Pathway Church Podcast

In the second week of our "Made for This" series, guest speaker Tim Coles explores how God grants us favour with others to help realize the unique visions He places on our hearts. By examining Nehemiah’s bold prayer before King Artaxerxes, we will discover how to bridge the gap between "what is" and "what could be" in light of the world’s needs. Join us as we learn to seek God’s partnership and pr...

As we begin our "Made for This" series, we explore the life of Nehemiah to discover how a unique calling often starts with the soul-searching question: "What breaks your heart?" Through the story of a royal cupbearer who sought to rebuild a broken city, we see that a calling is more than just a job; it is a divine invitation to join God's work using your unique gifts. This week, learn how to move...

This Christmas season, we will refocus our hearts on the true meaning of Christ’s coming by exploring the significance of the gifts brought by the wise men — gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Though these were customary offerings for a king, each gift reveals something profound about who Jesus is and what His arrival would mean for the world. Together, we’ll uncover how these ancient treasures point...

Join us as guest speaker Carlo Raponi leads us through “Grace Anatomy,” an honest look at the ways we try—and fail—to reach God on our own, and the surprising hope found in grace instead of self-effort. Discover why this gift changes everything.

On this Baptism Sunday, Pastor Nathan unpacks the beautiful symbolism of baptism as cleansing from sin, dying to our old life, and being raised to new life in Christ, tracing how the early church responded to Jesus in the book of Acts. He reminds us that baptism isn’t the finish line of faith but the first step of obedience, and invites us to ask, “What’s really stopping me from being baptized?” T...

Guest speaker Kirk Goodman unpacks what it means to develop a heart for God as seen in Nehemiah 2. He explores how honesty, courage, prayer, and spiritual attentiveness shape a life that follows God faithfully. This message calls us to open our hearts to God’s renewing work and to live with purpose and trust.

It’s impossible to be in any relationship for long without facing conflict. When boundaries are crossed, communication breaks down, or expectations go unmet, things can quickly turn tense or even toxic. In this message, we’ll explore Jesus’ guidance on how to have courageous conversations—the kind that can open doors for healing and restoration.

In part five of the That Ship Has Not Sailed series, titled “Boundaries,” we look at how setting healthy limits is essential for thriving relationships. Pastor Nathan unpacks how God’s design for order and structure helps us protect our time, energy, and hearts—so we can love others generously, serve wisely, and experience peace instead of chaos.

This week's message continues week four of That Ship Has Not Sailed, exploring parenting as both burden and blessing and calling us to build our homes with God at the center. We’ll consider a healthier posture for family life and practical gifts we can offer our kids. We’ll also hear insights from a panel of parents on adapting to each child’s temperament and integrating faith into everyday life....

Marriage is not a contract between two people. Marriage is a covenant relationship that God established for the flourishing of family and society, as well as a way of demonstrating the relationship God desires to have with us.

What makes a true friend—and how do we become one? In “Friend-Ship,” we explore biblical friendship that goes deeper than convenience or common interests: a friend who “sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). We’ll unpack practical steps—be friendly, be vulnerable, be generous, and don’t overdo it—plus insights from David & Jonathan (1 Samuel 18) and Jesus & Peter (John 21). If you’ve felt...

Relationships are a gift—and sometimes a struggle. This week we kick of the first message in our "That Ship Has Sailed" series. We’re opening the Bible to find hope and healing for everyday relationships as we unpack how different temperaments affect our words and meanings, and how taking responsibility for our part can transform connection. Join us for Pastor Nathan's sermon and a special panel a...

Celebrate 15 years of God’s faithfulness with us at Pathway! This Sunday, Andrew Friesen closes out our Forward Series with Part 4: Supporting Cast, as we look back with gratitude, look ahead with hope, and thank the many people God has used in our story—while asking how we can be that for others. Let’s celebrate what God has done and step into what’s next together.

Forward Together zooms out from solo heroics to celebrate the supporting cast—the friends, mentors, makers, givers, and quiet servants who move a community forward. We reframe generosity as contribution (time, skill, courage, resources), ask “What’s in my hand?”, and add two game-changing words to our prayers: through me. You’ll be invited to name your people, offer your gifts, and stretch for som...

Forward with Friends explores the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people as you move toward God’s calling. Looking at Moses, Aaron, and Hur in Exodus 17, we see how even strong leaders need support, and how the right circle can make the difference between victory and defeat. This message challenges us to choose our team wisely, invest in authentic relationships, and step into com...

Pastor Nathan’s message Moving Forward launches the Forward series by showing that while change is hard, God does not want us stuck in the past. Drawing from Israel’s exodus, he teaches that moving forward means identifying where God is leading, leaving behind what holds us back, and trusting Him through the challenges of the “messy middle.” Moving forward is not just running from what was, but st...

When you face questions you can’t answer, it can feel like you have only two options—deny your faith or deny your questions. Instead, the Book of Habakkuk shows us that we can doubt and keep seeking God. This sermon series is based on content provided by Life. Church through Open Network resources.

There are many reasons people might doubt their faith. But doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it’s often a pathway to a deeper, more meaningful faith. We can examine our beliefs, let go of what’s untrue, and build on what is true. This sermon series is based on content provided by Life. Church through Open Network resources. Learn more at open.life.church.

At some point, we’ve all questioned what we believe. But doubt isn’t a dead end. Confronting our deepest questions can actually lead us closer to Jesus. In this opening message, we make room to be honest, process tension, and keep showing up so a more resilient trust can take shape. Together, let’s discover The Benefit of Doubt.

Part 3 of the Made for Mondays series examines why work matters—and why rest matters too. We'll see how Sabbath rest and Jesus’ declaration that “the Sabbath was made for man” reset our reason for work by reminding us God holds the outcome. We learn to take Christ’s easy yoke, placing faithfulness in our hands and outcomes in His—discovering rest that renews our purpose and lightens our load. This...

This week we explore how work—something that takes up a third of our lives—isn’t just a grind to endure but a sacred calling under God. Drawing from Colossians 3:23–24, we see that our jobs, whether in the office, at home, or in unseen places, become meaningful when we work “as unto the Lord.” Rather than striving for human approval or letting work define our worth, we’re invited to find our ident...

What if your daily work is more meaningful than you think? In this first message from the Made for Mondays series—where we explore God’s surprising story about work—Jeff Brody unpacks our “original job description” in Genesis: stewarding, creating and multiplying in God’s image, making every honest task an act of worship. He shows how sin’s “thorns and thistles” pit purpose against paycheck, then...

In You Can't Stand on Sand, we explore the crucial truth that our foundation ultimately determines our future. Drawing from Jesus' words in Matthew 7:24–27, we discover how building our lives on anything but Christ inevitably leads to instability, burnout, and collapse. This message provides practical steps to identify and repair shaky foundations, encourages intentional rest and supportive relati...
