Pathway Church Podcast

What if the greatest story ever told is bigger than you thought? It's easy to assume Jesus was only present for part of the story. But in our series, Jesus Always, we'll look back and discover that Jesus was there from the beginning—and that He’s right here, in whatever we’re facing today. This message is adapted from Jesus Always, a teaching series from Life. Church by Craig Groeschel and Tim Dor...

The story of Naaman reminds us that God often works in ways that challenge our pride, expectations, and desire for control. In this baptism message, we consider what it means to respond to God with faith-filled obedience.

What if it’s not too late? In this Father’s Day message, Pastor Nathan shares from Mark 5 about Jairus, a father desperate enough to fall at Jesus’ feet and invite Him into his home. When everyone else thought the story was over, Jesus stepped in and changed everything. It’s never too late to invite Jesus into your life, your family, and your home.

Did you know that there are levels to generosity? This week we will discover the 5 levels of generous living that can impact others and change us as we live with open hands and open hearts. We can stop where we are, or graduate to the next level of generous living.

What if generosity isn’t mainly about how much you give, but about what your giving reveals? In part two of The Joy of Generosity, we’ll look at how God invites us to move beyond leftovers—whether with our money, time, or attention—and discover the freedom that comes from putting Him first.

What does it really mean to be generous? This week, we begin The Joy of Generosity by looking beyond some of the common assumptions people bring to the topic. Together, we’ll consider how generosity is connected not just to what we give, but to the kind of people God is forming us to become.

This week’s message is a special Youth Takeover edition, featuring three of our students sharing what God taught them at Youth Retreat. Through the theme “Outlaws,” they reflect on stories of failure, grace, and new life, reminding us that through Jesus we are free, through Jesus we are clean, and through Jesus we are saved.

The Church matters deeply to God—and we believe the local church is still His primary means of bringing hope to the world. Join us this Sunday for Vision Sunday as we talk about what makes a healthy church, how we are seeking to embody that at Pathway, and where we believe God is leading us next. We’ll also share updates on staffing, ministry strategy, and some of the key conversations shaping our...

This message explores the cultural lie of “you do you” and contrasts it with Jesus’ call to surrender and follow Him. Through Matthew 16, we see that a self-centered life ultimately leads to loss, while an identity anchored in Christ brings freedom, stability, and purpose. Jesus invites us to stop looking inward for identity and instead trust Him to redefine our lives from the inside out.

The sexual revolution told us desire is destiny, and millions have built their identity on that belief. But what if that foundation is collapsing under us? In this message, we dismantle the cultural lie that “you are your desires” and discover the life-changing truth of who God says we are, why our bodies matter, and how the gospel brings real freedom.

Do you ever feel like you’re not enough unless someone approves of you? We live in a world obsessed with approval — likes, follows, and opinions. But what happens when others’ voices become louder than God’s? This message will help you break free from the pressure of people’s opinions and discover the peace that comes from knowing you’re fully accepted by God. You are not what they say — you are w...

Do you ever feel like you’re only as good as your last accomplishment? From school grades to career goals, our world teaches us that achievement defines our worth. But what happens when you fail, or when success still doesn’t satisfy? In this message from our series Who Told You That?, we uncover the lie that our identity is found in what we do and show how Jesus frees us from the endless pressure...

Have you ever thought, “If I just had a little more, I’d finally be happy”? From childhood to adulthood, we’re told that what we own defines our worth — that “more” will fix the ache inside. But what if more is never enough? In the first message of our new series Who Told You That?, we will expose the lie that our value comes from our possessions and reveal why chasing “more” always leaves us empt...

For centuries people have searched for evidence of the resurrection of Jesus. Historians have studied it, skeptics have questioned it, and believers have celebrated it. But if we really want to know the truth, our investigation must leave no stone unturned (pun intended). Join us this Easter as we uncover the strongest evidence for a risen saviour - Exhibit A.

This Palm Sunday, guest speaker Andrew Friesen, one of Pathway’s elders, shares a message from Luke 21 about staying spiritually awake as Jesus entered His final week before the cross. As we begin Easter week, we’ll be invited to bring our heavy, distracted, or anxious hearts to Jesus and find grace to live alert, surrendered, and ready.

In this message, we explore how God’s Word is meant not just to inform us, but to transform us. Looking at the short book of Philemon, we learn practical steps for studying the Bible and discover how Scripture reveals God’s grace, forgiveness, and power to change lives. When we commit to engaging with God’s Word regularly, it shapes our hearts and draws us closer to Him. This sermon is a video reb...

In this message, Pastor Craig Groeschel of Life Church explores practical, approachable steps for studying the Bible in a way that actually makes sense in everyday life—choosing a translation you understand, finding a consistent rhythm, and learning to read with context and purpose. Through the short book of Philemon, we’re reminded that God’s Word is living and powerful, and that He can transform...

This Sunday, we wrap up Made for THIS by exploring how God calls us to move forward by changing the patterns that keep us going in circles. In Nehemiah 9–10, we see that true renewal begins when we acknowledge our sin, take responsibility, and trust Jesus—the one who gives us the power to live differently.

Week 9 of Made For THIS follows Nehemiah 7–8 as the wall is finished, leadership is entrusted to the next generation, and God’s Word gathers and reshapes His people. In Nehemiah 8 we see three movements—Hear what God has said, Receive what God has done, and Remember God’s faithfulness—pointing us to baptism as a milestone marker and a first step into new life, not the finish line.

In Nehemiah 6, we see how the enemy shifts tactics from opposition to distraction—targeting Nehemiah with manipulation, accusations, and pressure to compromise. This message explores “the power of NO”: staying focused on God’s calling, guarding your integrity, and refusing distractions so the work God has given you can be finished.

Week 7 of our “Made For THIS” series frames opposition not just as “out there” (external enemies), but “in here” (internal conflict—selfishness and greed within God’s people). Nehemiah 5 shows how “friendly fire” can wound a community, and how wise leadership confronts sin, calls for repentance, and models generosity rooted in the fear of God.

In Week 6 of Made for This, we follow Nehemiah 4 as rebuilding moves from “smooth sailing” to real opposition through mocking, criticism, and threats meant to stop the work. Nehemiah shows us how to respond: give it to God, keep building, and when pressure rises, pray and prepare with a clear plan. If you are taking steps forward in faith, family, health, or finances, this message will help you ex...

This Sunday in Made For This (Week 5: “All Hands on Deck”), we’ll dig into Nehemiah 3 and discover why what looks like “just a list of names” is actually a blueprint for how God builds big things: organized work, shared ownership, and every person contributing. We’ll be challenged to lead with a servant heart, bring our passion to the mission, and find our place in the work God is doing—because yo...

In Week 4 of our Made For This series, we follow Nehemiah (Nehemiah 2:9–18) as he arrives in Jerusalem and turns God-given vision into a practical plan. This message explores why a vision without a plan stays a daydream—and how wise timing, counting the cost, and leading with a clear “why” helps make vision stick and mobilize people to action.

In Week 3 of our Made for This series, we explore Nehemiah 2:1–8 and the call to be faithful in the little things while you wait for clarity about what breaks your heart and where God is leading. Nehemiah’s daily faithfulness positioned him for God’s favor when the moment came, reminding us that character matters and small, unseen choices shape what comes next.
