Eagle Brook Church Podcast

Today's world and the culture we live in can be complicated. How do you engage with it in a healthy way without being caught up in it? We're convinced that God's plan for you is far better than what society has to offer—but it might require a shift in your priorities.

We all have things from our past that negatively affect our future—that's just life. And when some of those things were decisions made by family members before us, it can feel impossible to break free. But the choices you make now can start to undo those generational cycles and move your family toward a healthier future.

Marriage is amazing. And fun. And...really tough. That's all true. But over time, things can start to get a little more tough and a little less lovely. It's possible to build a marriage that lasts (and is fun!) no matter how long you've been together.

If we're honest, we don't know how to manage the ever-changing influence of technology in our own lives, much less the lives of our family members. Privacy, what? Influencers, who? Harmful content…seriously? If you’re ready to take back your family from the grips of technology, godly wisdom is the name of the game.

You probably know what Christmas is about. You've heard about the angels, shepherds, Mary, and Joseph…but do you know the “why” behind it? Why did Jesus come to earth as a baby—and how does that impact your life now? It's not just a celebration of what happened once upon a time—it's an invitation into new life today and every day because of Jesus.

We've all heard about the importance of forgiveness. But to forgive and forget? Sometimes, that just feels impossible. You might be surprised at what the Bible has to say about it—and at how freeing forgiveness can truly be.

Sometimes, holding onto the things you knew can hold you back from something even better. Sure, what’s tried and true feels comfortable and safe, but the hope of the future God has for you? That's worth letting go for.

So you're a people-pleaser. And while your intentions are good, you probably agree—it's holding you back. Don't miss out on the life God has for you by prioritizing other people's opinions. God values you deeply—imperfections and all.

Your past mistakes are not your forever future—even if it feels that way sometimes. Maybe it's cliché, but no regret is too big for God's grace. So that thing hanging over you? It's time to leave it behind.

Bad decisions and you? Never! Kidding, we've all made decisions and lived in ways we wish we could take back. But since you can't go back in time, maybe the best way forward is letting go of the things you used to do and the way you used to be.

God continues to stir our hearts to go; to keep reaching more people for Christ. Vision Weekend 2023 is all about celebrating where we’ve been and sharing where we feel God is leading us next—and how you can be part of it.

There's no cure-all for anxiety, but you do have a fighting chance. Don't sit back and let anxiety rule your world. Go on the offensive—anchor into   biblical principles and fight back.

You know what's not working for you? Your anxiety. Actually, it's more than likely working against you. But with God’s help, you have the power to flip the script and ease the grip of anxiety in your life.

When life gets tough and God feels far away, it can be really hard to praise him for his goodness. But what if your joy wasn't dependent on your circumstances...but on your focus? Keep your eyes on Jesus, and joy and peace can be found—even when life feels empty.

Patience is a virtue, they say. Good things come to those who wait. But what if waiting feels almost unbearable? God's timing is best, just ask Habakkuk. But it's up to us how we wait in the meantime.

Why does a good God let bad things happen? It's a question that's been around forever, and even the Old Testament Prophet Habakkuk wrestled with it. But here's the deal: nobody gets to opt out of tough times. So, how do we keep our hope alive when things get difficult?

When you were a kid, you couldn't wait to become an adult. But when adulthood hit, you found out—it's not a piece of cake. And let's be real, handling money is the heavyweight champion of tough tasks. What could godly wisdom do for you and your finances? It might just be the "miracle" you need.

Maybe the greatest miracle you could ever ask for is to get your faith back. You've been around too long, seen too much—and yet, God's still tugging on your heart. Don't ignore him. Come and see what finding faith could look like.

You ever been through something that hurts so bad you're like, "I need a miracle to fix this"? You keep pushing through, but there's not much that can heal that kind of pain. Even if you don't know how to deal with it yourself, miracles happen—whether it's emotional, relational, or even spiritual—and even that hurt can heal with God’s help.

If you've ever wondered: "Why am I here?"—you're definitely not alone. The search for purpose is universal, and it can feel like it would take a miracle to find yours. But God created you for a reason—you are the only person who can step into the calling that's meant for you.

This one's about money. "Of course, a big church wants to talk about money," right? But you can't deny the relevance. Money is a major part of all of our lives—how we make it, how we save it, how we spend it. It's a sensitive topic, but the Bible talks a lot about money, so we're talking about it, too.

When it comes to reaching people for Jesus, there's no finish line. There's no point where our church will say "we've made it" or "we're too big." Because there will always be one more person, and that person matters to God—so they matter to us.

Our mission? We are empowered by God to reach others for Christ. And we take that seriously. So when you wonder…is this church all about the show? Of course not. But the "show" can be an incredible tool to make new people feel comfortable enough to engage with God.

Did you know your mind has needs? And more than just an occasional brain-break. It also needs ongoing support, attention, and intention. And if your mind is weary and your thoughts feel out of control—we can bet your soul is weary, too.

In the world today, what feels good has become a god. And the immediate access to global, national, and personal news doesn’t do anyone’s soul any favors. So, what’s stealing God’s peace from your life, and how can you get it back?
