Real Life Church Podcast

We all come from imperfect families. We all carry our own baggage, believing that it disqualifies us from being a part of God's family. But what if Jesus' family tree doesn't look all that different from ours? What if, like us, Jesus came from a messy situation? Mike Breaux walks us through the genealogy of Jesus, and it may not be all that different from your own story.

He prayed for and received wisdom, yet despite Solomon's wisdom, he still made some bad decisions. In chapter 13 of the story, Mike Breaux helps us navigate what King Solomon teaches us about attempting to do things in our own way.

Sometimes we can't tell that things are happening to us that are slowly breaking us. Micro damage that overtime will eventually cause an implosion, and this is what we see in King David's life. Is there a way back? Is there a way to avoid it?

Moving along in The Story, we enter the King era. Kevin asks us a question that Saul refused to learn, and that simply is, who is the king of your life? What does Saul and Samuels' story show us about our story and God's bigger story?

Aaron Lindsey of Believe Church LA walks us through Chapter 9 of The Story, which centers around the story of Ruth and how her story, even when it looked bleak, became a benchmark in God's upper story.

Do you see yourself as a hero? Does everyone in the Bible always get it right? In chapter 8 of The Story, Rusty George introduces us to a few Biblical heroes and the lessons they learned that we can apply to our lives.

Kevin Wehr joins us and picks up chapter seven in The Story, The Battle Begins. Throughout scripture, God uses unlikely people and things and in this story we see God use a prostitute, a scalple and a marching band.

We read a lot about Moses, but did he have a fault? Mike Breaux breaks down what the trauma Moses encountered created and how we can avoid falling into the same trap.

After their exit from Egypt, God gave Moses new commands for His people to follow. Over the years, have we got these wrong? Is it really possible to uphold them all? In Chapter 5 of The Story, Mike Breaux breaks down the story and how we can apply it.

Chapter four of The Story sets off the events that compile the book of Exodus. Rusty dives into how God used Moses to free his people. God reveals some of his characteristics and how we can lean on those to build faith in our own life.

Rusty walks through chapter three of The Story, looking at Joseph and how his story helps us understand God's Story.

Dear Real Life Family, From the start, RLC has embraced and lived out our values. And for the past 20 years as your Pastor, I’ve been so encouraged by the way you volunteer, support, and partner with our community to help people find and follow Jesus. It’s incredible, and I love this place more than you can imagine! But, after 20 incredible years at RLC, Lorrie and I have decided it’s time for us...

In week two of our journey through the Bible, Donté helps us peek into what Abram can teach us about journeying with God.

In the beginning God...As we embark on our journey through the Bible using The Story as our guide, Rusty takes us back to where it all started.

Author of "The Story" joins us to talk through his story and why he felt the need to create the story as well as what we can expect as we embark on our journey.

Rusty sets up why reading the Bible is essential and helps us learn exactly what The Story is.

As we are learning to Pray First, Rusty walks us through something called the Tabernacle Prayer and how it can help you become focused during your prayer time.

We kick off Pray First, a new series that challenges us to talk to God first. The principle of first can be found throughout scripture, Rusty makes it simple in week one.

in our final week of Real Hope Clint Duping from Eastown Church in the bay area encourages us to face the storms in our life with Jesus.

In week 5 of Real Hope, Brent Bramer, church planter and lead pastor of SLO City Church, asks the question have you tried everything? Sometimes in our lives, we feel like we've done everything but still feel hopeless. We feel stuck and are not sure we can experience healing. What does John 5 show us about Real Hope?

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Like you don't belong? You're in good company! In week four of Real Hope the Miracles of Jesus, Gabe Garcia, Pastor of New City Church in Oakland, Ca, explains why Real Hope is even for those on the outside.

We continue our exploration of Real Hope and the miracles Jesus performed with Ray Hudson, Pastor of City Center Church in Berkeley, Ca. Can God really do anything? What's our role in the equation?

Who is Real Hope for? It's for those who don't even know. Kyle Costello, pastor of Refuge Church in Ojai, Ca examines the first miracle Jesus performed, turning water into wine.
