Summit College Podcast

The Discipleship Pastor of the Summit Church, Dave Turner, comes to teach us about the tension in our lives as Christians that we have about going deep with a few close friends and going wide with other believers in the church. He is joined by a panel of fellow members of the Summit Church to hear about their practical tips on how to do this. 

Led by Julius Tennal, this breakout talks about tensions within God's character, namely that He is present and that He is powerful and how that plays out in the Christian faith.

The tension of God's wrath and God's love is one that we all have thought about in our lives. In this breakout we hear from Pri about that tension and the implications of the side that we fall on when thinking about God. 

Our very own Jordan Kohman leads this breakout on the tension of being in the marketplace and being on mission. He is join by a few people in a panel that understand this tension well as they answer how to balance this tension.

Yana Conner leads this breakout on the tension between caring for yourself and denying yourself through every day practical things such as taking the sabbath but also sacrificing certain aspects of our lives in order to have a more holistic healthy lifestyle. 

Sarah from Mercy College tells the story of how she went from death to life while at UNCC and how the Mercy College community has loved her well through discipleship. She then details what God has been up to in her life today through her discipleship of others in her community and what God has for her next after graduation.

In this interview we get to hear from two of our very own from the Summit College State team, Tanner & Sydney Powell, about God's call to move them to Myrtle Beach to reach Coastal Carolina. They will be going with a Summit Church plant with Tanner leading their college ministry.

This year at WinCon, we kicked it off Friday night by hearing from Josh Ferguson about the tension of being fed by the Word of God and being led by the Spirit of God. 

We began Saturday morning of the conference hearing our NCCU Campus Director, Charles Holmes, speak about the tension of engaging in the current culture and holding to our biblical convictions as believers. 

To finish off WinCon 2021, our college pastor, Wes Smith, preached on Saturday night about the tension between preaching the gospel during evangelism and doing justice in your community. 

Our College Pastor, Wes Smith, interviews Rebecca McLaughlin about certain issues that our college students will face while they are on the college campus such as things that our culture is asking of Christianity. 

Writer of the book, "Confronting Christianity", Rebecca McLaughlin, came to talk to the students of Summit College about the four things we need to do as Christians in order to live out our faith in the modern world while engaging in today's culture.

After Josh's sermon on Psalm 27 about being men of one thing: dwelling in the house of the Lord, Josh brings up two men of God that have walked through much of life and are known as men that know God deeply and personally, Rich Bowman (Summit Downtown Durham Associate Pastor) and Tony Diana (Summit Prison Campus Pastor). These two men outline what it looks like in their lives to spend time with th...

As we continue this year talking about "God's presence", Josh Ferguson brings a word from Psalm 27 for the men in Summit College about being men of one thing: to dwell in the house of the Lord and gaze at His beauty. We learned that to be men of one thing is what it really means to be men of God and ultimately, children of God. 

Continuing with our theme of “God’s Presence” for the semester, the Summit College women learned about God’s presence with the humble in Scripture. Through Psalm 131 we learned where the root of pride comes from and how to identify it in our lives. We finally saw that the only way to fight pride in our lives is to put our hope in the only true humble one, Jesus. 

Summit College College Pastor, Wes Smith, brought us a message at SC United on January 22nd about God's presence and how that changes the way that we do missions! If you couldn't be there or want to hear it again, come give this podcast a listen to get caught up!
