Harbor Church Podcast

We’re more anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted than ever. Fortunately, what our Heavenly Father offers us isn’t just psychological change but spiritual restoration. Join us in our "What If" sermon series as we explore this powerful question: What if God was at the center of all my thoughts, reactions, and decisions? If you're new to Harbor, have questions, or are looking to get conne...

 Be honest - when people ask how you’re doing, are you tempted to respond, “busy”? We all feel it. Full schedules, not enough time to do everything we’d like, and yet the obligations just keep coming. In today’s episode, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose get real about the root behind our need to constantly be going. What if God has a better way that doesn’t involve collapsing into bed every night wishin...

Time is your most limited resource and how you spend it reveals who you trust. In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us to stop wearing “busy” like a badge and start seeing rest as a spiritual discipline, not a luxury. If you’ve been running on fumes, this is your reminder that real strength comes when your time and your trust is in God’s hands. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connected i...

What if the biggest barrier between you and the life God has for you is your own disobedience? In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us to move from sentiment to substance, because surrender isn’t the same as obedience. We may feel surrendered, but until we actually obey, we’re still holding back. If Jesus isn’t Lord of all, He isn’t Lord at all. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connected...

Let’s be honest - most of us say "Thy will be done" while white-knuckling our way through each day. In this episode, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose are digging into the anatomy of control: why we crave it, how it’s exhausting us, and what actually happens when we stop playing God. If you’re ready for 2026 to actually be different, and to see some change that lasts beyond February, take a listen.

What if the best year of your life doesn’t come from striving harder, but from surrendering deeper? In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what it means to fully trust God’s plan, release control, and let Him lead. You don’t find God’s will by discovering yourself; you find it by surrendering yourself. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connected in any way click this link to get your New Here g...

2025 was a year of ups, downs, and more than anything a display of God’s faithfulness. Join Katie Rose and Pastor Josh for a time of reflection, sharing stories, and remembering God’s goodness before we get into 2026.

Sometimes you start on a journey, only to find that God has different plans for you. In this message, Pastor Josh looks into what it means for us to have to take a different route than we intended. Hear about what true trust looks like - even in the face of unexpected detours. We're so glad you're joining us for this online only service, and can't wait to be back together in person nex...

If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind in your journey with God, or like you missed a moment, this one’s for you. Pastor Josh and Katie Rose dig into the idea of being behind in life, and how important it is to (like the wise men) have people traveling beside you.

Not to shake up your nativity scene, but the wisemen were late. Fortunately, all are welcome in the presence of Jesus, regardless of their timing. In this Christmas message, Pastor Josh reminds us that God isn’t checking our timing, He’s looking at our heart. Whether you’re early, late, broken, or doubting, you still belong. God meets you where you are, and late worship is still powerful worship....

Every good story has a bad guy….and all of our lives involve people that aren’t always on our side (even if they think they are). So how to we deal with the naysayers? And what if the people who are working against us also happen to be people we love? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose talk through why we shouldn’t be surprised that not everyone is cheering us on, and what Biblical boundaries actually loo...

Not everyone who’s close to you is really for you. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the story of Herod and the wise men to reveal how “frenemies” can look supportive on the outside but be dangerous on the inside. Learn how to discern intentions, guard your heart, and follow God's voice above all else. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connected in any way click this link to get your N...

What if the sacrifice God is calling you to isn't about your bank account, but your emotional life? In this episode, we dig deeper into the Biblical concept of "laying it at the feet of Jesus” - something the Wise Men did a couple thousand years ago with their gifts, and something that we still need to practice today. So what does practical, everyday, sacrificial discipleship look like? Pastor Jos...

What does your worship really say about what you believe? The Magi’s gifts weren’t random; they reflected their understanding of who Jesus was. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks how true worship always involves sacrifice. God measures giving by trust, not by amount.

We're officially in Christmas mode at Harbor! This week, we're taking an intentional look at the journey of the Wise Men—twists, turns, and tests included—and what that story means for our own walk with God. Does following Him require leaving everything behind? Is He "testing" us from Heaven? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose sit down to tackle these challenging questions and more. From...

Great moves of God often begin with small steps of obedience. Just like the wise men and Abraham, faith requires action before clarity and movement before guidance. When we take the first, often uncomfortable, step in obedience, even without full understanding, God meets us in motion and uses our faith to impact others in ways we may never fully see. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connecte...

We get it, your calendar is full, your phone is glued to your hand, and somewhere in the middle of it all you wonder: how can I still be available to God and serve others when I barely have time for myself? This week Pastor Josh and Katie Rose talk through putting our faith into action, how not to be overwhelmed by every good cause that exists, and how to find time to say “yes” to God even in the...

This message is a powerful reminder of the blessings we often overlook and the calling we all share. We all have an opportunity to live with gratitude, give generously, and reflect God’s love in both word and action. Thankfulness and generosity are spiritual practices and acts of worship!

Description: The last chapter of Ephesians is jam packed with info - dealing with parents, kids, bosses, employees, and the tools God has given us to face life from a spiritual standpoint. So what do we do when the authority figures in our lives don’t act the way we’d hope? And how are we supposed to “armor up” when we’d rather just lie down? Katie Rose and Illise Titus chat about how we can still...

We’re closing out our series on Ephesians with a powerful message from our Production Director Chris Lingo on Ephesians 6. From spirit-filled relationships to spiritual warfare, Paul shows us how to love like a servant, live like a soldier, and last like a saint. Armor up, because the battle is real. If you’d like to follow along as we read Ephesians together, text “BIBLE” to 508-500-6656. You’ll...

We’re closing out our series on Ephesians with a powerful message from Mashpee Campus Pastor Mike Avant on Ephesians 6.

The Bible says marriage is meant to be a living, breathing sermon about Christ and the Church. That can be a huge burden—or an incredible promise. Katie Rose sits down with Pastor Josh and Kaleigh to get honest about Ephesians 5, what it really looks like to submit to one another, and how we can all use our relationships (whether we’re married or not) to ensure our time isn't wasted. If you’re...

This week, Pastor Josh & his wife Kaleigh discuss what it means and looks like to live lives that reflect Christ. As we talked about last week, the Gospel isn't something you learn as much as it's something you live. Spirit-filled living and sacrificial love transforms hearts and homes! If you’d like to follow along as we read Ephesians together, text “BIBLE” to 508-500-6656. You’ll ge...

The fourth chapter of the Book of Ephesians is all about spiritual maturity - but what does that even mean? How do I check myself when it comes to turning my beliefs into behaviors, and what does it look like to realign myself with God (and others) when I’ve drifted? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose sit down to talk through the Bible’s blueprint for a stable faith walk, and why you might be feeling spir...

Just like an orchestra pauses to tune to the same note before they begin, the church must align with the Gospel and the Holy Spirit to live in unity, grow in maturity, and walk in obedience. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks Ephesians 4 and how the gospel isn't just something to learn, it's something to live! If you’d like to follow along as we read Ephesians together, text “BIBLE” to 5...
