Harbor Church Podcast

There’s a lot of talk about the Holy Spirit: hearing, following, and some kind of power we have access to? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose sit down to set some things straight when it comes to God’s Spirit, and how so many of us are missing out on the “unlimited resources” Paul writes about in Ephesians 3.If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connected in any way click this link to get your New Here g...

As we continue our Ephesians sermon series we are in Chapter 3 this week, Pastor Josh reminds us that the mystery of the Gospel has been revealed, not just for our information but for our transformation. When you truly grasp how deeply God loves you, obedience stops feeling like obligation and starts to overflow as worship. It's not simply doctrine, but also a divine invitation to live in awe,...

Faith isn’t always neat. Pastor Josh and our new Campus Pastor Jimmy explore how obedience can feel risky, and why growth gets so messy. Jimmy shares how scary yeses, awkward faith steps, and divine detours turned into something bigger than he could have ever planned.

Ever feel like something’s missing, and everyone else seems to have it figured out? Here’s the truth: God’s given us all we need (and more than we realize), and He’s laid it all out for us in the Bible. And we ALL have the chance to discover it for ourselves. Join us as we walk through the first chapter of Ephesians, and lean into a foundation where you can stop performing and finally find a true...

It’s been nine years since Harbor Church started, and God has done incredible things every step of the way. Pastor Josh and Katie Rose take a little trip down memory lane to remember what it looks like to take a real leap of faith, and dig into how churches and individuals can stay on mission, even after all these years.

This weekend, as we celebrate 9 years of Harbor Church, we’re remembering the reason we started: to help people discover the eternity-changing forgiveness only Jesus can offer. Sin doesn’t just stain us, it separates us, weighs us down, and damages everything in our lives. Jesus came to change all of that. This is a message for anyone who’s tired of carrying shame and ready to be set free by grace...

There’s no denying that we’re surrounded by division - in our country, our neighborhoods, our homes, and our churches. But the Bible tells us time and time again that we’re supposed to find unity with one another. So how do we do that when it feels impossible? Whether you’re seeing division in your marriage, your family, your workplace, your church, or on the media, join Lexi and Katie Rose as the...

A divided church can’t defeat a united enemy. Jesus prayed for unity, not just among His disciples, but for all believers. In this message, Pastor Josh breaks down the silent killers of unity including pride, gossip, and unforgiveness and why we must fight for peace in our homes, churches, and relationships. Unity isn’t about agreeing on everything; it’s about refusing to let what divides us be bi...

Are you really ready… or just pretending to be? In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the parable of the ten bridesmaids and reminds us that it’s not enough to look prepared, you have to be prepared.

In this episode, Pastor Josh and his wife Kaleigh team up for their first podcast together — full of laughs, tangents, and some raw conversations about faith.

Jesus says everyone’s invited… but not everyone accepts the invitation. Just showing up isn’t enough! There’s one thing the King expects when you walk through the door.

Obedience feels like a bad word - nobody wants to be told what to do, much less without a reason. So why does the picture of God we paint often seem so demanding? Are we supposed to blindly agree? Katie Rose sits down with Zac Titus to talk about why we’re so uncomfortable with the idea of obedience, and why that discomfort is exactly what God is after. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get conne...
