Family Life Christian Center Podcast

When you look at the Fivefold Graces, our Spiritual Gifts, our personalities, opinions, and currently held beliefs, it's clear to see that we are all so so incredibly different. However, different as we are, we are all united into a single family, a single cause, under a single savior. It is good and right that we celebrate and honor our differences but it is also CRITICAL that we never forget the...

Teachers develop wisdom and understanding in the body of Christ. They are dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of God and His Word, living out those principles, and sharing them with the rest of the body. Teachers are investigators, explorers, practicians, and gold-miners. Teachers find diamonds where others see dirt. They dig until they discover the hidden treasures within each scripture. They a...

Shepherds care for their sheep. They comfort, protect, guide, and feed. They bring people together and they reduce the inevitable friction that arises as different kinds of people all share space under one roof. Shepherds carry a Christlike love for people that is powerful and personal. But shepherds alone cannot run a church, nor fulfill Jesus' calling for the church.  Joe & Andrew Barlo...

Motherhood is hard but there are opportunities for great joy amidst the challenges. Susan Barrow describes some truly unique and wildly entertaining ways to offset the pains and difficulties of raising kids. Parenting should be done from the overflow of joy in your heart. Let's learn how together.

"Surrender is a prerequisite for thriving." Katie Tabisz, mother of 3 with a Masters Degree in Social Work, brings to us a message about the necessary surrender that comes with Motherhood. She also gives us practical steps to become Positioned, Purposed, Present, and Peaceful.

Did you know that you have the ability to hear God's voice? God is always speaking even when we are not listening. God has been speaking since the beginning of time and He strongly desires that we would hear Him. After all, how can you have a strong relationship with someone that you never talk to? Learn about the foundations of the prophetic and hearing the voice of God in this message by Natalie...

Apostles are "sent ones" tasked with building and organizing heavenly systems and structures. They carry forward the same work Jesus began by getting heavenly instructions and assignments that rally and activate other believers towards a specific goal or mission. As Envoys, they also carry with them the power, authority and full legal permission to demonstrate both Christ and his Kingdom to the wo...

Jesus changed everything. Interestingly enough, the people that got wrecked the most by the Gospel were the "Good People," the self-righteous, the religious superstars, and the most "perfect" people. Paul was the president of the Do-It-Yourself club, the most perfect religious example according to the law, but after meeting Jesus, he regarded his spotless history, his trophies, his accolades, and...

The path of Spiritual Maturity is much like normal growth. We begin as Spiritual Newborns the day that we are saved. From there we move to Spiritual Toddlers, eventually Spiritual Teens, then Spiritual Adults, then into Spiritual Mothers and Fathers, then into Spiritual Grandmothers and Grandfathers. We know we are a Spiritual Mother or Father when we are capable of the reproduction of our faith....

Ephesians 4 7-16 tells us that Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Shepherds, and Evangelists all carry a portion of the grace that Jesus Christ has given to His church. Therefore, the only way we can experience the fullness of Jesus Christ here on earth is when a church honors and expresses these five different colors of grace, woven together into a "many-colored tapestry of grace (1 Peter 4:10 TPT)."...

You have been made in the image of God. You can think His thoughts, feel His feelings, and act like He acts. The believer's challenge is learning how to agree with this reality and to be transformed more and more into His image. Connect with us www. FamilyLife.cc

Joy is a choice, not a feeling. Joy depends 0% on what's happening outside of us and it depends 100% on what is happening INSIDE of us. Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit so as we become more in tune with the Holy Spirit, Joy becomes a natural byproduct of His presence within us. Join us as Danny Hochstatter brings the JOY this Sunday! Connect with us at www. FamilyLife.cc

Peace is not circumstantial. It is a reality that is made available to believers through the Holy Spirit. So how can we access God's peace when we are tossed about by the storms of life? Craig Miller unpacks this topic for us today.

Life is tough. No way around it. But what if the trials of this life is where we are shaped and molded into the thing God has always desired us to be? What if there is hope to be found in our suffering because God is in the fire with us. Danny Hochstatter expands this idea for us today.   Connect with us at www.familylife.cc

"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." - James 5:16. How do we move from obligatory, weak prayers to the kind of relational, passionate, and effective prayer that God calls us to? Prayer is communication but prayer also carries with it the power of creation as we speak God's Word into the earth. Join us Wendy Norman expands our understanding of prayer.

If we are to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31), then the way that we love ourselves is somehow connected to the way that we love others. The question then becomes simple. Do you love yourself? What's the difference between self-love and self-indulgence (or self-delusion). Join Natalie Hochstatter as she explores this topic with us.

Enjoy this very unique love story and enjoy the life lessons learned along the way.

When someone or something is fighting for your attention, do you turn toward, do you turn away, or do you turn against? This concept applies to much of our life so it's a good thing to understand and recognize. Ben Wenzel unpacks this incredible tool for us here.

True friendship means communicating. It means being honest with yourself. It means offering grace and bringing your best to the table. Annie Moore tells us a beautiful story of this in action.

Jesus healed on the Sabbath. He broke the law in order to heal a man. Why? Because He didn't come to abolish the law, He came to fulfill it. So what's the difference between "following" the law and "fulfilling" it? Join Danny Hochstatter on this deep dive into scripture. Connect with us at www.familylife.cc

We are world changers! One of the ways we bring Heaven to earth is through our service. Jesus washed feet as a humble act of service, which was an example to us all. We also know that Christ talked about money more than faith and prayer combined! Your money matters to God. Not only is "wealth-building" very closely aligned with "character-building," but money leads to influence in the natural. Sim...

As we allow Jesus to lead us and to renew our minds, He transforms us into a new creation that is a reflection of Himself. That process of transformation can be painful but it is necessary if we are to fulfill our highest calling in Christ. Relationships are also a tool used for that same process of transformation. They are messy, even the healthy ones, but in order to maintain powerful, free, lov...

Our identity is understood in 2 parts.  1. You are one with Christ and he is one with you. 2. You are uniquely equipped, designed perfectly for a purpose that was hand-selected for you. Let's unpack this understanding of Identity as Danny Hochstatter interviews Schlyce Jimenez.

At Family Life, we focus on 3 main components of Living a Supernatural life:  1. Receive Revelation from the Scriptures: Knowing the Bible is how we get to know the Author and it’s how we develop confidence in the supernatural. The Author is the one who helps us fulfill our highest calling in Christ.  2. Encounter the Presence of God: Encounters with Christ is how we develop intimacy wit...

Danny Hochstatter brings a strange but eye-opening message about parasites. Parasites are gross. They live inside of another living thing, they manipulate the hosts behavior, they consume it from the inside, and grow at the expense of the host. This is what sin does. It gets in, it consumes your mental and emotional health, it consumes your dignity, and it manipulates your behavior to do what is b...
