Hoboken Grace Podcast

It’s not just about how to leave loneliness ourselves, but can we help those around us do the same? In this week’s bonus conversation, Pastor Chris walks through practical ways we can walk alongside those that are still searching for community.

We have become really good at creating a brand or image that really isn’t who we truly are. What if we decide that being known is better than hiding?

What does it look like to build healthy community for ourselves and for others? This week we look to the life of Paul to find out.

It’s one thing to know you should leave loneliness behind but it’s another thing to understand how. This week we begin the journey to understanding “how”.

Today we celebrated the past year and all that God has accomplished in and through Hoboken Grace. From Grace Kids to community partnerships to the Home Initiative, Pastor Chris highlighted all of the ways we love and impact our community, and outlined the vision moving forward. “As we look at this new city that God has given us, and this […]

Pastor Anthony wraps up “Unstuck” in this special online-only finale, so it’s go time to find freedom in how God would take us from stuck to unstuck! Listen as Anthony encourages us to create the space to listen to God and hear what he’s telling us to do in seasons of feeling stuck. Listening to God points us in the direction we […]

When we feel stuck in life, it’s natural to try and find a way out of that feeling. In those times we have a choice. We can try and take our own path or we can partner with God on the solution. Listen as Pastor Anthony walks through why it’s important to depend on God in those seasons where we feel […]

Have you ever said to yourself “I feel stuck and I don’t know what to do”? Maybe you feel stuck in your job, relationship, or even in your outlook for the future. No matter what it is, feeling this way can be scary and frustrating, and we have all been there. But what if there is a way out? What […]

We started the Home Initiative over a year ago, and today Pastor Chris gives an update on where we are in that journey. This is a historic moment for the church and the years-long journey towards a space from which we can better love and serve the city.

Over the past five weeks we have been asking, how can we learn to love the rollercoaster of life? Today’s conversation is about how fear can sometimes control our experience and direction on the ride. Has this fear steered you wrong in the past or have you struggled with allowing it to dictate your decisions? We will all experience fear, […]

We all have different reasons we ride the rollercoaster of life, and sometimes those reasons can dictate our experience and perspective along the way. But what is it that you are really living for? What if your ride has a more significant purpose, and what is that purpose? Today Pastor Chris talks about how we can engage the twists, respond […]

Isn’t it funny how there can be so much good in life, and yet our minds are consumed with what we don’t have or can’t have? When that becomes our focus, it shows how quickly our feelings can change on what’s best for ourselves. But what happens if we let go of the idea that only we know what is […]

Pastor Chris continues the Learning to Love Roller Coasters and challenges us to ask ourselves some important questions. How are we experiencing the ride of life? Do we trust the designer of the ride or do we try to take control? Join as we walk through how we can experience the ride well and how it is possible to have comfort […]

Life is a roller coaster and sometimes it can be difficult to hang on. We’ve all faced situations where we’re worried because we don’t know what loop comes next. We lose sight of how to turn for peace and care along the way. Join Pastor Anthony for this powerful message as he shares his own story and demonstrates how putting […]

All of us work hard to try and control the roller coaster of life. We try to stay “on track” and avoid the twists and turns, but it’s a trap to believe that we can actually control the ride! What we can control though is the experience. Join Pastor Chris as he kicks off our new conversation ‘Learning to Love Rollercoasters’, and […]

We are all uniquely created and gifted with our own strengths, but how are we using them and what are we using them for? For some of us, we might use them to advance ourselves and achieve certain accomplishments. For others, we might not use them at all because we feel like we have little to offer or that our strengths […]

Pastor Chris walks us through the 4 year journey of the Home Initiative, and what led us to where we are now. But we want to go back before we go forward. We want to trust God and follow Him. We don’t want to miss a single moment to engage with God as we look toward the future, putting roots down […]

We live our lives for so many different things and we invest our lives in so many different things, but what if we could use our time and talents for something even bigger? We are all called to be part of that bigger mission, and during today’s conversation Pastor Chris talks to us about understanding the invitation we have all […]

So many times we look for evidence to support what we believe to be true. We think “I’ll believe it when I see it.” And for many of us, that is true of our faith journey as well. How do you trust a God that you can’t see? What does it look like to believe in God? What do you […]

Often in our personal relationships we find a way to keep score, and many of us have similarly been told that our performance impacts our relationship and standing with God. But what if God doesn’t keep score? What if “right standing” with Him isn’t earned just by our actions? Listen as Pastor Chris talks about the intention of behavior in […]

When times get tough and spirits are low, have you ever asked yourself how it all happened? Or how things could be made right? Maybe there is a bad memory about something you did, and you have no idea how you could ever forgive yourself. Today’s conversation talks about an outlet that can release all worries and doubts. Some may […]

What is it that establishes a relationship with God? We may all have our own thinking on that, but the foundational answer is trust in Him. God does not condition a relationship with us based on our ability to follow the rules or achieve good things. For us to have a meaningful relationship, all we have to do is simply […]

God does not break promises, so why is it still so hard to have faith sometimes? To understand, this week we explored the promises God made to Abraham and how God’s plan was moving forward even when it wasn’t always obvious. Looking back, we now have the proof that God’s promises to Abraham were kept! Listen as we explore that […]
