Clemson Foothills Podcast

This can all be summed up in one word...Humility...simple concept but not easy. Follow along as Brent takes us through the why and how of discipleship in Jesus

The Gospel...over and over and over. It's the lens that Paul views everything through. He derived power, purpose and identity from the Gospel. Unfortunately in our day, the Gospel has been boiled down to doctrinal information alone. We think if we know the information we'll be OK. This is not Paul's reality or Jesus's teaching.

We're heading to Phillippi! Paul's still in prison as he pens this letter, but be prepared as usual, to be challenged, encouraged and inspired by these Spirit filled words.

Finally...Paul wraps up Ephesians with a bang. Be strengthened...we're in a cosmic battle...pray always. Simple enough, but will we be a people who live this out?

Paul has settled into ground zero when it comes to living out our new identity...the household. What we do behind our front doors says more about who we are than anything we do in public. Husbands, wives, children, parents, household slaves and masters. There is no stone unturned.

Join Ben as he guides us into Paul's teachings about parents, kids, obedience and exasperation. The Kingdom ways of family are challenging, counter cultural and ultimately life giving...get ready to dig in!

Submission to each other, wives and husbands? Oh my...marriage as a means to show the world about God's love and the church! Marriages that reflect and radically proclaim God's grace and love? Lets go!!

Imitate the Father AS DEARLY LOVED children...Here we go, Paul is really leaning into what kingdom living should look like and what it shouldn't look like. Jesus has not come to christianize disobedience but to give us the true light to walk in.

Paul calls the Ephesian christians (and us!) to action. The church and the. world are not the same. Get rid of the old ways, live out the new creation life, specifically in how sin is dealt with and how we talk to and about people. It's simple but not easy....

The church gifted in order to give gifts...Christ the King, the divine warrior...mending broken bones there all packed into this next section of Ephesians 4

Therefore...it's a big word with tons of meaning. Everything Paul has written tot eh Ephesians previously was meant to slingshot them into a kingdom kind of life. How? Paul starts outlining the process right here!

March 22, 2026 Steve takes us through the end of chapter 3. Paul prays that we would know the unknowable, be filled beyond capacity to grasp the immeasurable. Whew! God is able to do MORE than we ask or imagine...but how does this truth guide us in life?

March 15, 2026 Church isn't a place we go...it's a community with a COSMIC calling. How does the church speak into the unseen realm? Have a listen and find out.

King Jesus had an incredible plan, it wasn't to save us from the world but for the world. He has this incredible idea that He will dwell in us as His temple and that collectively we would be built together as a multitude of temples...a city on a hill...the light of the world.

Our human-ness was ruined by sin. God is mighty and merciful and took our ruined selves and restored our humanity to its original place, redeemed and unified with the Father. Knowing the bad news can help us embrace the good news.

Jesus loves His church! After Paul drives home how God has filled the church with every spiritual blessing, he shares a prayer he's praying and it's a BIG prayer. Ultimately He asks that the church understand the immeasurable power of God, but keep in mind the power of God was demonstrated most vividly in a quiet, early morning tomb. So easy to miss if we aren't aware.

Here we go! Paul's letter to the Ephesians. What's he gonna talk about? Unity? Yep, but not just for unity's sake, but because our Father has lavished on us everything we need...everything...in abundance. He washed us, lives in us and sends us to join Him in his work in our world.

January 18, 2026 Paul finishes out with his familiar anthem of boosting in the Crucified King. He lives a crucified life, the world has been crucified to him and he to the world. We're gonna dig into holiness and what it means to live a crucified life.

December 14, 2025

November 30, 2025 Walking with and keeping in step with the Spirit of God. We're definitely works in progress, but oftentimes can be plagued with passivity and spiritual laziness. Paul describes the battle within each of us between the natural inclinations of our own selves and the Spirit of God.

November 23, 2025 Unity, Unity, Unity...Paul said it, he means it and he's riled up at those who are creating a disturbance in the region of Galatia. Paul calls the faithful to reject the old way of circumcision and embrace a crucified life or as he says, a life of "faith expressed in love"

November 9, 2025 Paul is astonished, amazed and frustrated with the Galatian disciples. Here in chapter 3 he's not giving us a salvation doctrine as many believe, instead he is calling for unity of the disciples, jews, greeks, slave, free, men and women total unity so the world will know...

November 2, 2025 Here we go! Back at it and jumping into Galatians. Paul is all about the gift of God, the crucified messiah and living a cross shaped life. Is he obsessed? Is he over the top? Is he the exception? Not if we follow a crucified and resurrected King. This is normal...dying to self, living for our King

October 26, 2025 "Follow me and I will Make you fishers of men"...Jesus said it and he meant it. When we're saturated in the gospel, unconditionally following Him together in community something powerful happens. We join with Him to walk with others in becoming new creations in HIs Kingdom. It's not a church growth strategy its the supernatural rescue plan for a lost world

October 19, 2025 "Living together in a way that evokes the glad song of Psalm 133 is one of the great and arduous tasks before Christ's people. Nothing requires more attention and energy. It is easier to do almost anything else" -Eugene Peterson
