter’s challenging list and zoom in on two silent killers: deceit, the lie you live, and hypocrisy, the mask you wear. From teen years spent curating personas to adult lives split between performance and...

Send us Fan Mail Growth doesn’t stall because we lack Bible plans or good intentions. It stalls because we carry hidden baggage that chokes the very roots we’re trying to nurture. We kick off our Grow series by naming one of the most overlooked blockers in the New Testament lists: malice. Not mere anger—malice is the quiet wish for someone else to hurt. It hides in our daydreams of payback, in the...

Send us Fan Mail Join Pastors Tim and Ryan as they unpack the early church’s practice of renunciation—turning from darkness and pledging loyalty to Christ—and explain why reclaiming that moment clarifies what baptism means. Baptism is a declaration of war so we dive into the New Testament’s clearest field manual on spiritual warfare: Ephesians 6. Piece by piece, we explore the armor of God with pr...

Send us Fan Mail We wrestle with why glory belongs to God alone and how that truth frees us from chasing applause. From sanctification to service, we show how peace and joy arrive as byproducts when Christ stays first and the adjectives fall away. • resting salvation in Christ alone • sanctification as God’s work in us • merit culture versus grace culture • algorithms and the pull toward self • tu...

Send us Fan Mail We recap a powerful women’s conference marked by prayer, participation, and connection, then move into Reformation Roots with a practical look at grace alone, faith alone, and Christ alone.

Send us Fan Mail We walk through a simple, faithful way to interpret Scripture—moving from the original audience to our lives—using Joshua 1 as our guide.

Send us Fan Mail What if God’s will isn’t a maze to solve but a way to walk today? We sit down after wrapping our “God, Just Tell Us” series and make a simple case that might change how you make decisions: the just live by faith. Not flawless plans. Not airtight certainty. Faith.
