The Courageous Church Podcast

We live in a world that feels increasingly divided and disconnected, yet God’s invitation to come together never changes. His desire is for His house to be full—full of His presence, His power, and His people. When a community of believers gather, we tap into something far greater than ourselves.  In this message lead pastor, Tyler Padgitt teaches how to experience God’s glory in a way that transf...

There is a real tension we all navigate in choosing between our learned values and what we believe God cares about most. What God cares about is holy, and living His way means choosing to live a life on “holy” ground, not “hollow” ground. The policies of today matter. And policies matter more than personalities. In this message, lead pastor Tyler Padgitt, teaches on the role of a watchman, and the...

We all face difficulties that try to shape how we see ourselves. Whether it’s a chronic illness, emotional baggage, or mental exhaustion, it's easy to let those struggles define us. In the bible, we find the story of a woman who spent 12 years in pain and isolation because of the condition of her life. In this message, north campus pastor Brandon Rachal, reminds us that it is faith, not proxim...

Life is full of surprises. Sometimes it’s an exciting job promotion and sometimes it's a devastating job lost. Most times, we prefer a life of predictability. A plan gives us control, but it can also leave you confused when life doesn’t always stick to the script. It’s in these moments, that when we turn to God, we can find comfort in the chaos, even if we hesitate to believe things will chang...

We’ve all faced that moment where we realize we can’t handle a situation by ourselves. Maybe you were trying to pick up the pieces of a broken situation—physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Life can feel overwhelming if we’re trying to carry those heavy burdens on our own. But here's the good news: You were never meant to do it alone.  In this message lead pastor, Tyler Padgitt, teaches ho...

Have you ever paused to think about what truly shapes your thoughts? If someone asked you today, "What does it mean to be a Christian?"—could you give a clear, consistent answer? This has been the challenge of the Church since its earliest days, from Jerusalem to Judea and to the ends of the earth. So today, let’s wrestle with it. In this message from north campus pastor, Brandon Rachal,...

When it comes to knowing about Jesus, it’s easy to put together an idea based on what you hear and what people say. But who do you say Jesus is? And why? Let’s take a closer look at what Jesus actually said about Himself.  In this message from Tyler Padgitt, let’s take a closer look at what Jesus actually said about Himself.  To connect with or discover more about Courageous check out http://www.t...

Every day, we make countless decisions, big and small, often without considering the eternal consequences they might have. But what if we paused to reflect on the bigger picture? How different would our lives look if we lived with eternity in mind? In this message from Pastor Tyler Padgitt, focus in on what The Bible teaches us about keeping an eternal perspective in our daily lives. To connect wi...

Are grace and truth two separate experiences? Is it grace then truth, or grace and truth? Somehow, Jesus embodied both grace and truth simultaneously, never compromising one for the other. He didn’t offer grace as a pass to sin, nor did He hammer truth to condemn us, without offering hope. In this message from Tyler Padgitt, let’s debunk the TikToxic theology that twists this important tenet of fa...

“Get over yourself!” Most people take that phrase as an insult, but according to Jesus, it’s the only way to “get right with God.” Being on “good terms” with God isn’t something you earn or achieve, but rather a faith you embrace. It’s the concept of “justification” – the idea that God accepts you “just as if I never sinned” and chooses to see you like that every time you take a closer step toward...

We’ve all faced those pivotal moments where life throws us for a loop. We’re often left with more questions than answers and can even struggle with the idea of purpose. It could be a health crisis, the loss of a friend, or a conflict that shatters a relationship. In this message from Brandon Rachal, we look at the prison letter from Paul to the church at Colossae. Paul’s unwavering faith and purpo...

It seems like more than ever, culture is pushing back against the idea of male credibility. God’s idea is that men would set the standard for love, unity, and integrity so that our homes and communities would be positive and healthy places to grow.  In this message from Tyler Padgitt, we look at a letter to the church at Ephesus and what it teaches us about Godly living and order in the home. To c...

Can you do anything you want with your life? Yes. Should you do whatever you want in your life? Probably not. Life often pulls us towards ideas and behaviors that appear fulfilling but rarely yield positive lasting results. Without a moral compass, things often fall into moral decay. In this message from Tyler Padgitt, we look at a letter to the church at Corinth. The teaching to this early church...

In our fast-paced and often divided world, it’s easy to lose sight of the importance of treating others with respect and valuing every individual. What will you be known for? It will ultimately be determined by who you’re seen with. A circle of division, tension, and frustration will always push you towards apathy and pessimism. However, the right community of friends, leaders, and coworkers will...

Tough times often feel like a test of our faith and tenacity. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged, but it’s worth it to choose joy in the middle of pain, even when it doesn’t make sense. Choosing joy doesn’t deny the struggle, it demonstrates a growing trust in God’s greater plan. In this message from Dede Little, take a look at the letter to the church at Philippi written by a guy locked...

It’s easy to measure your self worth by awards, scholarships, the pomp, and the circumstance. Yet, beyond all the achievements, there’s one place where “try harder”, and “do better” take a back seat – the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s the unchanging message that by grace, God accepts us as we are, and there is nothing left to earn. In this message from Tyler Padgitt, take a look at the letter to th...

Sometimes it feels like life hits the pause button and forgets to hit play again. At some point we’ve all felt it…what seems to be never ending waiting. It’s a feeling of emptiness. For some couples, it’s the reality of what feels like barrenness. In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt encourages couples “in waiting” that through it all, God has a purpose and He will follow through on His promise....

The reality that there is an “end of the world” can feel like a tunnel of darkness or a beacon of hope. The reality that Jesus will return is both an eager hope and anticipation.
