Embrace Podcast

We all want connection, don't we? But the truth is, a lot of us are lonelier than we've ever been despite the constant "connection" we have through things like social media and our smart phones. What does true connection look like? It's actually pretty simple: we need face to face friends, real friends, sticky friends, and fire pit friends. But these types of friendships d...

Comparison and the discontent it brings have been around for centuries (just take a look at the Israelites if you need an example!). But our addiction to social media has thrown gasoline on the fire of comparison. Because of this comparison we're constantly falling into discontment—discontentment that romanticizes the past, resents today, and forfeits our future. How do we break this cycle? T...

We all have to deal with hard feelings, don't we? Feelings of stress, pain, sadness—sometimes it feels like too much. When things start to get overwhelming, we often try to numb ourselves out, whether that's through mindless scrolling on our phones, shopping, drinking too much, obsessive cleaning, or whatever. But while numbing may work for things like getting a cavity, numbing doesn&apo...

We're diving into a brand-new series called You Tube Fails & Rabbit Trails and Adam talks through the positive side of failure.

We all love to watch fail video after fail video on YouTube, right? I mean, who doesn't, they're pretty hilarious! But are we taking this habit of laughing at other people's failures, of commenting on their worst moments, too far? In the story of the Good Samaritan we're told about three men who had the choice whether or not to help someone who was in the midst of failure. Whic...

As a church, we were built on the vision of reaching the next person for Jesus, but what does that really mean? This week we’re looking at the first two parts of our mission statement: Encounter and Compassion, and how these two sometimes messy words take shape in the real lives of the people who make up Embrace.

The Holy Spirit has the incredible power to empower and guide us in our lives, but in order to let him do that work in us we have to give him control. How? By being indifferent to the interference of the world and surrendering the desires of our flesh. It's easier said than done, but the Holy Spirit didn't come to be a consultant in our lives, he has come to take control. Will you give h...

In the Holy Spirit, Jesus sent us an advocate to both convict and comfort us. Conviction often seems harsh, doesn't it? The Holy Spirit will convict us of things that need to change in our lives, but he does it for our good, to draw us closer to Jesus. In the midst of that conviction is also the Spirit's comforting power. He's the one who is able to comfort us in every season of our...

We get it, the whole God in three parts thing is kind of hard to wrap our brains around. But the Holy Spirit doesn’t have to be a big mysterious concept! In fact, the Holy Spirit is here to help make the big mysterious parts of life clear to us—he’s our helper, the Spirit of God with us and in us. In this message we break down who The Holy Spirit is, what the Spirit does in our hearts, and how the...

We live in a broken world today, but just because things are broken doesn't mean they can't be made whole. Jesus has the power to reclaim us—to show us the way things could be—the potential and hope for our relationship with creation, others, ourselves, and God. Reclaim means we no longer belong to the brokenness, we belong to Jesus, and that's one of the most amazing parts of this...

There's a pattern to our prayers, and this pattern is maybe the most evident in The Lord's Prayer. Sure, a lot of us have heard this prayer before, but does it still matter today? How can phrases like "who art in heaven" and "thy kingdom come" change us? The Lord's Prayer is not just any pattern, instead it's a pattern that puts our hearts, minds, and soul i...

At the beginning of creation everything was perfect, but all too soon we as humans broke that perfection, resulting in the way things are today. The thing is, we know we're broken, so we try desperately to fix that brokenness, often starting with ourselves, then turning to other people, and finally looking to the world to fix us. But none of those things can fix our brokenness, only Jesus can...
