Harbor Church Podcast

We are all commanded to worship - individually and corporately - and yet sometimes it feels like something only for those blessed with the talent to play music and sing and also something we have to figure out how to do on our own. Worship leaders John Petty and Kaleigh Adams sit down to chat about how God defines worship, who worship is really for, why we should do it together, and how to make it...

The idea of finding God’s plan for our lives can seem so mysterious - yet we have decisions (big and small) that need to be made every day. What do we do when those decisions affect our loved ones? How do we know when to move forward and when to wait on God? Pastor Ron and Marilyn Sears sit down with Katie Rose to share about their 57 years of marriage & ministry, and what those experiences ha...

We often treat God’s will like a puzzle we’re meant to solve: searching for signs, trying to crack the code, and getting frustrated when life doesn’t make sense. But what if His will isn’t meant to be deciphered at all? In our last week of Mind Games, we're looking at how God’s will is sovereign, moral, and deeply personal, and why it’s discovered not through control, but through humble surren...

Let’s be real: talking about the devil gets weird fast. For long term Christians and new believers alike, it can be a tricky topic, and often feels irrelevant. But the Bible is clear that we’re meant to “be alert” and watch out for our enemy - so what does that look like? How do we wrestle with the reality of Satan without living in fear? Katie Rose sits down with John Petty to talk about how impo...

This week in our Mind Games series, we're talking spiritual warfare. The devil can’t steal your salvation, but he’ll do everything to distract and discourage you. Discover how to fight not for victory but from it, and why your security isn’t in your grip on God, but in His unshakable grip on you.

That’s right: we’re talking money. On a church podcast. Everyone’s favorite subject, right? Katie Rose and Kaleigh sit down to get to the heart behind our wallets, and share why our refusal to have this (often awkward) conversation only blocks us from the joy God has on the other side.

God talks more about money than almost anything else in Scripture, not because He wants something from us, but because He wants something for us. In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us to examine how we spend, give, and trust when it comes to our finances. Discover how biblical financial discipline isn’t about guilt or greed; it’s about putting God first and finding freedom. If you’re new to H...

What if your words could bring bridges instead of build up walls? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose get real about where they struggle when it comes to the way they speak, and discuss how to approach challenging the people in our lives without tearing them down.

One of the most powerful (and overlooked disciplines) in the Christian life is verbal discipline. The Bible says your words aren't neutral... they're either worship or something else entirely. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what Scripture teaches about the power of the tongue: what we should say, what we shouldn’t, and why it matters more than we think. From winning arguments to losi...

This week, we’re talking red flags - not for romantic relationships, but in your relationship with God. If we’re going after good things, what are the signs that we’re going about it in the wrong way? And how can we identify when we’ve slipped back into trusting ourselves more than we trust God? Tune in as Pastor Josh and Katie Rose take a look in the mirror and help find areas where we all tend t...

We are so quick to put the weight on ourselves — to earn more, fix more, build more, be more. But what if that’s the harder way? What if the real danger isn’t in what we don’t have, but in trusting ourselves too much to get it? In this message, Pastor Josh explores the trap of self-reliance, the burden of “more,” and the invitation to a better, freer, God-dependent life. Don’t miss this wake-up ca...

Katie Rose and Pastor Josh get personal with the idea of closeness with God - the obstacles we face, the false expectations we hold, and the hope that God has for all of us (even in the midst of struggling).

Most people want more peace, more clarity, and more purpose, but few realize the power of simply getting close to God. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the truth behind James 4:8 and reveals why intimacy with God is not a passive hope, it’s a daily decision. Learn what it means to move towards Spirit-filled strength and discover three practical steps to deepen your walk with Jesus today. If yo...

Jesus gives us access to a whole new kind of freedom - freedom from sin, shame, and a religion based on fear. But somehow we all keep screwing up…so what’s the point in continuing to struggle? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose get into why we don’t need to feel defeated by our own imperfection, but can instead be empowered to walk forward with confidence (even if we know we’re gonna mess up again). If yo...

This Independence Day, Pastor Josh reminds us there’s a greater freedom than any government can provide: a soul-deep freedom found only in Jesus. True freedom doesn’t require uniformity; it calls us to unity. Because in God’s kingdom, even your brokenness can become your boldest testimony.

Pastor Josh and Katie Rose are diving into what it really means to live on mission - whether that’s around the world or in your own home. How do we trust that God is there shining His light even when things feel totally dark? And how do we look inside to face the dark, not-so-great parts of our own heart?

Jesus’ words still shine bright: “I am the Light of the world.” This message reveals how His light doesn’t just offer hope for eternity, it gives clarity, direction, and strength for today. Whether you’re in a season of doubt, struggle, or just feeling stuck, this message will remind you: Light doesn’t run from darkness, it shows up in it. If you’re new to Harbor or want to get connected in any wa...

From prayer, to parenting, to Kia Sportages (yes, really), there’s nothing God doesn’t want to be a part of - so how do we invite Him in? Sit down with Katie Rose and guest Hannah Dziczek as they dig into what it looks like to let God be the Father He wants to be in every area of our lives.

We're continuing our "I Am" sermon series at Harbor Church and this week Pastor Casey steps in while Pastor Josh is away on a mission trip. In a powerful and personal message, Casey unpacks Jesus’ metaphor, "I am like a mother hen," showing us how God's desire is to gather, protect, and nurture us, even when we resist. It's a fresh and moving look at the heart of Je...

So often we define ourselves by what we do - our jobs, our families, where we’re from, our achievements. But what happens when those things get stripped away? Is God mad at us…or is it possible that He’s trying to help us find our true selves? Katie Rose sits down with Chris Lingo to talk about Jesus describing Himself as the true vine, and what it means to stay connected to Him even when things g...
