The District Life Podcast

This week the guys discuss Holy Week and what will be thinking on during that time. Good Friday is on the horizon, and Easter is hiding behind! (Only a little bit of sad March Madness thoughts) What are you thinking about this Holy Week? ...The historical obscurity of Jesus' death? ...Jesus' inner life as the cross approached?

The guys found a minute with JB Brown, Associate Minister at Dearing Christian Church in Dearing, KS to have a conversation. JB led a youth group to Delano over their Spring Break to help us do some projects around the building. Friendship, manhood, football, this conversation has it all! We pray that this discussion blesses and challenges you!

This week Travis sat down with Brady and Aaron to discuss their stories and how Jesus called them to Himself. Is Brady Superman? Do you know your story? Do you know how to verbalize it? What God has done in you is intended to be shared with others... your life can encourage and lead others to Jesus. If you don't know your story, reach out to matt@thedistrictchurchwichita.com and we would love...

This week Travis sits down with Eli Bayless to discuss discipleship. What is Eli's full name? Do you have a nickname you'd like to crown him with? We pray this episode will be an encouragment for you as you pursue Jesus and others.

This week the guys discuss the upcoming series Rise and Fall: the Story of King David. Why are we spending so much time looking at David? Should we copy David? David is remembered as a man after God's own heart, even though he continually made huge mistakes... we are excited to learn more about God in the example of a broken man.

This week the guys had the opportunity to sit down with Josh Gores, one of the pastors of Riverlawn Christian Church. Josh is a jack of all trades, and is one of the leading voices in the church planting network that The District is a part of. Who is Josh? What does Gospel Saturation look like? How are we trying to work with other churches to accomplish this task? We pray this unscripted conversat...

This week the guys discuss the idea of "mobilization" and how we, as the church, are called and equipped to be a force on the move. Instead of a Sunday-centric, come-and-see theology, how do we adopt an everyday-centric, go-and-tell theology? There are some great examples of people in our local community that do this really well, and many of us that want to do better! How do we join one...

This week Travis and Aaron Pew sat down with a good friend from The District, Luke Knolla! Who is Luke? Did he write the Gospel of Luke? Did he invent pizza? Listen and find out!

This week the guys apologize for failing to upload a podcast last week. Then they discuss the transformative nature of the Gospel. How does Jesus transform our identity? How does transformed identity change our behavior? How are identity and behavior connected? How are they different? We pray this week's podcast will be an encouragement and a challenge to you!

This week the guys discuss our newest class coming on January 21st: District 101. What is it? Should you take it? What's next?

After an absent week the guys return with a discussion about a slew of things: New Years' Resolutions (or lack thereof), fasting, and a whole lot else. We pray that this conversation meets you with a word of encouragement and, perhaps, a godly challenge!

Merry Christmas! This week the guys sit down with some District Kids (Emma, Calvin, Isabella, and Londyn). Saddle up for an up and down telling of the story of Christmas!

The guys record the first podcast in the new building. This week we discuss Christmas, final touches on the building, and delve into some conversation on why we do what we do. As promised, click here for the link to the Saturate podcast.

This week the guys have a guest host: Nichole Roberts! After a long, arduous, and unnecessary conversation on TJ's Burgers (again), our three voices answer the question, "what are you learning about parenting right now?" What do you think about arugula? Have you slowed down enough to ask what God is teaching you lately?

This week the guys talk about the Advent season to discuss our first sermon on hope and the second topic: love. If you have any questions or topics that you want the guys to discuss another time, email matt@thedistrictchurchwichita.com.

This week the guys discuss the advent season and our first week - hope. What is hope? How does hope fit into the advent season? We pray that your Thanksgiving week has been a blessing and that this conversation will challenge you to think about Jesus as the Christmas season begins.

This week the guys discuss the perils and opportunities of moving into a new building and permanently placing our feet in Delano. How to we keep from being consumed by up-keeping a new resource? How do we utilize our new space to draw one another closer to Jesus? We pray that this conversation and Brady's handsome voice are a blessing to you this week!

This week, the guys had the long-awaited opportunity to sit down with the man, the myth, the legend, Robert Beard. We hope that you learn about martial arts, Ireland, music, and whatever else (hopefully a lot of Jesus) that comes up in this conversation that forms us.

This week the guys give an update on the rooted campaign, answering questions like, "where are we on fundraising?" and "what is next?" God is moving and we are grateful to be a part of what is going on in this neighborhood and this city. We pray that this episode of The District Church Podcast will encourage you to take whatever step is next in chasing after Jesus and the peopl...

This week Matt and Brady follow up last weeks sermon ( click here ) about the reliability of the Bible. This week, the guys get the opportunity to answer the question, "What would it look like if I lived as though the Bible is reliable?" We pray that some of the testimony and suggestions of the guys helps you to approach the Bible more often and with deeper affection. Feel free to reach...

This week the guys get the opportunity to talk with a good friend, Clint Harden. Do you like birding? Aldi? Remember Tiger King? Get to know Clint a little better if you don't know him too well and sit with us as he shares what it has looked like for him to process the passing of his father over the last couple years.

This week the guys (mostly Travis because Matt is sick) explain some big news for The District Church. Where have we been? Where are we going? If you missed the Town Hall meeting yesterday, listen to hear the big news. If you didn't miss the the meeting, listen to hear more details and thoughts!

This week the guys discuss the next topic that was tackled in our Explore God series: "Is Christianity too Narrow?" A big thanks to Eli Bayless for preaching this last Sunday! If you didn't get to hear it, click here .

This week the guys got a chance to sit down with almost all of the staff during their staff retreat. We hope you enjoy this very unscripted conversation with the people who help lead our church!

This week Travis abandons the podcast. Matt and Brady Roberts take some time to answer a significant question from a dear friend in Brady's hub... “If we were created to know and love God, why did God give us free will? Why give us the choice and then punish those who don’t follow Him?” If you have more big questions that you would like to hear the guys attempt to answer, email Matt! matt@thed...
