Public Church

If some friends or family asked you, “Why do you follow Jesus?” what would you tell them? Are you prepared to answer this question? In Acts 26, Paul, the main character, gets put on the hot seat about his faith in Jesus, and Todd Stevison challenges us to follow Paul’s simple strategy, so we can be prepared to tell people about Jesus too.

In this talk, Todd Stevison discusses the mind and heart of God as revealed in three stories in Luke 15. If we internalize these three stories, we will become more internally aligned with the mind and heart of God.

Pastor Todd Stevison discusses our tendency to compromise that fills us with regret, and how if lean into this story in Daniel 3, God can show us how to stand firm amidst the pressure to compromise.

It’s so easy for us to drift towards isolation, yet Brad Stanley shows us that the essence of God is a relator, and he has designed us to be relators. Therefore, relationships are essential. If you are struggling with isolation or wondering what kind of relationships you need, this talk is for you. Brad serves with Youth With a Mission, specializing in Urban ministry, and works with his wife Jacki...

Men, what does your family and those you love desperately need from you? We could list a few things, but near the top of any list should be our presence. Those we love need us. In fact, today, we discuss that our presence is our superpower, and we dive into how to wield our superpower for good.

Cole Morrison, JJ Hulet, and Doralee Gordon each share about why and how they study and live God’s Word. This is part two in our series, Rhythms to Sustain, and the rhythm is “Anchor in the Word”. For those of us who follow Jesus, time in the Word is essential, and if you are considering faith in Jesus, read about him yourself instead of taking what someone else says about him. If you are looking...

Life both ugly and beautiful, so how do we navigate this paradox? How do we fight against rising anxiety? Thankfully, we find guidance in a letter called Philippians filled with paradoxes such as Paul tells us to “always be full of joy” while writing from prison.

Are you intrigued by Jesus? Maybe you're considering faith in Him? Perhaps you walked away, and now you're thinking about coming back to Him? Maybe you've been following Jesus for 20, 30, 40 years. No matter where you are, we want to help you see that following Jesus impacts every area of our lives.  With everything you listen to here, we hope that you catch a glimpse of the fact that Jesus i...

We finish our series by discussing the discipline of God, our heavenly Father. This may not be a topic that we are excited to discuss, but we need to discuss it.  A life of faith requires us to trust God as our Father, even when he is disciplining us. How do we do that? What if we had a bad experience with our earthly parents that makes it hard to think of God as a Father? We dive into Hebrew...

Often, we know what we need to do, yet we don’t do it. At other times, we are worn down and feel like giving up. What kind of solution does following Jesus offer for both those situations? It’s not try harder and dig deeper; rather, the author of Hebrews 12 invites us to become enthralled by Jesus. When we look at him and don’t look away, we find the inspiration and power to do what’s right and en...

At times a specific moment is emphasized at the expense of all others. Maybe you grew up in a tradition that highlighted your initial decision to repent and follow Jesus but then left you wondering, “Now what?” or “Is that all there is?” Today, we continue our discussion in Hebrews 11 with the story of Abraham that helps us see that he is not the God of a moment, but the God of the moments. He wan...

Often we know the right thing to do, yet we choose not to do it. One of the many reasons is that we yield to external pressures rather than the internal voice of the Holy Spirit, or if you don't follow Jesus, what you may call your conscience. When we let the external pressures win, that typically leads to regret. To provide a path forward, we dive into the stories of Moses and Rahab to see how we...

Faith is a commonly used word, what does it actually mean? The author of Hebrews gives us stories of faith to illustrate what it looks like. In this talk, we dive into two stories that can have a tangible impact on how we think about and grow our faith.

Louie Giglio says, “We can be the star of our own story, or embrace any role in his never-ending story.” In order to properly consider this offer, we need to know the never-ending story he invites us into. That’s why we are discussing the overarching story of the Bible as we kick-off our new series. We are left with this question: what will we choose?

Why does Easter matter? Easter is for all the ways we can’t stop ourselves from undermining ourselves. Almost all of us have bad habits and / or destructive behaviors that we can’t seem to shake, but the Easter story gives hope to our story while we are in the midst of our struggle.

Dr. Coats, a history professor from Lee University, invites us to think about Jesus, his death, and resurrection historically, academically, and critically. If you don’t follow Jesus, we hope this conversation inspires you to further investigate Jesus and take a step towards him. If you follow Jesus, we hope today strengthens your faith and empowers you to think about following through a historica...

Stories are so powerful! The evidence is a book or movie from childhood that has stuck with you or the show that you can’t wait to finish. Stories grab our attention and communicate in a way that a list of facts simply cannot. Jesus harnessed the power of the story, and Matthew 13 is a collection of stories that he used to paint pictures of the Kingdom of God. As we dive into the parable of the mu...
