Canopy Church Podcast

As we begin our new series, Becoming the Church, Bryan & Shayla invite us to lean in as we explore the letter of 1st Corinthians. 

We begin a new series through 1st Corinthians: Becoming the Church; in which we will explore how God forms a holy people not by removing them from the mess, but by bringing the cross, the Spirit, and resurrection into the middle of it. 1st Corinthians 1:1-9 with Bryan Rouanzoin

Mark 2 with Bryan Rouanzoin  Sabbath teaches us to feast -- to truly delight in all God has provided. We remind ourselves of God's abundance in a world of scarcity. 

Matthew 11 with Bill Dogterom This week Bill teaches on the ways embracing Sabbath works its way into the rest of our lives -- its changes how we keep time, how we release control, and how we learn to trust God more wholly.

Shayla has a conversation with a member of the Canopy Church community, Katie, on the experience of practicing sabbath. They touch on their journey to practicing sabbath, the challenges that have emerged, and the things they are learning along the way from God! 

This week Pastor Bill Dogterom teaches on learning to rest which requires surrender and trust. Matthew 11:28-30 & Psalm 23

Sabbath is more than a day off. It is a weekly invitation to reorder our lives around the presence, goodness, and provision of God. In a world shaped by hurry, productivity, and endless striving, Sabbath teaches us another way. We begin by ceasing—stopping our work, our anxiety, and our need to prove ourselves. We learn to rest—receiving God’s gift of renewal for our bodies, minds, and souls. We e...

At the end of our 16-week long series, we pause to look back and tell stories of what God has done in us. 

Philippians 2:12-13 & Timothy 4:7 with Bill Dogterom

This week, the Canopy staff have a dialogue around the practice of simplicity. They touch on how simplicity confronts our desire to control and our patterns of worry. The invitation of Jesus reminds us to slow down and to become available and attentive to His presence.

Matthew 6:19–34 with Bryan Rouanzoin

This week, we lean into the practice of silence together! Join us for a guided 10 minutes of stillness.

Mark 1:32-38, Matthew 14:13-14, Luke 5:15-16 with Bryan Rouanzoin

With Pastor Bill Dogterom

Matthew 6 & 7 with Bryan Rouanzoin What kind of life actually holds when everything else starts to fall apart? Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount and the witness of the early church, this teaching invites us beyond what is easy toward a way of life that can form us—and endure. 

Genesis 22:1-14 with Bethany Allen This week, Bethany Allen brings a word of encouragement and challenge from the life of Abraham where God asks him to sacrifice the very son that was promised to him. Are we the kind of people that will surrender our lives completely to God in obedience and faith? 

Ephesians 3:14-21 - 4:1-6 with Bryan Rouanzoin On the other side of Easter, we are reminded by the words of Paul that we cannot live out Resurrection Life alone -- we need a covenant community. We explore three visual metaphors that have been used throughout to church history to understand the role of the church: a river, a womb, and a hearth.

John 20:1-18 with Bryan Rouanzoin

This week in Third Space, we reflect on the tension that arises during Holy Week. The tension the disciples and people of Israel felt, and the tension we feel even now. Jesus has come -the Messiah is here- but his way of saving us is often not what we expect. 

Hosanna means "God save us." On Palm Sunday we explore the ways we long to be saved but how we often misunderstand the ways God wants to truly save us.
