In this episode, Pastor Jeff & Lydia discuss what spiritual and demonic warfare can look like and why it happens. They also discuss how you can recognize spiritual warfare and how to handle it.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I am under attack, I must not be in God’s will”?   The truth is—you might not be. But sometimes, the very challenges we face are evidence that we’re right in the center of God’s will.   Too often, people assume that once they become Christians, God makes life easier. But that’s not always the case. In fact, when we live boldly for God, the enemy often takes noti...

Would you agree that it’s becoming more challenging to faithfully follow Jesus in a culture constantly pulling us away? More and more, it feels like our world is growing hostile toward the values we hold in God’s Word. So the question is: How do we, as followers of Jesus, stand firm in today’s world? How do we remain strong in our faith while still loving well? Over the next four weeks, we’ll be e...

As we wrap up our series on prayer, Pastor Lydia Miller will be looking at one of the most important aspects of prayer: hearing from God. While many of us would say there’s nothing we’d love more than to hear from Him—for guidance, encouragement, or instruction—we aren’t always intentional about creating the time and space to listen. This episode, we’re going to get incredibly practical. Together,...

As you consider your own prayer life, it feels natural to consider the prayers of Jesus. How did He pray? What did He pray for? Because I don’t know about you, but I want to pray like He did!   Did you know Jesus actually prayed specifically for you? He prayed, near the end of His life for future believers. Specifically, He prayed that we would experience unity . He prayed that we would be unified...

For centuries, the church has been praying a simple prayer, “Come, Holy Spirit.”   This week as we continue in our series A Praying Life Pastor Jeff Moes will look at that prayer. Why has the church prayed this prayer for so long and what does it mean? When we are asking the Holy Spirit to come, what are we asking Him for? What do we need Him to do in our life? What does the Holy Spirit provide fo...

Isn’t it true—we’re all busy? You might have a demanding job, a family that needs your attention, and barely any time for yourself. And now… you’re supposed to pray unceasingly ? It can feel impossible. This episode, Pastor Jeff Moes dives into part two of our series, “A Praying Life.” We’ll focus on 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and explore three simple things God says are His will for our lives. These...

We are starting a brand-new series titled, A Praying Life . Scripture calls us to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Essentially, for the follower of Jesus, prayer should be as natural and continual as breathing. However, for many of us, that is simply not the case. No one has to tell us how to breathe, but we would really love for someone to tell us how to pray.   Thankfully, Jesus has! T...

We're tackling a tough question today - "Are we living in end times?" In this episode, part 2, we continue to dive into the subject, and ponder what influence the United States may - or may not - have in it all.

Erich Erdman leads us as we wrap up our series "Asking for a Friend". What do you do when something in your life presses against your belief in the Bible as God’s Word? What do you do when you read an article that claims to have “proven the Bible wrong”? How do you respond to your friends’ doubts about the trustworthiness of the Bible? Where do you turn when YOU have questions about the...

Ever had anyone come up to you and say, “It doesn’t really matter what you believe as long as you are sincere”?  Or, “What’s the big deal… Buddha, Allah, Jesus... it doesn’t really matter. All roads lead to God anyway.”  But shouldn’t what a person believes matter?  Do all roads really lead to God?  This week we are going to be dealing with that question as we continue with part four of our series...

In this episode, Pastor Jeff & Lydia continue to answer commonly asked questions from our listeners, we dive into something that a lot of Christians are wondering right now: Are we living in the end times? We do our best to answer that question in Part 1 of 2 involving this subject!

Have you ever found yourself doubting the goodness of God? Maybe it was personal—a loss of a job, a diagnosis that came out of nowhere, or a loved one that lost their life. Maybe it’s the bigger picture for you—the wars we’ve seen around the world, the devastating floods of this last week, or the children starving on the streets. It’s understandable to wonder how a good and powerful God could allo...

Have you ever wondered about the Big Bang, evolution, or even the age of fossils? What does our faith have to say about these things? And what do we do when we have questions or doubts about them?   The topics of science and faith are often pitted against one another. It can feel like we have to choose one or the other. But what if there were a way for science and faith to coexist? Join us this we...

Let’s be honest—sometimes we have questions that feel too awkward or embarrassing to ask out loud. So, we hide behind the phrase, “just asking for a friend.”   Most people know it’s really our question, but saying it that way gives us a little cover in case it sounds silly or uncomfortable. The same thing often happens in church. We hesitate to ask tough questions about faith because we don’t want...

As we finish our "Who Am I?" series, Erich Erdman leads us as we take a look at 1 Peter 2:11–12. Peter was writing to a group of believers who were scattered and suffering for their faith in Jesus. Yet despite the persecution they faced, he didn’t urge them to withdraw or hide from culture—but instead to step in and be a redemptive force within it. Today, we’ll explore two important ques...

If we're honest, many of us live our lives trying to make sure we aren't the “weird Christian.” We want to make sure that what we believe doesn't impact who we are. Ridiculous, right? The reality is though, that many believers live that way- maybe you included! It can be hard to figure out how our faith intersects in our world, and we often work to preserve our old selves and our re...

Do you ever feel like you're just not good enough — like you don’t quite measure up? We have. That’s why we're excited to launch a brand-new series this Sunday called “Who Am I?” Over the next four weeks, we’ll explore what it means to find our true identity in Christ. Because let’s be honest — when we place our identity in things like our job, appearance, or finances, it never truly sat...

Have you ever noticed that many Christians don’t know who they are in Christ? As a result of not knowing who they are—they don’t know what to do. We’re currently in a series called “Who Am I?” , where we’re exploring the importance of grounding our lives in our identity in Christ. Our goal throughout this series is to help you understand who you are in Christ—because when you know who you are, you...

Tune in as Erich Erdman finishes up our Promises series, looking at the promise of Jesus to find rest. The truth is, we live in a world where people sleep less than ever, rely on more caffeine than ever, and research shows the average American spends over 1,500 hours a year just feeling tired. Rest? It almost feels like a myth.    But Jesus offers us something real—something deeper than sleep or e...

In today's episode, Pastor Jeff & Lydia discuss more about spiritual disciplines, giving you some helpful and practical advice so you can grow deeper in your walk with Jesus. Thanks for tuning in!

Last week, we looked at the peace “willed” to us by Jesus. Though, I would argue that sounds like something all of us would love to have, it can be hard to attain. How exactly do I experience perfect peace, and what in the world do I do with all my worry in the meantime? Well, Jesus gave us instructions for just that! Not only did He will us His peace, but He gave us direction on what (and who) to...

In part seven of our FAQs series, Jeff & Lydia talk about spiritual disciplines, and some practical ways that you can begin to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus through personal quiet time, journaling, being in His word, and/or simply praying. We hope you enjoy today's episode!

Today, on Mother's Day Sunday, Pastor Jeff Moes continues our series Promises , we’ll be looking at Jesus’ promise to give us His peace—a peace unlike anything the world can offer. It’s a lasting, godly peace that isn’t dependent on our circumstances. Have you ever said, “I’d give anything for a moment of peace”? Of course you have—we all have. Life is busy: packed schedules, bills to pay, ho...

Have you ever found yourself asking, “God, don’t You care?”   Most of us have asked that question at some point. Deep down, we know that storms are a part of life. But even in storms, we often just need to be reminded of the presence of God. We need the reassurance that He promises to be with us through it all.   When we hold onto this — we can get through anything life throws our way in this fall...
