Fresh Cup

Often we read the pages of Scripture and the lives of the Holy Spirit empowered disciples don't always match up with our day-to-day lives. If we are also living with the Holy Spirit inside of us, why is there such a gap? Join us as we start a journey to discover how to close this gap and live a story closer to the story we see play out in the Word. 

A little info on how to connect and grow during Holy Week. A prayer for Easter services and a preview on where we're going after Easter on the podcast. We'll be in the season of Pentecost so we'll be leaning into our understanding and communion with the Holy Spirit by reading a book together. Join us for a book club on "The Familiar Stranger" by Tyler Staton.  Holy Week Pr...

Join us for some talk about how our March Madness brackets turned out...as well as discussion about our progress and learnings from the first half of lent and leaning in to the presence of God this season!

Pastor David shares some cool God stories and learnings from being on a missions trip this past week, partnering with Open Arms in Mexico. Plus, we have discussion around the experience of encountering the Lord in greater ways when we're at a retreat or on mission because we have greater expectations than we might in our day-to-day lives.  Watch Video Podcast

Today we are joined by Lizette Aguilar, a servant-hearted staff member who usually likes to serve behind the scenes.

Hey Fresh Cuppers! Today is a little different. Pastor David had the opportunity to share his story and his journey of healing on another podcast called, A Holy Mess, and we thought it would be so great to share with our listeners too! So enjoy and be encouraged today! A Holy Mess Podcast

Pastors David and Alanna share some of their personal learnings and growth that has taken place over the recent weeks and discuss the importance and impact the practice of Lent has had on them. It's a valuable time to evaluate where we've drifted off course a bit and realign with the heart of Jesus. 

All too often we settle. In relationships. In personal development. And even in our faith. It's hard and even scary to go deeper and face what lies beneath the surface. But God has SO MUCH MORE. Join us and THE Courtney Mayberry as we discuss how real, abundant life is found when we don't settle and are willing to do what it takes to go deeper with Jesus. 

Learning to rely on God and others can be hard. Listen in to our conversation with Tami Lundquist as she shares how she navigated hard times, learned to see God's goodness running after her, and came to see the beauty of trusting God and inviting others into life...even when it isn't pretty.  Watch Video Podcast

What are the "small" things in life that turned out to be a big catalyst in your life? Has the trajectory of your life changed through simple, "mundane" ordinary occurrences. God often uses these "small things" to equip and shape us and produce big fruit. Pastors Alanna & Jared Moine share some of there small/big moments in their faith.  Watch Video Podcast

This week we are joined by our resident Mr. Fixit and SoundMaster, Curtis Wood.

The greatest commandment according to Jesus is all about LOVE. However, "love" is often so cliche or elusive. How does love actually take root in our lives? Join us as we discuss how we can let God love us into people of love. Merry Christmas! Watch Video Podcast

"'Don't be afraid!' he said, 'I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.'" Sometimes we forget that "all people" includes ME! This great joy isn't something that we have to seek after or strive for...it's a gift that God BRINGS. Let's discuss how we can reach out and accept this gift of joy...not just for a season but...

Often the peace we seek at Christmastime is simply the reduction of chaos and noise in our lives and circumstances. However, the peace God offers is SO much more. It's the ceasing of striving and pining in our lives. It's the assurance that comes when we allow Jesus to be the prince (or captain) of our peace. Coming under His authority is when we experience the peace that goes beyond hum...

Merry Christmas! It's always great to take a pause and focus on the care and tending of our souls. Advent does that when we intentionally set our hearts on the Bread of Life that actually satisfies, rather than the cheap, processed "Christmas spirit" that always leaves us lacking.  Watch Video Podcast

Liturgy is a very churchy word...in fact it's a HIGH churchy word often associated with Catholicism and other traditions. However, we ALL have a liturgy in our lives, whether we realize it or not. Join us as we talk about what liturgy is and what it means for something to be "liturgical". Watch Video Podcast

Continue the conversation surrounding hermeneutics, the lens by which we interpret scripture. In this second half, we'll explore more of a balanced way of viewing scripture in order to get the full picture of God's Word, that it might shape us further into His image! Watch the Video Podcast

We all read scripture through a particular lens, whether we realize it or not. However, this can greatly influence how we interpret God's Word. Join us as we explore the churchy word for this: hermeneutics. We had a lot to say about this churchy word, so we are breaking it down into 2 separate episodes. Come back next week for part 2! Watch the video podcast

This was a request from a listener! If you have a suggestion for a churchy word or topic for us to discuss, email it to: communications@newlifepismo.com Jesus actually talked a lot about money. Why? Join us as we discuss the "debate" between tithes and offerings, explore the differences, and try to speak to what is "required" of believers today. You can WATCH the video podcast...

Atonement is a word that can seem foreign or even archaic...especially if you grew up outside of a faith context. Join us as we unpack this word and concept and what it means to be "covered by the blood" of Jesus. ALSO....Surprise! We also now have a video version of the podcast available to WATCH on YouTube.

Took a little longer than 20 minutes to unpack this impactful churchy word! It's a big word with big significance...not only theologically, but in how we see ourselves and how we live our lives. So let's dive in and get sanctified! 

1 Peter says, "But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” But what does that actually mean? Is being holy even attainable? Join us as we discuss what holiness actually is and what it is not and find out how we can live out this calling in our lives.  Have an idea for a churchy word you'd...
