Eagle Brook Church Podcast

Changed lives, healed marriages, broken addictions—God transforms any situation. He works through people like you and churches like Eagle Brook, who commit to reaching people no matter the cost.

Meeting people’s most basic needs can help break down barriers like poverty, oppression, and hopelessness. And often, this is the first step in helping them experience the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.

Being lost is a terrible feeling—you’re alone, scared, unsafe. But once you catch the first sight of your rescuer, something changes, and you know it’s going to be okay. Thank goodness we have a God like that, who stops at nothing to seek and save the ones he loves.

Parents know—raising kids to be happy + successful adults is a pretty heavy burden to bear. But what if parenting is more about inspiring kids to become who God created them to be instead of what the world expects them to be?

It hurts to get passed over in the dating game. You might wonder if you’ll ever have the relationship that you’ve hoped for. What if you decided to flip the script—could singleness teach you some life lessons that marriage never could?

Even the best marriages can start feeling a bit stale. It’s easy to drift away and look for something fresh and exciting. What happens when you fight the boredom, work through the conflict, and chase after your marriage again?

You probably didn’t say “you betcha” on your wedding day. But you did say, “I do.” And agreed to something along the lines of “for better or worse, till death do us part.” After vows are exchanged + the party is over, how do you build a marriage that’ll last?

After all of the Christmas celebrations wind down, it’s time for Eagle Brook Unplugged! Enjoy a worship set with Eagle Brook Music—where you’ll be reminded that no matter what this year has looked like, God is working to make all things new.

What plans have you made this year that were totally wrecked? Sometimes your expectations for the future collide with the reality of the present. The Christmas story brings a timely reminder that even when the unplanned turns your world upside down, God’s purpose will still shine through.

When you’re not at peace, you can tell—and so can others. Anger, stress, and anxiety start creeping into your life. Is peace possible, no matter what comes your way?

Oh, the things you’d do if you could call the shots. Just a little more influence and power would go a long way, right? Depends on what kind of power you’re looking for. What’s the difference between human power and having God’s power in your life?

It’s easy to get locked in on the daily stuff of life. There are things to do, people to see, kids (or pets!) to chase. But all the while, there’s this nagging sense that something’s missing. Where’s the purpose that can bring meaning to the daily grind?

Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. So does the story of this world. The “end” can feel unsettling. Or it can bring comfort in a less-than-perfect world, especially if one day it’ll mean an eternity spent with Jesus.

Meeting in church buildings isn’t always a reality. And yet, the church continues to grow, thrive, and be a beacon of light. Maybe something that seemed like an obstacle, God is using as an opportunity.

Raise your hand if you like to be in control. It’s okay, we’re all prone to it. There will always be situations you have no control over. And you can either stress out or surrender them to a God who’s always in control.

We have an obsession with being right and winning. So much so that we run the risk of losing relationships altogether. And yet, when we value loving over winning—we’ll find there’s much more that unites us.

It’s hard to see what racial unity can look like when we’re surrounded by division. But God has this big plan for the church—that every nation, tribe, people, and language would one day gather together. We haven’t always done a great job of this, but could we take another step forward today?

You scroll past an opposing view on Facebook and some feelings bubble up. Do you keep scrolling past or stop and fire back? It’s easy to love the people we agree with—but how do we live in unity when we’re on opposite sides of an issue?

If your screen time report included time spent with God—what would it tell you? One thing’s for sure, the more time you spend with Him, the lighter and freer you (and your future self) will feel.

You want to be generous. You pay it forward in the drive-thru and even throw some bills in the red bucket every holiday season. And it feels great! But what if you took spur-of-the-moment generosity and turned it into a planned way of life?

You’ve got moments of weakness. It’s what leads you to God, trusted friends, and can also tempt you to take shortcuts—trading long-term reward for immediate satisfaction.

We have lots of names for close friendships—thick as thieves, BFFs, two peas in a pod. The people we give these titles to matter. Especially when we consider another saying—you become the company you keep.

Sometimes our bad habits don’t really seem that bad. And good habits sound like a good idea, but they’re so hard to get going. So why go through the effort of trading sleeping in for working out? Or scrolling our phone for spending time with God?

Another reason we know Jesus is he who he claimed to be? Every life that's been completely transformed by encountering Him.

When we dig into history, we see a common thread—people uncovering a need, showing up, and becoming messengers of hope + healing. And so often, where this happens, followers of Jesus are the ones leading the way. What does this say about who Jesus is?
