Hold Fast

As Christians, we often talk about “open doors” and “closed doors” when trying to discern God’s will—but how do we actually know when He’s opening one, or shutting it tight? In this episode of Hold Fast , we explore how Scripture uses this same language—like in Colossians 4 and Acts 16—and what it teaches us about trusting God’s direction. We’ll talk about practical questions to ask when facing ne...

Many Christians ask, “How can anyone be against Israel when they are God’s chosen people?” In this episode, we explore what Scripture teaches about God’s covenant with Israel, what it means to be “chosen,” and how those promises are ultimately fulfilled in Christ. From Genesis to Romans, we’ll trace how God’s plan has always included the Gentiles and how true membership in God’s people comes throu...

If someone asked you over coffee, “How does your church make disciples?” could you explain it clearly? In this episode, Pastor Kenny walks through MissionWay’s discipleship strategy — a simple but powerful picture of what it means to Gather, Grow, Go, and Connect with one another.

In this episode, we explore the marks of an everyday disciple —what it looks like to faithfully follow Jesus, make disciples intentionally, boldly share the Gospel, and serve sacrificially. We’ll dig into practical questions that help us assess our growth and challenge us to live out our faith beyond Sunday .

In this episode, we continue walking through the mission, vision, and values of our church—what shapes who we are and why we exist.

These aren’t just statements on a wall—they are convictions rooted in God’s Word that...

In this episode, I’m walking through MissionWay’s new mission statement: “Equipping one another to reach the lost, strengthen the weak, and encourage the faithful with the Gospel.” We’ll talk about why a mission statement matters, what it says about who we are as a church, and how each of us plays a part in living it out. My hope is that this conversation stirs you to take ownership of the mission...

As we prepare for our new vision series, I want to take you behind the scenes into my own journey of how God has shaped my understanding of pastoral ministry and what a biblically faithful church really looks like. From the weight of shepherding souls to the call to prioritize discipleship over busyness, I’ll share how the Lord has been refining both me and MissionWay Church. This episode sets the...

We all long for revival—but are we waiting on the sidelines for something that God has already called us to live out daily through discipleship? In this episode, we’ll explore why revival without discipleship falls short, why real change begins in our own hearts, and how following Jesus in the everyday is the foundation for any lasting renewal.

In this episode, I address the recent tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s murder and the cultural moment it has created. As Christians, we are called to name evil for what it is, grieve with righteous anger without retaliation, and remain steadfast in loving God and loving our neighbor. I remind listeners that our ultimate hope and change will never come from politics but from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My...

If you're looking for biblical counseling, you can find more information here: https://www.missionwaychurch.org/biblicalcounseling -- Many approaches to counseling only treat the symptoms—stress, conflict, addiction, grief—without ever addressing the deeper heart issues that cause them. But Scripture calls us to something greater. God’s Word is “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sw...

In this episode, Pastor Kenny examines this view through the lens of Scripture and the Reformed understanding of God’s sovereignty. You’ll be encouraged to trust that nothing is outside the Lord’s control, even when life feels uncertain, and reminded that His providence is both purpose...

Bible study is essential for every Christian, but let’s be honest—it’s not always easy to understand. In this episode, we look at why God’s Word matters so much (Psalm 119, Psalm 1), why even the apostle Peter said parts of it are hard (2 Peter 3), and what to do when you feel stuck. With Scripture as our guide, we’ll walk through practical tips for rightly interpreting the Bible and growing in wi...

Most Christians know that the two greatest commandments are to Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. Unfortunately we haven't always interpreted Jesus' words correctly and it has led to some unbiblical ideas about what He meant. Let's dive into those commandments together and see what Jesus meant when He gave them.

Many people say they want authentic, gospel-centered community—until it costs them convenience. In this episode, we talk about how a consumer mindset is quietly shaping our view of the Church, and why real discipleship requires presence, patience, and a willingness to stay. If we keep asking, “What am I getting out of this church?” we may never become who God is forming us to be in the church.

In this episode, we tackle a crucial theme woven throughout the New Testament—how to identify and deal with false teachers. In an age of spiritual confusion and theological compromise, it's more important than ever to weigh everything we hear against the full counsel of Scripture—not just isolated verses. I’ll walk through several principles to help you recognize false teaching in your own lif...

In this episode, I share some reflections from recent online conversations I've had while preparing for our series in 2 Timothy—engagements with unbelievers, those from other religions, and even professing Christians who reject the authority of Scripture. One hotly debated phrase I’ve seen come under fire is: “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Many claim it’s unbiblical—but is that actually true...

What if your local church was more than just an event on your calendar, but it was instead the thing you and your family oriented your entire schedule around?

That's what this episode aims to get at -- He...

Genesis 2:24 tells us that a man is to leave his father and mother and "hold fast" to his spouse. What does that mean? What implications does that have in our marriages?

In Matthew 18:15-20, we have Jesus' teachings on church discipline. Verses 18-20 of that passage seem to be unrelated to the previous verses, and many Christians have taken these verses out of context as a result. What do they really mean? -- Here's the sermon this podcast seeks to elaborate further on: https://subspla.sh/zqdxfrq -- HEre's the sermon that more specifically lays out Jes...

We’ll dive into real-life examples, biblical wisdom, and even a funny sto...

In this episode of Hold Fast, we dive into the age-old temptation of blame-shifting when it comes to sin. From Adam and Eve in the garden to our modern-day excuses, humanity has always been quick to point the finger elsewhere. But the Bible is clear: your sin is your responsibility. Join us as we unpack what Scripture says about owning up to our failures, the danger of justifying sin, and the free...
