Captivate Podcast

Jesus makes it very clear what the purpose and mission of his church is: to go and make disciples of all the nations. Yet, for a lot of us today, the process of making disciples can seem confusing and vague. However, In his final words before ascending back up to heaven, Jesus gives us the steps to become disciples that make disciples and welcome people into his family both here and in heaven.

I am fired up to be preaching on why community is so important in our lives. Sometimes life is so painful it leaves us paralyzed spiritually, emotionally, mentally, etc. We all need people to take us to Jesus when we don't have the strength to make it on our own.

The Bible teaches us that the devil talks a lot, and when he talks, he lies. Lying is "his is his native language," Jesus says in John 8. When we believe these lies it can ruin our life, and I am excited to expose some prominent and popular ones this weekend in a message I am calling "Lies Leaders Listen To."  Connect with us on Social: Instagram.com/captivatechurchsd Next Steps: linktr.ee/captiva...

This Sunday we dive into a heavy topic that has caught our nation and church by storm: Deconstruction. Is there a clear definition for it? Does scripture warn us about it? Can it also be a good practice in our spiritual lives? The answer to all of these questions is "yes," and I am very excited to jump into it with you this weekend in a message I am calling "Dealing With Deconstruction."  Connect...

As we wrap up the series "This Verse Changed My Life" I am going to share some scripture that hasn't just changed my life 5 years ago or will change my life in the future, but is changing my life right here today. The truth is, taking a break is a good thing to do, but I also took a break because I've been very tired. And I haven't just been tired on the outside, but tired on the inside. What do w...

Although King Hezekiah was a man after God’s heart, he still experienced his fair share of trials, and was broken in his own ways. His story shows us that even in difficult circumstances, prayer has the power to unlock God’s blessing and re-shape our experiences.

If you have been in church for any amount of time, you have heard of the Holy Spirit and may know Him in theory, but a better question might be, “Do you know Him personally?” The Bible shows us the dangers of not clearly defining and understanding our relationship with the Holy Spirit, and we unpack that together this week as we look at the story of Simon The Magician in Acts 8. Commit to End Spir...

Often when we think of the power of the Holy Spirit, we think of healings and miracles. This has begged the question from many: Does God still heal? We believe we serve a God who still heals and we are excited to unpack what that often looks like in our lives. 

We learn in scripture that honor is truly one of the love languages of God, but it is being lost in our world. The Bible teaches us that when we honor others we honor God, which is why honor can unlock God's blessings in our lives.
